Default I Found It! The PERFECT screen protector

The best part is you all have one!

just get a dab of acetone and rub off the txt while driving text on the screen overlay that comes with the phone

it covers the phone exactly, is of heavy material, and if you clean it with some iKlear (or similar) it has a nice original glass feel

Is it as smooth or close to the actual glass of the screen?

For many people, the AT&T person ripped it off way before they got it.

i used that for a week or so but it still attracted a lot of fingerprints. plus if you hold the phone at an angle you can still see the outline of the text. i bought a $5 full body skin from ebay and it works great.

it sucks if they got rid of it, but it covers it edge to edge, and did you use acetone or nail polish remover?

while npr is technically acetone, it is heavily diluted. acetone you'd get at wally world or a paint shop (it's like 3-5 bucks) will completely remove it, no streaks or remnants (be a little liberal with the amount of acetone on the cloth)

I used iKlear after i dried off the acetone to give it a nice shine and feel. I did this all without even taking the thing off the phone. acetone is safe enough to not remove the clearcoated finish of the phone should it spill over.

YMMV but it seems like the best deal because it is free

I left mine on as well.

I ended up scraping it off with a rag, i can still see the remnants as well.

perhaps ill give it a good clean.

good for a little chuckle...

Seriously though.. GREAT idea... I wish I would have been the one who thought of it. Mine still had it on too. I ended up using gadget guard full skin to get me to this point and will probably leave it on when I can get a good TPU case for it. I think Amzer is shipping theirs out tomorrow.
