Default Antiglare Screen Protector and Stylus

So as many of you may have noticed during your uses with the nook in either bright lighting, in the car, or straight up outside (to cold for that here), the glare on the screen can get quite bad. So i was looking online for a decent antiglare for the NT or NC and i stumbled across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...b_lfb_prodpg_0

A cheap, 2 pack with stylus, antiglare screen protectors. Now im not going to claim its the best one on the market, but if your looking for a cheap one, then go with this. It has been working very good on my NT, and it makes the screen feel silky smooth, not to mention severely reduces the nasty grease lines from my fingers.

Also, the stylus was actually surprisingly good. I've used numerous ones (cheap ones, for sure, but still multiple) styluses and this is easily the best one I've found. Nice and solid with a reactive tip that doesn't grip the screen or seem like it will fall off.

I can second this I actually purchased the same thing like a week ago. I love my protector its real nice and the stylus is pretty good. A little too sensitive with the app drawer (it likes to open apps when trying to turn the app pages) but other than that its perfect!

Just received this today and I must concur...a quality screen protector and stylus! I purchased my wife the Caseen case also and we've been really happy with it as well.

I purchased the official B&N anti-glare screen protector for $20 (eek!). I got it mainly because my daughter somehow manages to get food and who-knows-what-else on the screen. B&N says not to use moisture when cleaning the screen, but that's the only way to get the crud off. So, I got the B&N protector.

Anyway, despite comments online about people destroying both sheets in the process of installing them, I installed mine without any problems. First I made sure the screen was completely clean with absolutely no dust on it. Then I peeled back just an inch or so of the removable film, pushed the top edge of the sheet to where the case meets the screen, then slowly peeled back more as I pushed the sheet onto the screen, by bending the sheet as I worked my way down the screen. No air bubbles. No dust. No dirt. It's perfect and it looks like it will last forever.

I've got the glareshatter screen protector, its fantastic. That metal stylus is fantastic too. Do yourself a favor and hit up your local auto parts store and pick up a microfiber cloth, keep it on hand for cleaning. Also a little white vinegar on the microfiber does the job nicely.

I bought the Import version of the Caseen Glareshatter for under $10 on ebay. Never owned the Caseen's standard protector, so I can't compare.
This is what I like:
  • Easy to install - it's about 2mm narrower than the screen
  • The feel is about perfect
  • Glare is definitely reduced though you still have to compensate when it's extreme
  • The fingerprints are there but only vivilbe from an angle with the screen off. They don't affect the visibility with the screen on.

Thing I don't like:
Makes the screen darker which is especially noticeable on the white background. I had to increase the brightness about 10% to compensate for it.

Only had for a couple of days but I am very happy so far.

Any idea where to get those in Europe? I could only find shops in the US carrying them (on ****ingly high shipping rates).

I trusted you guys and got the Glareshatter screen protectors. They really make a huge difference. Installation is really easy, just be sure to clean the screen first.

so is this glareshatter version truly the best then?

Just alittle weary on how it effects the clarity. Since some of those amazon reviews mention it.
