Which screen protector to buy?
I wanna buy a screen protector from scratching and dust for my X30H — which one is the best that you recommend, what's considered a good deal, where to buy it from?
Thx!

I saw on eBay a pack of 16 for $10US but I'm affraid to buy without knowing if it's good for my X30 — I've read that some screen protectors are crap (I think it was Belkin) and maybe for this kind of price these are not good either? Or maybe I'm wrong and should grab them right away!
What do you guys think?

Those packs are very likely craps. Guess why they put so many protectors in one pack. They deteriorate quickly and you need to change it often. But changing screen protector is a tough job that you don't want to do it often. Get those recommended by fellow Aximists, which is exactly what I am going to do.

Get Boxwave or Brando. As Kabir has stated - the first rule of determining whether the screen protector is a good one or not is checking a number of pieces in the pack . If it's >1 - skip it!

K so I finally decided and ordered this one! the "SPECIAL 3-PACK BUNDLE".. Although their price does seem to me just waay too steep, considering that it's just a little piece of plastic for christ's sake, but oh well..
Did I do the right thing?

I guess long after you Axim itself meets its Creator...

Sorry dude, but I think you won't be needing all three

A Brando screen protector may last you over a year.

The boxwave site says the 3-pack is at a $27.95 discount...but when adding to cart and checking out, it doesn't seem to apply.

I bought a Brando they claim you can dust it, wash it, whatever and it should last, so far I think it's 6 months old and has been fantastic, I don't hesitate to recommend them
