Boxwave Clear Touch OR Crystal
Anyone here have the Boxwave clear touch screen protector? or the Crystal Version? What's the major difference between these 2??

I am debating on the difference between the 2 boxwave ones, and the other recommended Brando.
Anyone have any experience after receiving all of your machines this past week I'm getting mine TOMORROW!!!
Any tips appreciated
Later

The clear touch is noticeable but the Crystal if installled properly is almost undetectable.

Some have said that the crystal is more clear, yet may not handle glares as well. Anyone think that is so?

I have found the Crystal to be more reflective than what I am used to. Glare has not been a problem, though. I have not tried the Cleartouch protectors yet.

I ordered the Crystal version on Friday, so I hope they're nice. I've read a lot of glowing reviews of the Clear Touch, so I'm hopeful.

I did have a Brando screen protector for my old PDA and I have to say that it really did change the look and feel of the screen. It didn't bother me at all and I didn't have any problems with it. It actually held up quite nicely for over a year. But this time around, I'd like to have something that feels as much as the naked screen as possible.

is it safe to use my screen without the protection if I do it safely and carefully? I don't want to wait for the screen protector to get here

Yup, been using mine since Friday with no problems. But I've ordered the Boxwave Crystal and will definitely put it on as soon as I get it. With kids and dogs running around, someone's always bumping into me or something might drop onto the screen. I'll feel much more relaxed about it once I get it protected.

Great! I couldn't wait anyhow I'm still debating on the crystal or the original. I've emailed them for true benefits. I'll let you all know what their response is.

I neglected to order screen protectors with my Ax, and it is pretty much impossible (afaik) to get back into that screen on the Dell euro web site. On one hand it's annoying -- I've had it a few days and I'm still using that factory screen protection sheet while I wait for the crystal protector to turn up; but I s'pose on the other hand I'd have got the (apparently not as good) Dell ones instead.

I was also annoyed that I couldn't go back in to add a spare battery to my order. I mean, you'd think that ordering accessories would be a GOOD thing for Dell to facilitate.
