Do you got a screen protector?
So in my quest to get my iPhone3G prepped and ready for ongoing usage, I have been trying to find a decent screen protector. That screen protector has to have a bunch of key characteristics:
- Protect from scratches
- Not affect touch functionality
- Not look shocking!
- Not bubble or peel
- Not collect excessive amounts of dust
I have had 2 screen protectors so far (Belkin Screen Protector for iPhone, and one from an unnamed company that makes a “mirror” protector..) and both have been been quite poor. The Belkin covered just the screen area of the iPhone front surface, rather than the entire glassed area. Problems: collected dust badly, and bubbled up at the edges after only week. The latter protector was just FUGLY – and despite the suggestion in the picture on the packet it came in, didn’t cover the entire glassed area – it missed a section at the top and the bottom, curiously, for no good reason!
Touch sensitivity was good in both, and prices were … er … average – £7.99 and £5.99 respectively.
Anyhooble, I’ve binned them both and am have now ordered this protector from MobileFun– let’s hope it does the job, finally and fully:

His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
