Screen protector question
I am looking to buy a screen protector for my iPhone 3g (and tomtom xl too) but i need something that will stick to the screen and not leave any air bubbles. i have a screen at the moment but it is a nightmare because it doesnt stick and leaves air bubbles/marks all over the screen. I was looking to buy an invisibleShield but apparently it doesnt stick well.
can anyone reccomend a decent product

Re: Screen protector question
i used best skins ever with my iphone and it works great, no dust or airbubbles on the screen, much cheaper than the invisible shield and looks just as good. They are a bit tricky to put on so get a few when you order as they only are about £3 each for the screen cover.

Re: Screen protector question
I had nothing but trouble with air bubbles on my first purchase and also hard to take off!, and at the moment dont have anything, which is working out fine even with kids using the screen. But still in the market for a better product. So will look into above recommendations.
Are 'best skins ever' available in uk?

i just ordered them from their website, they ship to the uk and the more you buy the cheaper the postage, took about week to arrive.

here are 2 mini reviews and tips to put it on if you decide on purchase. I dont think every person always gets 100% results with these types of skins, knowing my luck i'll get bubbles

Re: Screen protector question
In the first link the uy explains that he used soapy water to stick the skin to the iphone which i am not comfortable doing at all. i hope these skins are self adhesive.

you dont use alot and you will need to use the soapy water to allow you to position the skin when its in place you use a credit card to sqeeze the water out and the skin sticks, if you dont do it this way it will be very difficult to fit the skin as its very sticky, you are only using a thin film of water on the skin and it shouldnt do your iphone any harm as long as you dont soak the screen with lots of the soapy water.
