Default Screen Cover micro Review

I recently purchased a packet of mybat-branded fitted screen covers for the Cricket Zio, part CRKM6000LCDSCPRTW. It appears to be a decent fit. Light sensor, LED and earpiece cutouts are within 0.5mm tolerance. Soft buttons are covered, does not overlap the hard buttons or trackball recess.

Now to see how it holds up. Or not. It may well be good, but my caffeine-addled hands cannot get it to go on straight, before the sticky gets covered in lint.

Ive got ghost armor on my screen. Gonna have the rest done later this week. Free replacement armor since it is covered in the price.

my soft keys are covered same as yours.

here is what I used for mine... looks to be the same stuff as the ghost shields for ALOT less

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Pack-S-Shieldz...item230b0874c7

they also have a full body kit
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Pack-Sanyo-ZIO...item230b17b6ae

but I use a tight form fitted plastic case so.....

first time I had tried to use that type of screen protector on a different phone I didnt have as much luck.... same type of protector but when I squeegeed it down I think I pressed to hard and caused it to orange peel on the surface... it worked great to protect but just didnt look that good.....

this time though on the Zio it went down smooth as can be and more or less looks like its not even there.... only place you can really tell is where its cut to go around the trackball and hard keys... and for the price I am SUPER happy with it..... no scratches (even with a diamond earing that is KNOWN to destroy phone screens) and I personaly feel it adds a bit of smoothness to the screen when your touching/sliding things around on it.... for 4 bucks I aint complaining!

I wish they made a clear super thin plastic case that enclosed it 100%. Would be great for people in the trades industry. They wouldn't have to worry about gumming up their phones

They do the sides and back aswell ad top and bottom. At that point the only thing hurting your phone is being run over, dropped from a decent 10+ feet, water, and yourself.

I got tired of the hard case, and decided to carry my phone naked. Heck, first day having nothing on it, I got scuffs! I realized I should have applied some NuFinish car wax on my handheld prior to going naked, but I didn't. O well...I decided to purchase this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Why have a thin light device, if you have to make it bigger?

Have you noticed how big the Huawei Ascend with full body armor? That thing is about as big as a bible!

I got the full body version a couple months ago. seems to hold up well. Decent fit although i had to trim around the earpeice, as well as cut a hole for the back cover button ). II think theirs are lifetime warranty as well

I would have agreed with you three days ago, but I've carried my ZIO naked for a year and a half, and it's fared pretty well for being in a desert. Anyway, I hit up T-Mobile (I own a cricKet ZIO) for a screen protector only they give out, and for fifteen dollars, I'd give my full seal of approval. Straight up. It improves screen smoothness by 60%, and protects 90% as well as Zagg Invisible Shields for 25% less.
