5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and easy to apply, January 5, 2009

By	John S. Welch "John" (Clearwater, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the second screen guard I have tried for my G1. Although there is only one in the package, it is a good one. A problem I had with another screen guard from "Smartphone Experts" was that the guard material was not crystal clear. It had small distortions that degraded the video watching experience. This one has none of those distortions. Also, the guard came protected on both sides and had handy peel-off tabs to remove the thin protective plastic from each side. Lastly, the guard fits the screen perfectly and was a snap to install -- no water or chemicals needed. It comes with a cleaning cloth. Good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the price fool you, March 14, 2009

Really do not let the price fool you. This is a great product. It fits the G1 perfectly. The performance of the touch screen is not affected by the application of this screen protector. Shipping is fast and installation is no problem at all.

The T-Mobile store didn't have any G1 screen protectors to sell and suggested going to Office Depot and buying a screen protector for a gps and cutting it to fit. Ummmm no thank you. I was a little worried that something selling for under $1 could not be a good product but I thought, well it's not much money to find out. And it turned out to be great so go ahead and buy with confidence.

1.0 out of 5 stars Barely adequate for the job., June 2, 2009

By	M. Terry (Derry, NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These screen guards are sized correctly and apply easily, but that's about the best that can be said for them.

Although ostensibly only $.02 (or $.01 now, it seems) per unit, the "shipping & handling" obviously mitigates that "bargain" price. Are they good enough to warrant that extra "hidden" cost? I don't think so. Furthermore, if you order more than one, you are still charged the exorbitant extra shipping fee per unit, despite the fact that they are delivered in one package. The more you buy the more outrageous the supposed "deal" becomes. How is that a bargain? They certainly don't weigh enough to cost $2.98 for shipping, so they must be "handled" an awful lot. (Is $29.90 for 10 mediocre screen protectors worth it?)

At first they seem ok, but with a bit of use the downside becomes apparent. The material is simply subpar. There is quite obvious color distortion (a ranbow color effect) and in bright sunlight they defract the light making the screen more difficult to see. They also attract fingerprints, smears and dust like a magnet, making it necessary to wipe off the protector almost constantly. Being a basic rubbery plastic, they sometimes impede smooth finger-sliding motions which can making certain touch-screen operations difficult.

Considering the price, I think there are much better products that provide a better overall experience. If these were merely to protect a non-touch screen they would be fine, but considering the imposition they create for necessary operation of your G1, I say avoid them. I respect my G1 too much to sully it with this subpar product. I'd rather use no protector at all than use these.
