Cellhelmet's new screen protector


Cellpig, the creators of the Cellhelmet case that comes with a lifetime iPhone refund warranty, have just put out a video announcing the creation of their very own screen protector. You may have heard the crazy promises screen protector companies make about there products, saying that they can withstand a truck driving over the screen, or even having rocks dumped on it, but only Cellpig guarantees that your screen will stay completely protected. That's because if, by chance, your screen is harmed while using a Cellpig protector, the company will repair it for you.
These protectors will retail at 19 to 29 U.S. dollars a pack. This is a very cheap way to ensure your phone's protection for an entire year, considering that a typical iPhone screen repair can cost around 199 dollars. Though because the Cellhelmet screen protector is created out of tough PET material (used to make bottles) you most likely will not need a repair.They are currently looking for funding through Indiegogo, though they claim they have all the manufactures lined up, and are prepared to make the product when they reach the need funds.Also Cellhelmet promises to have a screen protector design ready for the day that the iPhone 5 comes out.You can learn more about Cellhelmet's latest product here, and through the video below this.
You'll want to press down at an angle so you can avoid air bubbles. If an air bubble does form, just pull the skin back just a bit and then try again. I had two air bubbles appear during the bottom application (the bottom pieces covers the most surface area — top piece has a hole for the Apple logo and keyboard piece is extremely easy to apply without bubbles because it's got so little real estate to cover).Once the skins are applied, you're almost done. The kit also comes with a screen protector that can be applied in a similar manner — clean, pull backing, apply. I put it on and used it for only a day or so before taking it off. Personal preference — I just don't like screen protectors for my phone or my laptop. The included screen protector went on without bubbles but I just get bothered with a plastic covering; if you like them, you're covered.I closed the lid and took a look at all edges and couldn't find any errors in application. That said, I had no doubt that pulling off the skins would be easy enough. A few days ago I pulled off the piece that goes under the keyboard to test whether the adhesive left any residue after two weeks of use. Nothing. Zip. It pulled off easily enough and, after I reapplied, I haven't seen any curling of the edges or any loss of stickyness.
