Wondering if anyone uses the screen protector that came with the treo 650. Or is the screen durable and resistant to scratching?

the protectors never seem to look as good as the original screen itself.

anyone?

Use the protector

i tried putting the protector on, but it looks horrible... even if i get rid of the bubbles, it still looks 'scratched up' a bit.... almost seems like it's better to just leave it off.

no??? any experiences anyone?

There are many screen protectors out there. I personally use JavoEdge screen protectors. They are a little expensive, but worth the price to me. They provide great protection, are the correct size, are not easily scratched, lay on very flat, have a non-glare coating. Bubbling is not a problem if applied properly. They provide tools for cleaning and application in every pack. They also last a pretty long time depending on how many screen bumps you get.

ok, i'll look into those protectors... but how easily does the screen really scratch? my cell phone screen seemed to do pretty well for a long time, but maybe the treo is different?

If you never use the stylus on your screen -- I would say you could go without. I agree, the protectors do diminish the screen's appearance. As an old PDA user (see signature line) I still have not fully converted to the 5 way button. Protector's you can change out. After a 6 months of stylus use -- the screen will get marred. All depends on your usage. I'm PDA first, phone second.

Ditto. I use the BoxWave screen protectors. Durable and removable/reappliable. It doesn't diminish screen appearance like some cr*ppy screen protectors.

Yep, boxwave is the way to go. The screen _will_ scratch.

I don't use a protector and mine looks new after 4 months. I use stylus and fingers. I also treat my Precious with care.

Is there a problem with the protector that came in your User Manual? (You have opened the manual, haven't you?)

[ssrjazz]

Jet> Yah...the universal one that comes with the treo 650 is pure and utter ****e. That being said...I used it cuz I had no alternative until I could afford a nice 3-pack from Boxwave.

The ClearTouch Crystal Anti-Glare ones are just awesome. When you turn the treo on you can't even see the thing.
