Hi,

Hi Guys.... just got myself an M5000 after telling Orange that they either upgrade me for free or Im leaving them! :)

Im looking for a good screen protector and have read on the forum that these are quite good. I had a crappy one on my XDAII and am looking to get a good one for my Universal.

Which of the following two would you get and why?

Anti-Glare

Crystal Clear

On this site they go over the differences:

I want to know if you guys have tried these and know how much screen brightness you lose with the anti-glare version.... and which would be better.

thanks

I read somewhere that the ClearGaurd XP was the best screen protector, they had images too. I don't remember the link though. Because of that I bought a ClearGaurd XP screen protector, it should be here in a few days. The cool thing about them is that they are re-usable and washable.....
I got mine on eBay for 9 bucks

I have used both, and it is truly hard to choose.
Right now I am using the crystal clear. I miss the pencil-on-paper feel of the antiglare, but I don't miss the matted colours of the display.

On the other hand *my* crystal clear looks like sh*t because I am a complete klutz when it comes to installing these things. If you can follow a set of simple instructions and manage to not drop it on the carpet while trying to install it, the crystal just looks great. When you install it like I did, it looks like crap because every single piece of dirt under the thing shows in the glare. The antiglare is much more forgiving for idiot installers.

then there is the time I was installing a cpu on a motherboard, but that's a whole different story

I had the anti-glare version of WriteShield on my previous phone SE P900i - it was aweful!

I now have a crystal clear one on my Exec and it is much better visibility. This time I didn't buy WriteShield because the only version available at the time was way over the top pricewise. I suggest you shop around - I got mine for about 14 squids. I think the name was something like Martin.
