I just got this tablet. Do I need to get a screen protector for this? Making lots of fingerprints, specially my little sister (whom it's for).

i have one mines and it was very easy to install. I hate smudges on my screen.

imo, you should get one. i have a Clarivue (okay, but has rainbow effect) and i noticed two hairline scratches on it recently. i was using a Jot Pro, or it could have been a dirty finger, or whatever. better on the screen protector than on the screen.
I had one on my Prime but didn't get one for the Infinity as the one on the Prime got all messed up by the dock. I dislike smudges but i just clean it often, but with the gorilla glass you really should have to worry about scratches. Mine still looks pretty new every time i clean the screen so I'm happy without.
If you are worried about it though, just get a protector anyways, nothing wrong with rather being safe then sorry.

Its this the same specs as the Prime?
I am trying to buy a case and screen protector for it.
Help....
I think it's similar enough that anything that isn't made to fit will fit it loosely. What kind of case are you talking about? The screen protector should fit, it's similar enough. Test the size before you put it on.

The case should probably fit no problem, it might be looser or tighter than the Prime, but it should fit just fine. I'm not sure if you need the screen protector, but the Prime and Infinity have pretty much the same size.
I just ordered this one from Amazon. Less than $20, genuine leather and comes with a stylus.

The case is referenced as being specifically fit to the TF700, so that means a return policy option if it would not, contrary to expectations. The screen protector would probably fit -- as said, trim the edges from the dock connector areas if you use the dock -- but ask yourself if you really want/need to sacrifice sharpness of the screen for a slight amount of added protection. The screen itself is one of the main selling points, remember?
I'm wondering why bother with a screen protecter when it's got Gorilla Glass? There are videos of people using the TF101 as a cutting board with no ill-effects. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUcJnwyCtes
I haven't used a screen protector at all with my TF101 for the year that I've had it. It does have a case, and the keyboard, so it's not like the screen is exposed for abuse much, but I have not noticed any scratches at all on the screen.

I wouldn't compare too different products. Screens are fused with the main body on different ways causing differences in durability. Also another thing to consider is that my old phone had Gorilla Glass but scratched way more than my non Gorilla S2. Honestly I think Gorilla Glass are just like Beats headphones a marketing gimmick or masterpiece depend in on how you look at it.

Was wondering whether I should get the TF300 or the Prime. The TF300 is cheaper and has the plastic back and I really need good wifi reception. Was concerned about the screen. I hear its identical to the Prime, except for the glass? How good/bad is the glass? Is there a visible difference between the two displays with the cheaper glass being used? How does the glass feel? Is it hard and smooth? Is the touchscreen responsive? Yeah the glass may sound like a trivial thing, but I've used phones that had really cheap glass or plastic and it felt horrible to touch, had a lot of give, and made the screen cloudier than a more premium glass would.
The display seems nice, good viewing angles, smooth surface and very responsive. It doesn't feel cheap at all, but you can go to a store and test it next to other tablets.

personally i think the TF300 is better value, but it depends on what your after. Compare the specs of the 2, you will notice the TF300 while cheaper, has slightly better specs in a few areas than the Prime and vice versa. As far as the screen goes, i havent held the Prime, but I have had MANY Tablets and the TF300T has a very clear and vivid display with a nice thick Glass screen. I dont even use a screen protector on my TF300.... its the 1st Tab i have owned where i didnt run out and buy a protector the first day.

Can the dust specks caught under the protector harm the screen of the TF300? It has been something made me wonder a few times after applying one.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
it can and it can be very annoying. even if your super extra careful chances are high that you will still get dust under the protected. in my opinion you don't really need a protector since the glass is hardened glass(generic gorilla glass)

Well after close examination, it seems like it's all lint specks. Doesn't seem like they're dirt specks or sand but I'm going to try and use scotch tape to get them out.

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:

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.

wow...what did you do to it
And i have a fold cover case for it which would be closed unless it is in use
nope you don't need one
If you take care of it. My opinion is you don't need one. I never use them for the screen.:fingers-crossed:
I agree, I never use a protector on any of my devices and I don't have any scratches
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.

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.

I never used one for all the tablets I've owned which is five now, but I do put them on my phones.
Although I have a travel sleeve that I use while transporting.
I don't find they get scratched as long as your not being an amateur.
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 ...

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.
