View Full Version : My really bad experience with boxwave screen protectors.

I ordered a 3 pack of these protectors... payed $33.95 for them. They don´t cover the whole screen of my iPAQ, but they say is for easy removing of the protector... but in every review i saw, people liked this protector because they cover all the screen... how can that be? there is a 1.5 mm gap between the protector and the screen frame!

I´ll stick to my G2´s, no one can beat those... i ordered boxwave´s product because of the many positive reviews, so i still can´t believe they are so bad... and they are dust magnets, also. I´ll post a pic as soon as i can...

Did you get the right ones for your model? My Boxwave fits perfectly on my 5550.

I have to agree that the Boxwave dosn't cover 100% of the screen for my 5555. However. I am very happy with them. I read all the positive reviews and so I ordered 1 to test. I've used the G2 in the past and although they offer better clarity, I now prefer the Boxwave.

Here's how I installed it: Since the other half has adhesive, it attracted dust immediately so I washed it in water, dried it off a little bit and then applied it to my iPAQ. I used a credit card to get the water bubbles out.

Matt,

The gap should be very minimal, if you are not happy and wish to be refunded or have your screen protection replaced jJust contact [email protected].

actually you can try clear vinyl, you can find it in the crafts stores, like joann
Dirty cheap $0.31, enough for 20 times use.
although there are some bubbles, but it is good enough for me and it is easy to remove.

Thank you for the offer! The gap is indeed very minimal. I am quite satisfied so there is no need to send me a replacement or refund. I will be sure to order more once the current one wears. It's been two weeks and the Boxwave seems to be pretty rugged so I will be ordering one for my 2215 as well.

FYI - mv I think this would apply to you as well.

I bought a Boxwave for my 2215 and was very pleased to see that the sides of the protector fit flush up against the sides of the unit and that when I placed the top flush with the top of the unit there was just a very tiny space left at the bottom of the screen for removal. I hope my SP wasn't a fluke. I would hate to buy another one and have it be smaller than my current one. Although that sounds highly unlikely, you never know.
