Touch Pro 2 Screen Protectors (quick review)

So I wanted some screen protection for my new Sprint TP2. I found these and thought I'd give a brief review to help those in the market for screen protectors for the TP2 (Sprint).

I purchased the Pocket Solutions 3-pack found here:

http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI...Protector.html


Pros:
- Rubbery feel (stylus doesn't slide to another letter inadvertantly, flawless soft key typing! Overall touch response is great! see "Cons")
- No adhesive, reusable (static based application)
- Quick shipping!
- Very inexpensive
- Cheap
- Affordable
- Won't break the bank
- Yes, I'm bludgeoning you with this final point on purpose...

Cons:
- Rubbery feel (stylus wants to cling rather than slide making scrolling a bit tedious. Possibly just a getting-used-to kind of thing, but for now, annoying.)
- Size is a little smaller than it should be
- Overall shape is not rigid. Since it's smaller than the actual edges of the front panel by a noticable amount, you can see the edge of the protector quite easily. The material it's made from does not retain it's shape well when squeezing out the air bubbles and thus you get a wavy line along the edge of your screen rather than the nice clean straight edge other protectors offer.
- Poorly packaged (Protectors too large for the sleeve they were shipped in. Corners bent and caused application to be less than perfect, however still usable.) This was easily my biggest gripe. It was simple carelessness.

So...
Overall I find these to be usable but not ideal. They are a 3 pack and very cheap so if on a budget they will work, however I'm sure there are better options out there. It's too bad they didn't care enough to pack them better so the corners weren't frayed from the backing and weathered.

Hope this helps someone.
