Summary: Great Screen Protector, Frustrating Install...

I just received the Martin Fields Screen Protector this morning, and I have to say that it is one nice screen protector.

Many people have complained about the removeable backing not coming off... I personally had no trouble with this. I did, however, have trouble of another kind.

To begin this, let's just say I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and as such, can't stand the slightest bit of dust causing even the smallest of air bubbles under my screen... To this end, I had a large amount of trouble. The first attempt at installation had many bubbles and bits of dust under the protector, even though I made sure both screen and protector were clean just minutes before I tried to install it. The credit card trick (whereby one slides an edge of a credit card with gentle pressure to push air bubbles out of the side of the protector) did help to remove all the air bubbles, but obviously could not remove the dust... After this, I tried the tape method, where one removes an edge of the protector and dabs the screen with a bit of Scotch tape where he sees dust. My issue arised from the fact that no matter what I did or how much dust I removed, a dust particle always managed to sneak underneath the Martin Fields before I could get the protected back down, almost as if the protector attracted dust...

After a few decaminutes (that's a group of ten minutes for the mathematically challenged among you) of tape-swabbing like the dust-bunny I've always hoped to never be, I finally got it on the PSP without any dust. Hey, and all I had to do was tape over the entirety of both the PSP screen and the protector, then remove the tape on both and place the protector down all in about 6 seconds... Granted, if you do this in a vacuum, you should have no trouble whatsoever :-)

Now, the protector itself works great, is barely noticeable and adds absolutely *no* glare to the PSP. That is why I bought the protector, and I'd imagine it's why you're thinking of buying one too. To sum up: If you buy this protector you're in for a good deal of frustration installing it onto your screen. Once you get that done, however, you're in for many months and years of a healthy and easy-to-view PSP screen.

Thar ye 'ave it!
