This review is for the Curve8330

This is a great product!

It fits the screen perfectly and is great because it accomodates the trackball!

Also, if you have the hard plastic protective case (some people don't like those, but I love mine) the screen protector extends just under the case, and that is helpful because the screen is fully covered.

Now, I will say that it is tricky to put on... if you follow these tips, you won't fail:

1) make sure you are in a dust free environment. to have perfect application, you must abide by this.

2) your screen needs to be clean! Dust, grease, and fingerprint FREE!!!!! I didn't just use the screen cloth included in the package... I used the cloth, a dab of water on a paper towel and I also GENTLY rubbed the screen with a SOFT paper towel.

3) If you don't have good control of your hands, and feel that you might put it on crooked... get someone else to do it for you. I put one on crooked, and while the cover still did it's job, it just looked really silly. (And it was only a smidgen crooked)! So, if you can't do it, follow steps 1 and 2 and then get someone else to do it. :)

4) when you take the initial siding off, make sure to hold the piece of (very thin, very bendable) plastic GENTLY between your fingers! So that you are BARELY touching the edges.

5) for the other side of the plastic cover, follow tip 4.

6)make sure that when you put the cover on the screen that you do it lined up with the trackball evenly. that way you know that it is in the right spot.

I cannot stress enough the IMPORTANCE of a completely clean, dust, grease, and fingerprint FREE screen... I used a dab of water on a SOFT paper towel to wipe the screen clean, then a dry SOFT paper towel, then the cloth included in the package.

As you can see, this is a tricky process, but I still gave the product five stars. It's not the company's fault nor the Seller's if a person doesn't apply the product well. Now, I do think that the company should include detailed instructions, but the don't, so I did.

Also, when you think about it, if you have a nice phone, don't you want to be able to protect it? So, a little work is not a bad thing, especially when you buy these in the stores for $10.75, and I bought mine online for $2.99 (that was with shipping and everything).

I hope this was at least a little helpful! I bought a different kind, not right for my phone, and experienced all the issues above. Then I bought the right kind, and had no trouble at all with the correct covers. I got it right on the first try!!! :)

Good fit for my Curve but the instructions are about as clear as mud (obviously my Master's degree was not helpful in this situation though it wouldn't be the first time)! I understand why they sell these in three packs because that's how many times it takes before you finally get the installation right. The protector is rigid and I had little difficulty applying it once I got the hang of it. Good protector, rotten instructions.

My BB Curve screen was beginning to get scratched. I have a tendency to throw my BB into any pocket that might also have keys, coins, etc. Was skeptical of three protectors for such a cheap price, but figured I did not have much to lose.
I followed the directions on the package carefully and still could not figure out why there were so many air bubbles. Turns out the directions are pathetic and left out a key process. The screen has TWO protective sleeves and not just one, as in the directions.
I emailed Accessory Export and received a very, very prompt and thorough reply, with diagrams of the second protective sleeve.
Each package was also to include a plastic stick to evacuate air bubbles. None to be found. Reply from Accessory Export was, "Just use a credit card". Okay, the credit card solution worked fine - but could the directions possibly be more lacking?
I'm a happy camper now. These screens work very well and certainly worth the price.

The ad that I responded to - clearly showed 3 protectors. I only received ONE in the package.

The AD Showed an exact fit for the LCD Blackberry screen, NOT Just a square patch of plastic!!!

I would advise you to select carefully. There are other companies that will not RIP you off.

BEWARE

All three of mine had stickers attached to them, that are supposed to be used to help peel off the backing. Problem is, the stickers are on the upper left corner of the shields, as well as on the backing. It's impossible to remove the sticker from the shield without leaving a gummy residue on the shield. What's worse, in trying to scrape off the gummy residue, I got some of the gummy stuff on my Blackberry. If you don't mind having gummy residue on the top left corner of your screen protector, then these are fine, but otherwise, look for something better.

EDIT: After I wrote this, I figured out that there are TWO backings to each shield, one on the front and one on the back. I can't go back and change the number of stars, but it doesn't matter, because I still have gummy residue on my Blackberry that I can't remove, due to the inadequate instructions. Had the instructions been decent this would not have happened.

Product does not come with a sufficient amount of adhesive on protector. I install screen protectors on everything I own and the first step is making sure the screen is clean and lint free. I use a alcohol and water solution and also clean with a lint free cloth. The center portion of the protector seals good but you cannot do anything to keep the edges down which in turn collect lint and get caught in the phone case. Not pleased at all do not buy this product. Oh yeah, it's not the same as pictured either when I bought it, but they seem to have changed it now.

This is my first screen protector, and I'm very pleased with it.
Fits nicelly, it is thick (protects) and totally transparent.
You cannnot tell it is there.

This product is easy to use and keeps my screen clean & scratch free. Very in-expensive and worth the very small amount of money they cost.

Screen protector comes with a plastic piece to squeeze out air bubbles, but still cannot get a nice smooth fit.

This screen protector needed some modifications before it was able to be fitted onto the BB 8320. The length and width of the film are too long and need to be trimmed. One of the three pieces provided was sacrificed before correctly sizing the second piece which is now affixed to the screen.
