Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I thought I would give this product a try, because I liked the idea of protecting the LCD screen on my iPAQ. However, three application tries later, I returned them. It was impossible to get the film applied without leaving small bubbles and or smears. The iPAQ has such a nice looking screen that having the film there with bubbles etc really detracted from the quality. I could not have used it like that.
The adhesive will ruin your screen. I don't understand why you are going to pay 20 dollars to "protect" your screen when it's in fact not helping you at all. I bought them and then heard that they were tough to put on. I still tried but, it is very difficult. I would reccommend going to the compaq website and going under ipaq accessories. They sell them there for 16 dollars with screen protectors without adhesive. Also this does not increase sensitivity, it reduces it. How is something like this going to actually increase it? Well i'll leave it up to you if you want to destroy your screen.
I'm not sure if I should have applied this or not. We really shouldn't put anything sticky on the sensitive iPaq screen. But I felt the alternative of nothing was worse so I went for it. Anyway, I had no problem removing the protector from my first few attempts on centering and smoothing and I love their companion product for the Palm VII. But I found this one harder to apply. Also the card that come with it is way too small. I had to go and fish out my Palm VII applicator to do the job. What were they thinking. It took me about 5 tries and I still have a small bubble or two but overall I'm fairly happy with it. And I do have peace of mind with it on there.
I have tried other adhesive screen protectors and I always return to this one. With just a little patience (less than 3 minutes of your time) they can be applied bubble free. I have also not found any evidence of the adhesive ruining my screen and I have been using them pretty consistently for 3 years. I do not do much handwriting on my iPAQ and so cannot speak to that sensitivity, but have not noticed problems with sensitivity for other stylus functions. And the image seems just as clear as without the protector. Also, I had no "Fellowes"/copyright label printed on the protectors as earlier reviews had mentioned.
Fellowes makes screen protectors for Palm devices, BUT they are new to the Pocket PC arena. The one for IPaq I just got is simply UNUSABLE due to their copyright message on the bottom of the screen covering the "toolbar" (they must be very proud of themselves) on almost any program it covers very important information, buttons or icons. Took it out after an hour of use. Price... very expensive, around[ price] and it does NOT include at least a sample of their recommended cleaning pads, which you must buy additionally. In other words: DON'T waste your money until they delete their annoying copyright message.
Upon applying the WriteRight to my iPaq, I must admit, I was wondering what kind of bogus accessory had I fallen for--air bubbles abounded despite some rather patient handiwork. I decided to give it a few days, since the product received strong reviews on cnet.com--it paid off--within 3 or 4 days, every hint of a bubble had completely disappeared. I simply could not tell that the plastic was on the screen, except for the reduced glare perhaps (it was working). Fellowes recommends that the WriteRight be changed monthly. On schedule, the plastic film seemed smudged and in need of replacement after four weeks--better the film than the iPaq screen itself. Recommend.
