BoxWave, manufacturer for the fabulous miniSync that I previously reviewed, has ventured into the screen protection business. With the introduction of their ClearTouch Screen Protector, they have entered the realm of other long lasting, glare reducing, and low-tack protectors along with the likes of Brando, WriteSHIELD, and the P-i-v-o-t.

One of the nice things about the ClearTouch Protectors is that they are forgiving. I managed to get a blob of lint under the screen on my first application. I simply removed the protector, rinsed it in water, then reapplied.

This type protector is wonderful in that it lasts for a long time, cuts down your glare, and is virtually indestructible. An added bonus is that a very non-tacky adhesive is used, so when you remove the protector there is no residue.

I can't recommend screen protection highly enough, and the ClearTouch Protectors are a worthy addition to the genre.

Price: $12.95 for one

Pros:
Excellent, long lasting protection for your screen
Non-Glare
Easy to remove - non "tacky" adhesive
Reusable
Smooth writing surface

Cons:
None
