Who exactly is the "Screen protector industry" and what exactly do they approve?
That was the most broad negative generalization I have read in a forum in a long time. To me that just sounds like a bunch of negative publicity crap. If you have a good reason for someone not to use a product give it... but don't make stuff up. Regardless of that, I have used the Martin Fields screen protector on my 2210 for the last month, and it is by far the best screen protector that I have used. The fact that it gets shipped from outside the US shouldn't have any impact on how well it works... It's not like we're talking about prescription drugs here.
Why I like and recommend this particular screen protector:
1) It is crystal clear making the display look just as bright as an unprotected one.
2) The protective sheet is stiff enough to allow you to line up the broad edge along the side of the pocket pc screen and just drop it into place... I personaly had no problems installing it.
3) It is slightly tacky, allowing it to stay firmly in place, but it doens't "stick" to the screen, more like cling (If you know what I mean)
4) Should you get dust under the protector during installation (as the review mentioned) just run it under water, or use a touch of dish washing soap.... dusts gone, give it another shot.
5) Main reason for like Martin Fields screen protectors: These things are tough as nails... I have not been able to put the slightest of marks on these things (I ordered a second smaller protector for my cell phone, and even rattling around in my pockets with keys and coins, not a hint of a scratch.) I have no reason to believe that this thing will ever need to be replaced. Perhaps you can get an 12 pack of another brand for the same price, but if they were half as good as the Martin Fields you wouldn't need more than one
I am in no way affiliated with Martin Fields. It just irks me when I see people slamming such an excellent product without rhyme or reason. If you Google for martin fields + review you will see that every other reviewer raves about how great these are. Do the research, don't listen to these knuckleheads spreading FUD

Ok... so we are talking about a U.S. patent holder... not an industry association... glad we got that out of the way (Thanks for the link Jim S :-)). So how exactly does the fact that they haven't licensed they're product from a U.S. patent holder effect the quality of the product? Products like "DVD to Pocket PC" aren't even legal in the U.S. but that doesn't keep them from being a good product in their own right.
PocketPCThoughts is a website catering to a world of pocket pc users, not just those in the U.S. I, for example, am a current resident of Germany.

Would you like to put permanent adhesive on you $350.00 screen. Then have to pay (Palm, Sony..) $99.00 to have a new screen installed?.
|
So, again, I'll ask people to refrain from throwing around meaningless FUD (crap making it sound like this thing gets super glued to your screen makes you sound ignorent at best) and make valid points about the product or it's competition. [/quote]

They own, the exclusive right to releaseably adhere a thin, flexibly, transparent, screenprotector to the face plate of an electronic instrument during use. |
Emphasis added.
I'm not an expert in English, especially since it's my 2nd language, but does it really mean something?? Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary answers for releasably "The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary." Even with a wide opened mind like mine, I could understand what the word would mean but I don't understand what it would in this context.

Does it mean those on the list are not licenced?
What's the difference between an "approved" and "recommended" reseller/manufacturer?

This is my valid point. Trust in junk you will get burned.
Trust in technology and you will be intrigued.
Trust in my words and We will protector your device.
The Martin Fields Overlay Plus Screen Protector has not been tested.
These are facts that you may not want to hear, but we will tell your readers.
"Ignorance can get your screen protector glued to your screen."
"Ignorance cannot save your thoughts."
Only compliance can protector your views.
Remember the extra nickel can protect your innocence.
Just a thought Good Luck
Good Day
P.S. One nickel is more than no nickels, and a Billion nickels is a lot of money!

The fact is there was just a review posted that tested the Martin Fields Overlay screen protector. I think it has been tested.
Or is it that it just hasn't been tested by you?
