I can understand if you felt they were overpriced, but I would hardly call them a rip-off. I am glad to hear that the G2s are working well for you, that's great news. :0)

Since then, I've upgraded my PDA three times, and always looked to the G2 for its crystal-clear protection. Earlier this year I read the review for the C². Although they were almost 3 times as expensive as the G2, I trusted your glowing review and decided to try them. All I can say is that <strong>it must be nice to get these for free because they are rediculously overpriced! </strong> The Klear Screen cleaner kit sells for $9.95 (bottle, lg. micro Chamois, 6 Klear Kloths,2 Travel Singles and a Travel micro chamois), and the horse-hair brush is next to useless.

I just ordered G2s again for my new X50v because I hate feeling ripped off!

I have <strong>many </strong> cases coming in to review with the 4700, and I am pretty sure that it is one of them...but I may be wrong. :blink: Dan, let me know how you like the Piel Frama when you get it.

When my HX4700 finally arrived I still had to wait 3 days for my Brando screen protectors, it was very hard to prevent possible abrasions and use the PDA so I left the PDA on the docking cradle for most of that time. The WriteShield sounds like it is in the same class as the Brando (per your reviews of both). The Write shield has the added advantage of cleaning supplies that may take some of the frustration out of installing the screen protector. I almost gave up on the installation, I had to wash the shield (a major task in itself) and de-lint it be for attempting another install. After about 5 attempts I was successful. Overall I am finding it is very necessary feature to have on an Industrial strength PDA like the HX4700. Now I am free to tap write and scribble away with piece of mind. I guess if I had any criticisms about the high end screen protectors it would be that there are not enough of them in the package to allow you a few to practice with. The other means of protection is a good quality case. The Piel Frama case I ordered finally came in today. I may be one of the first people in the USA to be receiving one for the HX 4700/4705. The case measures up to Piel Framas usual high quality standards. It really adds to the protection of the HX4700 as the larger weight and size seem to make the PDA more awkward to carry around.

I had an inkling that the Toshiba e805 ones would fit (same size screen); however, the guys there are really bad at answering e-mail. I bought one anyways, and after a few days (air mail from Canada takes a _really_ long time, I've decided), I got antsy (what if it doesn't fit?) and ordered the C2 kit. Lo and behold, I got the G2 protectors the day I ordered the C2 kit. I wrote back to PPCtechs, asking to cancel the order; apparently, they have the same issue with answering e-mails that the PDAscreenprotector people do, and a couple of days later, I got the "Your order has been shipped" type message. Ah crap :) Anyways, I'd like to report that the G2 protectors are a perfect fit, for those who dislike even the slight tackiness of the C2 protectors. I've found I've never been able to align those to my liking, so the G2's have always been my favorites. In fact, the G2 install on the hx4700 went smoother than any other G2 install I've done (iPaq 3670, iPaq 5450, NR-70V, Treo 600) if you turn the PDA upside down first; the area under the D-pad apparently is pretty free as far as letting the screen protector slide under there. Just something for people to think about, that have the hx and want screen protection :) Having bought an hx4700 myself, I was concerned about my screen, as well; my screen protector of choice is the G2 ones from pdascreenprotectors.com.
