Tip for Screen Protector

Nspctr Gadget · 02-17-05, 04:24 PM

My X50v arrived and I already had the screen protector waiting. I bought the Boxwave Clear Touch Crystal. These are incredible. I had been using the Boxwave anti-glare protector on my old PDA but it the protector difused the brightness of the screen. Not so with the Clear Touch Crystal. You can't even tell that there is a protector on the screen. HOWEVER, when I was placing the protector on the screen, a couple of pieces on lint got between the screen and the protector. This was driving my nuts!
My tip: I took the hose from the vacuum cleaner and had it about four or five inches away from the Dell as I applied the protector. No lint or specs of any kind.
Hope this can help.
Disclosure: I do not work for Boxwave and have no business relation with them, other than buying their screen protectors, which are excellent.

Thanks for the tip. You can also try washing the protector and drying it with a hair dryer or a lint free cloth. To keep it as lint free as possible during installation, put scotch tape on the adhesive side and install in a semi steamy room (i.e., bathroom).

I am getting mad here.
I got my first set a few hours ago. I tried it a few times and
the last time I thought I really did it as good as possible.
but in 5 minutes, all edges were lose. I push them back, and they get loose
once again in the next few minutes.

What may be the problem? I washed the cleartouch, cleaned the screen.
nothing helps...!

And by the way, the width of the protector is 1 or 2 mm shorter than
the whole screen area.

First impression: Boxwave Cleartouch sucks.

Are most people using the Boxwave Anti-glare or Crystal? I'm not sure which one to order!

I went with the Crystal and am pretty happy with it.

Take a look at this comparative review to help you with your decision. I personally love the look and feel of the Crystal, but if glare is a problem (e.g., in the car with GPS), then I would recommend the anti-glare.
