    What is the WA recommendation for a screen protector?

    I am leaning towards getting the Innocase that viewfly recommended from seidoonline.com, but how about screen protector? Does the Ultimate Screen Guard from seidoonline.com work well, or should I consider the one from Bodyguardz? Any other ones even better?

    Thanks, Zamboni! Upon reading reviews, there are lot of people talking about small bubbles and that the shield goes yellow over time. Did you have any such issues?

    I prefer the Crystal Film Set by Power Support. It's carried in the Apple Store, and elsewhere online. $14.95 gets you 2 and a cleaning tape to remove all dust. I get the clear one, not the anti-glare version.

    I tried another brand, but like this better. Don't be surprised if you destroy the first one of the set. It always seems to take two tries. If you get very small bubbles, work them out with your fingers, and any remaining will disappear overnight or the next day.

    Both the original screen and the screen protector clean up really well (smudges and the like) with a dry cleaning cloth (that comes with the iphone, or cleaning clothes from the Apple store). Shirts, tissues, etc don't seem to get the smudges off completely off (the protector or original screen) as those do. For stubborn stains, just a tap of saliva or water works fine...I never use any cleaning solvent. Well, a couple of times Windex, to get off oils before installing the screen protector.

    My opinion. You will love the Innocase, unless you just want a sleeve/pouch to use the bare phone with. Charlyee and I like the Sena cases for that. For the opening on the back of the Innocase (for the Apple emblem) I cut a square of the unused Crystal film and overlay it before slipping on the Innocase. The metallic Apple is notorious for scrapping off easily with wear. Mine looks perfect after 10 months of use hanging out in my pants or coat pockets.

    I have the Zagg InvisibleShield (screen protector only) on my W580i and I've been very pleased with it. I've had it for at least 18 months now and it hasn't turned yellow or obtained any scratches, etc. It's carried in a shorts pocket when I'm working out, etc. and so it's exposed to your basic amount of dirt and such - I pick things up and put them in my pockets all the time without worrying about it.

    No "bubbles" - what I have noticed about it is that if the phone is off (display dark) and you look at the phone directly under a strong light, you can see that the surface of the shield is somewhat warbly. With the display on, you can't see the shield and it doesn't detract from the display at all.

    I've been pleased enough with it that I got one for my E70 - I've never installed it there as the original film has stayed on the screen - it's kept in a case, so it doesn't get as much general "abuse" - I was just going to put the InvisibleShield on it if/when the original film starts to come off.

    The InvisibleShield cleans easily with eyeglass cleaner; and it was easy enough to install - although I had to try twice. It takes a lot more of the solution than what I'd expected as it needs to be able to easily slide around on the screen for a moment or so for placement purposes. Then as said previously, you just squeegee the bubbles out, and the small remaining ones evaporated overnight.
