Screen protectors

---

So just picked one of these fellas for £115! (rude not to :P ) and one of the first things I am going to need is to protect it, anyone got any ideas where in the UK these might be found?

O_O where u got it for that money ??

OT try ebay...

Yup, go on ebay. The cheap ones are just that! CHEAP! Scratch very easily etc.

What you need is the 3M Vikuiti screen protectors, expensive yes but these screen protectors last ALOT longer and generally are alot better. I have had one on my old phone for nearly two years and it's still fine!

Martin Fields is one of the best (and the first who made a screen protector for our device)

Someone on a local forum had one for sale, and what with the current £150 pricetag on them it made for a nice bit of haggling

Cheers, bit more than I expected to pay tbh with iPhone etc getting em at 3 quid, damn apple crap (actually I liked the phone but it lasted less than a week, so limiting after owning PocketPCs for years)

3M are not some fly by night company. Very well respected all over the world.

Also on ebay, each protector is £8. If anything, I bet Martin Fields use 3M vikuiti films anyway lol

The Folix screen protectors and excellent, and very cheap from Amazon :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/FX-CLEAR-scr.../dp/B002Y35E9I - Glossy look, like an iPhone screen, gets instantly covered in finger grease

http://www.amazon.co.uk/FX-ANTIREFLE.../dp/B002Y2P43K - Matte look, like a none-glossy-LCD, doesn't attract finger-grease

I've got the matte one on my TG01 and it's excellent. They're very (very !) similar to the Brando units, and come complete with a cleaning cloth.

Cheers for the links, but I don't think ya can beat the deal posted in the cases thread for 3 cases and screen protectors for £8!

You get what you pay for - don't expect the bargain-basement screen protectors to match the branded items

I was the person who posted about the 3 cases plus 3 protectors for £8.

I haven't had any experience of the very expensive (some are over £12 each) screen protectors, but I struggle very hard to think of a way in which they could be better than the cheaper ones.

After all, we are just talking about a piece of thin transparent electrostatic plastic film. My cheap ones are a perfect fit for the TG01 (including the cut-outs); they were supplied with protective film front and back; they each came with a small microfibre cleaning cloth. They are totally unobtrusive in use (it doesn't affect screen taps, and I use a stylus for most of my text entry, using Letter Recogniser, with no problems). They also last very well (based on my experience using similar cheap protectors on my previous phones).

I do wonder whether there is some self justification involved in believing that because you paid a lot of money for something, it therefore has to be better than a cheaper one, rather than just marketing hype.
