Cleaner Reviews

These little things are pretty cool. They keep my screen smooth and in great condition. Sometimes I am writing on the screen and I can feel something scratching the writeright and I'm just glad that it isn't my screen. The only problem with them is the air bubbles that form if it isn't put on right. I wasted a few getting at first trying to get the bubbles and stuff out.

These are a joke. They are soft and make the stylus drag IF you can get the thing lined up right on the screen. I threw them away after 10 minutes of struggle.

I waxed my screen. That's right WAXED IT! I had a bottle of ArmorAll Fast Wax handy. That is liquid, squirt it on car wax. I used a little dap and rubbed it in. I works GREAT! The screen is slippery and smooth as silk. It seems to repel finger prints and dust and wipes clean very easy. And it is cheap!

I saw the rave reviews for NuShield and ordered them instead. Frankly, I'm disappointed. The NuShields arrived quickly, but were heavily spotted and very cloudy. The first one I installed was scratched too much to be useable within an hour. Considering the NuShields are five bucks per sheet, I was severely disappointed. I've used Fellowes sheets on two different types of Palms (Vx and Tungsten T) and although they're not crystal clear, they hold up and do what they say they will do -- protect the screen and remain read-through-able. Also, they don't glare in high light (NuShields do this even in minimal light) and the Fellowes don't reduce the apparant light from the handheld itself (the NuShields cut the apparent light by a good 50%). I'll be sticking with the Fellowes in the future.

I've used the fellowes WriteRights on several items, including watches, PDA's, Walkman, and cell phones. I'd definately recommend them if you are prone to banging up the faces on screens. Just make sure your screen is clean before you apply the film. I usually get about 6 months of use out of the PDA before I need to replace. Best to use right after you purchase your item. As for the people that are dissatisfied, I don't get it. I'm happy with them.

Man, I got my self a PDA very recently. Toshiba e740. . .and it being a very costly thingy. . .thought I'd buy a pack of Fellowes WriteRights. My sincere advise - DONT BUY THIS (...). I just burnt (...) bucks man . ..down the drain. It was a traumatic experience.

These are great for one purpose only: protecting your screen for scratches. Yes, this is what they are intended for. However, the limitations on the visibility of the screen are extremely serious. The screen looks like a completely different device with and without these writerights. I didn't like the idea of cutting them to fit the graffitti area since I have gotten scratches from dragging things in the viewing area.

The biggest drawback of this product is the price. The recommend changing the screen protector once a month but they charge in excess of $30 for a package of 12. What a rip off! For a basically a clear and textured sticker, you're paying a couple of dollars a piece. Seems way overpriced! Especially if you change them at the recommended times. Unfortunately, there are no competitors that I've seen. I'd probably give this 4 stars if the price was better.

I bought these and put them on my Visor Deluxe right after I pulled it out of the box. I really wanted to protect the screen of my first ever PDA, especially knowing that I would probably be using who-knows-what (finger, pen cap, etc.) as a pointing device. My first two attempts to put these on ended in frustration because of it either being put on upside-down or with tons of air bubbles. By the third attempt I was getting better.

First of all, these things last far more than a month. I have had my Visor for nearly a year and still have 4 left. And 4 of the others were either excessively abused or I didn't apply them right. I have stretched them up to 4 months at a time and they would still look quite good.

As for screen clarity, there is a small sacrifice there. I never knew what my Visor screen truly looked like until a month when I tried again to use a CompanionLink screen protector and noticed how much clearer the display was. But I took the CompanionLink protector off because my Visor's stylus recognition seemed to greatly suffer and the CompanionLink protector, while clearer, added lines to the display and was otherwise cheap. And the glare with those things on was horrible. I would rather have a slightly fuzzier display with a little less contrast than not be able to read the screen because of glare and annoying lines caused by a cheaper screen protector.

The WriteRights really do improve graffiti recognition and reduce glare significantly. And they do their primary job as a screen protector quite well, too. I still don't have even a single scratch on my screen.

And some tips for applying the screen protector without air bubbles, and this goes for any brand. Of course, make sure that your screen is spotless. Following the instructions on the WriteRights will go a long way, but I found that I just initially align and apply the small portion of screen protector that is exposed at first and just use the card that comes with it to do the entire rest of the process. I move the card forward accross the protector in short strokes to cover both sides of the protector and also peel the protector from its backing just using the motion of the card. Within 30 seconds or so the protector is on the screen completely without air bubbles. I tried this with the CompanionLink protectors with the same results (although those things are still terrible).
