I bought two different types of screen protectors to try out. I bought the Boxwave Cleartouch and the NLU ScreenGuardz. Since the ScreenGuardz were the cheapest in cost, I thought I would try them first. These screen protectors are very thin and use static cling to attach themselves. I cleaned the screen and proceded on. It took me over 15 minutes to position the protector to my satisfaction. I was not impressed with the outcome. First, I was after a screen protector that cuts down on glare since I use my iPAQ outside in bright sunlight. The ScreenGuardz were a little to "shiny". Second, the static cling method of attachment was very difficult to deal with. Bubbles everywhere. After 15 minutes of installation I was able to work most of the bubbles out. When the PDA was on it looked "ok", but when turned off you could still see quite a few bubbles. The writing feel was "rubbery" which I didn't like. After a little use, I removed the ScreenGuardz and re-cleaned the screen. Next I tried the Boxwave Cleartouch protectors. These almost fell into place without trying. A small bubble close to an edge was worked out in seconds. The glare reduction on the Boxwave's was what I was expecting, GREAT. The writing feel was like paper, again GREAT. I'm going to stick with the Boxwave's. Maybe I'll try using the ScreenGuardz on my Cellular phone screen.
