Re: Touchscreen scratch protection
Chris, you have open the hunting season :-) If you are from Spain, Portugal or Andorra you can also purcharse this virtually indestructible protection from http://www.tuxbrain.net/shop/product_info.php?products_id=34 A little bit more expesive at first look but you will save in shipments cost and mainly for Spain, a lot of headaches with our National Postal Agency, I deliver in 24 after payment confirmation :-) in those countries.

Re: Touchscreen scratch protection
I disassembled my Neo, installed protection on the screen and put everything back. No one is able to say it has protection because you cannot see where protection ends and real screen begins. So no dirt is keeped on the ends of the shield. Maybe I will write a wiki page on it - I have some pictures of the installing this zagg thing process.

Re: Re: Touchscreen scratch protection
To be honest, the zagg invisi-shield works great but it does look dirty with smudges especially on the edges of where the shields end. dirt seems to stick under the edges making it look not so good. it helps that it is a black device, but i looks much better without it. To me, the protection is more important, so i will probably leave it on. but i might recommend just getting the screen part and not wrap the whole device like i did. -Casey Does it have any effect on keeping the screen reasonably clean from smudges when using a finger for input?

If you play minesweeper for example, you have to click without moving for 1 or 2 seconds to put a flag on a cell. As soon as your stylus touches your screen protected by the Invisible Shield, stylus' tip is fixed (and it works well). Without the protection, you have to take care to stay stable, because any small movement is going to make your cursor move. A friend of mine has a FreeRunner but he has not installed the Invisible Shield yet.

I never protected my Nokia 9210 and (since 2000) it is still good (it has a resistant body), but the big screen is always protected as soon as device is closed, so it is hard to make a comparison.

It may not be directly comparable but the Psion 5 had a finish very similar to that on the Freerunner. It was good for a while (~3 years for me) but eventually started to peel around the corners. The later 5mx had a paint finish instead. The Freerunner may do better as the corners aren't covered in the rubbery stuff.

Re: Touchscreen scratch protection
They did reduce, but I installed mine months ago and there are a few still there. However, I admit there may have been some "operator error". Re: your earlier post, it is a stickier surface, making some dragging tasks trickier, but I find it quite agreeable.

Re: Touchscreen scratch protection
Alastair Johnson a écrit : > http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/openmoko-neo-freerunner-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php I am currently using a full invisible shield protection Invisible Shield protects your device from scratches, and it does it very well, but you lose a bit in good-looking aspect (in my opinion) and in usability. About the body protection : as a geek I generally consider protection to be more important than look, but the FreeRunner looks far better without it (without:smooth and matte, with:adhesive and glossy/plastic). About the screen protection : very good protection too, but less slippery. A friend of mine bought an HTC recently and fingers slide well on default protection.
