I was recently looking into preserving the screen on my Nokia 5800 from scratches and similar. Being slightly OCD about these sort of things I searched around on Google for reviews and recommendations, without a real conclusive decision made, I headed over to Ebay to find out for myself.
Looking through various different solutions, I opted for what looked like a bargain; 3x Mirror Screen Protector with accompanying cleaning cloth for £1.59. Being so cheap I bought them just to see how they were, thus giving me a benchmark of sorts to try and compare against. After a days of waiting the items arrived. Since then I've applied one and have been testing it out.
Application
The application of the screen protector was very simple, there are two flaps which make the process very easy, with very simple instructions even the most novice person shouldn't have trouble. A little more effort and patience is required to avoid getting bubbles.
Results
Keeping in mind these are "Mirror" protectors they do what they should, protect the screen with a mirror effect, which it does very well, almost too well. See the picture below.
The protector does give off a 3D-ish look and rainbows appear when viewed from angles and even straight on in dark conditions. The screen is nigh on impossibly visible in direct sunlight and bright conditions, all I ended up staring at was a reflection of myself (and that's not a good sight I can assure you). The sensitivity of the screen was actually better, and more enjoyable to use. In dark conditions the protectors does a great job but in bright sunny days like now, where the British Summer is making an appearance, it's very inadequate and useless.
- Pros: Improved sensitivity, protects, good for putting on make up and the vein.
- Cons: Doesn't work in sunshine / bright conditions.
The search is still on to find a decent screen protector, but now I have something to compare against and 3 cleaning cloths, all for £1.59 it's not so bad. If anyone has any recommendations for Screen Protectors, do let me know.
