Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

Does any one find the boxwave crystal clear protectors to be really easily scratched?? When I first got my TP2, i put a crystal clear on and the protector got some really fine cuts on it after about a week of use that made sliding on your finger on teh screen really annoying.

I contacted boxwave and they offered me a free replacement and asked me to mail them the used one. I was rocking my TP2, completely nude for about 10 days. Got no scratches on it whatsoever. Then my replacement crystal clear came in the mail, i put it on maybe two days ago. It's already scratched up and running my finger nail on the surface isn't smooth, it gets stuck where the fain cuts are.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The boxwave apparently isn't scratch resistant at all!

Yes. I always used to buy the PPCTechs ones. And on the Diamond I had the original one on there for a good 6 months. I bought the Boxwave ones and they scuffed up pretty fast. I'll go back to buying PPCTechs for TP2. The Stock one that has come from sprint on the last few phones has been pretty good too.

That sucks. Another option is
Brando. They make great screen protectors & the only reason I don't have one now is because it look them so long to become available. They are only $10 & shipping is free til December 31st.

i used to use protectors from bestskinsever and they were really awesome. it was jsut impossible to scratch one of those things. The only downfall was that it made the screen really rubbery.

Is there anything out there that's smooth AND scratch resistant?

I have tried a few screen protectors and can agree that it seems like Boxwave's are prone to fine hairline scratches. I purchased the 5 screen protectors from Ebay for the TP2 and was surprised by their quality and clarity. I have had that one on since October and it is a clear as the day I put it on with NO scratches whatsoever.

How are the fit of these? Do they completely cover the Sprint TP2 screen even all the way to the bottom corners next to the call start and end buttons?

Also could you link me to an auction for these?

Thanks.

Bodyguardz are made specifically for TP2 so they go around bottom buttons, they also have full body kit(and yes it has a cutout on the back for Sprints huge "speaker" grill). Check online they always have 20-50% coupons floating around, and kit comes with 2 full sets as opposed to invisibleshield that comes with one only. I am not affiliated with BG just used them on all my devices so far without a problem or complaint

i've been using the boxwave since i got my sprint phone like 2 months and no scratches.

Same here, & I have another Boxwave on my BU phone that is a TP. The one on the TP is over a year old & still looks like new.

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.

Re: Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

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.

Re: Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

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...

Re: Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

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.

Re: Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

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.

Re: Boxwave protectors are really scratch prone!
 

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?
