Is there a tough screen protector, that covers the lens top of earpeice to track ball. Verizon said there is none, and were trying to sell me the venus screen protector, and told me just to cut it to size. They are so FOS, I dont believe them.

I have the invisishield from this company and it's a tough S.O.B. Read up on it. I tried scratching mine with a staple remover and nothing. You can buy a cover for the whole phone or just the screen. The screen one is already cut to the size of your screen.

I have used the ClearProtector (CP) from an eBay store named "Clear-Armor-For-Your-Device" on two BB's and a cell phone. It is made of a tough, clear material that was developed to protect helicopter blades. It is diecut for the specific device and molds itself to it when applied. On my Cingular 8800, which is dark blue with some sparkle, it appeared to have a deep clearcoat finish. The company follows through with replacing it if it ever curls or is otherwise damaged...

One thing to keep in mind is that OEM parts are dirt cheap for these phones, so if your screen does get scratched beyond recognition, a new one is only ~$10 away.

That invisashield how long does it last till it starts looking shabby(peeling, discolored) etc.. And what website did you find the OEM parts, I assume you mean the LCD lens for 10.00

Well, I just got back from Verizon, and I purchased for my 8330, a Privacy Protector for my Blackberry. I have to say that of all the screen protectors I am loving this one so far. There is no cutting because it's form fitted for that model, and they have an assortment. If you were sitting next to me at the airport you wouldn't be able to see my screen. Yes the screen is bright and clear. I then bought a snap on hard shell protector for the rest of the phone. One more thing, the protector is hard enough plastic. I hope this helps.

I have a full body protection from BestSkinsEver which is exactly the same material as Invisible Shield above. One thing no one mentions about this stuff is that it's actually a bit tacky so when you have it up to your face it kind of "sticks" to you. That took a bit of getting used to. Also if you have the stuff on the front and back, it makes getting it out of the OEM case a bit of an adventure in the beginning.

Something else no one mentions about the "stick on shields" is the new edges you will notice on the device. It bugged the heck out of me the first 3 days... Now I don't notice them.

Another vote for BSE.

I also have the BSE (full body), and I'm quite happy with it. The surface isn't glass smooth, though, so reflections off the screen are kind of funny-looking. You sure can't hurt it, though!

My brother has the Ghost Armor (www .ghost-armor. com) on his 8330 and I'm having it put on mine next week. It covers the entire phone and the product has a lifetime warranty.

I think he paid like $30 for it installed so it doesn't break the bank.

I just dropped my phone for the first time ever... I walked outside at my bud's bar-b-q, dogs jumped on me and my phone popped out of my pocket, fell 3 ft on his concrete porch. The back popped off, battery fell out, Curve was face down. Not a scratch on it.



I'm ordering 2 more BSEs tomorrow so I'll always have a new one handy.

Ive never tried BSE. I have tried Invisibileshield and I think that it sucks it isnt very clear at all. I just got ghost armor put on it and i have to say that it is frickin AWESOME!!!!

i just book marked this. i'd rather pay 10.00 to replace the screen. is it hard to replace? or will i have to find someone to do it?

[faerie]

hmm .. now that i am looking at it, it looks fairly idiot proof... course i may be the one to defy the odds :P

[ariganep]

Just ordered a BSE full body skin, hopefully I will like it.

[nomoreq]

I have the Otter Box case and love it. It may be aLITTLE bulky for some but for the added protection it affords me the small added bulk does not bother me.

Like Nathanotis above I dropped my 8330 on asphalt the other day. The impact left a notch in the upper right corner. I ordered the ZAGG full cover kit and plan to install it this weekend. I let you know what I think. Cost was $24 somthing plus a couple of bucks for shipping.
