Screen Protector Recommendation

03-31-08, 08:33 AM

I just ordered my iPaq 211 over the weekend. As I am preparing to migrate to it from my iPaq 4705, I do have one question that I am hoping someone can help me with.

I have never used a screen protector due to my 4705's built in cover. I am really sorry that a similar feature is not on the 211 as it was really handy. However, I would like to get some screen protectors now so I can start using them first thing when I get my new device.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a really good screen protector?

Thanks.

Invisible Shields are very good, and they're guaranteed for life. The website where you can buy them is.. invisibleSHIELD | iPod Cases, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Invisible Shield .

Hey Tim, I like Boxwave's screen protectors. They have a choice between clear (allows glare, but never gives a cloudy look) and anti-glare (stops glare and replaces it with a general cloudy look). They retain the same stylus to screen resistance (meaning they are slippery to the stylus). In fact, most of the time, you'd never even know they are there. They are also removable and washable (I tried it once and it worked).

If you're hoping to also make the screen a little less slippery, you could also get an Invisible Shield protector. They are about the same price as Boxwave, but are warranted for life. If they ever scratch, they'll replace them for free. (I have one on my son's PSP and it has survived even his brutal treatment.) They DO make the screen more "sticky" though, but if that's what you're looking for, they fit the bill.

Currently, I'm using HP's (anti-glare) protectors. It's my first foray into the anti-glare variety, so I haven't gotten used to the cloudy effect in direct sunlight. You can still see the screen, but if it's not on maximum brightness, you won't be able to read it easily. They were DEFINATELY easy to install (since the sticky side isn't so sticky that the first contact is irreversible) - I like that about them. I'm going to "ride this protector out" to see if it grows on me.

Hi Tim:

I've got the HP screen protectors on my 210 and am happy so far. I tried the invisible but the install is kinda sorta klugy and easy to screw up. I took it off and went with HP.

FWIW HTH

After reading many comments and reviews on screen protectors I have concluded that the two best are Boxwave and Brando in that order. All the others brands seem to to have one problem or another.

Boxwave is presently in the process of making a dedicated screen protector for the HP 21x instead of sending HP 21x owners the HP 4700 screen protector which is almost an exact fit.

Thanks for the recommendations. I really appreciate the guidance!

I love the invisibleshield's, although I have been quite happy with the boxwave ones in the past. Check out this site for quite a huge selection on screen protection.
