Customer Review: Pretty good does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
Ofcourse you still have to be careful. It does protect ur screen. most important be careful you don't create air bubbles.Customer Review: Try ShieldZone Before You Buy This
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this on June 15, 2007, arrived 3 days later. The screen protector is nice but the method Belkin wants you to put it on is not so easy. first of all, you can't touch the sticky side, no matter what. It will trap dust and fingerprints and it WON'T come off. I tried washing the overlay with the wipes they came with and it got worse. So then I washed it in really hot water and it helped a little. Even after washing it in water, the sticky side was still sticky and stuck on my Zune correctly. However pretty much everywhere you put the overlay on the Zune there will be dirt/particles in the air, and so usually there will be some dirt trapped under the screen.
I know someonw who used the ShieldZone screen protectors, and they are much better at protecting the screen, and even though they're harder to put on, if you mess up you can reapp[ly it with no problems. With this Belkin thing, I messed up and now theres a ton of dirt trapped under my screen and a few air bubbles too. With the shield sone theres none of that because of its type of surface; it's not a hard plastic sheet like this Belkin, but its more like a stretchy rubber type of material. Apparently the type of material was made for the US Army to protect their helicoptor blades.
One advantage of the Belkin though, is that is is very clear and no one will notice you have one on your Zune, iPod, PDA, whatever. (unless you're like me and have a ton of dirt under it)
good luck with w/e you choose. ALso, if you chooose the Belkin, install it somewhere where its steamy, like a bathroom after a hot shower, since there is less dirt in the air when its hot and steamy and humid.
Customer Review: Nice protector, lousy application method.
Summary: 3 Stars
The Belkin ClearScreen Overlay is a nice, solid, clear overlay for the Zune screen. It is not, however, very easy to get a perfect application with it. Some quality screen protectors have tabs to hold on to while applying. You have to use your fingers to peel it from its backing, and doing so resulted in dust getting in around the edges on mine. The edges are also a little rough, and it remained unstuck around the very edges of the screen. Some might have been satisfied with the results, but I wasn't willing to live with visible dust and rough edges.
I would not buy this product again -- spend a few extra dollars for a brand which is a little more fail-proof. It's a shame Belkin didn't make this easier to apply, because the protector itself is pretty nice and the cleaning wipes are a nice touch (and worked very well).
Customer Review: Does not stick very well
Summary: 3 Stars
I followed the directions. I cleaned with the wet cloth, I dried with the dry cloth, I peeled a teeny tiny bit of the plastic and started applying it, and the edges didn't stick. I used the dry cloth to rub over the edges, but still they don't stick well. I took it off and reapplied it, but same thing. It is very thick so it looks like it will protect the screen, but it is noticeable.Customer Review: Ok... but not crystal clear
Summary: 3 Stars
It is thick. It will protect the screen. It does create a film that decreases my clarity by about 15%. I thought I was missing something so I removed the protective device and it was crystal clear. Put new protector on and clear, but not crystal. It'll do.
