 Best Screen Protector October 9, 2008
I've tried other screen protectors and end up throwing them out because they don't fit or they bubble. This is my second set and it works really well.
The bubbles disappeared on their own October 7, 2008
It's easy to apply. The screen protectors are between two other plastic sheets. First wipe the screen (with the included cloth), then you peel off one plastic sheet and face down the middle sheet (actual protector) to the screen and slowly press it down as you lay it out. Finally peel off the top sheet. I had no trouble applying the top screen protector, but I had to reapply the bottom screen protector several times because of bubbles. I eventually ended up with a couple of bubbles in the bottom middle before I gave up. Surprisingly, they disappeared on their own the next day. Seems like it's not really necessary to press out the bubbles as per the instructions.
Definitely buy to protect your NDS.
Reusable, tip on application October 6, 2008
It can be a pain in the neck to apply. At first I tried the bottom screen, i lined up the screen on one side and just kind of lay it on top, thinking that i can just push out the bubbles with a card or something. big mistake, some bubbles are too small can can't be pushed out, and while scraping to get them out, i scratched the protector and left a big line on it.
Good thing this is reusable. I took it off, wiped the screen, and washed the protector with soap and rinsed it clean. Drying the protector is another challenge, becasue no matter what you use to wipe it dry, it will pick up dirt, lint, etc. I ended up re-applying and re-washing it at least 5 times before giving up on wipeing it dry. the best way to dry it after washing is perhaps to use a hair dryer, or just shake off the water first, and then rest it at an angle against a drawer wall (sticky side down so no dirt fall on top of it) and let it dry overnight like I did.
The trick that finally worked for me is to line the protector on one side, then slowly lower the protector, use a finger to push the protector onto the screen, slowly, push from inside out so no bubble forms. If there's a bubble, pull the protector back just enough so the bubble goes away, and reapply.
Excellent product in spite of... September 30, 2008
Very good protector, works very well. The only bad thing is is putting the protector on the DS, if you try to get it on perfectly it can be very tedious.
+ / - September 12, 2008
So, I'm under the impression that I got the best protectors for my DS.
The tape trick of sticking tape on the corner to lift it up did not work for the touch screen protector. I ended up taking a piece of the plastic I peeled the screen protector off of and folding it so that I could use it as a tool to get underneath the not-so-perfectly aligned protector and lift it off so that I might get a second attempt at applying it correctly.
The whole process took me something like an hour. Maybe two. I don't quite remember.
I was then rewarded with a nifty slick feeling on the DS screen, and I was granted the ability to press slightly harder than I would have without the protectors.
Unfortunately, when looking at the protector with the DS off, there is a strange rainbow pattern (almost oil-like) discoloration.
A few days ago, I suppose something got underneath my stylus... I'm not really sure, but I scratched the bottom protector. Now I don't have that smooth gliding sensation. It's more rough as I attempt to compensate for the rips in the protector. I'm not sure if the screen would have been damaged if I had no protectors, or if nothing would have come of it and I wouldn't be playing games through rips and tears now.
I'm still not quite sure if it was worth the time it took to put them on. They're very inexpensive though, so that was no big deal.
I don't really regret it, but I still can't say these are essential. But then again- I have yet to ruin my DS, so that's a good thing.
