Product Description

Ready. Set. Innovate

Unlike other screen protectors, which use basic textured surfaces to reduce glare, our award winning ClearTouch Anti-Glare relies on an innovative blend of materials integrated into high-grade thermoplastic.

This innovative approach allows you to:

Go Farther:
Recycling, meet innovation. We call it the Renovation Revolution. Rinsing under warm water refreshes and restores your ClearTouch, removing dust in the process. Go forth then; expecting ClearTouch to last for the lifetime of your device, you have our blessing. Heartache averted.

Do More:
More of what you love, less of what you don't. Bye bye dust and fingerprints. Hello increased touchpad accuracy and recognition. As well, each device specific ClearTouch is cut to a tolerance of only 0.1mm. This extreme engineering precision ensures you don't get more or less than you bargained for.

See Beyond:
In with the new and out with the old. 90% of UV glare? Gone! Readability in direct sunlight? Here to stay!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anti Glare Screen Protector, August 27, 2009

Well its pretty good, I was just thinking the screen wasn't going to be leveled with the camera itself. You can cover the whole screen and part of the camera on the back, which is what I should have done, or you can precisely cut the protector to fit inside. If you do plan on fitting it inside, try to be as accurate in the measurements as possible. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who will be putting the SD780IS canon through some wear and tear, and still want it to be good.

Just purchased a Canon Digital Elph 1200IS (from Amazon) and was hoping this protector would fit the screen, since the screen is also a 2.5 inch LED.
In the package itself is a cleaning cloth, a cardboard "bubble smoother" and a screen protector. The screen protector looked very small and I had my doubts.
Following the precise instructions (with some trial and error), the proctector fit perfectly with minimal distortion. It is even possible to remove
the protector from the camera and clean it when needed.
The small package arrived in an envelope through the mail in just two days.
Please remember, there is only one screen protector, so attempt to not drop it on the rug, like I did. This caused rug fibers to attach to the "sticky"
side and I could not remove all of them. :-(

Great product; fast shipping
Dropping protector on floor: Not too bright

This review is for the SD780 BoxWave ClearTouch screen protector with the sticker "Suitable for BWCT-DC1155" on the package. If you're like me, you're probably comparing this Boxwave ClearTouch screen protector to the Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector. Hopefully this review will help you make a decision between these two choices.

I've used the Zagg Invisible Shield for a couple of products and I have to say that the materials are superior to what Boxwave uses. The biggest difference to me is the transparency of the material. Screen protectors should be as transparent as possible, it would be best if they seemed to be invisible... The ClearTouch protector has more of a "matted" semi-transparent look to it. This does make the protector "Anti-Glare" properties, which may appeal to you. Here's my quick rundown of a comparison between the ClearTouch and Invisible Shield:

Zagg Invisible Shield:
- These things are hard to install. You have to moisten them and keep them wet while you slide the protector over a device. It took me about an hour to install the Invisible Shield on my Ipod. Once you install it you have to wait about 24 hours for it to dry!
- Compared to the ClearTouch, it is crystal clear.
- Costs TWICE as much as a ClearTouch

Boxwave ClearTouch:
- Much easier to install than an Invisible Shield. You don't have to wet the protector and slide it all over the place. Instant installation.
- Has a "matted" look to it. It is not fully transparent. This does make it glare resistant.
- HALF the cost of an Invisible Shield.

Bottom line, both products will protect your screen from scratches. To me the Invisible Shield looks much better because it is much more transparent, nearly invisible. The ClearTouch has a matted semitransparent look to it that reduces glare. If you pay twice as much for the Invisible Shield, you will get a clearer screen.

NOTE: the ClearTouch was not perfectly cut to fit the SD780IS screen. There is a millimeter of exposed screen along 2 sides of the protector, about 4% of screen surface area is exposed. If I centered it perfectly, then there would be a half a millimeter of exposed screen around the protector on all 4 sides. I doubt that millimeter of exposed screen will get scratched, but when you pay more than $5 for a tiny piece of plastic it better fit. I can't say how well the Invisible Shield is cut for the SD780IS, but I will tell you that it's not perfect for the ClearTouch.
