Screen Protectors

[cbenn126]

Anyone know where or even if they make screen protectors that are already cut to fit the Treo 650 screens. I ordered the ones directly from Palm and they are a generic screen protector that I have to cut to fit the Treo and I can never get a good cut and it looks horrible. Please help.

The Everything Treo Store sells screen protectors made just for the Treo 650/600. No cutting involved.

There are many available from various manufacturers. Do you have an idea of what kind of screen protector that you would like? There are basically 2 different kinds.

1. Static cling - Smartphone Experts, BoxWave, JAVOedge, Brando Workshop, Martin Fields, ARM Kit
2. Under edge of screen - G3, NuShield

I have tried many different screen protectors for my various Palms, an in my opinion the best are the Brando Workshop Ultra Clear screen protectors. Very scratch resistant, you can typically use each for a year or two. They are easy to install and don't decrease the clarity of the screen. It takes 1 week to arrive from Hong Kong, but definitely worth the wait.

I've used all sorts of screen protectors of all designs. I've come up with some criteria for me to use it:
1. Pre-cut
2. Easy to apply (for me, under-the-edge-of-the-screen designs don't pass this test)
3. No air bubbles
4. No post-application movement (again, under-the-edge-of-the-screen are out)
5. Long-lasting
6. Remain attractive (i.e. no fingerprints or, with a Treo, cheekprints)
(7. Cleanable & reusable)
The only protector I'll ever use from now on is the Boxwave Clear Touch. It's stiff enough to lay right on the screen with not a single bubble, but supple enough so that writing/tapping is unaffected. I tried the Clear Touch Anti-Glare & the Clear Touch Crystal. The Crystal is too glossy & print-prone, imho. I'm sure the Brando is fine, but I'd rather not fool with a second film to have to peel off (which sometimes doesn't).

Good thread!

You might also try www.proporta.com. They have a great washable screen protector. I have on on my Treo 650, Tungsten C, and BlackBerry. Great screen protector IMHO. Tommy

There are some decent screen protectors (I have this kind for my Zire72) from PPC4You (http://www.ppc4you.com/pages/12536.html) at a decent price (unless you don't like a textured side for Graffiti) and quite durable.

I had trouble installing it though...still have some dust trapped under the screen protector

I am using Exim SPUC for my Treo 650 now. It is a pre-cut one, so it really provides strong protection for the screen from daily scratches. The screen looks very smooth and clear even after applying the protector. (http://stores.ebay.com/PDA-Now-EXiM-STORE)
