Boxwave ClearTouch Screen Protectors

[denyed]

Sorry if I am repeating a previous post (couldn't find any) but this is a nice looking screen protector. As I am still waiting for my PDA in the mail, I am curious if anyone has had the chance to try it out. Here is a review of it:

plus here is the companys website that sells them:

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, I definitely want to stay away from scratching up my soon to be sexy T|E! :)

I've purchased and used Boxwave ClearTouch screen protectors on each of my last 3 PDA's. I swear by them - they're very good. I'm no reviewer, though, so I'll let someone a bit more eloquent elaborate. =)

In other forums, the cleartouch seems to be the one that everyone loves. There is also a lot of people that are very fond of the Brando screen protector. Compared to the one that PalmOne gives you in the box with the T|E, both the boxwave and the brando protectors are leaps and bounds ahead. Having used both of them, I can say that they were both just as difficult to apply, and both seem very durable (like they may last the life of my T|E). It seems to me that the boxwave protector is just slightly clearer than the brando one. I feel like the screen is brighter and sharper (though I have not done a side-by-side comparison).

Anyway, you really can't go wrong with the BoxWave ClearTouch. It's worth the money. Just watch out for dust when you are applying it (someone on Brighthand suggested turning on the shower in the bathroom for a few minutes to make steam, then letting the steam settle for a bit so that it brings the dust down, then applying your ClearTouch in the bathroom).

Good Luck!

Marsguy: Do you know any place to buy it in Canada? I really don't like to purchase from the US... unless it comes USPS (UPS can kill you)

I bought it direct from boxwave and they just sent it by regular mail. It took about a week from the date of the order (at x-mastime)

Unless you were denied a proper search because of a typographical error....You can look at the top of the page and click on SEARCH and then type in Boxwave and it should come up with about 7 past references for you to browse through for your research into this product.

iesrick: i guess ignornace is bliss sometimes... thanks for pointing it out, i never even looked, geez.

on another note, Boxwave will send whatever you order as a "gift" when purchasing from Canada. I think I like them! :) I will definitely be buying their screen protector.

btw, iesrick, you made a funny, i was "denyed" a proper search... har har :D

Boxwave is on my list of never to do business with again. They messed up my order and sent the wrong item, and then refused to correct the mistake unless I paid the additional shipping charge. Screw that! I swear by Javoedge or Brando (which are cheaper).

Interesting tales of customer service issues. I guess what I'm taking from this is that Boxwave has pretty good screen protectors, but you have to work pretty hard to get good customer service out of them if anything goes wrong, though good customer service will eventually occur.

My question today is, if the Boxwave screen protector is super-durable, washable and reusable, what is the point in buying a three-pack? How long do these things last before they need replacing? From the sounds of it, each one is good for a year or so.

I use my T3 fairly often, but I'm not writing novels using the stylus, so I don't consider myself a heavy user.

I'd appreciate any response to this question.

I purchased the 3-pack. Seeing I am from Manitoba/Winnipeg, we sort of have a "wholesale" mentality or whatever. I knew 2 other people who had a T|E so we split the pack. I am no heavy user either, but I love the protector, it looks like there is no protector on your screen. One thing you have to be very sure of is to get ALL the dust off your screen prior to install, use a compressed air container. And yes it is removable, I removed and replaced it many times till I had it just right, the protector is completely tight all around so it has to be put on perfect. No sweat with it being removable and all. I may be rambling, but I enjoy the product. It took weeks for me to receive my protectors from Boxwave, that's my only complaint... and I would call that minor.

Cheers!
