Titles says it all.

I have been searching and it seems to be just too new of a phone.

Every time I get a new phone I get one from the below. They are great. But they don't have anything for the phone yet. I am also looking for a case for it and so far nothing.

I normally just use the inexpensive PDA screen protectors. I buy them from Comp USA, Best Buy or where ever the deals are at. Just buy the one for a device that has a huge screen. When you get home, cut them down to size and put one on any device you have.

It's not the best option, but it's quick, cheap, and easy.

If you get the one which is sold for universal use (like from Fellowes), the screen protector comes with a gridline on the back sticky paper to make it easier to size up your screen. I put one one mine and works great.

I am surprised Martin Fields hasn't come out with one....I got the 8125 less than a week after it was released and they already had a screen overlay out for it. I want the blackjack but past experience has taught me not to have this kind of phone without a screen protector on it.

Does the blackjack have the same screen as the i-320? If so, Martin Fields have one for the i320.

ScreenPatronus has them- just fill out the order form telling them you have a Samsung Blackjack and they'll figure out the rest. I have bought screen protectors for my DCM-tZ1 camera and Cingular 2125 there, both only a couple days after they were released and the ones they sent fit perfectly.

NO! I ordered this thinking that they were the same screen size and I was wrong. I was really pissed when I got it finally in the mail.

I tried cutting a different one and I don't think it looked so great after the cut. Could you post a picture of your phone with the cut protector and how it looks?

Oops...forgot to advise you guys and gals there's one for $5.99 for
us tight wads

and one for $8.99-$9.99,but I think that one comes with two screen guards,cloth and the lil cardboard thingy
to crease out any bubbles you might encounter.

Do a search on ebay...

I bought a screen guard and it was made for the Panasonic FX7/FX2 and it works beautifully. Perfect fit.

Posted by: dmurray1414

Have you guys found any that don't actually blur the image? All the ones I've used usually decrease the sharpness of the screen due to the glue/plastic..

Posted by: IlKevinlI

I ordered one for my BJ from http://www.screenpatronus.com/ and it is PERFECT. It fits the screen exactly and is totally clear. You cant even tell there is a screen potector on it. The best thing is there is no glue.

How does it stay on without any glue?

Posted by: luv2hum

i have no luck does anyone have any pictures with the screen protector on.

Posted by: IlKevinlI

It has some type of sticky substance. Not sure what it is but its not glue. I was both sides of the screen protector and it still stayed on after it dried.

My Invisible Shield from shieldzone.com arrived earlier this week. I screwed up the installation though and it doesn't look good at all. I'm thinking of removing it. My wife picked up a huge sheet of clear mylar (I think that's what it is, clear, kinda rubbery) from a craft store the other day. I might try that. shieldzone included a 40% off coupon with my order so I might try again, but I hate to pay for another one. I wish your first order included an extra so you could practice.

If you get one of these, ignore the instructions that came with it and watch the video on their web site. Based on the included instructions, I was expecting the protector to slide around more. It didn't. The video shows that I should have sprayed more of the included 'stuff' on the back of the protector first. Maybe that would have helped.

I ordered mine from BoxWave and returned it. It covered part of the Navigation button and the speaker and was too wide. Totally unacceptable.

ScreenPatronus or Martin Fields look good.

Thanks for the input

Maybe they sent you the wrong one. I got my screen protector from Boxwave and it was a perfect fit.

What don't you like about shieldzone?

I had one of theirs for my Nokia 6682, have one on my Canon SD 630, and on my Nuvi.

I love there products, and they are guaranteed for life. If they scratch, they'll send you a new one for just shipping.

You won't be disappointed. I am extremely satisfied with my Boxwave screen protector for my BlackJack. The fit is perfect.

Posted by: amg212

I picked up the Boxwave crystal - absolutely perfect fit, right down to the curve along the top of the screen. As with any screen protector, you have to line it up carefully but the Boxwave is quite forgiving - misalign it and you can just peel it off and try again. I got a couple of tiny air bubbles when I put it on my screen - I had no problem "sliding" the bubbles to the very edge and eliminating them. Clarity is outstanding.

I've always been happy with Boxwave's screen protectors on any device I've owned.

I'm glad I wasn't the only satisfied customer.

Here are the best screen/device covers I have ever used:

http://www.bestskinsever.com/servle...7-Screen/Detail

They are cheaper than Invisible Shields, but are the identical material. I've had the best luck by putting Windex into a bowl, dipping the skin in the Windex, and then placing it on the device and sliding it around until it's in place. Then you let it dry for an hour or so, and it's good, like, forever.

If you get a minor scratch on the skin, it has this self-healing quality to it, such that the scratch lessens and often disappears in a couple of days. If you have a couple of small bubbles under the skin when you apply it, they will often disappear in a couple of days.

I learned about these skins from the iPod world, and I'll never go back to any other product. The first thing I do when I get a new device is to put a BestSkinEver on it. I have 3 iPods, 4 Razrs, the Blackjack, and 2 Treos - all with BestSkins on them. I don't ever use a case any more, because with a BestSkinEver on a device, I am now scratch-proof. I just put the device in my pocket or in a briefcase, etc.

Oh yeah, I have two PSPs with BestSkins on them too.

Don't worry, these devices aren't all mine - they belong to my family members as well.

And yes, the first thing I'll do when I get my iPhone is to put a BestSkinEver on it. If I don't like it, I just peel it off.

And unlike every other screen protector I've used, these last for months and months and months. They don't get all scracthed up and gunky after a few weeks like all the competing products.

While I can appreciate the lifetime guarantee, I think "guarantees" like that are more of a pain than their worth, I want it to be right the first time. While mine is scratched in the corner already, I won’t be taking it back. I think the picture gets really hazy with just a little fingerprint grease, at it’s got this kind if soft, sticky feel to it that isn’t my cup of tea. Try dragging the stylus across the screen to select multiple items and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

By all means if shieldzone works for someone then go with it and be happy, but I cant help but think that theres a better solution out there for my needs.

You are probably correct. But, the funny thing is the BoxWave reps never acknowledged my question, when I asked if they sent the wrong model. So, I asked for a refund.

It's all about confidence in your product. They didn't seem to care.

I might give them another try

I purchased a large pack of ipaq screen protectors back in the day and any time I need a quick protection I just bring one of those out and cut it to size.

99.9% of the phones I purchase new, and they usually come with a screen protector on from the factory, like my 6682... Have had it for almost a year now and the same factory protector is on it, only one small scratch on the PROTECTOR.

All of my phones and iPods have bestskinsever scren protectors on them. They are the best, give great protection and you cannot even see that the device has a screen protector.

Has anybody used the Claivue screen protector on their BlackJack yet? I ordered one for my BJ and RIZR last week, because I had good luck with them on a w810i I had a while back.

Posted by: .7

I just got a boxwave crystal for my 8525 and let me tell you, you don’t know what clear is until you have one of these on your device.

It’s also really rigid for easy application; it’s just in a different league all together. When I took off my shield zone protector I thought I was going to pull the touch screen off right with it. This one installed like a charm , aside from the lint, but that’s not boxwaves fault.

I’ll be writing a review on it shortly, but trust me folks, it’s the real deal.

I have used Boxwave in the past on my Palm T3 and they were excellent. I ordered a 3 pack for my BJ and my daughter's BJ. The one I put on my daughter's BJ was good and clear. The one I put on mine was not cut properly. I have been considering contacting Boxwave for a replacement since these things are not cheap ($30 for a 3 pack).

The one I put on my daughter's BJ is cut perfectly including the slight curvature of the top edge of the screen.

Go to Gamestop and buy the "nintendo ds" screen protectors--2 in a pack for $4.99. They only need a little trim.

Posted by: txschafers

Bestskinsever.com hands down. I cannot say enough good things about these scren protectors. I have them on my 750 and Blackjack. They are tough and crystal clear.

Posted by: ReDRoVeR

Are the bestskinever.com cut to fit the blackjack screen perfectly? or is there slicing involved????

Posted by: didefresh2006

Well, after the annoying bubbles off my gamestop cheapo $4.99 screen saver, and a couple I bought elsewhere that annoyed me because of the bubbles, I broke down and bought a Clarivue screen saver on ebay and it is cool! It is even one of those privacy protectors and it included one extra plain one that I can give to a friend or keep myself...for $12.99. And it's even custom fit.

Just ordered a screen skin from bestskinsever.com for my Blackjack...but couldn't find one (for the screen only, not the all-over skin) for my Treo 680 or I would have gotten one of those too. Am I just not seeing it?

UPDATE: Just got an email from BestSkinsEver.com saying that they don't stock a screen protector for the Treo 680 apart from the full body protector skin...but they did produce a few of them, and they were including it with my Blackjack screen skin order!!

They asked me to send along an additional $2.99...but that's an awesome deal!!

I just had to give big kudos to Michael Herring and everybody at BSE for the amazingly cool customer service they provided!!!
