Best Skins Ever $7 .... I bought before I bought my Curve and have had it covered from day 1. I change it about every 6 - 8 months ... probably could go longer than that. Easy to put on, but follow the instructions and take your time.

BodyGuardz - Scratch-Proof Transparent Protective Skins for Mobile Devices | Skins, Covers, Screen Protectors, Cases, Shields

Full body covering and you get 2 sets with the order. Then lifetime replacements. Regular shipping has gotten to me in California in 2 days all 4 times. They use a thinner coating than they used to which sticks way better than before. My last set has lasted about 8 months and looks just fine so I've still got the 4th set for when I need it.

Try Zagg.com for the invisishield screen or full body protection. I have used this product on 3 BB's now and an iPod. I had one on my Pearl for over a year with no problems. On my old Curve I had a black spot where it was picking up the dye from the inside of my case but I contacted Zagg and they sent me a new one for $3.95. I usually buy them before I get the device and install them immediately.

They should last just as long as the device, if not longer. Just be patient when you put it on and you'll be fine. Clean the device thoroughly and wash your hands. Then using the spray they send you, spray your fingers and both sides of the covering. Place it on the device and move it into position. Then using the included squeegee, lightly push the air bubbles and excess moisture from the middle to the edges. Use a paper towel to blot it as well so no liquid leaks into the housing. You will still have air bubbles but they will go away in about 24 hours.

Search here or on Google for "Best Skins Ever" or "Invisible Shield". There are plenty of existing threads on these.

I treat my blackberry the same as I keep my pistols, in the holster until im ready to fire. The holster is enough for me.

I would try Phantom Skinz. I have had it and i love it. The most clear and smooth of them all. Believe me ive been through many others and i like them the best!!

I always hear good reviews from then to and says right on their website "Originally designed to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades from erosion"
Yup! good stuff!

I paid $9.95 for the Pearl screen protector and $11.95 for the 8900. However since I bought 2 for the Samsung Propel at the same time I got a 30% discount. They run specials from time to time as well. Memorial Day was the last one.
