Oleophobic Fingerprint resistant screen protector? - Nexus 7 Accessories

I had one on my Transformer and it was fantastic. I got one after someone mentioned how tablets accumulate tons of prints all over the screen.
It did wonders for my screen.
I ordered a wet screen protector and while it looked good, it still had a print problem. Also the N7 has a flat screen and doesn't need a wet SP since there are no curves.
So I'm looking for a dry apply fingerprint resistant screen protector. Any suggestions?

Yea, no that's not what I'm talking about. That's just a matte finish which is not what I'm looking for. The reviews also say it "feels like paper" and "smudges too much". Both something I don't want.
The fingerprint resistive ones I'm looking for aren't matte. They have some kind of protective coating that resists fingerprints.
The one on my Transformer was not matte or anti glare or anything. Just a regular glossy anti fingerprint dry SP.
Any other suggestions? Cause I haven't found any.

This guy did a review on those screen protectors. Shoot him a PM to see how resistant it is to finger prints.

No need for a PM!
The amFilm matte finish screen protector is better with fingerprints than the clear one. You can see smudges with the screen off, but with the screen on, they're not noticeable. I tried taking a picture, but it's not coming out.
Anyway, what you're looking for is an oleophobic screen protector. Spigen makes one for the Nexus 7. I don't know if anyone else does yet.

Learned something new today. :good:

SGP Protector
I really like the SGP ones. I have had them on my Nexus S since I got it and love it. It by no means is fingerprint proof, but does quite a good job. If you have oily hands, you will see some, but not nearly as bad as no screen. I tend to like the matte finishes to kill the reflection as well. It's quite a bit on the pricey side, but worth it since it lasts a while and looks great.
I already purchases the SGP screen protector for my Nexus 7 and it's in the mail. If you don't mind waiting, I can let you know how mine turns out.
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/google/google-nexus-7-remium-lcd-protection-film-steinheil-series.html

Yea this is the stuff I'm talking about. My old one was possibly a matte but felt smooth. It was edge to edge and you couldn't even tell a difference using it.
I got it via being asked to review it, which I gave it great reviews but I can't find my damn review in the Transformer thread to get the name.
I'll look into some further now I know the actual name of that coating but I wanted to see if anyone had any they've found already.
After installing on my transformer, I don't think I ever had to clean my screen ever again... they're that good.

Yea it isn't in there. Maybe it got lost in the shuffle or something. SGP was probably the one though. After visiting the website it looked strangely familiar, as I visited the website to get a running list of features for the review.
Whatever I had before, I want on my N7.
I also changed the title using the relevant keyword.

It looks like the 'official' Google screen protector will be oleophobic. Can't put out a link yet, but...
www ibtimes co.uk/articles/370058/20120803/google-nexus-7-official-accessories-leaked-photos.htm

Keep an eye on the SGP site. Eventually that one will be available to.
I got my crystal clear from them today. And while it isn't fingerprint resistant it is oh so nice.

As some others have suggested, the matte screen protectors hide finger grease and reflections very well. I use these Fosman protectors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0CA7549 which are excellent and inexpensive. Like any dry apply protector you have to be very careful about dust getting between it and the screen when it is applying. Using the touch screen is much nicer with this screen protector since your finger now glides smoothly over the surface.

I bought the roocase screen protectors (2 HD and 2 Anti-Glare) and I can say that they are decent screen protectors. BUT you have to get it dead on when applying it as their is no room for error and also at the very top of the glass (above the camera) all the way across it is literally .4mm too short and leaves some glass showing. Not too bad as the screen is scratch resistant in the first place :thumbup:

A month and a half later...
I had amcase matte screen on my n7 for a bit. I got it from amazon. The protector itself was well made as it was sturdy and stiff, not a flimsy cheap feeling. It felt really good on the fingertips with the characteristic matte texture and it did not effect sensitivity, brightness, and color reproduction. Also it limited smudges by a huge factor and did a really good job diffusing the sunlight during outdoor use.
But in the end, one of the best things about n7 is its clear high def screen. Since matte screens make the screen appear fuzzy and does distorts contents on screen I decided to oder amcase clear screen. Am much happier but it does get lots of smudges that needs constant cleaning.
Hope it helped.

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I am using the gadget guard screen protector, i really like it it is heavy duty, anti glare, and anti finger prints, very easy to install, can be installed with wet or dry installation. It was a little hazy yesterday when i installed it, but really clear today, took about twelve hours to clear up after wet install. But only using it till my otterbox comes in.

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!
It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!
It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.
Feel is also not that bad.
Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!
For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

I was using invisishield protector for a few a months. Was a pretty decent protector. Didn't tear, anti glare and all that jazz. I ended up taking it off about 4 months ago because the protector itself was scratched and to be honest, since I removed it I've been asking myself why I bought one in the first place. 4 months later, not a single scratch and I think I have enjoyed the phone more without it. Screen is clear, sharp and bright and still without scratches. Often put in my pocket with keys, lighter and other hazardous materials for out phones.

Generally, for the average person, I agree. But I work in dusty/sandy environments and every phone I have ever owned ends up with scratched on the screen, gorilla glass or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might get a normal screen protector to put below the built-in one on the otterbox and see if that reduces the sensitivity for me.
Do we really need a screen protector?
The gorilla glass is already there right?
Is it useful?

same here, what will be the point in selling a super scratch free 2 years old obsolete phone .....
just like the slightly scratched glass on my iphone 3gs I gave to my kids as an ipod touch
I see I'm in the minority here but screen protectors just don't have the same smoothness as the gorilla glass. Coming from a Samsung Impression it felt like I was running my fingers on silk. And after 4 months of always being on my person I can attest gorilla glass is pretty kick ass. I've dropped the phone onto a gravel street and got very minimal damage. Now mind you the phone bounced, landed and skidded about 10' on the kevlar back so maybe it was just a small miracle it didn't shatter. But the only damage was a small knick in the glass on the top corner away from the touch screen and a small dent in the metal around the face. The kevlar took no damage at all. I've also had in a pocket with loose change and keys with no effect.
Now maybe I'm just lucky but the kevlar backing and silky smooth touch of the gorrilla glass as opposed to having to change screens and getting a bulky case that won't fit the HD dock just aren't comparable.
I go a couple of scratches on my screen, probably from it being dropped in the gym and all that good stuff. I went ahead and got a Zagg screen protector off amazon. It's not too bad for the 10 bucks I spent.

Good Screen Protectors for UK users?

Anyone have any good suggestions for a decent screen protector on the Nexus 7 in the UK?
I am currently using this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/VividShield...JG/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1351029987&sr=8-15
Bought it for 7pounds for packs of 3 few weeks ago, despite the price, the matte screen protector made my screen looked a bit grainy and I got 2 slight scratches out of nowhere although I am using a case.
Was wondering if anyone has any suggestion for a good one? I know SGP's are awesome but I don't think I can find them here and it's slightly out of my budget also.
I don't mind having clear SP's but I am skeptical about the cheap ones giving me rainbow reflections and fingerprints.
Hmm.. are there really that few Uk users here?

I'm using terrapin protectors. They're cheap and work fine.
I'm using cheap as chips matt ones off eBay, of course they make the screen a bit grainy but it's a good trade off for no fingerprints or glare.

I've noticed no rainbow colours or graininess at all. I've got the glossy versions, and they are quite reflective, but I don't find it a problem. They are very smooth like glass, and feel just like the actual screen surface. They are prone to grease and smear, but I don't find this excessive.
My one complaint about them is that they scratch easily, but I guess that is the point of them. I needed to change my first one after 2 months, but at the price, I don't think that is to bad. I've tried the wet application rubbery types and really hate the sticky feel and lack of clarity.

Thanks for your info. Its time to buy screen protector for mine

Looking for results on screen protectors with spen usage

I have read through the other screen protector thread and I feel like it's just a mess to read through because it's people either simply stating what they ordered or SSHguru from just like glass suggesting his product or talking back and forth with people about the orders. Just like glass is definitely one of the protectors I am considering as well as possibly looking at the SPIGEN SGP protectors.
I have not used a screen protector on a phone in a few years but due to the screen being so big and not being able to get insurance on the phone this time I feel a screen protector is wise. I just want to make sure it will not hinder the use of the spen. I am no artist and can barely draw a stick figure or even write with a pen for that matter, I just have horrible handwriting. So as long it still functions correctly I am happy with it.
I am thinking of adding a pole to this with the ones most recommended.

I am using Just like glass, I also have horrible handwriting and cant drew worth crap! (even my stick figures are bad!) It is a great product!! and SSHguru (AKA Scott) Is great as far as responding to emails and posts / concerns. That being said the protector I relived is a little short (Files where too big to upload!) and it sounds like he had an issue with the manufacturer. So I would wait until that gets figured out before ordering!

Ok thanks! And that was one of the reasons I am interested in his JLG, it just became hard to read through everything since it turned more into a thread about his protector and why to buy no others as well as him supporting people. His support is great from what I was reading. I just wanted to get the ball rolling on a thread that is about actually using the protectors and how they have worked out for people so far on all brands. I know zagg is something I will go no where near.

So I cant be positive until I receive it but assuming it is the right fit I would very highly recommend it!

I'm using the Spigen Ultra Crystal and despite it not covering the screen entirely I love it. It's virtually unnoticeable other than the fingerprints that it collects, which is something you'll see with all screen protectors(I had issues even on my oleophobic that I had on my GS2). The stylus works just as well as it did before I put the protector on it and there are zero marks on it from the stylus since I've been using it(5 days)
I'm using a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic and, in retrospect, I wish I'd left my Ultra Crystal on. The Ultra Crystal was all but invisible aside from the fingerprints that wipe off cleanly, whereas fingerprints on the Ultra Oleophobic leave behind a film that makes the fact that you're using a screen protector painfully obvious. All things considered, I should have stayed with the Ultra Crystal, and it's only my desire to not give up on a $7.50 screen protector ten days after getting the phone (as I did with my Ultra Crystal) keeps the Ultra Oleo on there.
That being said, I use my S Pen regularly, and neither Spigen protector ever showed signs of wear or marking from the S Pen. I did have an Xtreme Guard screen protector on there for a few days after getting the phone, and it was badly marked up by the S Pen. My theory is that wet-apply protectors are just a bad idea with the Note 2, as gooey plastic (which is basically what they are) is prone to being scratched up and dragged around by pointy objects.
I use the same material used on cars for their clear bras. S pen works fine, and it's very tough. I use it on my iPad 3 as well. Never buying screen protectors again. Lol
Reporting back with my feedback from using the zag invisible shield.
No marks have been left on it with my s pen. It is not as smooth as writing on the screen though. I am happy.

This is completely bogus. I had two zaggs on my Note 2, one replaced by Best Buy because the S-Pen marks were so profound, the second removed because it happened to the improved Zagg... Even with the second being a Zagg HD, I was 100% let down by this product. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
The SGP Ultra Crystal is, by far, the best available, as far as the S-Pen goes. It's just too hard for it to even think about leaving marks. That being said, I am eagerly awaiting my new re-cut just like glass to see if it's all that it's cracked up to be. If not, I will be certain to let you know... and subsequently go back to a SGP Ultra.

Let it dry for 48 hrs before using the s pen.

Has anyone noticed any delay/lessened sensitivity issues with either the SGP or JLG screen protectors? It's awesome that the note 2 has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity (I'm assuming it's built into the spen), but I wouldn't want a screen protector getting in the way of that.
Spigen ultra clear here works fine

I wouldn't do that...you WILL get marks on it...I can almost guarantee it. I too had the Zagg HD and after a few days use, there were s pen marks all over it. Initially it seemed like a great protector...actually, without the s pen it would be. However, if you look at your screen with it turned off you can see marks all over it. Go with xtremeguard, Just Like Glass or Spigen...any one of those will hold up better and they are all quite a bit less expensive.

I don't much care how the screen looks while off.
I don't really use the pen much either, just don't want that rubbery feel (OG Zagg) when I do.
As far as price, I don't really care as long as I get what I want. Also, working at Best Buy has its advantages

Glass screen protector

Has anyone installed a full glass screen protector yet? If Yes did it work?

I'm also interested in a tempered glass protector but I can't find one that had decent reviews. So what gives? What are you guys using? What do you like?

So far they don't work. I bought two. One of them was a super guardz brand and the other a vetroo. The adhesive is only used on the edges and the top and bottom so it's not like the usual tempered glass that sticks to the screen with an adhesive that's all over the protector. They're very flimsy and click a lot and won't work with a case. I preordered the OtterBox defender and I'm waiting the 1-2 months that it will take for it to come. I will be careful until then.

I had that Nano liquid screen protector on my Nexus 6 and it worked great I did drop it one time and it did not scratch at all. Now will it protect better than a glass one idk. But it's better than nothing.

Xtremeguard wet apps are great for the price and stuck well to the corners. Some cases will still push it up tho.
Skinomi has the best full body protection I've seen so far, but will only work with certain cases too.
Tempered glass protectors have yet to work on any edge device to my knowledge.
Samsung official pet/dry film protectors look like they have a great fit as well, but will have issues with lifting from most cases too.
Hope some of that helps dude.
I'm using Skinomi TechSkin Full Coverage with Spigen Thin Fit case.

On your recommendation, that's what I'm getting until things shake out a little more. I was going to be patient until my Spigen case came in but it arrived 6 days early, lol! Now I just want to put the Note 4 away and slap a sim in the 7! I could go back to T-Mob and have them put something on, but they just pissed me off!
I have been reading that none of the curved screen protectors out now work. They are saying that they only have adhesive on the sides. Hope they will come out with one that works good.
Screen protector case combos are slim to none on phone. Spigen worked well with the skinomi, leaving edges in tact, however the bezel covers made it much harder (than the s7 edge) to get on. Overall fit and feel are good, providing better clarity and original feel compared to xtremeguard. Product fails for me because it was $30+ and the side protection was useless. I would rather spend my cash with xtremeguard and get quintuple the product. One corner refuses to go down, and is gonna bug the living hell out of me. Definitely paying for the name and advertising with this one.
Will add a few pics later on.
After searching Amazon and other sources, I decided to go with a temporary solution for now. None of the reviews can be trusted yet.

I called amazon and theu refunded me the $30 on the skinomi for the extended install time and the bunk quality of the side protection. My advice, go with Xtremeguard, they have kicked /-\$$ in every device I have had and they are beyond afforable.
I took my keys today and put them in the pocket my phone was guess the results? Perfectly fine everyone will believe anything and everything they see get a nice case and you will be fine... this is my 12th galaxy device and by far the freaking best...

The OtterBox tempered glass screen protector in this video looks interesting because it is cut smaller so it won't interfere with cases. Unfortunately, it is the most expensive of the bunch. (I am not affiliated with the video creator in any way.)

Thanks everyone is tripping about that YouTube video with the scratch test. I don't think I will be scratching my phone with something as hard as the guy in the video did.
I don't know why they are making them without adhesive in the middle.

I was thinking the same, just doesn't make sense.
Yeah i think we all need to find a screen protector cause excuse my language but this is complete bull****. My phone has so many niks & scratches on it that it sickens me. Not even a wk with this dam thing never touched anything hard, nevet dropped & unless in my hand it sits in my pocket. Sorry but there is no dam reason i should have scratches & niks all over from maybe being in my pocket with some dam change a few times!
