I just thought I'd share my experience with the screenprotector from Boxwave that I received today. First off, very speedy delivery, even to Canada. I was surprised they only charged $ 5 for delivery, and the parcel arrived two days later.
I could never make friends with "sticky" screenprotectors, since my experiences were all of the "try-it-a-couple-of-times-and-then-toss-the-whole-thing-out-the-window" kind. Too many bubbles that wont go away, too much lint that suddenly appeares even though you cleaned that screen until it's so shiny it could blind you. So I kept using the non-sticky ones that you move under the rim of the device. But they collect an awful lot of dust between the protector and the screen, which could lead not only to an annoyed owner, but also to a scratched screen. Ultimately something you were trying to avoid by installing a screen protector.
Anyhow, I got a new pocket pc, so I thought, let's try a new screen protector. Through an ad on Pocketpcthoughts (yes Jason, that same ad), I stumbled over Boxwave screenprotectors, called Cleartouch. I read some reviews and it all sounded great, especially the part where I read that anyone would be able to apply the screen protector without troubles - and bubbles.
And... it's true! At least I was totally able to do it. I took the thing out of the box, peeled off the protective backing, whipped the adhesive sheet onto the clean screen, and - voila': you wouldn't even notice that there's a screenprotector installed, if it wasn't for that great glare reduction. No fingerprints, either. I am amazed. I still think paying $ 12.95 for ONE screen protector is an awful lot of money, but there aren't any cheaper ones out there anyway, and at least this one is washable and reusable (yes, that works too).
Well, that's my experience. I am pretty happy right now. New pocket pc, a new smelly case, new screenprotectors... aaah... technology... it brings a big smile to my face! :D
