omnia screen covers?
 
I picked up a pack of screen protectors for my Omnia. I love them, but they last two days until the edges start peeling up. I rarely hold it to my face, so I'm guessing they're just el cheapo. Has anyone found decent quality screen protectors? I'm not paying $10 for a 3-pack every week.

Off of ebay, I got 1 screen protector, 1 car charger and 1 omnia case for $8 lol. The case is pretty good. It's snaps on around the omnia. The screen protector is still in place after 2 1/2 weeks... no signs of peeling... and the car charger still works like it should. My advice would be to check out ebay. You will probably find something you like on there.

Used Zagg and did not like to sticky, rubbery feeling. Made it hard to move about with fingers.

that wears off after a little while. I have had it on both of my omnias and love it.

Just lost the Zagg screen cover (had to pull it off). The Zagg I bought was for the i900 with forward camera cut-out on the cover, this is the part that delaminated first then stretched over to begin pulling the rest of the cover off. Now have generic cover installed, thinking of contacting Zagg for purchasing new set...long answer to "I like the Zagg better than others"

I purchased one at Fry's electronics and have had it on for about 4 months. No bubbles, no peeling, it doesn't affect the responsivness. I'm going to have to replace it cause its done exactly what it's designed for, protecting the screen, now the cover is scratched! I have another at home, i'll report back when i get the name of the manufacturer.

I got a pack of screen protectors with my phone from Verizon. I made a mistake when installing the first one, and still had one of the covers on it while trying to use it. It started to get all bubbly, etc. where I was writing and I was ready to put on one of the other two from the package when I discovered that I had not peeled off all of the protective cover for the protective screen cover. I know . . . . I should have looked more closely . . . but the Verizon ones were pretty good.

That being said . . . I have had an iPaq pda for many years and was very happy with a screen protector from "BoxWave". They make two types, one is anti-glare. I really like them and have since replaced the Verizon ones with the BoxWave. Here's a link
http://www.boxwave.com/

Make sure that you search for the Omnia i-910 since they do have stuff for the i-900, also.

BTW, I used one screen protector from Verizon for almost 5 months (worth it in my book), and it was still good enough, but I wanted to go to the anti-glare from BoxWave, so changed.

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.:drunken:

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!
