Screen Protectors - Treo Forums

CaseyGirl · 07-17-2006, 04:50 PM

I just bought the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal.

I'm not as satisfied as I thought I was going to be.

Has anyone used this product before?

More importantly, does anyone have any tips as to how to apply a screen protector in order for it not to have any bubbles?

Thanks!

Is there any backing that should be removed prior to applying to the Treo.

I have received the ClearTouch protector for the 700p myself and also very disappointed in it. It is worthless and I contacted support at Boxwave. I was extremely disappointed in their "attempts" to resolve the problem with bubbles, adhesive from the "remove" stickers stuck to the protector.

I will not ever order anything from BoxWave again.

BoxWave refuses to credit the credit card that was used to purchase this item.

The Boxwave Crystal protector is awesome once I learned how to get the bubbles out. At first I couldn't figure out why but once you remove the backing and apply it without attracting any dust it looks amazing. I had to re-apply it again by removing it and gettting some scotch tape (thanks Chris!) and gently pressing on the screen itself to remove any dusts that I may have missed while cleaing it.

That usually gets rid of all bubbles and you really have to have a steady hand to apply it on the screen to center it properly. Plus, my finger print in the corners frustrated the heck outta me so I had to wash it per instructions and that helped. Took me a couple of times but finally got it right and the bubbles do go away with the provided applicator. Sorry about the probs everyone is having but I was very persistent with it.

Also, I have the Crystal screen on my iPod video and it was easier to apply than the one for my 700p.
