I applied the screen protector and the install process was great - they really made it easy with the tabs and film protecting everything. A very well packaged and user-friendly product. My issue is with the fitment, and although I still use it, I wish it was better. The screen of the Pearl is not flat, and the hard plastic used does not contour to the screen. The edges on the left and right sides have about 1/32"-1/16" airspace under the edges, and around the track ball there is even more. This product applied easily, and serves the purpose, but it does not look as clean as I had hoped. Considering its functionality, I will continue using it until I find a better product.

I agree instructions were very clear. This is a very high quality polymer film. The actual film comes sandwiched by two protective films that have stickers tabs to peel off prior to applying. That means that the actual screen protector is not exposed to dust or elements until application. Peel off screen side of film, apply to blackberry skin. Then peel off the surface side film. I'm sticking with the Insten branded films, they tend to be licensed off a patented version.

Sounds like the previous reviewer did not apply the protector correctly, even though the instructions were very clear. The stickers do NOT touch the actual screen protector that goes on the phone, but instead are used to remove the protective backing that is on both sides of the protective film.

Looks great, can't tell it's there!

that shmuck who gave it 1 star is writing a review for the wrong product. READ***THIS SCREEN PROTECTOR IS NOT A STICKER**.. it s is a film that is silicon based, SILICON IS NOT AN ADHESIVE.. it works great,it is thick, not niticible , and goes on perfectly. I have had my phone replaced so i took it off, washed it with soap, and put it back on with a breeze. MUST BUY for your pearl. doesnt scratch either.

I have gone back and read the other customer reviews, and therefore will contend that perhaps this was "user error." BUT, for the record, I am an educated, mechanically inclined professional, and my screen protector went straight from package to phone to garbage! So, I am not so sure that I would say that applying this is without issue for everyone. I would recommend buying more than one so you don't potentially end up like me, still with an unprotected screen and out my penny + shipping!

Thought I would try the cover, as I was buying some related things. It really is not a "robust" design, as it was pulling up in the corners rather quickly. Perhaps some trimming would help, but I doubt it. I have no ill feelings towards the product....you get what you pay for though.

Fits the 8130 just fine. wonderful optical quality, easy to install - but take the time to align it properly (both vertically & horizontally) great service and shipping. I plan to buy another!

I highly recommend this for using with blackberry silicone case. It is very easy to use and covers the screen perfectly.

I'm not too fond of this screen protector. It certainly covers the whole front of the display, but because the Blackberry front has a slight curve, it doesn't fit well. The edges curl up.

So - I grabbed some sharp scissors and cut down the protector so that it fits just the actual display area. The protector fits much better now and only curls up on the edges slightly.

It does the job, but looks like there's a piece of plastic stuck on the front. I used to have a protector that was of the same type - silicon - but it fit a lot better. Basically, it was a smaller size. I'd suggest if you need a protector, get one of the smaller ones.

I have used this brand of screen protector before, and they work well. They are both tough and removable and leave behind no trace once removed. The only problem with using this protector with the Pearl is that the Pearl screen is slightly curved near the earphone and around the trackball. Since the protector is quite stiff, it doesn't sit flush with the screen in those two places. The protector still protects the screen just fine, but there are slight gaps. If you just want protection, this is a fine product. If you are a stickler about slight imperfections in the appearance of your BB, you might want to go with another solution.
