I have a BB Curve 8530, and this protector fit perfectly. A couple of things to note before purchasing:

- I received 5 screen protectors instead of the 3 advertised (a very good deal!)
- They were not packaged particularly well - just folded inside the packing slip, in a regular envelope. However, they all arrived in good condition and undamaged, so I can't complain. I just expected them to be in some sort of actual factory sealed packaging.
- The protectors I received are not quite the same as the ones in the picture. They have a cut out at the top for the speaker, but otherwise cover the entire black part, and the light, on the top part of the phone. They don't cover any of the buttons; the bottom is straight across, and the bottom edge is just a fraction of an inch above the frame of the trackpad (I think it fits perfectly).
- These are NOT fancy, hard plastic, mirrored, "privacy," adhesive backed, or any other type of screen protector - they are basically just clear window clings. They're soft, flexible, and do not have any adhesive. They come with some sort of backing, but I found it relatively easy to separate the screen protector from the backing, starting with one corner, and smoothing it down over the BB screen as I removed it from the backing. As some people have said, this is a tight fit, so you have to be careful to start in a top corner, and line up both edges as you go. There were a couple of bubbles, but I was able to rub them all out with my fingernail without damaging the protector. I actually lifted up a corner after I had it all the way down to smooth out bubbles, and was able to lift and replace with no problem.

I know there are a lot of mixed reviews on this product, and I agree that it's definitely hard to tell what you're getting from the photos and description provided. However, if you just want a basic screen protector so your screen doesn't get scratched when you drop your keys or loose change in your pocket/purse with your phone, you really can't beat this price and product.

I installed the screen ago and so far so good, it really protects the device and prevents people from seeing your srceen.
Highly recommended.

ignore all the people saying there are too many bubbles. if you follow the directions on the back of your order sheet that comes in the envelope it will tell you what to do to get the bubbles out, i got mine out in five minutes. there where a couple small ones that wouldnt come out, but like it says in the directions, the did in a couple of days. MAKE SURE THE PHONE SCREEN IS CLEAN

I ordered this on Amazon because my old screen protector was completely scratched up. When I took off my original screen protector I found that it had used an adhesive to stay on. If you have a screen protector with an adhesive, clean it off with rubbing alcohol first before using the screen wipe that came in the package. Make sure your screen is completely free of dust and dirt and fingerprints. The screen protectors that came do not use an adhesive. I have a very tiny bubble right next to my touch pad but that's fine. It doesn't really bother me; I hardly notice it. One note about the screen protectors-- they do not look as advertised in the picture. They cover my entire screen past my touch pad and the buttons and ends directly above where my keyboard starts. There is a cut at the top for the speaker and a cut for the touch pad and two more cuts for the buttons. It works perfectly though; even better than the picture.

I have to be honest, I read all the reviews on this product both good and bad, and I was quite nervous of whether or not to buy this product, but now I'm glad I did.... I bought 2 and the price was AMAZING! i got all 6 and i've used two, the first was just my ocd and me not putting it on straight but the second time was a charm...no bubbles, and it fits perfectly...GREAT PRODUCT GREAT PRICE!

You will get exactly what you see here; 3 screen protectors. In addition, you will receive a cloth to wipe your phone clean of dust and a small cardboard tool to go over the bubbles with. Application of the screen protectors is also simple. Peel off the back of the tab, lay it CAREFULLY over the screen to be sure it is lined up (I use the Curve 8350 and it's a perfect fit), and then once it's on peel the top layer of film off. Whala. Your screen is protected. When you use your navigating pad you will feel the edges of the protector, but I promise it's only a minor feeling that will take at most a couple of days to get used to.

There was about 7 or 8 bubbles on my screen initially after application. I did not receive a sheet of paper telling me how to remove these bubbles like a few of the other reviewers have pointed out. But, I took the little cardboard tool and went over the bubbles. It looked like it didn't do anything right away, but a few hours later I came back and the screen had only one small bubble on it. Now I can't even tell there is a screen protector on my phone. So, patience is key.

And come on, at 87 cents this is the hottest deal in town. Go to any major electronics retailer and pay 10+ dollars for essentially the exact same product.

The item was easy to install; however, compared to other screen covers, it is too soft, and therefore leaves behind many noticeable bubbles.

Mine just arrived! Great product! It fits my BlackBerry Curve Gemini perfectly (also covers up all the function buttons - and only leave the trackpad free). It has a few bubbles, which is barely noticeable, and I think can be avoided if you follow the instructions correctly. The best part is that it comes in a packet of 3! Overall, I really don't have any complaints.

I had high hopes, but figured for $.87, not a big deal if it didn't work out. I had the same issue as a lot of other folks. No instructions came, but the stickers on the covers tell you when to remove them. The second sticker, the one on the outside of the cover, didn't want to come off and left nasty residue. Took it off, it was wrecked. Two more to go...I tried taking the sticker off first and wiping all the residue off before applying it and then cover doesn't want to cling to the outer corners of the screen. I realized there were actually 3 covers all stuck to each other...none of which clung to the screen. On to the third and final cover, took off the sticker and worked hard to get off residue. Gross, then applied cover and it still wouldn't stick to the corners of the screen. Got what I paid for, I suppose. Won't do this again.

A LITTLE HARD TO APPLY "PERFECTLY" BUT I CANT EVEN TELL ITS ON. IT WORKS WELL. AND GREAT PRICE.
