Screen protector

[steve dave]

Anyone know who might carry screen protectors for this thing? I have one for the fire on it now but it is leaving quite a bit exposed. I prefer the cling type protectors because I am paranoid about spraying liquid all over my electronics to apply protector. Hit me with some suggestions.


EDIT: please save the "you don't need one" crap. I don't care what marketing name the glass has, they all scratch rather easily.

I emailed Zagg about an invisible shield, they replied they didn't know if they were but to check their website because they're always introducing new shields for new devices.
I would bet they'll have one out within a month.

I am excited. Looks like XO skins makes a screen protector for the N7. I use these on all of my phone and they are the best I have used. I'm ordering mine now.

No good for me. That appears to be yet another "wet" application.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to use a wet on screen protector either. Was hoping for there to be at least one review before I purchased anything. Also waiting for the colorful Asus cases to become available. I don't get why the accessories had to be delayed.

sorry i posted in the other screen protector thread to. I believe the second option is a non wet application.

Ha! I was wrong! Shipping starts between Thursday-Sunday.
Now if only real cases could ship that fast (not made for any 7-inch tablet but just for the Nexus 7).

I generally hate screen protectors, but the N7 is a smudge magnet. Need something bad.

I ordered one of those 'wet application' kind last week, but then saw a bunch of comments about how it's not clear and gets wrinkly, etc. So I think I'll just send it back.

Ordered this one over the weekend: http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Screen-Protector-Invisible-Google/dp/B00846Z34K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342619797&sr=8-1&keywords=CrazyOnDigital+Screen+Protector+Film+Clear+%28Invisible%29+for+Google+Nexus+7+Tablet+%283-pack%29

I have been using XO Skins as well for some time. They hide smudges very well and do not have orange peel like other wet protectors. Clarity will look a tiny but cloudy right after you install, but after a day, they are nearly invisible. I have to point it out to folks that ask why I am not using a protector.

I know you said you don't want a wet one, but I've had this on the first generation iPad and to this date it's still in perfect condition. While on my phone I have the normal dry/glue ones and it's really scratched up and looks much worse.

I rather just spend the money now and get one good one that I know will last years than buy a cheap one that I'll have to replace.

Note: I haven't gotten my Nexus 7 yet or the protector (both should be in next week), so I don't know how it works specifically for this device yet. I'm just going off the same company on a different product.

I just got and installed this on my Nexus 7. First wet-application screen protector I've ever used and, after putting it on, I can say I'll never go to a dry-application again. No angst whatsoever about getting it perfectly positioned, almost no bubbles even before squeegeeing, and the few bubbles there were were gone in about 20 seconds. Unlike most dry units I've used, it covers 100% of the glass.

Crystal clear, no prism effects, no diffusion of brightness, no alteration of color when I turned on the display. Took about 3 minutes from start to finish. Also, you don't have to spray the display itself at all. Just spray both sides of the protector lightly and lay it on - there's very little 'excess' liquid. I'm letting it 'set' overnight (I just turned it on - after waiting about 6 hours - to get a glimpse) and will update if it's better or worse tomorrow, though everything I've read on these says they only get better after a few days.
