Default Strange request: Screen protector to reduce senstivity and preferably anti glare

I'm looking for a screen protector that will reduce sensitivity. I'm not sure I like capacitive screens... With my previous Touch HD I can use anything with pin sharp accuracy.
I can't be happier!

I attached FOLIX-Screen protector antireflective (sorry, canīt post external links as Junior member). Bought it from Amazon GER.

Attaches easy and perfectly, no air-bubbles, gives a much better haptic response and reduces mistyping and best of all: NOW I can fully use it in direct sunlight as Navi-System on my ultralight-gyroplane.

Together with the tweaks and progs from the xperts in this forum (You are absolutely great guys !) it spared me to buy a new mini-notebook for the go.

Wouldnīt know how to live and navigate w/o HD 2 any more

I got a set of three off eBay for Ģ3. They reduce glare because they have a satin texture, and reduce sensitivity (probably because of their cheapness!) but in this instance it's a great advantage.
My keyboard has almost COMPLETELY stopped going crazy outdoors and is now very usable. No tweaks needed. It fits well at the top but bevels off level with the middle of the keys rather than being cut out. This isn't really a problem for me though.

If you want the eBay link I can pass it on. The brand is E-cell.

Thanks for the help people.

I ended up buying the cheapo anti glare protector from e-cell. I'll let you know how it went once received.
I can't be happier!

LOL I went around and bought from 10 different suppliers on ebay their antiglare screen protectors.

I've the e-cell ones too. personally don't think it's very good. it's very thin and it scratches relatively easily. dents easily IMHO.

Of all those I received, I prefer the ones from amor_istores.

I don't like some of the others coz they don't have a curve at the bottom. Not very comfortable with them since others provide "more" protection.

AVOID the ones from hello.6670 : They're not anti-glare at all, but they're fantastic clear screen protectors, looks as if you don't have a screen protector. I emailed wanting to change for something that's really anti-glare, but the seller's pretty rude, and I've actually opened a dispute with them.

I saw last week a shop selling the invisibleshield for the HD2 and a note that says it reduces sensitivity so need to press extra hard... was a bit too expensive for me.

Hope this helps.

Oh yes just a note. Some of the screen protectors I've tried cause my screen sensitivity to be totally off... you know there's a thread talking about screwed up screen sensitivities, where there are ghost taps, inaccuracies etc? Yes, That definitely happens for me with the invisibleshield, some of the mirror screen protectors.
of course, your experiences may vary. I wouldn't have pinned it down to the screen protectors if I didn't start off with a super good one, with no problems, and problems starting only with some of the other screen protectors and gone once I removed them.
