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.

Ultra Optics Screen Protector Lets The New iPad's Retina Display Shine Through


While I've constantly been in the anti-screen protector camp for all my iOS devices, the technology continues to get more impressive every year, and I thought it was time to give one a try for my new iPad.The Steinheil Ultra Optics Screen Protector from Spigen SGP piqued my interest because the company markets it as straddling the border between clear and matte films to provide good image quality while protecting from fingerprints and glare.
Being a hard-coated protector, installation (which is easily the most widely discussed and criticized part of the process) does take a little bit of patience. Spigen SGP thankfully includes a bottle of screen cleaner, a microfiber cloth, and squeegee.After spraying the screen cleaner on the cloth, users need to wipe down the iPad's screen fully remove as much dirt, dust, and lint as possible. You can line the screen protector up and then slowly remove its backing while applying the film.Laptop Power UK Comes Up With A Full Range Of Acer Laptop Keyboards.There were not too many air bubbles, but what appeared on the screen was easily removed with the squeegee.
And just like every other screen protector installation I've ever done, there were a few tiny bits of lint and dust that did get stuck between the film and the screen. Being a perfectionist, I was able to remove most everything with a simple trick. First, place a piece of Scotch tape on the outside corner of the film, nearest to where the obstruction is.You can then raise the film slightly and use another piece of tape to grab the dust or grime. The entire process took me around 30 minutes for a completely clear screen. And that's much better than films that require a wet application and may take up to a full day to dry.
Once I was able to view my new iPad's screen with the film, I was really impressed. While I've taken a look at other screen protectors, they have always come off eventually because I felt like the display was blurred.But with the Ultra Optics Screen Protector, the iPad's screen definitely shined through. The film has been on my tablet for a little more than a week, and in that time, I've never felt like anything on the screen has ever been muddied. Spigen SGP says that the light transmittance has been increased by 50 percent from the previous model, and it really shows (literally).Other screen protectors famously feature what is called a rainbow or orange peel look when held at a certain angle. I tried to duplicate the look with the film by using my iPad in a number of situations and lighting conditions, but I couldn't.
