Yep: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-infinity/features/
Doesn't mean that you won't need or want a screen protector though.
I don't use any screen protector for my tf700(whole family using it), droid Charge (my son and I using it)or galaxy S3(wife and daughter) and up until today, no scratch on any of them.
I don't use a screen protector on my tablet. However, my Samsung Captivate (just over 2 years old) has recently began scratching for some reason. But it doesn't really bother me since in a few months I'll buy a new phone anyways.

Oftentimes, the screen protector is not used for the most obvious effect of protecting the screen, but also to reduce glare (especialy when outisde or in high-intensity (i.e., harsh) lighting. That might be a reason for going for that screen protector anyway, the fact that the TF700 has Gorilla Glass 2 notwithstanding...
I would, however, highly recommend *against* using an anti-glare screen protector on the TF700 - I installed one when I got my TF700 and after two weeks or so, I removed it once I saw how nice the naked screen looked on my new Nexus 7. All that I can say is - WOW - the anti-glare protector *really* made a beautiful screen look bad! If you are going to use an anti-glare protector, you might as well just buy the TF300 instead since all of the resolution benefits will be "hidden" under that 10 dollar screen protector!

Absolutely no point to using a screen protector on the transformer. Unless you literally chuck things at it or chuck it around carelessly?

Couldn't agree with you more, and it's exactly why I've never used screen protectors myself. For some, the glare's too much. though.

Especially with the dock connected -- the laptop-fold makes it oen of the best-protected items in my work bag. Except maybe for the cookies I used to take along for the night shifts -- they oftentimes underwent cookie genocide during the train commute to work.
So many "do i need a screen protector" threads i dont know why these are not auto-locked...
Yes, you have gorilla glass.
Yes, gorilla glass WILL scratch
You CAN get dents / micro scratches / even full sized scratches in GG
You CAN use a device and never scratch the screen even without a screen protector the same way you CAN go to a dorm party and not get drunk. Just depends on you.
A screen protector CAN make it harder to swipe (esp the military grade ones)
A screen protector CAN reduce image quality
A screen protector CAN save your screen from getting worse damage and potentially needing to replace your screen.
Use your head. Gorilla glass is glass. It can scratch. Maybe not with something sharp like a razor blade but if you get grit or dust dirt rocks etc and it rubs against the glass that can and will make a scratch.
Anyone who lives in a place where they put gravel down in the winter knows it doesnt take long before you get pits all over your windshield. Those same pits can happen in gorilla glass. Yeah, you may not have scratches, but you can get all kinds of dings and whatnot. Hell, my S2 had a nice sized scratch along the bottom and that had gorilla glass.
You have to decide do you want the protection of a screen protector or do you want the tradeoff of a screen protector. If you like the feel of glass, dont want fingerprints, etc. there are oileophobic screen protectors out there (cost a bit more but better quality), dont feel like rubber, dont leave fingerprints, easy to replace if you do scratch them
Oh, and for those of you with a gorilla glass screen that IS scratched, give this a read:

Since the M2 has Gorilla Glass...is it necessary to have a screen protector on it?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA Premium App
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936911.
Personally I haven't use protector for M1 and don't use it for M2 as well. Newer had any issue without it.
There isn't a need to apply a screen protector for m2 since it has gorilla glass.
The only instance which i think you would need a screen protector is if you carry your m2 in a pocketful of nails, which isn't probably the brightest idea.
Go ahead and youtube for gorilla glass, there's plenty of video of the gorilla glass being able to take plenty of abuse
OK cool. I guess screen protectors are pretty much uselss on a GG screen.
theres really no point using a screen protector on gorilla glass screen as many have said. however if u still want too, spend a few dollars getting one that will not affect the sensitivity of the screen
personally speaking, i never had a screen protector on my X1, and that didnt have GG, and it help up very well to my daily abuse for 2 years, hence i didnt bother getting one for my MS2

honestly speaking mate, no scratches at all. the rest of the phone is in pretty bad shape ie chips and dents and cracks but the screen is as good as new
I use screen protectors for ALL/ANY phone, "Gorilla Glass" or not, seen as I believe all phone screens can get scratched one way or another. Also, I found dat they never effect the functionality of da phone, and in some cases improve it, for example on da Xperia X10 & original Milestone. Gonna check out "Gorilla Glass" on YouTube anyway doe.

There not a urgent need to use screen protector due to the gorilla glass but does have some advantages:
- fingerprint free screen protector such as those from steinheil reduces the need to keep wiping your phone. I used both the crystal clear and the fingerprint free version, and personally really like the fingerprint free one although it does "blur" the display a little bit but only if I hold the phone right up to my face.
- the gorilla glass could still shatter, depending on the angle of fall. I know someone who had his screen shattered, but still continues to use it cracks and all. and it's still okay because the screen protector kept the screen in shape and protects the sliding fingers from the cracks.
I have an OtterBox screen protector on my device and it works flawlessly. I also have a Skinomi on reserve, so when I need to replace the OtterBox screen protector, I can. But Skinomi is by far the best on the market as of right now.
I must be unlucky then, cause having my ms2 in my pocket (with nothing in it) and pulled it out to find a small scratch - now have about 3 or more decent scratches on the screen. I've had it fall face down on pebbles and come out wthout a single scratch, but apparently lint and cotton are lethal for it... go figure :S.

so I think there is no need to buy the screen protector just use the phone with care
I had Milestone 1 for a year with no scratches on the Gorilla glass.so it is not necessary to buy a screen protector for M 2.
I dont use screen protector too... But i want some good case on my MM2... Do you have a case? Any to recomend?
Sry for my Eng.
yeah, i was looking for a case/screen protector but i couldn't find any to fit it,
the slide kb seems to be a problem in those cases
I use the OtterBox case (includes screen protector), it fits very well and protects the phone
Are there any good (aka easy to apply) screen protectors for the Xoom? I've seen the anti-glare on other devices but that was a while back.
Any good/bad stories?
I've had good luck with GreatShield antiglare protectors, bubbles aside. You can't tell the difference in color like with my protectors for my Nexus S 4G... I hate how most antiglare protectors do that on most phones with whites looking like little rainbow green and red specks. I recommend these!

That looks like a pretty good screen protector but $20 seems a little on the steep side for me atm. Granted, tablet screen protectors are always going to be a bit more expensive.

I think you get what you pay for, as a general rule. If you haven't tried putting one on a tablet, though, I'd buy a cheap one or two from VZW or Wallyworld and practice so you don't get ticked about ruining a $20 protector. I found it much tougher than putting one on a phone, due to the screen size.

I personally wouldn't recommend anti-glare (unless you've seen it recently and know you like it). To my eyes, it makes any screen look very grainy.
Stay away from Zagg InvisibleShield - I have one on my Xoom and like it; but it's a tricky install. It took me a half hour to install it and it's perfect, though the opposite of easy!

I got the GreatShield from Amazon :http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-A...HAEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318595684&sr=8-1
it comes with 3 screen protectors, a microfiber cloth and a card to remove bubbles for about $11.00. They still have it.
I used up one and then got the 2nd one down with minimal trouble. No stickness or residue, but these things stick tight unless you purposfully remove them.
Almost no graininess and virtually zero fingerprints, and no glare at all.
I would recommend.
Do you suggest this for the Samsung tablet also?

I've encountered 2 kinds of screen protectors soft ones which are so annoying because they bend and stick together the ones I've had from Zagg needed some kinda liquid spraying on the protector which always left marks on the side I sprayed. The other ones that I really like are hard ones I could hold 1 by the edge and it wouldn't go flimsy or anything and it was easy to apply just put 1 edge down on the screen and slide so it's against the side of the screen and then slowly apply the rest of it.
What kind is the Greatshield? I'm want to buy a Xoom but I'm holding off until I can find a screen protector I like and can apply easily. I've already wasted £20 on a screen protector which didn't work even though I followed the instruction video perfectly.
Great Shield is the hard one, and you don't need any kind of spray.

Are screen protectors worth it? Or do they just leave smudges in the future when you take them off? I found a nice case on amazon that I'm going to buy for my infuse, I'm trying to figure out if screen protectors are worth it?
Anybody?
The Naked Shield screen protector came highly recommended by a folk here on the forums. You can either get the full cover or just the screen (I got the screen with the body glove TPU case)
and it won't leave smudges, affects screen quality, but not by much if at all.
edit: Got mine for $3.75 on ebay ($7.00 for the body glove case)
Thanks,
I'm just going to get the Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case, looks nice enough for a casing. I'm not going to use a screen protector though. I just don't want to leave any marks on the screen if it does.
I've found that unless you put your phone in your pocket with keys that you don't really need a screen protector.

These thread are kind of pointless. I can understand the value of asking which screen protector or case protector is or are better.
It will cost you $5 to protect a $400+ piece of equipment.
What happens if your phone does get scratched...too late for a screen protector.
Gorilla glass DOES get scratched.
Apply a matt screen protector or a good quality one done the right way and you wont even notice it.
Your assuming that there are no downsides of having a protector. All though screen protectors are cheap and work well. They do affect the screen quality regardless of how well you put it on and its quality. It's personal opinion on how much it affects it though.
IMO it doesn't hurt it too much and I have one on.

Thanks for the response.
If you're still looking for a screen protector I have the naked shield one. I just put it on my phone and it is great. It adds a rubbery finish but still slick when sliding. Unless you do a perfect application the screen does get imperfections that are noticible when looking at off angles (head on in low light it is not noticible)
I have an application with no bubbles and no dust and it looks great. But it is noticible.

Yes you should make a search through the forum next time but since this thread is already up..
I highly recommend a ZAGG Invisible Shield screen protector. It costs a little more but its absolutely worth it. They have a model for each specific phone so the protector molds around the camera and corners perfectly. It comes with a whole method of putting it on so its smooth when you finish. Plus if you register the screen protector on their website you can pretty much get a replacement for free if anything happens to the protector which isn't likely but still (too scratched to see the screen or something), plus if that happens it peels right off so you can put another one on and the screen is good as new. But its pretty epically scratch resistant, you can check out vids on youtube or their website. I can't stand when my screens get scratched, so I've been using it for years, very happy customer. They sell them at best buy.
Thanks for heads up guys. Much appreciated

These. They have great reviews. I am very happy with mine. Doing it's job well since July 2011. And it comes in a pack of 3 in case you mess up. And it comes with installation instructions. And, for giving them a good review, they offered to send me a pack of screen protectors free. So I got a pack of iPhone covers for my parents. Great company, great product
BTW if you mess up, soaking it in rubbing alcohol works great for removing dust and then you just try again and squeegee with a credit card.

It does have gorilla glass. When the phone originally came out it was on corninggorillaglass.com under products with gorilla glass. Now since it is old news it is off the site, but seeing as every major samsung phone is there like the GS, GSII, note, tab, and wp phones, I am sure the charge has it.

Without screen protector, you droid Charge will get scratch. Already happened to my daughter's phone.
I have never managed to scratch a smartphone screen, Gorilla Glass or not, and I've had smartphones since the original iPhone. I hate screen protectors of all forms. I hate the way the look and the way they feel, so I've never used one for more than a few days. I don't think I'm particularly "gentle" on a phone...the only thing special I do is keep it in a pocket by itself. I've seen other people's phone of various builds covered in scratches, and I still don't understand how they get so scratched up.

Doesn't matter what type of glass it has, it can get scratched. And not having a screen protector doesn't mean it will get scratched either. The Charge does have Gorilla Glass, but I wouldn't go around testing it out to see how tough it is. Odds are there are minimum hardness specs that it needs to pass, so some pieces of glass are harder than others.
I had mine in my pocket with keys for a year, no scratches. the plastic is scratched to heck, but the glass remains unscathed.
the charge has gorilla glass making it very scratch/crack resistant. i havent had a screen protector the whole time ive had it, which is about 10 months and it still looks brand new. and trust me, ive dropped it my fair share of times, infact i just dropped it earlier today. had it in my sweater pocket while i was riding my bike and it just flat out fell screen first onto the concrete. not even 1 little scratch.
just dont bother with a screen protector, it looks so much better without one.
but if you really are hell bent on getting a screen protector i can recommend Zagg, i had the enV Touch before this phone for 2 years with a Zagg invishield on the whole time. it kinda got that "rainbow" effect from the grease/sweat on your hands but it was very durable and scratch resistant with a nice fit. overall a perfect screen protector for my needs.
So everyone brag about how tough the screen on the charge, how would you explain to me there are 3 scratches on my daughter phone, which forced me to buy a screen protector???? you all claimed it "UN SCRATCHABLE".
I think you're the only person who's used the word unscratchable, but I did imply that you have to be careless to scratch a glass smartphone screen. Keeping my phone in a pocket by itself, and no other protections, has protected my screens without a screen protector since the original iPhone in 2007. Yes, there are situations where a screen protector would make sense, but in those situations, I'd probably rather use a case/holster that completely covered the screen.
I just ordered my Note today and well, my screen protector hasn't arrived as yet. I'm slight concerned about scratching the screen, im a perfectionist kind of guy. Btu the screen guard it comes with has the experience with the tab feeling quite icky. should i take the risk of removing it right now?

I have been using mine without a screen protector since I've had it, I did purchase one recently and took it off after about 1hr as I did not like the way it felt. Maybe I bought a bad one but I was not able to write as smoothly as I could using the s-pen and the protector on.
I have looked at the screen for signs of scratching and am happy to say that there are no scratches, a simple wipe with a micro fibre cloth does the trick to move any finger print marks or pen marks.
I've had the Note since launch day, I think that was the 16th August and have been using the pen extensively.
do finger prints accumulate very easily on the screen?

Yep, unfortunately the notes screen is definitely a finger print magnet, I try to use the pen whenever it's practical to do so.
Yes you need one,. Mine is scratched after 2 days of in door use,
Personally, I like the matte screen protector that I am using. I can see the screen well even in bright conditions and it doesn't absorb fingerprint. So far it hasn't given me any trouble when I use the S Pen and of course the protection is the added bonus. I got mine as a packaged deal on amazon, leather case, charger, car charger, usb cable, screen protector and headphones, all for about 18 bucks.

I almost NEVER use a screen protector. If I did it would be ONLY to cut down on glare .. I have had many tablets in the past. Windows tablets and used the handwriting recognition A LOT !!! I might be wrong but I always felt that as long as my pen tip was smooth I would be ok and it wouldn't scratch the glass. I still have one of my Lenovo Tablets and there are no scratches. There are no scratches on my Samsung Slate 7 either and I use that a lot .. When I got my Dell Streak I bought the Skinomi skin. It covered the Streak and the screen .. It worked GREAT but I don't know how any skin would be when you are using a pen .. I haven't bought the Note 10.1 yet .. Probably will today. I am more sure that I will NOT put a screen protector on the Note than if I will be buying the Note ...

I would love to use a matte protector just to cut down on screen funk from body oils on finger tips (we humans are slimy beasts), but I can never get used to the image degradation the matting effect causes.

Yes we (humans) are slimy beasts.
After buying the GNote and experimenting with it for a few days I couldn't dare anymore to touch the screen with my fingers. I just used the S Pen.
But this is not much convenient for navigating, zooming etc.
So I bought a matte film protector.
Everything's changed now!
I don't feel so slimy anymore and I can touch the screen with my fingers again with no refrains and guilt feelings.
It was well worth it for the very slight image degradation it produce.

I use a screen protector on mine for peace of mind. I changed the top of the s pen to the plastic tipped one instead of the rubber tipped one and it works like a dream.
