Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!

Also could you link me to an auction for these?

Thanks.

The fit is perfect and I would highly recommend them! Link below:

I've been using the one that came with the phone and it's working great surprisingly. For those who have insurance..are you really concerned about scratches? Maybe that depend on how long the phone will last before you get a replacement.

i use the boxwave anti-glare and have no scratches whatsoever. i have two little tiny dots on there that seem to be permanent but they are really hard to notice. i recommend the anti-glare over the crystal if you are worried about scratches. i have even dropped it onto concrete right on the screen (only from a couple inches up, mind you) and it was still in perfect condition. been using this one for about 2 and a half months i think.

I found the Boxwave Crystal protectors to be moderately easy to scratch, however, the Boxwave anti-glare seem to be far more durable and also give a very nice texture to the screen. I have been using the anti glares for about two years on various devices and am very pleased with them.

Just make sure you have a month to wait for these...I'm on day 28 since ordering and still waiting for them to show up...

I just received the Clarivue and was dismayed to see that they opted to end the protector above the hardware buttons, it does not extend down to the left and right of them like the stock protector does. This leaves a tiny piece of the bottom left and right of the screen always exposed. I am not a fan of that and consequently haven't even applied these to my phone.

I have a question for both of you regarding the anti-glare Boxwaves; Does it reduce the clarity of the screen? I once purchased an anti-glare Power Support for my iPhone and I absolutely hated the way it made the screen look. I did love how it virtually eliminated fingerprints though.

i dont entirely understand what you specifically mean by clarity. In bright daylight it is very difficult to see the screen but in any other light the screen looks beautiful and stays relatively clean. i just wipe it on my pants or whatever every now and then when it gets a smudge. looks very nice to me but i havent tried many other screen protectors.

Going on my experience with Power Support screen protectors for the iPhone, they offer 2 versions:

1. Crystal: totally clear but does nothing for fingerprint resistance
2. Anti-glare: have a frosted appearance which reduces screen brightness and gives the image a sort of a fuzzy look, but it just about eliminates fingerprints.

I know the Boxwave crystal will be very similar to the Power Support Crystal, I am wondering how the Boxwave anti-glare compares?
