[Q] PRIVACY screen protectors

---

used the search to no avail.

SOOOO, i was looking for a privacy screen protector for my captivate.

looked on amazon, ebay, some online vendors.

i ended buying one off of ebayer belldandychan and it did a good job of limiting the viewable angle of the screen BUT, a HUGE BUT, the damn thing was so thick that it rendered the capacitive touch USELESS. the touchscreen was 100% unresponsive with the protector applied.
after exchanging a few emails with the seller, i got my money refunded (spent around 5 USD total) and threw the protector in the trash.


so, if anyone has had any experience with a good privacy screen protector for captivates that doesn't nullify the touch interface of your phone..... let me know!!

also- cost doesn't really matter to me, although i expect to probably pay no more than 10 for a small sheet of plastic.

i'm a little bit shocked there wasn't already a thread about this in the captivate accessory forum. aren't privacy screen protectors pretty vital? i just think it would be reassuring to know i'm the only one who can see what's on my screen, whether it's private personal information, emails, sms. i don't even like it when people on the bus watch me play a game. it's just a little too intimate for me. then again, even riding the bus WITH STRANGERS, who are sometimes dangerous, smell bad, have lice, are sweating like shaq at the freethrow line, etc, is sometimes a little too intimate for me.

I can't vouch for the quality or the transmissibility of the light through the privacy screen - but Sammy sells their own 3 pack (clear, mirror, privacy) of screen protectors:

If you wind up purchasing, please post a review - I've been considering this for the privacy screen myself!

LOL I love how it costs $30 and in the only review for the product on the webpage the guys says Pros: Inexpensive.

Tsk. That's that fake employee review business…

Although currently backordered, Clarivue has a privacy screen protector.

I have their regular screen protector and love it, but I don't have any experience with the privacy version.

Go to any AT&T store and buy their screen protectors, they are the same as Samsung ones and cost $9.99

I see from samsung site that they have a separate screen protector called "scratch resistant"... well, since when did screen protectors giving being scratch protectants? Isn't it their basic job?

I need a privacy one not just regular finish.

And yes that is a bit redundant

NO ONE has used a privacy protector that didn't disable the touchscreen?

ANYONE?
