I use Boxwave. They're expensive, but they are crystal clear and last forever.

I use Writeshield and have never had a problem. Crystal clear and haven't shown a mark yet. Plus, I use my fingernails and stuff on the screen all the time. even accidentally wrote with a pen once.

What about the ones that Dell sells on their web site?
I bought a 12 pack with my X50v, but haven't received it yet.

I ordered the Dell 12 pack just because I wanted SOMETHING to protect my Axim's screen until I decided to spend $8 a pop on protectors. They are difficult to apply without getting bubbles or dust on them since they use adhesive. They are a little dull-looking and scratch easily, so you will probably use them up quickly.

I am going to order three of the Boxwave as soon as I run out of the Dell ones.

Are the Dell ones not worth it? I am not currently using anything, but my unit is new. What's the best "bang for the buck"?

get the boxwave ones. You won't be sorry. I used to use those fellows stupid things on my Palm I had and these boxwaves are in a different class. You can barely know it's there it's that clear.

I would get somthing real soon.

I ordered the Dell ones with my x50v - they are not very good, but at least they are protecting my screen, while I wait for diffrent ones in the mail.

Where might I be able to find those at a good price?
