Okay so I got my new screen protectors and installation went as expected.

Unfortunately it went as I expected which in my estimation couldn't possibly be more contrary to what the designers intended.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to imply in any way that the designers messed up. In reality their product was made to be as idiot proof as possible, but as fate would have it I am an over achiever. Even worse, I'm an anal one.

After 3 attempts to install this screen protector straight I finally golf it right. Easy as can be and a perfect fit.

Of course now that I have it nicely in place I see all the lint and specs I got trapped under the protector. This wouldn't be as annoying if this thing wasn't so perfectly clear. The cover is so clear that it appears I have specs trapped in the glass of my Axim. The cover itself is no; even noticeable unless you are looking for it.

As far as responsive . . . I expected to have to press more firmly since during installation I noticed that this cover which is touted as super thin is actually thicker than the cover supplied by Dell fo $12.95 or so.

That wasn't the case, in fact I have to make a small effort to not press as hard as I used to because even the light drag caused by not picking up my stylus causes unnecessary errors. Again, operator error caused by tle habit of pressing hard with my old screen protector.

Even with the lint trapped under it I am much happier with the results of this product. I am already learning not to press so hard and I am happy to say that posting this from my Axim before would have never happened.

I give this product a 10 for first impressions. Only time will tell if it is as scratch resistant and re-usable as claimed. Even if it isn't - if it only lasts 3 months - I still think it would be worth it at $4 or so a month for the improved look and feel of the screen; which for me translates in to greater productivity.

Don't Panic!

Try removing the protector, (you all ready did it 3 times ), and using tape to remove the lint, reapply and enjoy.

REALLY pissed right now because there is no possible way to get the protector on without lint and specs under it.

I cleaned it well and shook it like crazy to dry it just like directed. First of all I couldn't get it even close to dry.

Then despite nothing on it and a perfectly clean screen I still ended up with several pieces os lint on it by the fine it was applied.

I know that I am anal, borderline compulsive that can't stand an uneven picture frame, but that doesn't make it easier to deal with. It's sad because I will probably just go back to the Dell protectors because I can get used to pushing harder but I can't get used to lint under my screen =(

oh, but to clarify... it isn't bad quality. maybe just too good. It wasnt made for someone who is anal, has oily fingers, and bad luck. I still highly recommend it.

Anal and oily fingers? Ummm...eww.

Perhaps the lint is on the screen, not the screen protector.

The point isn't where the lint is, since no matter where it is once the protector is in place. Once it is in place the lint will stick to the protector until you remove and wash it. After several different attempts with similar results I decided I am not capable of doing it.

I think using light tapes to remove the dust behide the screen protector is much better than washing it. After you washed it, it's very easy to pick up dust again when you dry it.
