you lucky dog!!!

this is the worst time of year for diesel mechanics... everything is so freakn hot!! i lost 2lbs today just installing a new alternator on a series 60 in a classic xl on I-29... he called ahead as he was getting closer to my service area.. and i met him close to his exit he needed before he got into south dakota... not much for semi shops in SD... not much of anything in SD if i think about it...

well, the good thing about this year, at least it waited to get really miserable till the middle of june. so what is the best motor to work on, series 60, cummins, cat, volvo,or IH?

i have my preferences, but i always like to hear what the guys who deal with them daily think. stay safe out there, gatorade is your friend.

You do realize that the screen protectors from verizon have a protective plastic on both sides of each sheet right? I mean there are 3 layers per protector. It's the middle layer that you are interested in. Peel one side off to get to the sticky side and one side off of the user side that faces you. I've had one on there since I got mine in april. Still looks good. And stuck down tight.

I don't really expect anyone to admit that they didn't know that.

I purchased mine through sgpstore with the complete body shield since Feb of this year and it's holding up fine, no peeling. It also came with 2 screen protector.

Tried the ZAG - used to have it on a creative Zen with no problems - but I had to apply it like 2 or 3 times in a germ free room to get a good fit.

I found that the OEM protecters that came with the phone work best - easiest to install - very sturdy. I bought 3 for $7 on E-Bay.

But - before I go trying to peel the front off and ruin the protecter I have -- are you sure film peels off of both sides? That wasn't listed anywhere in the instructions.

yepper, if you look at the vzw protectors there are two tabs on them, one marked front and one marked back. take the back one off first and mount it on the phone, then take off the front one and you are ready to go!
