Yummi Guest Posts: n/a	Choosing a Screen Protector Is there a way to know how clear the protector will be before you buy it or will I have to make the purchase, try it, and if it doesnt look clear enough take it back? If you have any suggestions, that would be great. My SJ30 thanks you

Washable, nice and sticky, feels great under the stylus, no ridges. Just make sure you apply it in a dust-free area, or the backside will be full of dust/lint before you even get it on. Berto

Berto - Can you compare to any others? I have the Brando now.

I'm basing my comparisons on the gripes that people had with other brands. All I can say is that I'm as picky as they come and this screen protector passed my tests, if that means anything to anyone....
