It makes a *huge* difference over the clear ones. Much better.

Bought this over the Hori, very pleased with it. Bought the crystal clear one, might have to pick up the anti glare one soon too. I don't know how Hori's is but I wanted a screen protector that covered the entire face. I highly recommend these.

If you want to apply it straight on, start at the bottom, make sure the screen protector is aligned at the bottom edge of the screen, and look at the speakers on left and right and see if the space around each speaker is equal. Should be a great fit.

The Javoedge Screen protector does as it advertises. It is as simple as that. This handy piece of apply able plastic easily and cleanly affixed to my PSP. It was also very easy to partially remove and reapply so that I could get out bubbles and a pesky piece of lint. When I removed it I saw no residue on the PSP’s screen and it came up with a minimum of trouble.

This product though does have some minor flaws. First and foremost due to the way that they achieved the antiglare effect you will notice some minor artifacts. But this is due to the plastic in the protector being stippled. The artifacts are just the refraction of the PSP screen in directions other then your eye. But in most games once you start playing you will not even notice. The second is that due to the proximity of the screen to your hands. You will find that the oil from your hands will get around and even under the screen. But with a little cleaning this is also cleared up.

All in all I found this product to be good. I can use my PSP out in the sun with minimal glare from the screen and it is tough keeping scratches off that beautiful mirror finish. And besides the minor artifact issue caused by the antiglare method, the product is very sound. I recommend it to people that can get past it minor flaws. Have a good day and hope you find this helpful.

I had the Brando, and it was pretty good, but the glare was annoying. So I got the Javo anti-glare version. As with everyone else, it isn't 100 percent transparent, BUT, it does do a pretty good job reducing glare. Before, I remember having a real hard time in any area that was bright, but now I can play it in a lot more places. Still can't play under direct sun light, but that is to be expected. But where as before I'd have to find a corner of the room where the sun didn't hit to play in, now if I am indoors, even if there is sun coming in on me, I can play okay. So, it is a trade off, transparency vs glare removal. I think if you actually travel with the PSP, you will find this useful. If you sit at home and play your PSP, you'll probably be better off with a 100% transparent protector.

One word of caution, because it is not 100% transparent and impacts the quality of the screen display, if you use the PSP to play games or display moving images, you probably won't notice it much. But if you use the PSP for static images (ie, showing pictures), you will definitely notice it.

The anti-smudge is yes and no, yes because it does make the screen much more finger print resistent. No because since it is not 100% transparent, you can't polish the protected screen to that super shiny clean anyway.

Scratch resistence I don't know about... I am not sure what it is, but it is either a small scratch, or a little dust under mine. Of course I am too scared to peel it off to see if it is dust, because that will probably lead to many more dust particles getting trapped.

Ease of application? Again, nothing special. I did the hot shower thing, it was about as easy/hard to apply as the Brando. Aligning such a big piece protector was my biggest problem. I don't know why they didn't just give 2 protectors like Brando does, one that covers the whole face, and the other that just covers the screen.

I don't know what the problem is with the guy that did the previous review but this screen protector is great! I play my PSP outside a lot (I'm a Geologist) and I must say it was totally unplayable without this screen protector! Although it is not totally transparent, it is still very enjoyable. I would give it 85% clarity. The thing is, the anti-glare mat finish actually gives it an "armoring" property agains scratches! It doesn't just protect your screen from scratches by taking on all the scratches itself, it actually PREVENTS the scratching altogether. This is definitely staying on my PSP.

A MUST HAVE!

I have generally had a bad experience with screen protectors for the PSP. All of these experiences revolve around the inability to remove bubbles from under the plastic. The JAVOScreen was very easy to apply, with only minor bubbles near the edges around the buttons. Because your hands cover these when you play the PSP, they are hardly noticeable.

One of the other cool features is its resistance to finger prints! The standard PSP practically begs to be smudged, and it drives me crazy! With the JAVOscreen, a simple finger print won't leave a mark whatsoever, but if you really try hard to smear your finger, it'll leave a mark. The screen is also completely scratch resistant (I tried and failed to scratch it!), which is a nice plus.

The glossy sheen of the PSP has always been a bane of gamers ever since the console was released. There is just something odd about playing a game as you stare into your own reflection on the screen. By far the best feature of this product is that it almost completely removes that glare from your PSP! The material is not completely transparent, but instead has tiny little grains that diffuse the reflection on it's surface. Because of this, you will notice (barely) the tiny grains on the JAVOscreen when you are viewing your PSP. However, there really is not enough of a difference to warrant not using this product.

Overall, the JAVOscreen protects the screen and the area around the d-pad, analog-pad, and the right buttons from glare, smudges, and scratches. It doesn't protect the area directly below or above the screen. The kit comes with a new cleaning cloth, an application card, and of course, the screen itself. At $12 (+S&H) it is a well worth it.

Javo screen protector hinders the PSP's screen. not much, but the reason why I do not recommend this product is because Javo deceives the buyer by making their product look 100% transparent on the pictures they have.
