got one of those TrueVue ones i think.
it does reflect more than the screen, and loves finger smudges...but I think the stylus slides easier on it. On the screen, the stylus seemed to grab abit....dunno, maybe i just needed to clean it after taking of the thin screen protector out of the box.
I own a multitude of Nokia phones/tablets, namely....
N95, N97,
E90, E71
N810, N900
I have never used a screen protector... I simply keep them in cases with soft/velvet lining.
Over time, they do develop scratches.. but these are only visible at a specific angle in direct light (i.e if you are really trying hard to find them).
My opinion is , screen protectors are not required if you are generally careful with your phones.
just when i realized that the n900 display is so damn damageable i bought a sixpack screenprotectors from amazon.
(because i knew that i'm getting trouble with mounting them as i hadn't done this before to my other mobile phones)
so i messed up two of them by trying to mount them just the way they are without any helping tools.
the third one went without problem because i sprayed some glasses cleaner on the display on which the protector could glide above. then i was able to move it around the display for getting it to fit 100%.
after some hours the alcohol in the cleaner was gone and the protector was mounted perfectly on my display.
i'm very happy with it especially when i imagine that the little scratches wouldn't be on the protector but on the display itself. couldn't live without one. and just for reselling purposes it might be a clever draw
I bought a ScreenProtector (exim UltraClear) two weeks ago. I noticed 2 small scratches on my screen. They are very small, but when turning the N900 under (sun)light, you can see it in a few positions.
Don't know where are the scratches from. I took the N900 as only thing in my trouser pocket. No keys or coins etc.
I am still dithering on the screen protector. Mine is 6 weeks old and no scratches. I also keep it in a pouch or front trouser pocket and never keep keys or coins in the same pocket.
had mine a few weeks now and i dont use one and never will imo they destroy the feel and look of the phone i dont use a case either i just make sure it has a pocket of its own i.e not shared with my keys i done this will all my phones in the past and never scratch them. i never keep a phone for more than 18 months so they never look bad ar the end of there life. if i was to scratch the screen i would just replace the screen. they are not so avaliable yet but give it a couple of months you will find new screens (the plastic over the actual screen) for a few quid on a certain auction site. and at the end of the day its a phone
Ok, quick story....Chopping down trees in my garden didn't notice tiny tiny chip in finger nail...scrolling webpage later on n900 by flicking finger up screen and drew a long deep scratch into screen protector that must have nearly gone through to actual screen!!...Never used 'protection' before but glad i did this time.
I may take it off when replacement screens are cheap and available...until then 'keep it covered boys'...er, and girls! ;-)
