PalmOne Tungsten series Screen Protector

• Package of 12
• Tough and durable
• Reduces glare
• Improves handwriting recognition
• Compatible with Palm Tungsten series and m500

I had some reservations about buying a screen for my Tungsten T because I've tried a Fellowes screen for the m500 and found that it made the screen look distorted (grainy) and made the tactile feel of the writing rougher because of increased friction. But the Palm's premium screen protector really delivers on all counts. It's very clear and smooth. I can actually appreciate the graphics capability of my Tungsten! The writing became smoother than just writing on the screen itself. Also, I didn't have to worry much about bubbles under the film when I applied it like I had to with the Fellowes. It went on virtually with no bubbles on my first try.

Here are some complaints that brought a potential 5-star review to a 4-star review. First, the package comes with 12 Tungsten T screen protectors and 12 M500 protectors. I thought I bought a pack of Tungsten screen protectors. Why would I want M500 screen protectors? I don't know anyone who owns both or uses both at the same time! But the only difference between the two PDAs seems to be a slight curvature on the bottom of the M500 screens and so both sets of the screen protectors can be used on a Tungsten. Nevetheless, I would have appreciated it if all 24 screens were designed to fit on my Tungsten instead. For those who have a M500 will be disappointed to find 12 screens that probably don't fit their Palm pilot. The second complaint is a minor one. When you use the little "applicator" card, it makes scratches on the screen protector. So don't keep scraping or squeeging with the card to remove bubbles. It turns out you don't need to be so vigorous with the applicator to have a bubble free installation anyway. So be gentle. But it was annoying that the applicator card that they provide you isn't designed to be more gentle on the screen protector.

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!

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!

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!

The best protection for the Palm. They stick to the screen without being held too tight. Purchased the Belkin brand and won't use them...sticks too tight. All touch screen functions work fine. In fact, you can hardly tell there's one installed.
