If you want me to answer anything specific about our product, just shoot me an email at custserv@boxwave.com. (But there are a ton of great reviews floating around, so that's a good bet as well and clearly not biased :p).
Take care,
Wing

Do a search on G2, Nushield, Boxwave, Brando, etc. There are lots of discussions. I posted a Boxwave - G2 comparison/impression here (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9684). The Nushield is similar to the G2 (now saying something like that always starts discussions:D. If you search/look for discussions on screen protectors, you'll also find those who don't like them.

The NuShield and G2 are almost identical. The biggest 2 differences are that the NuShield has a film that has to be removed before installation (pro- keeps the film 100% clean before installation, con- adds a step that almost guarantees fingerprints, and seems to increase static attraction to dust), and the cut/fit of the protectors.
G2s have to be 'snapped in' in a way that many people do not quite master, and often damage the protector in the process. Some users go so far as to open their PDA and tape the protector right to the screen (tried it, LOVED it!)
NuShields are shaped differnetly so the sides are easier to 'snap in', but the T665 shield is a bit too long. I thought the NuShield was also a it more likely to move in use. This means that it could theoretically 'grind' dust between the screen and shield, and that screeen taps are not quite as accurate.
NuShields are cheaper and both hold up about the same in real use, but I like G2s a bit better.
My G2 is scratched (I am SO glad it is the protector and not my screen that is scratched!) so I ordered some Boxwaves to replace it with. I'll review the Boxwave asap.

i got the nu sheild and i like it but instaliton was a bit tough because everytime i put it on there would be a hair or something under it that bugged the heck out of me. Now once i got it on because it floats on top of the screen little hairs can work there way under the screen which like i said really bugs me, next im gonna try the boxwaves.

I just replaced my Brando with G2, and I am not going back anywhere soon. The screen is soooooo much more clear, I almost forgot how it looked like without a protector. The digitizer is a tad more insensitive, but it is well within acceptable parameters.
I like to try the boxwave in the future though...
