Be Excellent To Each Other

morning,
MrsRomanista's Samsugn jety screen was knackered, which made that she couldn't use the phone,
my iphone fell yuesterday , and has a big scratch surface know (luckily my phone insurance will replace it for free),

but we wondered, does such a plastic type screen protector help at all, we also heard it had more negative side effects.

what's the forum's opinion?

For mobile devices , if it as a screen and gets touched in any way i have a protector on it.

I've had the InvisibleShield ones before, but have mixed opinions. They certainly protect the screens from scratches, but there's a fairly significant amount of finger drag on touchscreen devices with them fitted. I won't install them on an iPhone, but will happily do it on a non-touch device again.

I get no latency at all on my iPhone or iPad. Putting them on bubble-free is a stone-cold bitch though.

What Craster said... the air bubbles are unavoidable but definitely get one! It'll help if you want to sell your phone in the future too.

I had a protector for a few months. Prefer it without, though.

Yes, it always feels nicer without a protector.

I have one on my iPhone and will be putting one on my next. My screen is still in great condition and I change the protector when it begins to get marked. The rest of my phone is covered in scratches and marks because it gets kept in a pocket with screwdrivers and stuff but the screen has stayed ok so I think they work and I really don't notice a problem with responsiveness of the screen.

I don't really have any problems with them being on screens, latency-wise. It's just a slightly greater friction and I don't like it.

You're right about the bubbles, though.

Also: don't do what I did and scrape a key across the screen to test it. They can and will scratch if you try hard enough.
