Customer Review: I bought this for my T|X....
Summary: 4 Stars
I chose this product over the $12.95 boxwave protector, because I am a cheapskate (and proud of it). I have not tried other screen protectors, so I am basing my review totally on my experience with them alone for my T|X. I am totally happy with my purchase and do not regret purchasing them, but the saying, you get what you paid for definitely applies here somewhat when it comes to ease of application. Let me list things to consider.
1. They are not easy to apply as one reviewer stated, because if you think 'easy' means done in less than one minute and mistakes can be corrected then it's not easy. I messed up my first one :p, so I had my husband who has more patience and good with his hands to do the next one. BUT, I believe I would have been able to successfully apply it on my second try after learning what not to do. Be very careful about dust, hairs, etc. - that's what messed up my first try.
2. Yes, listen to the reviewer that said follow the directions - peel off little at a time and use the card that's included. You're lucky if you got zero bubbles, but if you get small little ones, don't fret. After my husband applied the protector for me, there was still two little bubbles bothering the hell out of me. I use the cloth included with the package to gently smooth it out. It did get smaller, but didn't completely disappear. I gave up and was satisfied with the results anyway. I left it overnight and used it the next morning, the bubbles were gone. I guess it settles a bit after awhile, but I would guess it depends on the size of your air bubbles.
3. Don't buy them if you don't have sharp scissors or the patience to cut them. I wouldn't recommend cutting them exactly so it fits the screen without the edges showing. It makes it harder to peel off and having little extra space gives you some leeway for mistakes. The template for the T|X was perfect for me. If people read the description before purchasing, they knew they had to cut them to size. So, it's ridiculous to complain about having to cut them.
FYI, I thought the reviewer Bob Manson was most helpful and accurate :) Bottom line - I'm only rating them 4 stars, because of the difficulty I had in applying them :P But, perhaps, the price makes up for it. Remember - patience and steadiness - if you don't have them, don't purchase these protectors.
Customer Review: Keep your screen looking brand new
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this screen protector better than some others I've used. It can be cut to different sizes, which is nice; because they are large, and I can use them for more than just my Palm. I've used them to protect my various size Palms and my cell phone and my child's Didj (something like a Leapster).
Applying is easy. Just cut to size, peel off one edge and press with the included card as you apply. Don't press too hard or you will get scratches on the protector and have to start over. If you get bubbles, pull up until the bubbles are off and reapply from there.
My last Palm's screen, which I had for a couple of years, was in pristine condition after heavy duty use. I pulled off the screen protector to sell it and it looked like new.
If I look for the screen protector on the screen of my Palm, I could definitely see it's there. But during normal use, I don't even think about it. It becomes a part of the screen.
Definitely a must have for Palm owners. The larger cut to size protector is versatile, easy to use, blends right in and works!
Customer Review: Good, nice and cheap
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this with a Palm TX and am very happy with the results.
Pros:
It does protect the device screen and I don't see a big difference regarding the brightness.
It's very cheap.
Cons:
Cutting the protector to the right size and applying it correctly is kinda hard and time consuming. I would recommend to do it when you are bored and have nothing to do.
I'd also recommend to disable the password protection if enabled, before applying the protector. It has happened to me that the calibration gets messed up and it's very painful to enter the password to access the device.
Customer Review: Nice price, difficult to apply but good once it's on
Summary: 4 Stars
As some previous reviewers have noted, the size when cut might be slightly smaller than your screen, for my TX it was 0.5-1 mm. However, unless you actually intend to write in the outer 0.5 mm of the screen you will hardly notice it.
The application is as difficult as it gets. My tip is to use a credit card, or similar, as help. Apply it at one edge, and then use the card sliding over the screen protector as you apply it, in order to remove any bubbles.
The feel is great when writing on it.
Customer Review: Mmmm Good but no so good
Summary: 4 Stars
It comes with 14 screen protectors for all Palm products. It is very good for protecting your screen, but you need to cut it. When you paste there's always some imperefections due to alignment or air-bubbles. It is good, but if you like perfection, you need to be careful
