[Q] Scratched glass.. replacement?

so I scratched the hell out of the glass somehow... apparently a small bit of ash on the table was all it took... So my question is: Has anybody successfully obtained a new glass from Asus?

Not sure if it's also call "touchpad" but try here.
Maybe not since it's only 11euros

i believe that part is referring to the mouse pad on the dock...

Yeah that make more sense.

There are no replacements, believe me i spent 6 to 8 hours searching yesterday, now im just selling my tablet for parts my glass was cracked. The only way is to find some one with a broken transformer with that glass still intact and buy the glass from them. Sorry to here about your transformer

possible fix?
Well how deep are these scratches?
If they are just a mess of em but not too deep you could always try an aluminum silicate compound thatcould fill in shallow scratches .. i know 3m makes some stuff as polish

The scratches aren't incredibly deep.. I set the tablet face down on a desk on top a piece of paper... I thought the paper would protect it, but there was a few specs of sand or ash or crumbs or something on there and when i picked it up I got 5 or 6 scratches in the screen. Not deep, but definitely can be seen with the screen on.
I found a product called "apple sauce polish"... http://applesaucepolish.com
anybody tried it or anything similar and care to share their experience?

I think it read wouldn't work
This compound is advised against the use of applesauce on glass. I cant really find what its made of but the site lists use mostly on plastic covers...
Uhh here look up some 3m 06070
This stuff here is pricey but it'll last forever if you're justgonnause it to fix tablet/phone scratches..

I scratched my Transformer probably the same way. I don't care about the scratches, they are barely visible, but it made me think and I'll probably won't be buying Transformer Prime - if those things are so easy to scratch it's resell value will be poor (who wants to buy a scratched one?) and my Transformer resell value just dropped significantly probably. In that case buying new tab;et every year will be too pricy for me.
PS. I wear glassess and they appear to be harder to scratch than Gorilla Glass, I've done everything to them and they don't have a single scratch.

Remember this. Your glasses are a smaller target than the tab screen.

Still. The problem is I didn't do anything to the tablet that could've caused scratching and it's scratched. I did a lot of things to the glassses that should've caused scratching yet they are still perfect. And apart from the bigger scratch which cought my attention and could've been caused by some grain of sand caught in the wrong place there is a lot of almost invisible scratches on the border of the device (outside the screen) too. So it's not a single unlucky scratch. In a few months it will probably look like my old cellphone (which was scratched not by me - I bought it that way because it's only for testing apps).

Put on a screen protector, I think it will make the scratches invisible. Matt even better.

Yes, I'm considering that now, but if it in any way affects sharpness I won't do it. The cratches are almost invisible anyway, the problem is resell value only (which already is down, haha).

Get the clear one than, you will not notice there's a SP on the screen. Problem solve and cheap

Thanks for the advices. I'll just have to read a lot about those screen protectors and test some.

Ofcos the best part is that you can remove the SP anytime. I am using one that cost less than $5 and I cannot find any quality differences on SP brands somehow. I think they are all the same at least to me, others might have different opinion.

Haha, small village in Poland. Look more like a small city though (industrial region). You should really not write on forums while drunk.

Which screen protector is most invisible?

I need some advice from those that have a lot of experience with screen protectors...
I had an HTC Thunderbolt phone and when I was at the mall one day I had a screen protector installed at one of those carts/kiosks that is no longer in business. I don't know what brand it was but I really liked the fact that I could barely tell that I had one on the phone.
When I got a new phone I had Zagg install a sceen protector on it, thinking that I would like it because it was Zagg and they are so popular. Well I really hate the way it kind of has an orange peel appearance and it seems to always look dirty/smudged even after cleaning. I think the display looked a lot better without the Zagg screen protector. Maybe they have more than one type of screen protector at Zagg and I just need to choose a different type...
Anyway, with that said, I want a screen protector for my Infinity that will protect it from scratches but I don't care about glare reduction etc. My preference it to not be able to tell I have a screen protector on my Infinity. (I really prefer not to have one at all, but I worry about scratching it even with gorilla glass). Of course I want it to fit properly and not lift off/peel, etc, and I don't mind spending a little more to get a good quality product.
So all you screen protector experts, which one would you recommend???
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a wrapsol from office depot and love it. You can not tell its onthe screen. I had several large bubbles when i applied it, but their film releases them. Nicest i have ever used. Its a dry application as well. Fit is great with cutouts for dock and camera. Crystal clear and very tough. Works great with my stylus too. I highly recommend them.

I'm not sure they have one for the infinity yet. It looks like they only have the original Transformer and the TF300 listed on their site. It sounds good so I'll keep that one in mind though. Thanks.
Any other recommendations from anyone?

I actually bought one for the 300. Fits great. You would need to see the edge of the screen to actually tell its on there. Im as picky as can be with my devices and a cant say enough good things about the wrapsol. Not even the slightest hint of orange peel. Dont waste your money on the cheep one from amazon.

Yes, at least for this brand. I have no issues and the dock cutout is perfect. No issues docking mine. If not cutout for the dock they can peel or not dock properly. I was very impressed with it. This is 10 times better than any zag. The coolest factor was the way the film released the air bubbles. I figured i would end up tearing it off, but i have absolutely NO bubbles after a few days! Still as with any protector the screen must be lint free. I now know exactly what i will be buying for future devices. Give it a try.

Thanks for all the info... Looks like my local Office Depot has some in stock too. Also noticed the Wrapsol website only lists the original transformer and the prime but not the tf300... Odd that they have the tf300 at Office Depot though.

Pick one up. They're not cheap ($25). Take your time, make sure the screen is clean, and give it some time for the bubbles to release. Google wrapsol. I found a few reviews helpful with pics. Good luck.

I bought wrapsol tf300 screen protector from office depot, but I'm confused on the fit! I have not installed it yet but from what I see the screen protector will cover the camera but not the light sensor is this correct or I'm I seeing it wrong. If so does the screen protector effect the camera by covering it?

Just another option... I bought the Skinomi. It's a wet one. Make sure you cover all the ports with tape before you do it. I can't see it at all. I've also used other brands and have had similar results except Zagg.

No, you need to turn it over. Your looking at the wrong side. The hole is for the camera. The light sensor is covered, but I have not had any issues with it. There is a protective layer that you will peel off once you have applied the protector as well. I have had mine on for about two weeks and I am very pleased. Make sure the screen is lint free and use the card board piece to help apply and then be patient on the bubbles to disappear. Every bubble I had disappeared, and my screen was full of them. Be easy when you tear the tabs off the protector and removing the finishing layer.

That's weird because I do see the layer I'm suppose to Take off it says to take that's layer off first b 4 installing. But when I take it off its sticky and if i install it sticky side down it covers the Camera. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Still doesn't sound like you're using the proper side. The camera hole is on the right side facing you.

Thanks I finally installed it! I just didn't want to mess up and waste 25 dollars. I just got a lot of bubbles. I will give it time like I said. Thanks. It looks great by the way!!

FYI: I contacted Wrapsol the other day, asking about the TF300 protector on the TF700T and they replied saying:
"Each of our products are designed for the specific device listed on the box. Our product for the TF700T will be available shortly on Wrapsol.com."
That is not to say the TF300 protector does not fit, I'm just conveying what they said. Do you guys see anywhere that the TF300 protector does not quite fit?

I honestly don't know what they could change. I guess they could cut a hole for the light sensor, but i have no issues with it. I promise mine is a perfect fit with or without the dock. The bubbles take time, but they all clear up. Warm sunlight seemed to help as well. I won't be taking this one off period.

can the screen be cracked easily?

ordered mine last week with free super saver from amazon, today it just shipped , estimated delivery date is this saturday, so i'm waiting for it and so excited.
but i just read some reviews on amazon and i see people are complaining about the screen, they say their screen can be cracked easily and only cracks after one or two months, this make me worry a lot because after one month you can't return it, then i google tf300 cracked screen (if you just type "tf300 cr" you'll see google suggestion "tf300 cracked screen" which means there's a lot of cracked screens) and i saw a lot of threads about this, so is the screen really easy to get broken? did they get defective items or is this because of asus design?
some people even said in the first month it was working properly but on the 31st day (which is 1 day after the return period passed) the screen cracked when they hold the tablet.
so what do you guys think about this? how long have you used your tablet? and is it working ok?

yes ..I've noticed that the tf300 screen cracks easily....a friend of mine cracked her tf 300 screen by a light drop and had to get it replaced for approx 400 $ ....drops are not covered under warranty ...so I am gonna be real careful with mine ...

Yeah I would be carefull with it. Buy a screen protector, wont protect the screen that much but its something. Its not exactly gorilla glass.

Do you guys use any protective case and which one?

The TF300 does flex easily so we should be handling it carefully.
It would be great if you can get protective case or sleeve for the tablet. I cannot get any protective case or sleeve for TF300 in my country as the tablet is not yet available locally so I just use a netbook sleeve (bag) that fits TF300 when I commute.

The back plate also is easily removable (without voiding the warrante, as long as you don't lift up the stuff *under* the back plate).
I've heard talk of getting some stronger and nicer back plates made. Mine is currently rocking a custom milled aluminum plate which I made at a machine shop with the original as a template. Makes it quite a bit sturdier, and not too much heavier.
Perhaps some time soon, when they've been out a bit longer, some manufacturer will step up and start selling something similar.
Until then, I'd look around for a sleeve or soft-case to protect it from bumps and whatnot, and just be careful not to drop it. Treat it like an expensive, fragile laptop. (Which is what it amounts to in the end anyway, hehe.)
If you have any more questions and you can't find the answer here on the board, feel free to PM me about the TF300. I'm working semi-independently on several projects concerning it at once.
Dave
EDIT: I hold my tablet by one /edge/ all the time and I've never had any structure problems even before the back plate mod. So you should be fine as long as you don't drop it or something.

But how does that work, here i'd need to pay a lot for squaretrade warranty, i've heard their services are very good

I think the person who held it in 1 hand and it broke lied.

Actually giggled to myself here at work reading that!
Anyway, yeah I've just picked up one of these 3 days ago, and so far so good. Sometimes carry it around holding it from the side with one hand.
There is a tiny little wiggly line under the screen though, and not sure if it a bit of dust, or a really small crack. :/ Unless I really focus on it though, don't really notice it so. Not sure whether should take it back for a new one or not. Seems a bit of an insignificant reason really...

Screen Cracks ASUS Transformer TF300T
I had my TF300T for two weeks and was impressed with the interface and processor speed, so I decided to get a keyboard to make it even more like a laptop. The first time I pressed the tablet onto the keyboard, the screen on the tablet got a hairline crack from the right plastic insert side, 3/4 of the way up the screen. The tablet touch screen stopped working and even with the keyboard or a stand alone mouse I could not get a cursor. After many back and fourth's with ASUS, they still refuse to warranty a broken screen. They say physical damage to the tablet is user caused. ASUS is charging $200 for the repair. I paid $400 for the tablet and $150 for the keyboard. Not a very good financial investment. It is my understanding that the TF300T does not have gorilla glass like some of the previous models. So In the end ASUS cheapened this model up and does not warrant their own design defect.

Well i have mine for over a month now, got it with the dock and always store it "docked"
No screen protector or case
I "dock - undock" it often and never had a problem with the screen.
I also hold it with one hand, no problem still.
But i am always careful and gentle with it

So yea, same wonders here, I just got mine yesterday, but is is really that big of a problem? I know we are a small population, but has this issue happened to a lot of users?

TF201/700 Dock Feet

So I've got to say that every aspect of having the dock for my TF700 Infinity is absolutely outstanding. Though I have had one issue that is seeming to become worse.
The "feet" on the dock have started to come off. So far I have lost two of them, without a clue as to where they have gone. I called ASUS, and they said that if I were lucky they might have them for sale on there site, which they don't. They also said that these missing feet would not be covered under warranty if I were to even go through the hassle of sending it back to them.
So this brings the question. Does anyone know where I can either get replacement feet, or what I might be able to fabricate new feet out of? I wouldn't normally care about the feet, except that they do a wonderful job of keeping the tablet and dock from sliding around on my desk. I honestly wouldn't even mind adding a mm or two to the back feet so that they could do a better job of that while the tablet/dock are opened.
Any suggestions on a rubber type material, or other such material, that I could use to create some new feet? I'd be willing to make them for the community also if I could just find the right material. I am sure that I'm not the only one being plauged by this issue, maybe it's just bothering me more than most.
-FInire

Try on ebay - I've replaced the rubber feet on one of our laptops - there was a huge choice and managed to fine ones better than the originals.
Although not sure you'll get a colour match, I'm sure the sizes will be available in a number of heights.

Try a decoration or furniture store, they usually sell rubber non-slip anti-scratch stickers for under decorative items. They work rather well under the dock, too.

Dude, i have the answer!!! ............i have found the feet that are perfect nearly 99.5% the same as the originals. I just need to find the ebay sellers name from my emails, as the auction i bought from has been archived. I will post back later tonight with the answer

If you have a friend or you yourself owns a Hot glue gun then you can just put a tiny dolop of hot glue where the feet used to be. It should stay for a long while and they are just as good as a silicone nub or foot for these products. my wife has one of these thats the only reason why it came up. Otherwise i would go to Home Depot, by me they have a huge selection of these kinds of things for furniture.

I've got one myself actually. I'm just hesitant about doing something possibly so permanent. Also, I know if I can't get it just right, flat and all... It's really going to bug the crap out of me too... Not saying it's a bad idea, it's a great one... I'm just finding that I have to weigh it against my ocd...

The hot glue gun sounds like a great idea. I'll be trying that later today on my wife's laptop.

If you can post pictures after you've gotten it done I'd love to see how it turns out.

a small dab of RTV Silicone works well too. I've been doing that on my laptops for years.

I gave up... I used hot-glue... It works perfectly! And it's easily removable if need be. The only difficult part is getting it shaped correctly.

Hot glue works. I've used Sugru on my laptop feet. Love that stuff...

Found these online. Seem like they would probably work:

Those look quite nice. I'm going to order them, and hope that they stick on over my Skinomi. If not, I'll get the exacto blade out and carve them up to the right size.
I've had to replace my superglue feet twice so far, as they keep coming off.

Screen protector

Hi all
Amazon UK now have MediaDevil screen protectors for the XZ (front and back sold separately). Just fitted mine, much nicer than the ones that come in the box. Only been on for about 30 mins, but fingerprints actually seem to wipe off these ones! V happy.

did you mean fingerprints are still visible but can be easily wiped?

Yes. They're still there, but nowhere near as bad as with the original ones, and I can wipe them away on my jeans.

The front and back are sold separately, but there were two in each pack.

I'd just wish they came with oleophobic coating

They look nice but I'd prefer from the UK rather than imported from US.

I e-mailed mediadevil asking if they were planning on releasing one with oleophobic coating, got this response...
"I'm afraid we're unlikely to release an oleophobic version -- some brands do use this material, however it does not meet our standards for several reasons. First, this material often has a blue tinge, and we only sell protectors that are completely clear. Second, it is much more likely to experience the 'rainbow effect', and third, while it does show fewer fingerprint marks, it has also been our experience that the fingerprint marks that do appear are more difficult to clean.
If you have had a different experience with oleophobic screen protectors, we'd be very interested to hear about it, however at the moment we have yet to find a material that does not have these issues."

What is the general concensus on which protector has the best fit? I really don't like the spigen (too much gaps, and lazy cutouts)

Clarivue and martinfields are cut to precision

Thanks for that
I take it the Clarivues are front only. They sound good though from their website. But odd terminology talking about "1 set" but seem to mean "1"

Nope, im using it at the moment, its front and back (x2).. Great price, performs as it sshould sooooo no complaints so far

Ah awesome! They do look good. the front/rear lack of clarity on their wording was odd though. I even read their installation instructions for it and was only talking front.
Did you use that "masking tape" trick to install? Or just really good at putting them on? I'll be trying the masking tape way

Has anyone found any large sets of cheap front and back protectors on eBay?

Nope, just good ole:
1. Clean the screen off (Make sure no dust, lint, etc are on the screen)
2. Don it on the phone and use the cam cutouts as guide.
3. I did get dust and lint after installation, I used clear tape to take off the sp a lil and used another tape to get those lint/dust.
viola..
took about 5-10 mins for me to install perfectly.

Screen protector and water
Hi Guys,
I bought a Krusell Frostcover and had a front screen protector installed today. I don't remember its brand, the shop assistant threw its packaging out. I remember it was sort of blue, and it had a microfiber cloth included...
I never had a protector before and I'd like to know how it reacts to water. I'm not planning to go scuba diving with the phone, but since it's water resistant, it will probably get sometimes. May it affect the film? Loosen it? Or no problem, unless it gets underneath it somehow?
Thanks in advance!
