Introduction

It seems as though ever since the creation of PDAs the one horror story that seems to come up in conversation is the risk of dropping your PDA or even scratching your PDA screen surface. With several different options available for users concerned with whether they may drop the device or scratch it, you have a wide variety of options from which to choose from. If you know that you're clumsy and might drop it occassionally, you might want to look at a case to protect your PDA, or for those who know that they may accidentally mistaken that standard ballpoint pen for a stylus, then you might want to look at screen protectors such as the G2 PDA Screen Protector.

What's in the Box?

Considering that these are screen protectors, you cannot ask much from what would come in the packaging. Inside the package came two types of G2 screen protectors, one for a Palm V and one for a Compaq iPaq. For our purposes today, we'll look at the widely popular iPaq that continues to be on track with the popularity of Palm. Also in the packaging came a small cloth to clean your PDA and the screen protector with.

Installation

After opening up the pack labelled iPaq I proceeded to follow through the instruction guide as given with the G2 and started to clean my iPaq of any dust, guck and any other dust bunnies that may have opened up shop on my iPaq since its last use.

Once all the dust and marks were removed I read that the screen protector needed to be handled with care. When I read this I knew that I would easily get my thumb print somewhere on the G2 screen protector, and sure enough I did. I had to go through and wipe the screen protector off and then started to apply the G2 to my iPaq. I've never been a fan of screen protectors to be honest due to the fact that they seem so flimsy and usually look as though Saran wrap has been wrapped on the PDA to protect it from the elements! In the case of the G2 it looked very stable but after realizing that I had 2 protectors to which to use for the iPaq I became wary. Sure enough after trying to install the first G2 screen protector I realized that it was a candidate for the garbage can as I had seared the top right hand corner of one of the G2 protectors. When it mentioned that I had to handle the G2 with care, I didn't think it meant that the protector itself was fairly fragile for installing.

Thankfully I had a second chance at getting the protector installed on my iPaq. After several tries I was able to finally install the protector. One issue that I was concerned about was having 'air bubbles' after the G2 screen protector had been applied. In my case I had to de-install the protector and then re-apply it carefully so that I wouldn't get any bubbles. This took the most amount of time, so if you're hoping for a quick install of the G2, look elsewhere as it could take you some time to get it just right.
