| Go on! You know you want it
| Summary: Simply the best (if you can manage to install it that is)
95
You've read all other reviews and I won't add more on it. it's just a very good protector. I have it also on my PDA.
The only thing that I want to share is my experience to re-installing it. It's true what one of the reviewer tells you, that it's damn hard to install it 'perfectly', but then again I haven't found any other protector that can do it better either.
The best way to do this is, as I learnt from somebody else, after you have a hot shower, hence the bathroom is filled with fog. This is the time when dust isn't much around.
If it's dirty, you can wash it under running water, than use Hair Dryer to dry the water off. This might not get rid off some of the very fine particle of dust, for this you just need to use scotch tape, just dab onto the surface and the dust will stick to the tape. When all seem clean, quickly apply it onto the screen.
I tried this and I can say that the result is 95% perfect. With practice you will get 100% 
Go and buy it !

I have to agree 100% with the reviewer who cautions that you need to get it perfect the first time. I just got one of these and read all of the reviews. I took all of the precautions (steamy bathroom etc.) and still there was a couple of fibres under the screen. If you are happy with a couple of fibres under your screen then fine but I made the mistake of following Martin Field's directions on removing the lint with the screen. THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. As soon as you pull it up any particles in the room instantly stick to the plastic protectoe because it is staticly charged. removing these peices from the protector with scotch tape is impossible. The entire process is completely ridiculous. Ask yourself is this really worth it? It's not because after you do all of this it still won't work. As if that weren't enough, washing the screen and then drying it with a hairdryer completely ruins it. The protector will now be covered with water marks similar to the spots you would get on glasses from a dishwasher. It looks so horrible you would never want to put it over your screen.
All of this brings you to one question: What is the purpose of protecting your screen with something that is going to make it look bad? It makes no sense at all. Until someone invents a screen protector that looks good and installs properly, I would caution anyone from wasting thier money on a $15 peice of plastic film. Martin Fields has my money and I have this peice of plastic. Brilliant.

flea, i feel your pain
i went through a martin fields, brando, and a hori and ruined all of them with dust until ive finally given up and you know what, there are marks on my psp but nothing that cant be wiped of and i dont have a single real scratch. My advice, stop obsessing over screen protectors and just enjoy your psp.

xandui, you hit it on the head.
now that i went through this whole process i am obsessing over the screen and its not healthy. in fact, my screen looked fine until i put the protector on and tried to get all of the air pockets out. now i seem to have scratches and specks on my screen that i could swear weren't there before. perhaps from running the credit card (even though i had it wrapped in the cleaning cloth) across the screen. can't say for sure but i would have been better off just leaving my screen alone. i think that any of the case protectors work fine. the pelican screen armor, the logitech case, and this new capdom softcase all seem to protect the screen just fine while in transit or not in use without the hassle and aggrivation. that would be my recomendation.
cheers.

If you have dust on your protecter just use masking tape to get it off works perfectly did it with my hori now its like new.

I covered the PSP screen and sticky side of the Protector both with scotch tape before putting them on. with tabs folded at the ends of the tape, so it peels off easily. Then line up the protector and peel both chunks of tape out at the same time, and run the squeegie plastic shortly behind. No more than 1/4 inch of protector is ever exposed to open air. And not for very long. 100% perfect aplication is easy. (except for the bubble in my PSP's display, that comes through as a bubble in the protector). *snap*
