Brando/G2 (etc...) Screen Protector Questions

OK...I have heard about the Brando and the G2 protectors and everything, and how you can remove them, etc...

How do they work? How do they stay on? Are they better than WriteRights (which I use on and off...)? Can I get them off the internet? Is it worth the cost? Will someone give me one? (I know, I know, but it is worth a shot!)

Removing a Brando- either carefuly lift a corner with a pin or pointy Xacto knife, OR (safer way) stick some Scotch tape to the protector near a corner and lift.

Removing a G2- sort of pinch it in from both edges. It will bow up and pop out pretty easily.

Brandos stay on by a re-useable low-tack adhesive, G2's slip between the screen and frame on all edges. The Nu-Shields also tuck along the sides, but are shaped to be wider in the middle so they are easier to slip in (but they don't stay as well in my opinion).

Better than WriteRights- isn't almost ANYTHING better than these?

On the Internet? Ya, sure! I have never seen them in stores- I think Brando sells from a store in Hong Kong. Brandos are at www.shop.brando.com.hk(?) and G2s are at www.pdascreenprotector.com.

Worth it? I think so!

Which one? G2s are crystal clear, Brandos are very slightly milky. Some claim Brandos help on a Prism in sunlight. G2s 'slip on' (be careful of ANY moisture- it will make a nasty film between the G2 and the screen!) Brandos stick on- careful of dust!

Free one? I DO have a couple old Brandos and G2s that I am getting tired of cleaning to use... I MIGHT be persuaded. (Like the postage from Omaha to Bellevue is that much! LOL!)
