Screen protector for TouchPad - yea or nay ?

If you use a screen protector for your TouchPad, please help the community (well, and me too!) by letting us know your experiences, in particular:
What brand?
Ease of application (and removal)...getting the bubbles out?  Dust trapped?
Quality of the view (Glossy or matte finish?  Does it minimize glare/reflection?  Does it give off any distorted effects?)
Feel, and touch screen sensitivity issues?
Many thanks!

1. PhantomSkinz and some el-cheapo cling-type protector off eBay
2. Horrific application for the PhantomSkinz.  I will never, ever buy another of their products that requires water to apply.  The el-cheapo cling protector was MUCH easier to apply, but I could never get it 100% dust free under the protector.  Every time I applied it, there was always dust underneath.  So annoying.
I gave up on any screen protector for my TP.

  • Should I use a screen protector for an iPhone 6 Plus?

    I just bought an iPhone 6 Plus and can't decide if I want/need a screen protector on it. I take great care of my phones and do not set it carelessly down on any surface.

    Yes.
    We were going without for the first time, and after only 2 weekes,  my wife just showed me a hairline scratch on hers.  She says it could not possibly have happened, but it did.
    I just ordered screen protectors for both of ours.

  • Looking for Screen Protector for A5500-H / A8-50

    I'm looking for a good but reasonably priced screen protector for my Mum's new A5500-H. I know there's loads of cheap ones on e-bay but I've tried them for other devices before and found they don't apply very well or have a nasty rough surface that your finger sticks to, making the device unpleasant to use. I've got the model with two speakers, so need cutouts for them at each end. Generally I think the Matte protectors are better as they cut down on reflections, even if they do make the screen a bit less clear/sharp.
    I really want a pack of at least two, in case I mess up applying the first one or just as a spare for future. This one's cheap enough to buy two but I've not come across kwmobile before, so they might not be any better than the e-bay ones.

    This on the other hand is quite expensive at £11.69 for two but I think I at least recognise the brand, although there's only one review so not enough information to know if they're actually any good

    I was hoping to find something decent around £4 or £8 for two.
    Xtremeguard I think are OK and this seems like a good price for three but coming from the US I'll have no recourse if it turns out to be rubbish as it will cost more to send it back than it's worth

    The fact that they're selling this single one for more than that pack of 3, makes me concerned that the latter might not be very good
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-XtremeGuard-LCD-Screen-Protector-For-Lenovo-A8-50-A5500-Anti-Scrat...
    Perhaps there's a decent but reasonably cheap option for a different 8" device that I could cut down so that it just covers the actual screen area?

    Hmm, I notice that the cheaper Xtremeguard 3-pack says they have a "slightly grippy feel" which sounds like the nasty ones I've used before on other devices. The more expensive Xtremeguard single protector has to be applied with water, which I don't fancy either, so I'm still looking for suggestions.

  • Do you need a screen protector for iphone4s

    Do you need a screen protector for iphone 4s ?

    It depends on how you handle and use the phone.  If you put it in a pocket or bag with loose change, keys, grit, etc, the oleophobic coating will likely scratch and sometimes the glass will scratch as well.

  • Screen Protector for the TM2

    Anyone know of a good screen protector for the TM2 that doesn hinder the touch screen? I have done a search but nothing comes up. Maybe its just too new for now.
    Will a TX2 screen protector fit? I don't have a TX2 so I can't compare the screen sizes.
    Thanks

    I am using the Photodon protector for the TX2. It's honestly a bit small. They will cut them to size. I found videos online and apparently the Photodon interfered the least as far as glare reducing screen protectors go. It does reduce the touch sensitivity some, but I've noticed very little difference after initial adjustment. I like to take my college assignments and reading to the park with the kids and the nice mirror screen does not do well for that, so I went for the glare reducing despite the bit of fuzziness that results. The display works quite nice in spite of it. The inking, which I thought was excellent before the protector, is actually even better. I think the minute amount of texture actually enhances pen action. My two cents. I'm ordering another custom fit to size presuming my replacement machine performs better than my initial. I'm having a ton of post errors. I think it's bios, honestly, but HP offered me a deal I'm having a hard time refusing...still very torn. I ordered this to my specs with nearly every upgrade included. The replacement would not have my fingerprint reader and I've been trying to go without it to determine whether I can live without it. Frankly, in tablet mode, it's a godsend, although it is not nearly as functional as my old Toshiba laptop's was...It would register far more websites and programs than the one included with the tm2...still, logging on from sleep in slate is miserable without it! I tried an app that lets you sign your name instead, but it doesn't seem to like Win 7 64 no matter what I do, including unpacking the MSI and manually placing files in folders. 
    Sorry, got off topic...but give Photodon a try.

  • Will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5

    will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5? heard the glass is tougher, but still concerned about scratches.

    I think you probably should ask if others ever felt they needed them. I can tell you from my experience that applying a screen protector never worked out for me and I always took them off shortly after applying (bubbles / dust enclosed). But then a former colleague had his applied in an Apple Store and that looked perfect. Fortunately I never had a scratch in a screen as I always took good care (and my iPhones always had a pocket in my trowsers to themselves and didn't need to share it with keys or other scratchy objects ...).
    The case is a completely different story: I think every phone I had so far managed at least once to slide out of my pockets (don't laugh!) while being on a loo and hit the floor from low hight. Due to the covers I had, the phone looked as new as before, just the cases had a slight scratch if at all. Therefore a case would be highly recommended esp as it can safe you iPhone if you drop it from higher hight.
    Reading the first hands-on reviews it appears that the new iPhone 5 is built with materials that are less prone to scratch or crack but my first purchase next Friday will be a case. Not sure if bumper or full case but a case nevertheless.

  • Should I get a screen protector for my iPad air 2?

    SShould I get a screen protector for my iPad air 2?

    It's a personal decision. I've had a screen protector on my iPad 2 since the day it was bought. Same with my touch 4 and 5 (and I was able to sell my touch 4 to Best Buy in 'like new' condition thanks to a screen protector and case). other people swear never to use them and their devices are just fine.
    I have two nieces that like to use my iPad so I appreciate the protector and the ability to clean it off without worrying about messing with the screen. Others don't like how the screen protector feels and won't use them. So I'd say it boils down to how are you going to use your device. Will it sit on the coffee table and never leave the house and only be used by adults? then you can probably do fine without one. Gonna take it to school  and on vacation and all over the place using it wherever? then you should consider a screen protector and case
    Just don't go for the super cheap ones off amazon. They're cheap for a reason. I use a zagg one. it is expensive but it has a lifetime guarantee. If it's messed up protecting your device they replace it free. So worth it for me.

  • What is the best privacy screen protector for the MacBook Air?

    I am looking for a privacy screen protector for my 13" MacBook Air that will interfere the least amount possible with image clarity and such.

  • Screen protector for Pavilion x360

    I'm looking to get a screen protector for my new Pavilion x360. Since they are relatively new, there aren't many options. But those things tend to be interchangeable with other similar products. I'm wondering if the screen is the same size as any of the other, more established, HP tablets or notebooks?

    This is not an HP company, but here is someone offering a protector for that PC:
