Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of BoxWave Palm TX ClearTouch Crystal Screen Protector (Single Pack)
Customer Review: This is the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried several other companies' screen protectors on my Tungsten, and this is the best so far. I was amazed at the crispness of the handwriting recognition (this was a suprise to me, because the plastic is thicker than other companies, but the recognition is better). The smooth surface allowed me to write relatively fast compared to the friction on some other screen protectors. Also, the stiffer plastic seems durable, i've used it for about 2 months now and there is no wear in tear in the writing area or elsewhere at all.
(Examples of some others I've tried:
PALM's screen protector is awful, aside from cutting the right size (a minor issue), the soft plastic creats a lot of friction when I try to write and slows me down, has poor character recognition, and the soft plastic over the grafitti writing area was totally scratched up afer a couple of weeks.
FELLOW's screen protector that I had 4 years ago was fantastic, but the one that I got a couple months ago was useless. After I stuck it to my pda's screen, the pda didn't recognize ANY of my attempts to try to write or press the screen buttons. At first I thought my pda had froze, but afer several times resetting/re-installing my pda software, I realized it's the stupid fellowesscreen protector that rendered my pda useless. I already told Fellowes about this problem, so hopefully future versions of their product will be better)
Customer Review: fantastic piece of kit
Summary: 5 Stars
this is my 2nd try at a screen protector for my palm tx. i tried the palm screen protector that came with my pda, but that was awful. this one, is better in every way.
first, this isn't a film, but more like a thin piece of plastic. the closest thing i could describe it as, is a thick transparency paper with a side that has the adhesion characteristics of a post it note. the added rigidity makes it fairly easy to lay down onto the pda screen. i was thrown off by this at first. the protector was protected on both sides with a thin film. at first i thought that one of the thin films was the screen protector! i guess that comes from my experiences with fellows and palm screen protectors.
the rigidity also makes it washable. i washed mine two or three times in my quest to get a perfect dust free application. something you can't do with other screen protectors. a side effect the rigidity has, is that any water droplets trapped underneath the protector are slowly squeezed out to the sides over time. amazing.
no tapping problems of any kind with this applied to the touchscreen as well. the "crystal screen" is quite transparent with no texture or finish to the surface to scatter light. the protector came well packaged with an applicator tool (small laminated cardboard card) and a small swatch of microfiber.
highly recommended stuff.
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
[This is a replacement review for a previous one, dated 27 Feb 2007. I unintentinally changed the star rating from 5 to 1, and didn't realize it until it was too late to change it. I know, it made no sense: "Great product! 1 star!"]
One of the reviewers graded this product way down, based on cost of shipping. Good warning for other buyers, but not entirely fair to the product itself.
I bought this screen protector based on other product reviews, and I'm glad I did. The Palm T|X screen appears to be a bit fragile (at least that's how it seems to me). The ClearTouch Crystal Screen Protector retains the sensitivity -- as far as I can tell so far -- but appears to provide a much more resistant writing/tapping surface. [Aug 2007: Continues to provide both sensitivity AND protection.]
From the product descriptions, I wondered if it would be tricky to install. It's NOT. Goes on like a charm. Do clean the original screen carefully first, and use compressed-gas duster to get the last dust particles off. Otherwise, a breeze to install.
Customer Review: PERFECT!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, I thought this product was ridiculously expensive for a sheet of plastic. Then I read the reviews and was impressed. Finally, I attempted to place the included screen protector that came with my TX and had to rip it off moments later (high friction, tons of bubbling, arghh!!!!).
Application is critical. Take your time, make sure the screen is clean and dust free (compressed air is your friend). Place this protector down to fit two sides and trust that it is sized perfectly. You want the middle to contact first. Then work the included applicator card to squeeze out any bubbles out the side.
As previous reviews mentioned, this is the screen protector to get! It's surface is slick making it easy to pen. Sensitivity is maintained and it appears to be very durable. I think ordering just one is all you will ever need.
Customer Review: Expensive, but works very well
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a screen break and had to send it off for repairs. Because of this the one protector that came with my TX had to come off. I decided to replace it with this one, mostly due to the bad revues some competitors had. I have to say, this is much better than the palm freebie ever was. It is very hard to tell it is there at all, and the handwriting recognition works MUCH better with this brand. The shipping on this is only a few dollars, so they seem to have resolved any past issues some reviewers had.
Boxwave was very prompt in shipping the overlay.
Definitely a nice screen overlay, though costly.
