Screen Protector For 8300?
Please Login to Remove!
Since this phone (the 8300) is so new, I am having a tough time finding a good screen protector for it.
I have used screen protectors by Best Skins Ever Home Page and BoxWave Accessories - Treo, Blackberry, iPod, PSP & PDA Accessories, with great success in the past, but they have nothing for the 8300 yet. While I am waiting on my belt-clip pouch to come, and I'm haivng to carry the device in my pocket...I am nervous about jacking up the beautiful screen.
Has anybody found a really good, really clear, really easy to apply screen protector for the 8300 yet?

I prefer Screen Patronus for all my mobiles. They're completely transparent and have no texture - some others I've used have a texture to reduce glare - and are a bit stiffer than others. The results is they go on with no air bubbles. They also come sized perfectly for whatever device you want to use them on. No cutting or fumbling around with templates. And they come in a 2-pack for $8.50

I second the shield-zone
I have shieldzone protectors for several other devices.
Pretty indestructable and scratch proof.
If you damage it or have to replace your device, these guys will replace it for free.

Did you order the screen or the full body protector from shieldzone? Has anyone tried the full body one - I wonder if it's any good?

I thought about it...but want to give the plain screen protector a shot first. If it is good...I might go for the whole body shield.
I tend to baby my devices though...and I doubt I would ever need it.

(links posted for reference) I had the search to find them. Not listed in the blackberry section (for me at least).
BlackBerry Curve 8300 Full Body Shield
full body shield
BlackBerry Curve 8300 Screen Protector Shield
screen protector
I'd love to hear a review. I'm tempted but I already bought a case. Is that enough? I'm curvious how many people have screen shields and cases.
Is it like a stick you slap on the screen or something else?

I just took the leap for the regular screen protector vs. full body - I'll try to remember to post an update letting everyone know what I think of it.

While the shieldzone looks like a great product, $24.95 + S&H is steep. I will wait for BSE total body, which is usually less than $9 with S&H.

BSE was the first source I went to since I used their product on my Treo...and they are the best ever. No doubt that when they offer the total body kit for the 8300, or even just the screen skin...I'll go for it.

I was wondering if the Screen Protector for the 8800 will fit the 8300 also from SeidioOnline.com. I ordered my screen protector previously for my Pearl and I loved it..does anyone know?

Anyone ever use Screengardz before? NLU Incorporated :: NLU Products
Looks like no liquid required. I recall hearing a co-worker give these a thumbs up, but wanted to see if there was any experiences from this forum.

I ordered the screen protector from Shield Zone. Will the people who ordered the full body shields please post some reviews? I'm curious to see if it is worth it or not.
