Bill, do those screen protectors also block glare? When I use my 210 for GPS I get glare, especially if the sun is shining at the right spot and the windows are reflecting.

The package says nothing about glare....don't think so.
I bought my screen protector in Hong Kong together with the iPaq 212,
cost about 15US$, but it gives a foggy screen under sunlight. Very bad for GPS operation.
Speaking of HP's and screen protectors ... I've quit using the screen protectors. I'm still watching the machine but my hx2495b was having some stability problems (random crashes and occasional weird behaviour). Kept removing and re-installing stuff to try and sort it out. Nothing worked. Then, for a different reason, I removed the screen protector. Decided to wait a bit before replacing it with a new one. (Screen Guardz). That was 3 days ago - and have had absolutely no more instability on the device at all. I'm beginning to suspect that the screen protector was putting pressure on the digitizer somewhere and causing spurious inputs. Don't know exactly what was going on but so far the machine is solid as a rock.
I'm done with those things (the screen protectors). I went through this on my Axim, too. Finally gave up on 'em and used it for 3 years without any problems. Will watch for awhile longer and report my findings.
Bye the bye...I sometime ago sent to PPCTECH for a 4700 protector a Writeshield and the install kit. I got the others cause of concerns about the "trimming" that has been mentioned here and elsewhere. If you are as klutzy as I can be....well I worried. Turns out, it looks as if the 4700 screen protector is a near perfect fit on the 210 screen. One of the things I like about Writeshield and the HP protectors is that they go on and come off easilly, with minor care you end up with something you aren't ashamed to turn on.
The Pdair comes direct from Hong Kong with 7-21 days on shipping.

Hello,
I placed order of the Ultra Clear Screen Protector at the www.pdair.com two days ago, and already paid the item by the payPal. I then received the reply email giving me the order no. and said they would send me the shipping notification "very soon".
But now after two days, no sign from the www.pdair.com so far. I sent an email to them yesterday, to my surprise, no reply. It seems like that their Web site was not operated and they only receive orders and take no action.
I will complain to the payPal next week and ask for money back.

So be careful of this Web site.
Not having ordered from pdair I advised about the 7-21 days for Shipment based on ordering from anothe HongKong outfit. I think the 7-21days is time in shipment, not time to ship. nor order processing time. Slow, but not to cheat you (i don't think) .
Its interesting what you say about not using a screen protector.
I had a Palm IIIe and Sony (the clamshell one) and handspring platinum - in all 3 writing on the digitizer in the small area cause scratches to the point that it was almost unusable. In my Axim I decided to use one - and my screen really is just about pristine (if only the rest of it would work!)
I am a convert and refuse to touch my PDA without a screen protector! I just hope that it won' have stability problems mentioned here!
