Hmph! Never had trouble with screen scratches before...

[Sneezy]

I must have about five vertical and linear scratches on my TG50 screen. This surprises me, because after a T665 and an NR70V, I have never seen a scratch on my clies. I even kept the 665 in my back pocket! I would have thought that the hardcover would have eliminated any possibility of scratches. Maybe lint and such is collecting behind the cover??? I guess I don't really notice them unless the screen is off, thankfully, but I was just surprised.

I had the same problems, but then they kinda disappeared somehow...

Just give it time and a soft lcd polishing cloth.

All it takes is a small particle under the tip of your stylus to cause damage. A screen protector is worthwhile. Personally, I use one until it becomes unbearable to view. Then, I just peel it off and apply another. Back in business. I work in an environment that is full of paper dust. Ever since I scratched up the screen on my Palm Professional, I have used a screen protector. Let's hope you can keep your screen scratch-free.

Well, okay, I'll slap on a screen protector. Never felt the need to use one before, and as such I've never shopped for one. So what brand do you guys recommend? Thanks for any info.

try to search the site...there is plenty of those thread

I use the Brando brand.   Lasts long, looks great, less glare.

Thanks boomer! I appreciate helpful replies.

Am I taking this too personal? I feel like I haven't been helpful......

Anyway...to be helpful, I just use some discounted screen protector from ConceptKitchen. This is originally for PPC...just it have been discounted, then i decided to buy it, cut the sheet into appropiate size for my TG50, the stick on it...

FYI, the screen size is 5.4mm x 5.4mm......

Hope this is helpful.

(But i insist searching the forum, you would be surprised how many threads is on screen protector :D)

Hey Wil,

I guess I may have been trying to give you a lil' passive-agressive stab-wound there! ;)

Sorry, I guess I have always felt it annoying to have someone say "go do a search," and I never tell someone this even if the question has been asked a dozen times. True, there may be a dozen threads out there, but if I've read all twelve threads on the subject, couldn't I just give you the synopsis with one quick reply so that you don't have to search all 12 threads?

Thanks for the advice, though! I will either go Brando per boomer or find the cheapest one out there and cut it per your dimensions. I handn't quite thought about your suggestion, and I'm glad you brought it up.

BTW, I will indeed search the forum, I'm just on my GF's computer using a 56k modem running at a whopping 26K right now--Not optimal for searching :(

Thanks again

P.S. You may want to return your TG50, 5.4mm by 5.4mm is a terribly small screen, I think you got jipped :D

[wilsonch_98]

Sneezy, now i understand your feeling...

about 56K@26K, i think I am always at the connection quality...(in fact I am having this right now...not that lucky to have ADSL here...US$150 setup fee, $40/month for 256K....even with d/l limit :()

About returning the TG, I don't think I will. I can still remember the first time I actually said: "Oh my God! It is so stylish" Bear in mind that my mother toung is not English, that would describe the "Woooah" factor.....

[Sneezy]

Hey wil, I didn't realize you were from Sydney!

As far as connection speed goes, I'm playing on my girlfriend's computer now, but I do have a cable modem back at my place. :) It's also $40 per month (but right now I'm on a $20 per month deal for a few months). Your connection fee there is outrageous...$150...eeeeek!

I was joking about returning your TG50 due to its small screen. I think you meant to say 5.4 cm by 5.4 cm, not millimeters! That would indeed be a small screen--one I'd certainly return!

BTW, your English is excellent, I didn't realize it wasn't your native language as you write very fluently.

Hey Fireman....sorry to take this off topic, but I was wondering, you work in a place with a lot of paper dust yet your nick is fireman and your avatar says fire...I'm missing something here...

[wilsonch_98]

who knows...maybe he is a administrative fireman :)
