Boxwave: Crystal vs. Anti-Glare
I know that ALOT of people on here use Boxwave screen protectors, but I was wondering what the favorite is. I am getting ready to order a 3-pack, and I want to know the pros and cons of each so I can make the right decision. Thanks everyone.

I use clear touch, I think I heard stories that the antiglair ones kind of distort the pixels.

I use the Crystal.

When I use one - I am bad not to use one. I really prefer no screen protector at all - no scratches as of yet.

I tried both kinds on my X30. I prefer the Antiglare because it seems to be less prone to scratches and has a rougher texture that makes it feel more like paper.

Yes they do. The best way I can describe it is, it's like looking through a transparent, tightly knit screen. It gives the screen a slightly grainy look. However, I would recomend the anti-glare for outdoor use because they cut down the glare quite well.

I have no opinion on the crystal, since I am still awaiting my shipment from Boxwave.

How bad is the "grainy" look that others have talked about in this thread? Is it very noticable?

It's noticeable but I wouldn't say it's bad. I got used to it fairly quickly. But if that kind of thing bothers you, go with the crystal.

I use the crystal clear, mostly indoors, best screen protector I have used in the last 6 years.

I ordered the crystal, but when I got it the dust and scratches were just too noticeable that I had to send it back.. and I got the antiglare instead.

I like how I can touch the surface, and I don't notice any pixel distortion. Like someone said, you get used to it VERY quickly. I guarentee if someone were to show you, you wouldn't notice there was a screen protector on.

I also like how the anti-glares actually come with a dust free cloth and better instructions
