The Future is Clear: Proporta's Deluxe Screen Protector
A Review by vike99
Proporta, manufacturer of a multitude of unique PDA cases and other accessories has now joined the screen protection field. Their new Deluxe Screen Protector has the honour of competing with others from Boxwave, G2, Brando and Writeshield. That is some hefty competition! However, after just 15 minutes of using this product, I know, I will never buy any other screen protector for my iPaq!
One of the nice things about the protectors is that they are forgiving. I managed to get a blob of lint under the screen on my first application. I simply removed the protector, rinsed it in water, then reapplied. That is right, this is a screen protector that you can take off, wash, and reapply – which is why you don’t buy a pack of 10, but rather just 1. It’s all you will ever need.
This protector cut down the screen glare by a very sizeable amount, however it did not drastically decrease the brightness of my screen (even when set to the lowest level).
In addition to the protection that the product provides, and the fact that it dramatically reduces glare, it also improves stylus traction across the screen. No longer will you feel like you are dragging your stylus across a piece of plastic – those days are over. With this product it will feel much more like writing on paper (you remember what that feels like, don’t you?).
There aren’t many downsides to this product. One would be that for my PDA (iPaq 4150) the screen protector was a bit short. It may not be the case on all models, but for me, there was about 1/8th of an inch all around that was left exposed. While this is not a huge problem, it can be annoying when dragging the stylus to the edge of the screen, and then feeling it “fall off” of the protector.
Overall, this product, at £ 5.95, provides you with the protection that your PDA deserves, and a whole lot more. Visit Proporta to see if your model has a matching screen protector.
