Reddit reviews Wii U Precision Screen Filter

No, it's in the living room/TV area but we live in an apartment, which isn't small, but the living room is next to the bedroom. No issues whatsover. It does cut off if I'm in the other room which is further away from the living room.

My other tips regarding the Gamepad would be to buy a storage case like this, this awesome screen protector which has the best application processes I have ever seen and maybe extra styluses, though I haven't done that. The case and screen protector will help a lot against dust and scuffs.

I am sure you've looked into Wii U data storage options?

EDIT: The screen protector seems to be out of stock for now. You can look for a different one but I can only vouch for that one because I use it.

Get screen protector from Hori. Its the best.

I actually just finished putting my two anti-4-year-old accessories on my GamePad last night. I can't speak about any of the products you listed, but here's my solution:

I went with the RocketFish Invisishell (got mine at Best Buy, $7.99 retail) to protect the GamePad itself. It seems pretty sturdy and covers most of the gamepad. Being clear was a big thing for me, so that you could still see the Hylian detailing on the limited edition GamePad. This particular shell also has room at the bottom so that it can still be docked (Hori makes a similar product, but it's twice as much and can't be docked).

For a screen protector I went with the Hori Precision Screen Filter (could only find this online, $7.99 retail) - it was fairly painless to apply, definitely didn't have any problems as far as air bubbles. I did have a little problem with dust, and will definitely say that if you get any dust under it to flip the instructions over and read the section on removing dust. I didn't and ended up with twice as much dust under it as a result. I'll also note that they make a kind of bundle with a screen protector, stylus, and screen cloth - apparently this has a different protector that isn't as good, so go with the one that is screen protector only.

As an aside, I really don't get why people downvote these kinds of questions. Had the same thing happen when I asked for some input as well.

One of these guys right here. Hori makes the best stuff.

Get this one.

Its amazing. Put one on when I opened my wiiu.

Not a single bubble or spec of dust due to its unique mounting method.

Can't even tell its on there and it give me a ton of peace of mind.

The combination of nerf armor and the hori gamepad screen protector have kept the gamepad in ptretty good shape considering that my children actively try to break pretty much everything in our house.

The screen is durable, but it does scratch easier than you might expect. That's why I got the screen protector.

1.) Yes this is normal.
2.) These are the best: http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Precision-Screen-Filter-Nintendo/dp/B009NRO1J2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397062252&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+wii+u

Have fun with your new console!!

Nintendo sells the official Wii U Gamepad Styluses here.

I purchased the Hori Wii U Precision Screen Filter from Amazon and am reasonably satisfied with it. It was pretty easy to apply, but it seems like there is a very small gap of exposed screen along at least one edge when you apply it. It is small enough for me not to care though, I just make sure dust doesn't gather there by cleaning it out every now and then.

Make sure you apply it in a bathroom or somewhere relatively dust-free so you don't have to deal with dust getting under the protector during application.

This is anecdotal evidence, but I recently bought a screen protector for my Wii U gamepad and it works just fine. I'm not sure which screen protector you bought, but the one I bought has generally favorable reviews.

At launch the wireless range for the gamepad for some reason was really bad. I'm not sure if the recent update did something to increase its receptive range, because now I can watch/play games even in the bedroom behind a wall. I didn't change where my Wii U was located, nor did I purchase or replace my current router with a different one, so I'm not sure what changes were made.

In a previous Nintendo Direct Iwata has said that they're aware the loading between apps is taking forever. There will be another patch coming out soon, as it was intended to be a two part update. The first one was stated for Spring (which was pushed out already), the second one should come soon. I imagine by the next Nintendo Direct we'll hear more about it. I believe in a previous statement Reggie also said they'd like to put the initial system update onto the Wii U's from some time onward in the future (I think closer to holiday season?) so consumers can play it out of the box without having to wait 1+ hours for the update.

Thanks for your detailed response! I really appreciate the link you put for the LAN adapter as well.

The screen protector seems like a really good idea. Any brands you would suggest? Amazon pulls this up, and it looks promising.

Again, thank you! Happy Holidays :)

I keep a protective cover and a screen protector on mine. Those are marked up prices on Amazon and I paid much less at the time, so I'm sure you could fine similar cases and screen protectors for cheaper. Otherwise just take care of it and most likely you'll be fine. Worst case scenario I'm sure Nintendo will be doing repairs on them for quite a while, it'll just be pricey.

One more question for you: is the screen protector different than just a screen filter?

I'm assuming you mean this:

But does that cover the screen as well? Or do I need to also purchase one of these:

Thanks in advance for any insight!

If you'd like the screen protector, I HIGHLY recommend this one. I just got it and it's the best screen protector I've ever bought.
