Customer Reviews:

Worst piece of *expletive* I've ever purchased sums it up nicely. [Posted on 2008-02-18]
Buying was smooth, so was shipping. Arrived well within the specified time given with my order confirmation.

That's where the good news ends.

I fumbled with this thing for nearly an hour. It seemed "magnetically" attracted to the screen, so that when trying to line it up just right, it somehow sticks itself to the screen prematurely, and at the wrong angle, leaving me to peel it back off, and try again. I thought my fan was the culprit at first, but then I turned it off, and still got the same result.

Using the included dust cloth was very easy, and it cleaned the screen very well, but more dust miraculously appeared, mere moments after a complete cleaning. Repeated the process SEVERAL times, with no change. Even tried keeping the iPaq inverted (screen down), and didn't do any good.

After all this frustration, I sucked it up, and just stuck the protector on. It had numerous bubbles underneath, some of which caused by dust which was now adhered to the adhesive side. Some of the bubbles, without dust, wouldn't even budge when the smoothing card provided was used.

The only good thing is I now have a fairly handy dust cloth. Everything else in the package is pretty much useless.

I guess I'm lucky this mess isn't very visible when the screen is lit up. I will probably not be purchasing another one of these. I'll likely go with a non-adhesive "more expensive" screen protector for next time. Atleast dust can't stick to those.

To Lexerd: I really do not like writing reviews as negative as this one. In general, I am a very relaxed and accepting consumer, and can deal with alot of disappointment. In this case, you have produced a pathetic product. You likely know you could have done better, and that is the sad part.

fantastic [Posted on 2008-02-26]
The TrueVue screen protector is fantastic! After looking at the 3M screen protector my roommate has, I researched various protecters and found this one to seem to be the best... It arrived I put it on my new IPAQ 111 and it is amazing - it's like it's not even there! I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to protect their PDA. The size is perfect for the item - no cutting, etc..

Works very well [Posted on 2008-04-22]
I found it to be easy to install when I peeled it only part way off the backing per the instructions. It even came with a cleaning cloth and what looked like a couple finger gloves to avoid fingerprints. I figured that out after I had installed the screen protector (they were not labeled and not in the instructions unless I missed that part). I did have to lift part of the protector back up to smooth out a bubble. Now it's invisble to me and the stylus works the same with it on. I have every confidence it will protect my new screen from scratches.

Works exactly as it's supposed to [Posted on 2008-08-30]
This has been on my PDA for about 6 months, and works exactly as it is supposed to, and exactly as advertised.
Installation requires some patience, but follow the (very clear) instructions, and you'll be fine. The package included a couple of rubber fingertip gloves (to prevent getting fingerprint oil on the screen), a lint-free cloth, and a piece of plastic to smooth out bubbles.
As long as one is careful and takes a little time to install the protector correctly and precisely, there will be no problem. If you are impatient and just want to slap something on your PDA, this is not the product for you. OTOH, I suspect products that just "slap on" to the PDA don't work half as well as this.
I recommend this product, and will buy it again when I replace my PDA.
