Re: inexpensive screen protector that's smooth like the OEM Sprint protector?

Thanks to your suggestion, I went to ATT and bought the 3-pack to use on my Sprint TP2. I'm very happy!

On my Palm TX, I used Clarivue screen protectors, which worked very well. The Clarivues I used had no adhesive backing, were crystal clear, and lasted a long time. They were washable/reusable. I considered buying the Clarivues for the Sprint TP2.

After I picked up the 3-pack from ATT, I went home to my basement office, removed the original screen protector, then wiped down my phone. I started with a little rubbing alcohol to clean the screen, followed by a good rubdown with a micro-fiber cleaning cloth. Finally, I used a can of compressed air to give it a little dust off.

I originally planned on replacing the screen protector poolside while my kids were in swimming lessons. The environment there is very humid and I doubt there'd be any dust. Anyway, against my better judgement, I proceeded to apply the new ATT screen protector in my dusty basement. I removed the backing on the screen protector to reveal the adhesive side. The adhesive seems mild and I'm not concerned about it on the TP2's screen. Anyway, the new protector is an absolute perfect match. Somehow I managed to get it on right the first time, with only having to make a slight adjustment as I was working. I easily removed all the bubbles, but it looked like there were a couple of "spots" under the screen protector. They were tiny circles with a dot inside. I thought it was probably dust, but decided to not let it bother me for at least a couple of days. Afterall, I still had 2 other screen protectors and could go back to the pool to apply them if need be. By the next day, the little circles were gone, and I'm telling you, it's very difficult to tell that there's a screen protector on there.

I gave up on my Seidio Innocase. The top case kept breaking, and contrary to the ads, it does add some bulk to the phone. I keep my TP2 naked, except for the screen protector, in a horizontal leather holster on my belt. I love the feel of the TP2 in my hand and am extremely happy with the look and quality of the ATT Tilt 2 screen protector.

Thanks!
