The cost to replace the resistive touchscreen display is in the 3,000-4,000 dollar range, https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts-...tml?PNC=86804A (part 86110-60190) so I was looking for a tempered glass protector. These are great, they really work to protect screens from impact damage, and typically offer hardness, very high transparency and oleophobic coatings. I use them on all my phones and tablets.
The standard resistive screen is plastic and has a spongy feel. In addition to offering protection and distributing the force of any impact, the screen now feels like a glass screened tablet which I prefer.
There are small openings for the speaker+front camera as well as the home button. I chose to put the home button on the left side, but in the post below I decided to try the other side as well.
The first screen I ordered was too large, but after some measuring I found the Samsung T210/T211 7" tablet is the perfect size (you have to factor in the total size of the tempered glass and not the tablet display). I was able to squeeze out almost all the bubbles after application and any very small amounts of air between the glass and display went away after the first day.
Results:
This seller has them for the best price on ebay. About 4 bucks when you order 2.
So far I feel it's a definite improvement after using it for a few days. Originally I ordered 1 to see if it would fit. After using it, I ordered a pair of glass protectors for $4.30. I am going to try it with the other side after noticing the size of the border around the screen.
Also, this glass could not be more than 1mm larger in any direction except for the small spaces in the rounded corners.
