Is a Screen Protector Necessary? - Page 4

BlindRacer · #1 (**permalink**) 10-08-2009, 12:43 PM

Okay, so let me get this straight.

Boxwave - harder plastic
Ghost Armor - halfway between - simi hard plastic
Zagg - Soft, Flexible, and sticky

I'm personally looking for something that allows my finger to move on the screen as if there were no protector on it. I also want something that is pretty much invisible. It sounds like both Ghost Armor and Boxwave would give me what I want. Is there one that is better than the other/ A reason to get one over the other? I'm seeing great reviews for both of these.

That is the clear boxwave product to a T.

Ok, that's great. The only thing that I'm concerned about, is that someone described it as a harder plastic. I don't know why, but this worries me. Is it just as easy to install, and is it thick/stick up off the screen a lot?

I just ordered the full body protector from zagg, If what you guys are saying is true about the screenie I will probably end up with an OEM one because it's working quite well so far lol.

This is the link to the Verizon version of the Boxwave Crystal. Why is it showing that there's a hole up top? Isn't that for Euro models only?

Will the Boxwave for the Verizon version come with this hole on the screen?

That is right, mine does have the hole but it is off the edge of the useable screen & after it's installed you can hardly see it (I totally forgot about it)

If you use any of the hard covers, that complately obscures it anyway.

Thanks for confirming that there is the hole. I'm not wanting that, but if that's my only option then I might do that...maybe in a week or two if one hasn't been released yet.

In searching, I found someone that said Martin Fields screen protectors are very similar to the boxwave type. Does anyone have any experience with these, and are they Verizon specific - without the hole?

Just for information for you all, I ordered from Boxwave and they are backordered on the Sprint one for the Crystal version.

They suspect it to ship in a week.

Just so you know incase you want to order
