Screen Protector for the 7022?

[FCastle1974]

I saw some other discussions on here about other Coby tablet screen protectors, but I didnt see anything here (or the net mind you) about a screen protector the the 7022. Anyone know if there is one available yet? Or maybe if another protector would work? Thanks everyone

Hi. I know a thing or two about screen protectors. I did some research and compared some sizes before deciding to buy the MonoPrice screen protectors originally for the Galaxy Tab.They are only $.34/each. I picked up 5 and they were delivered in two days. I assumed that they would be too big for the Kyros 7022, and as you can see in this picture, I was right.


But after 5 minutes with a razor blade, straight edge & a corner cutter, It fits like a champ. You can see it in this picture.

Thanks for the info Ninja, I just ordered mine. I didn't realize monoprice had screen protectors and cases. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle...

I also ordered some screen protectors to try out. I still have the one that came on the tablet but its got a bunch of bubbles

Since this is a capacitive touch screen with plexiglass I just clean it with water or alcohol or windex.

The Lexerd - Coby Kyros MID-7024 TrueVue Anti-glare MP3 Screen Protector, does fit this well enough and it really makes this anti-glare and finger print resistant.

Looks like the price went up to $1.33 each. Are they still worth it otech?

Thats weird I paid 53 cents on 8/22/2011. Yes they are worth it I bought 2 transparency and 2 matte ones but I am still on my first transparency one because they work really well. It hasn't bubbled or peeled and does a great job.

Awesome NBA thank you! I ended getting them both. Did you try the Matte and if so how did you like it?

 

[nba1341]

Did you get your screen protectors?

No I havent installed the matte protector yet I am probably going to try it this week though becuase I want something new and maybe to try and do a better job at cutting out the protector.

Hi NBA!

I got them yesterday, but have not put them on yet. Did you have trouble with bubbles when you put it on?

Hey sorry I never saw the response

I just put on the matte protect and love not having finger prints. Although matte does degrade screen quality a little but worth it to me not having to see my fingerprints everywhere on low brightness setting.

Did you ever apply your protectors? I only had trouble with bubbles on the very edges of the protector which do not cover the actual lcd just the glass. Although I just made sure screen was completely dust free before applying and used credit card to smooth out bubbles before removing the protection film on top of protector


edit: After using it for a few minutes and playing games with matte protector I regret not applying this the entire time! So much better not having annoying glare while using the tablet!
