Screen Protectors

The life of portable electronics is full of danger. However careful you are, it’s very hard to prevent your valuables from damage without additional protection. Being the most vulnerable part of any gadget the screen requires special attention. Screen protectors are one of the most effective ways to keep the screen of your gadget brand new for as long as possible. Most often screen protection is used for PDAs and Pocket PC phones, since they feature a stylus-operated LCD touch screen which is very sensitive and can easily get scratched. Screen Protectors are equally important for cell phones, smartphones, iPods or any other electronic device.

As you can easily tell from the name, screen protectors are designed to safeguard the screen surface of electronic devices from scratches, dust and dirt. There are several generation of cell phone screen protectors that vary in durability and level of protection.

Screen Protectors - First Generation

First Generation Screen protectors of the first generation are made of a thin self-adhesive film which often doesn’t provide for enough safety. You can see this type of protectors on the screen of virtually every new device. Most electronics manufacturers provide their products with one. Since these screen protectors don’t last long and soon get scratched they come in packs of 15 or more. Generally, they are not designed for a particular device and need to be hand cut by the user according to their needs.

The benefits of these protectors are that they are almost invisible and add no bulk to the device leaving the access to the controls and connectors open. Besides, they can be installed or changed in almost no time, and yes, they are inexpensive. Although first generation screen protectors can be quite enough for some users, they are not suitable for those who need more protection.

Screen Protectors - Second Generation

Active people often find it difficult to maintain the good looks of their electronic valuables. While tough shock-proof cases may be too bulky to use, screen protectors of the newest generation might be the very solution they need. They are made of much more robust urethane film (similar to that used in the military to protect helicopter blades) and are specifically designed to fit certain models of electronics. Although they are thicker than their predecessors, second generation protectors are transparent and not too noticeable. Being more expensive, they have a number of important benefits: they offer lasting protection relieving you from the need to change them regularly and they fit better since they are tailored to a particular product.

Which type of protection to use will mostly depend on what kind of user you are. If you are not sure as to how much protection you need, you can start with the first generation screen protectors and, if you find that they are not enough, switch to the more durable ones.
