Which one is better? Anti-Glare or Crystal
Hi,
I am about to order the screen protector for my X50V from Boxwave's website. But not sure which kind I should get, Anti-glare or ctrystal? Any ideas?

I prefered the Crystal. Then I purchased Brando and never went back to boxwave.

You can get one of each from PPCtechs as a package deal.

Order from brando. Boxwave has quite a few problems with their orders as people such as myself have noted.

As for the clear/anti-glare versions...

I've found it to be a pain sometimes trying to find an angle to not get a glare, but don't think the anti-glare would look as nice when I don't have a glare problem (most of the time)

In other words, get the clear, you can always move the axim to a spot with no glare.

Definitely a personal preference thing. I like the clear ones a lot, but glare is an issue for me, so I usually have an AG installed (I own both types though).

I got the Boxwave Crystal and had no problems with the order or the protector. Looks and works great!

I've used them both and like the clear ones better. The only exception would be when doing a lot of writing the AG have a better feel.

I just received my Crystal a few days ago and love it. Can't even tell there is something on the screen.

I love the look of the Crystal but would recommend the Anti-Glare if you're going to be using your device outdoors (e.g., GPS). Here's a comparative review:

Thank you all.......
I think I will get the crystal one since I majorly use my PPC indoors.

I actually have the Crystal as well and it is fantastic. They are somewhat difficult to put on, but I seem to have problems with pretty much any screen protector so it's not the fault of these. I need to order a couple more.

BTW, when I put the screen protector on I managed to get 1 very, very small spec of dust stuck under the protector near the edge. I really hate to take it partially off for that small spec since it doesn't bother me. Do I need to worry about any harm to the Axim or should I just leave it?

I love the crystal, but having never used the anti-glare, it is hard to compare.

just received the brando its awsome you cant even tell its on there. I used the old cheap dell protector to clean the screen and applied it in the bathroom with the hot water running to cut down on the dust in the air, and it went on the first try. the adheasive seems to be like a very small amount of liquid and dissapears as you put the protector on the screen. this is a brando ultraclear $13.00us shipped to my door (windsor canada) in 5 days from hongkong with no duty. sorry about the excitement but you cant even tell its on there i am used to the cloudy bubbly multipack protectors for the last 2 years
