Anti-glare screen protectors

deborahjeanne · 02-17-2011, 04:24 PM

I purchased the ones Barnes and Noble sell, and I have never had so much trouble applied a screen protector in my life! (and I've applied a lot of them). Does anyone else make one? does anyone know if the BN ones can be washed and reused?

I purchased the B&N one when I bought my Color and applied it so I am familiar with the product. I do not think it will be usable if washed as the sticky substance is what holds the film to the screen.

At my local B&N the sales rep has offered repeatedy to assist folks in applying the film. I didn't take advantage of it but a friend did. I agree its not easy and it took me a couple of tries to get it to lay right. Good luck.

I had very good luck and applied the screen the first attempt. I followed the directions, made sure it was very clean using the supplied micro-fabric cleaning cloth and pulled the tab to remove the protective cover. The screen then adhered quite nicely.
I agree that it is not likely that it can be washed and reused.

I had no problem putting mine on. I so impressed with how easy it was I bought a similar product for my Droid 2 mobile phone but I could not believe how much more difficult that was to put on.

I got the B&N sales woman to put mine on. She messed up the first one, but got the second one on correctly. She gave me a replacement for the one she messed up.

I doubt I could have gotten it on myself, especially with cat fur floating in the air at my home.

Got mine on without issue. Maybe a salesperson can assist you with it?

Here's a tip that I read somewhere (can't remember where) and it worked great for the Nook. It didn't seem to help with the Droid but then again it may have been worse without it.

Before starting, clean your screen very well with the microcloth provided. Then take a Qtip and dunk it in a little bit of rubbing alcohol. You really need very little. Rub that all over the screen, then use the microcloth again to thoroughly dry the screen. Then try placing the protector over it.

i goy mine at b&n and had no probs to put it on without bubbles.
it is a verry thick foil, like te one i have on my palm life drive for now 7 years and that is good like the first day.

the b&n foil is a bit expensive, but there are two inside an a micro cloth for cleaning

can only recommend that one
