Save your Screens! [Posted on 2003-08-09]
I bought the screen protectors along with my Palm Zire 71 (A must have also) and applied it before even charging it up.

After 2 months of solid, daily use, I can say that the screen protectors are worth every penny (and rather few pennies at that).

The incredible amount of scratches and such that my protector now sports only reminds me that those scratches should be on my precious screen. Today after a particularly horrible scratch (made by accident) I finally took the protector off to apply a new one.

Placing the protector on the handheld is relatively easy, although care must be taken to ensure proper alignment, because it doesn't re-apply easily.

Removal is straight forward, just peel it away (carefully!) from the screen. It Sticks very well onto the screen, but no weird gunk is left behind.

I don't give it 5 stars mainly because of the (maybe) troublesome application and careful alingment procedure. Of course, that could just be me and my terrible motor skills YMMV.

All in all, an excelent product!

Not up to Palm quality standards [Posted on 2003-10-14]
Palm should be ashamed to sell this cheap product. The film is hard to apply, darkens the screen and scratches up easily.
For a premium brand they should have looked harder to find a better product to complement their PDAs instead of making a quick buck on a cheap product probably made in China.

WARNING [Posted on 2004-02-10]
This product is not suitable for all Palm Tungstens. Although the product claims to be for all "Tungsten series" PDAs, it is too long for the Tungsten C (and probably the Tungsten W.) I bought this product because it was listed as an accessory for the Tungsten C but it is not compatible with the C unless you want to cut it to size.

Do it before you ruin your screen! [Posted on 2004-03-11]
The newer, brighter screens on the Tungstens and Zire 71 are also softer. They scratch easily. My Tungsten T3 was showing marks on the common areas of the screen within a few weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't get these from the very beginning. At least now it wont get any worse.

A little difficult to apply, but if you carefully apply one edge first and slowly roll it on while smoothing with the included cloth, you can get it on perfectly. It will make the screen slightly less bright and can look poorly when the palm is off, but when the palm is on they are unnoticeable. Believe me. As the owner of at least 8 different Palm models, this is an excellent investment in your $300+ Palm. Get em!

Incompatible with Tungsten T3 [Posted on 2007-04-06]
What the seller fails to mention (but the packaging clearly states) is that these overlays are for the "Tungsten T/m500 series." The package further states: "Compatible With Tungsten T, m500, m505, m515 & Palm V/Vx handhelds" (Wouldn't that be good to know before ordering!!!) By contrast, this web page describes the product as, "PalmOne Tungsten series Screen Protector." We unwary Tungsten T3 owners might assume that includes us, but we would be wrong. Since the overlays are too small for my T3, I cannot cut them down to size. Owners of other Tungsten models which do not happen to be the "Tungsten T" may be likewise out of luck. Beware!
