From what I've heard, ZAGG has the mobile device patent on the material that they use. I mean, c'mon...it was made for helicopter blades so they would stay nice and smooth and not get ruined by the elements (dust and debris, hot and cold). If that's not protection, I don't know what is.
In the electronics world, you usually get what you pay for. Why buy a Rolls Royce then put Cougar tires on it? Same thing here, I wouldn't risk protecting my expensive 8900 with a discount screen protector.
If you think about it, -any- kind of laminate or film will protect from scratches. It's the dings and impacts you want to be careful about...and that's where ZAGG's material actually does do a very nice job.
I know many people swear by their BSE's and whatnot, but how many times have they dropped their phone or impacted the screen with those on? Can't accurately say one is better than the other without testing it's functionality the hard way.
Since it'll probably be a hassle to cancel my BSE order, I'll just have to remember to try ZAGG in a year or two when I need another laminate screen protector.
I got the Zagg screen protector and the oem bb case. I am waiting on the oem silicone case to come back in stock in pink. The bb case comes today and the zagg shipped yesterday. I have had other screen protectors for my old curve and they lasted about two weeks before they started to peel up. This particular brand would not 're-stick'. They came three in a pack, but only lasted for about 2 months total. This time I am going with zagg and I will see how they do.
Well I got my BSE the other day and I like the way it looks. There are a couple small streaks, but it's not too bad and it doesn't really bother me. It might be the skin because I know for a fact that I did not have scratches on my screen, but overall I'm very pleased.
I got a rubber skin for mine and took it off right away -- I found the buttons are too close to the edges, so any sort of skin makes the outer perimeter buttons difficult to press
I received the BSE and put the screen protector on Immediately..... I am waiting on the rest of it since I have black bezel on the way and i am going yo black it out !!!!
