Boxwave screen protector
I purchased a screen protector from boxwave. I am amazed at the quality of it. It is so crisp with no air bubbles in between the screens and protector.A total value for money.I gave it the highest rating. Please poll on this if you have any experience.

Only thing I don't like are the markings where I write all the time. Can this be freshened up?

I'm having afew issues with my crystal where as when it's installed the left most pixels (about 3-5) cannot be pushed. This is very anoying as it usually is where some programs put thier radio/tick buttons. I've tried realigning the screen a few times but the only way to check these boxes is te remove the screen protector. The image quality when it's installed is amazingly clear.. It looks like there is no screen protecter installed.

I have the regular (non-crystal) Boxwave screen protector on my Axim x50 and a Brando Crystal on my Tungsten. I much prefer the regular one from Boxwave.

I hate boxwave. Got it today and when applied on scrren, can't get rid of small bubbles all over the place. Plus it comes with sticker on righ hand corner and when you try to remove that, glue will be still there and will look ugly in the corner.

Just wasted 15$.

I'm doing a trial on boxwave and I'm not impressed. There's a tiny crease at the top middle, about the size of a period. This makes it so about 1/2" of plastic is not seated onto the surface of the glass. Plus it has tiny scratches all over. I think the unit is fine w/o a screen protector. Mine makes the screen look dull and ugly.

Got the Boxwave crystal and a new boxwave stylus for my 1yr old x50v, and the day of application, the NEW stylus apparently had a bur and cut into the screen protector. Applied pressure was minimal. Day one. I can only imagine what the months are going to bring.

I've found that if you have any problems the company is pretty bad to deal with. At first I ordered crystal SP it took about 8 days to arrive wich is acceptable as it's shipped from US to UK. But it arrived with a defect like a ripple on the adheasive side. I got in touch with them and they said they would send another. 10 working days past I send them another email asking if they have sent it and they say they would send another at NO extra cost to myself and to send 1 back if 2 come. I then notice that they have charged me for another one even after they say they were sending it at no extra cost. I've had to get in touch with my credit card company to put a block on boxwave taking anymore money. And I'm still waiting for either my replacement or the replacement for the replacement to arrive.

The Boxwave is a good protector and I have them on my Axim, but it tends to lift a bit at the edges. My wife's has the Writeshield C3 from PPCTechs and even though they cost a bit more, they're worth it. They seem to be a bit more scratch resistant, and do not experience the edge lift the Boxwave do. I've been using the same Writeshield on my old Toshiba for over a year and it still looks as good as the day it was installed.

Man, I used to like my boxwave, but now they suck. I spent about 25 minutes trying to put this latest one on (from only about 5 the first few times). I hate it.

Anyone know of any good protectors that are cheaper but better?

Like PPCTechs Better
I've tried both PPCTechs' and Boxwave protectors. PPCTechs lasted 7+ months before showing any signs of wear. However, my first Boxwave started scratching in the input area right away. I had to change it after about one month. I wouldn't characterize myself as a "power" user and would go with PPCTechs again instead.
