Screen protectors have one good function

I agree that screen protectors are a waste of time for your SCREEN. The matte surfacing on the protector makes it difficult to read the screen. However, I have found that the Graffiti area records my writing more clearly with a screen protector. So what I do is cut a sheet of screen protector just large enough to fit the Graffiti area. I can write more easily, and no annoying screen glare. I haven't even had to buy a box of protectors; I just bought one sheet for $1 from a coworker and that's all I need.

You're better off (financially and functionally) with scotch tape #811 (in the blue box).

Why can't they come up with a screen protector that combines the matt finish for the graffitti area and clear for the screen? This would be the best of both worlds.

I am sure they are working on this...

In conjunction with Wonka and his Everlasting GobStoppers!

Hey! A modest proposal

I've got a bright idea - why doesn't somebody run and patent the idea of a dual surface clingy screen protector for handheld computers! (Meant in jest folks - no hate mail, pls.)

Or you could just buy a normal screen protector (or thin film sheet plastic if you're really into D-I-Y) and put #811 tape across the bottom of it.

Hopefully this stays under the radar of whatshisname so I don't get accused of stealing his thunder....

Cheers!

About that screen that doesn't need screen protector idea, I've got another good idea. Styli that don't scratch up the screen.
