Blizzard - wow, prepaid


The price as the time writing this review is $23 for 2 months, that gives you about $11.50 per month. The cheapest you can get from WoW official website is $12.99/month, only IF you pre-paid for 6 months.



So pre-paid for 2 months at $11.50/month vs pre-paid 6 months at $12.99/month, you do the math.



I had to say I was a little bit turn off by what Blizzard did to me few minutes ago, I posted on their forums the link to this Amazon deal, it was deleted in 3 minutes. I know they're trying to protect their monthly fee, but it's kind of childish and immature, IMO. Just let you guys know here, you're the judge. World of Warcraft 60 Day Pre-Paid Time Card

My wife and I use these to keep our playing habit under control. We have to make a conscious decision every 60 days to keep going, and we get to keep our credit card information to ourselves.



As others have mentioned, however, this is extraordinarily wasteful. They are overpackaged and the entire package and everything in it hits the landfill the second the code is entered.



Ideally Amazon could just show us the code on their site; they're doing a lot of other digital delivery these days.



Hence three stars: five, minus two for the sickening inefficiency.

Okay, this is pretty straightforward. By paying for WoW using these prepaid game cards you get the game cheaper than if you pay month to month using a credit card. On top of that you get the added security of not having to give your credit card info for your subscription. For parents of young people who play the game this is even better, ensuring that your personal information will stay hidden in case the account is hacked. And remember, these cards ship free if you buy over $25 worth, so keep that in mind. Overall this is just a great value, and a cheaper way to feed your MMORPG craving.

I remember 2 years ago when there was all this hype over the MMO battle between Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft. Everquest had the experience, but the creators of Warcraft had only produced award winning games. Not a loser in the bunch.



Then the fateful day came, and it wasn't even close. Most people went straight to Warcraft, and those who bought Everquest defected.



At the time of this writing there are 9 million people who are playing online Warcraft. I quit 2 times, but came back because it appears that no company is in a position to overtake them.



If you like online fantasy games, World of Warcraft is top of the line, very addictive. Not recommended if you already have a solid marriage and children. This game takes up a lot of free time.

This has been a consistently good deal at 24.99 with the free super saver shipping by adding to an order or buying two. Now the price has gone up and honestly, theres no reason to get this if it isn't 25 or less. Adding time from the Blizzard website is instant for .01 more. Game cards were actually on sale for 19.99 locally and I stocked up. Maybe Amazon will follow suit.

Currently a subscription to WoW costs:

$15 a month on the per month plan, $14 a month on a 3 month plan, $12 a month on a 6 month plan, this 60 day prepaid at $23 (23% off on sale) works out to: $11.50 per month!



Other then being cheaper (at the moment) if you go with one of the extended (3 and 6 month plans) and decide to quit the game there is no refund for unspent time. On the 3 month plan you're going to be out $28 (for 2 months) at worst and on the 6 month plan you could be out $60 (for 5 months) if you quit in the month of the billing cycle.



So your costs are less, and so is your exposure. The only drawback is: you'll need to get another card in 60 days or sign up for the month to month plan while you wait for your next card to arrive.



It turns out, month to month is cheaper then anything, except the 60 day card, if you count money lost when you decide to quit the game but have a couple of months outstanding.

This is an excellent game and I wish Blizzard offered better pricing for pre-paying for 6 or 12 months. But their pricing is still the best deal apparently.



I have come across some supposedly "Low Price" deals here and after adding shipping, the prices are simply outrageous. For example, one online retailer offers each card for $21.88 then adds almost $8 PER CARD for shipping making the final price almost $15 per month. Why not just get Blizzard's deal?

I buy these for my son so he can play WoW and I don't have to worry about someone jacking his acocunt and somehow finding a live credit card number.



Come to think of it, I should probably do it with mine...

this is a game code on a credit card sized card. WHY THE BIG BOX!? Yes, I understand it's a retail shelf box, but couldn't Amazon work a deal with Blizzard to get some kind of simple lightweight (GREEN) product version to ship? come on... - Warcraft - Blizzard - Wow - Prepaid'

Kindle 2 Protection - kindle 2 case, kindle


Does what it's supposed to do and looks fine too. With the Kindle 2 being so sexily slim, I didn't want to stick it semi-permanently into a book-cover type case that would more than double its bulk while it's in use. ("Does this case make my Kindle look fat?") And neither did I want to pay $40 or $100 (!!!??!?) for the Patagonia or Cole Haan sleeve case. So I went with the Belkin and I'm happy with it. The soft neoprene plus a layer of leather should give my Kindle all the protection it needs. Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle)

Though it is exactly what it claims to be (though it really does smell like the other reviews claim), I've compared this to the more expensive patagonia and like the patagonia much better, even for the price. I thought I would use the Kindle naked, but the patagonia offers me the flexibility to use it both ways and after nearly dropping the kindle when someone bumped into me at the airport, i decided that the extra protection while I'm reading is worth the price.

I wanted a padded neoprene sleeve for my Kindle, and this one looked pretty sharp and was from a trusted company, and the price was right, so I ordered it. I didn't want the Amazon cover because it attaches to the kindle, and I like holding and using my electronics without any bulky additional add-ons.



I gotta say, it easily surpassed my expectations. The build quality is perfect. The design is excellent. Two zippers allow you to slide the Kindle out for use quickly and easily. The faux leather sort of reminds me of a journal cover, which is cool.



The padding is excellent. They have even run a strip of neoprene on either side of the zipper on the inside so when you zip it shut, the Kindle itself is padded against the zipper closure, thus providing full coverage padding even if it's dropped on edge.



All in all, a nice Kindle case, although I have nothing to compare it against, but if you want a simple protective sleeve to carry your Kindle around in, you'll be satisfied with this.

I was hoping my Kindle 2 would fit into the cover that came with my original Kindle (now being referred to everywhere as "the Kindle 1"), but the K2 is just a tad taller, so it's an awkward fit. However, I did learn while using the K1 that I needed to remove it from the cover to use it comfortably. Because the K1 had a rubber backing, it sat on my raised knee when I crossed my legs without slipping (a good reading distance for me). The K2 has a shiny metalic backing and requires that you hold it securely if you don't want to see your $359 investment go toboganning to the floor. This cover is little more than a padded envelope with a zipper closure across the top and one side and is adequate for protecting your Kindle when you place it inside your backpack or purse. What I like about it is that the rubber (?) padding on both sides makes it possible to use it as a support in your lap while reading. Slippage problem solved!

Nice padding, sturdy zippers, this case (not a cover) provides great protection *all around* in a bag or purse.



Please note: it does NOT accommodate the kindle with the cover on (it's too small) as some have asked.

This is a great case, for a great price. It has everything I need to keep my Kindle secure. I didn't want a book jacket-type case that doesn't clasp closed. I wanted something to hold it securely, something that zips, ensuring there will be no chance for it to fall out, or come loose. This is just the case for the job! Soft material, not to too big and clunky...a great choice that I'm very pleased with and absolutely recommend!

I just got this, the Kindle fits snugly and properly protects it. This is a good deal at the price. There are others at twice and three times the price I have no idea what they could offer that would justify the difference

This case has all the right parts except a good zipper. The size is right, the padding is right but the zipper leaves much to be desired. The zipper size is too small--the zipper teeth that is, and because the kindle fits snugly in the case there is a small amount of strain on the zipper. Unfortunately, the teeth separate when you try to zip the case closed so that you end up with gaps where the teeth didn't engage, or simply a failed zipper. Unless the zipper is replaced with a higher quality zipper, or the case is slightly larger so there's no strain on the current zipper I cannot recommend this case!

The Belkin sleeve does what its supposed to do, which is protect my Kindle 2. Nothing fancy about it. I wasnt a fan of the original Kindle's case so I opted for something that it just slides in and out of. - Kindle - Kindle 2 Protection - Belkin - Kindle 2 Case'

Home Office - wireless printer, canon multifunction


Got this printer couple of weeks ago and it has been performing up to my expectation. I still cannot believe the price of this AIO printer. Even at the MSRP of $99 from Canon, it is still very well below a comparable unit from other brands. I like a good bargain, so originally I had 2nd thought on getting this because it was only $10 cheaper at Amazon than list price. However, after comparing other AIO printers with similar features like wireless, fax, auto-document feeder, this became a no-brainer.

Pros:

- AIO with fax.

- Mac friendly software

- Price point

- Sleek symmetric design vs. other brands (i.e. all trays are closable to create a neat look)

- Self opening output tray if tray is closed. I had other printers where if I forgot to open the output tray, the paper would just cumple up.

- Easy Wi-Fi setup

- reasonable replacement OEM ink cartridge prices.

- iPhone/iPod touch app for printing photos from your iPhone or iPod touch.

- USB cable included, useful and a must for initial setup

Cons:

- so far I have not been able to fax from my MacBook wirelessly, though faxing from PC wirelessly works.

- slow start-up like most other users have experienced



I have owned AIO printers from HP, Lexmark, and Epson before. This model by far has been the best price performance for me. Canon PIXMA MX340 Wireless Office All-in-One Printer (4204B019)

This is a good printer for the price. I had a little problem setting up the wireless because the manual is not very clear in the instructions but I was able to set it up. I work as an IT so I dont know if this is going to be a problem for others. Also, when I tried scanning to the PC wirelessly, I got an error message from the computer about the MP Navigator. I went to the product website and found out that you need to install a separate software to get the scan to PC to work. Now, everything works except for a couple of things that this printer/software leaves to be desired -



1. OCR only scans text into notepad. Scan to Word does not work.

2. When the color ink runs out, you can not even print B/W copies.



The print quality is good and it print fast but Canon needs to fix the above 2 issues. It just doesnt make sense. My older printer which is a Brother MFC 210C can scan to word and I can still print B/W even when one of the color inks run out.

My ancient HP G5 All-In-One finally croaked, so I ordered one of these. I didn't really expect it would be any good considering how cheap it is, but I have been pleasantly surprised. The construction is really excellent, and it looks a lot better than most of the flimsy competition I looked at from HP and the rest. There aren't any floppy pieces dangling off it waiting to get broken. I am using it with an iMac 30" running OS X 10.6.3.



Setup was fairly straightforward using the wireless connection. The manual takes about 50 pages to get round to telling you that all you need to do is hit the menu button on the printer and find the LAN sub-menu, then choose the network and enter the password. The software for the iMac pretty much installs itself.



The included software is good. This is usually a problem with Macs and printers/scanners, but not this time. The scanner will scan straight into Mail, or into your Pictures folder, in jpg, tiff, or pdf. The scans are excellent, much better than the stand-alone HP Scanjet I paid $300 for not so long ago. Print quality is quite good, and reasonably fast, but I really got this for scanning and faxing, with just light duty printing when I don't want to walk over to the laser printer.



I am still laughing to myself over the insane value this represents. I honestly can't remember ever getting such a great piece of gear so cheap. It cost more to buy the Airport Express that hooks it to the LAN. I have never posted a review on Amazon before, but this machine is just so great that I had to.

The Agony:

I've been setting up equipment all my life (and liking it!) and I've got to say this has some of the worst documentation I've ever come across. The printed manual is a joke, leaving out huge blocks of information.



I tried following the manual as long as possible, but after reaching a dead end, my best option was to tinker and hope for a friendly user interface. Fat chance.



Another reviewer had mentioned disregarding the first 50 pages of the manual and setting up the wireless via the LCD display. That was the best advice I'd had all day. Even so, entering the router password was hardly intuitive, especially with caps, lower case, and special characters involved. Hint: cycle through the character types via the * key.



It turns out that the documentation on the installation CD is more complete, though it has more twists and turns than a plate of spaghetti. In Canon's defense, the machine does have a lot of features--but that's still no excuse.



Some of the CD contents seems unnecessary, especially for Mac users. At least Canon allows a custom installation and a pretty good explanation of what you are (or aren't) installing.



I'm used to scanning from within Photoshop and believe it or not, that is possible. I found a plugin and manually installed it in the appropriate Photoshop folder. It worked.



Obviously, Canon won't make any money on this until you go through a few ink cartridges. And judging from the small size of them, finding a reasonable price is a must. If you're considering this machine, remember it locks down functions when the ink is gone AND it uses color ink even when printing / copying in b/w.



The Ecstasy:

Print quality is simply outstanding, and that's coming from a longtime graphic designer who's very particular about output. My first page was for a final logo design and everything was flawless (on Konica glossy stock). No jaggies at all, even under magnification.



The scanner quality was passable and extremely quick (150 dpi color scan 6x4) taking 10-15 seconds. I expect better results once I have a chance to tinker with the software.



My wireless network was automatically recognized and integrated once the password entry glitch was overcome.



For me, the bottom line of quality and value far outweighs the gruesome setup and ongoing costs.



July 12 edit:



After recently installing Adobe CS5, I learned that the Canon scanner plugin (and all scanner plugins, for that matter) will not work with Photoshop CS5's Import menu. It has to do with the switch to 64-bit. So now I can either open Photoshop CS3 to scan within PS or use Canon's funky included scanning software. This isn't Canon's fault, but it is something you should know. - Canon - Wireless Printer - Printer - Canon Multifunction'

Western Digital - my book, western digital


this is a great dvr expander, it is easy to install,took 15 minutes including the reboot. you will be able to record a lot more hd movies than they claim in the advertisement. i allready recorded 146 HD movies and only used 38 percent of the harddrive, i believe i will get 300 HD movies on the expander without going past 80 percent. Apricorn DVR Expander II 1 TB for DirecTV Dual eSATA / USB 2.0 Interface DVR Expansion System ADTVE2-1000, Black 1 TB

My DVR's internal storage was okay for standard def programming but when I updated to HD programming, it was woefully too small to handle this. So, I purchased this unit to provide additional capacity.



The unit couldn't be easier to install. Just turn off your DVR, plug the Expander into the port on the unit using the included cable. Then power the DVR back on.



The DVR will then "see" the new storage area and will be available for use. Note, your internal storage is no longer visible to the DVR. This means all of your stored programming, TO-DO scheduling, and guide info will no longer be available. You will have to rebuild your scheduling and wait for the guide to populate over the next day or so, just like if you got a new DVR. You can always uninstall the Expander later if you want to access the internal drive.



The payoff is loads of storage space. I had 3 pages of programming saved before my free space dropped by 1%.



The unit works great, exceeding my expecations. The only complaint I have is the Expander unit makes the typical external hard drives noises and can be heard chunking away when the tv volume is low. However, overall, I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to have a lot of space for a DVR with a small internal drive.

This product is great. I connected to the DIRECTV H24, the newest DVR from DIRECTV. No problems recognizing the drive. Just hate you can't switch from the DVR internal drive to the DVR expander. But the only thing you have to do is turn the power button off on the DVR expander and restart the satellite and it connects to DIRECTV internal drive. It's great to have that extra hard drive space. I highly recommend this product if you have DIRECTV. - Western Digital - Dvr Expander - 2tb - My Book'

Hewlett-packard - black ink, hewlett-packard


I bought a cute little mobile Hp Deskjet 450cbi for college, which has proved to be tiny but reliable, and it's definitely worth the money. While three months of use of our Epson printer at home drains the cartridge, three months of printing out two to three several-page papers every week using my HP 450cbi leaves the cartridge drained only to 40%. Great moneysaver for a poor college student like me! HP 56 Black Ink Cartridge (C6656AN#140)

I just recently purchases an HP5550 and the printer, despite some negative reviews on speed... is excellent. The Ink is another story altogether. The cartridges are very small and after 1 week of regular use (home business printing, 4 or 5 pictures on sample paper) the ink is almost 1/2 finished!!! This could be a problem in the end as the ink is more expensive than other printer manufacturers. I guess watching ink consumption is something HP did not warn us about!

I upgraded to a new HP printer/scanner/copier 1350 earlier this year having used an old Deskjet 610C previously and was frankly very pleased with the quality that the new printer produced with this cartridge. The text is very crisp and clean and unlike the old printer ink does not smudge if left in the printer whilst the next sheet is sliding onto it.



HP cartridges always are a little more expensive than others but I do think they're worth the price. And they are coming down in price, I can remember when a black deskjet printer cartridge cost nearly £20 and a tricolor cartridge nearly £30.



You can ignore the warning that the cartridge is running low in ink as it comes up much sooner than is necessary. Generally speaking when HP cartridges (laser and deskjet) start to run out you get portions of the page text faded out in the printout and that doesn't usually happen for quite some time after the warning message appears.

What's to say - this is an OEM HP ink cartridge from HP. It performs exactly as you'd expect. The price from amazon is good. The only way you'll typically beat their price on this is either buying in bulk at a warehouse club or to buy a remanufacturered cartridge or ink kit. The former is risky as printer prices drop so fast you can end up with more ink than you need at a price higher than a new printer, and the latter which can be messy and sometimes impact print quality if you get low end stuff.

While the general axiom is that HP sells discounted printers and jacks up the price on the resulting cartridges.This is not the case here, it seems; The cartridges are very cheap and 1 lasts a long time.This is an important quality for a chem major who prints LOTS of lab reports but doesn't want to have to go to the store for ink constantly.

Presently the Amazon price for a new one, especially for customers who have Prime, is unmatched. You might save a few bucks with refurbs, but I sure haven't had much luck with them. Should you go with a refurb, be sure that you use your printer on a regular basis. They dry up faster than new ones, requiring multiple recleanings (and wasting of the "good" cartridge's ink) and occasionally simply refusing to come back to life. If you do purchase a refurb from an Amazon vendor and are dissatisfied with its performance, don't write reviews panning the cartridge as though it were Amazon's or Hewlitt Packard's fault.

All these companies put three drops of ink and charge $1000. Rip off artists because we need it. But I like this ink. It's good if you set your print settings to fastdraft or fastnormal. I got about 500 pages and still went past the low ink warning.



The biggest plus is it's easy to find. - Black Ink - Printer - Inkjet Supplies - Hewlett-packard'

Printer Cable


I recently needed to buy a USB cable for my new printer and I found out that there are many USB cables at very different prices. So, doing a search I found the "Belkin 10FT USBA/USBB Device Cable" but I was not sure if it would work for a printer. Since it was the less expensive I decided to give it a try. I'm happy because the cable works great with my USB printer and I found out that the cable actually exceeds the features displayed on amazon site.The cable manufacturer part number is F3U133-10.With the following features:- Hi-speed data transfer to 480Mbps - 10 FT (3m)- A plug/ B plug- High performance 20-gauge power wires. - USB logo guarantees cables are 100% compliant with current USB specifications (Works with all USB devices A/B plug).- Works with USB 2.0 - Connect a USB 2.0 or 1.X device to your computer.- Belkin lifetime warranty.- Gold plated copper contacts provide maximum conductivity and minimizes data loss.According to the manufacturer site you can connect your USB printer, scanner, hard drive and more to your computer. As I said, it works great with my USB printer.I definitively recommend it because I got the less expensive (good length of 10ft) and great quality option for a USB printer cable. I'm also happy because the cable specifications exceeded my expectations for the money I paid. Belkin F3U133-10 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable (10 Feet)

When I purchased this product I thought I was getting a USB version 1 cable. It turned out to be 2.0. Fortunately the package said it was backward compatible and it was.The book that came with my printer stated I needed a USB cable with a length of no greater than 6 foot, shielded, etc. They should tell you this before you get the printer. Fortunately, the 10 foot cable connected and worked flawlessly. I always try to buy Belkin since they generally have top quality products and good support.

one cannot write poetically about cords, but I can say this is super value. Much less than I saw on the market. Works great, quality is superior to what I was checking out for comparisons, and I was so THRILLED to have the longer length.If you need extra USB cords, this is a good deal.

At $3.99, this is a good price for a name brand USB cable, but only because they tend to dramatically overcharge on their prices. There are no differences with USB cables other than length and the shape of the connectors placed on each end. There are plenty of online retailers that sell USB cables for less than $1.00 and they will work just as fine as any high priced one you may see at BestBuy, CircuitCity, Staples, OfficeMax, Radio Shack, etc. Many of the high priced cables will include gold plated connectors which is just a gimmick, they provide no better connection that those without it. Also USB cables do not have speeds associated with them they way computers and laptops do. There is no such thing as a USB 1.1 or 2.0 cable so if you have an older USB cable when USB 1.1 was the only thing out, it will work perfectly with the newer USB 2.0 technology. They are made exactly the same, you're told you need a newer "high speed" hoping that you'll throw away you perfectly capable current cable and buy the new $40 gold-plated zero-loss oxygen-free cable when you really don't need it. As I said at earlier, $3.99 is a good price for this set, but you can find better if you shop around. If Amazon is the only site you trust buying from, definitely get these.



1-17-2005 Update. At the current price, this is no-longer a good deal.

I bought a new printer on Dell and was going to buy a USB cable from them but when I saw $25 for the cable, I decided to look elsewhere. When I saw this cable on Amazon for such a low price, I was concerned that it wouldn't work with my printer. I received it quickly from Amazon and it worked great. Higly recommend to everyone.

$4 for a USB cable, nowhere except Amazon.com can offer this price. Compared with other local retail stores ($19.99), this is a lot cheaper. The cable is exactly the same as the local stores' USB cable. Worth to buy.

Wow, the price on this USB 2.0 cable is just incredible! It's high-quality, high-speed (USB 2.0), and just all-around excellent.



Plus, it can be used with more than just printers. You can also use it with many external drives (hard disk, DVD drive, CD drive, Zip drive, etc.) that use USB 2.0.



This is the best USB cable to get.'

Iphone 3g Screen Protector - iphone 3g accessories, screen protector


After spending $15 for a package of crystal film covers at the Apple store (I peeled an old, scratched one off the cover, went to use the spare that was included only to find that it had gathered dust and lint under the cover) and ruining the one screen protector that came with my new Speck Candyshell case (it had a piece of lint underneath that caused it to bubble), I figured I would take a chance on these screen protectors as I knew I didn't need anything fancy, just something to keep my keys from scratching my screen in my purse.



It was a great decision. Not only are they cheap, there are 5 of them. They are all packaged individually in their own plastic sleeve (no dust/lint collection from saving them in your desk!) and they all come with a cleaning cloth. I was initially confused by the double layer covers that you peel off the actual screen, but I actually prefer this to a regular screen protector that you peel from the backing only and apply.



I watched a great YouTube video showing you how to apply these types of screen protectors that have the dual backings. If you peel away the first layer as you apply the cover (this way your fingers do not ever have to touch the actual protector since you are touching the backing) and use a credit card to smooth out bubbles as you go, it comes out great. Then you peel off the top layer and it's perfect.



I am really glad I searched for these. Great value for what you get. Also, their customer service is great. Very responsive. 5-Pack Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protector with Lint Cleaning Cloth for Apple iPhone 3G 8GB 16GB [Accessory Export Packaging]

I've never left a review before, but wow! These are incredible! In the three months that I've had my iPhone, I've gone through 2 $24 screen protectors from Best Buy. (They assured me they were top of the line.) After that, I purchased some case mate screen protectors from Wal-Mart. There were three in the pack, and all three had flaws. Some little dot of something or other that prevented the cover from going on smoothly. I finally resorted to one of these that I'd gotten as a free gift from another purchase, and they're AWESOME! No flaws, easy to apply, perfect non-gummy protection. I love them!

Just received these, and was pleasantly surprised. I've worked with one other type of screen protector (the ones you have to cut out yourself), but don't consider myself an expert by any means.



As others have posted, the product comes as 5 separately-packaged screen protectors. I've only opened one so far, and it contained the screen protector and a piece of cloth. The cloth appears useless, so I threw it away.



The screen protector has protective film on both sides, and a tab affixed to each film, labeled 1 and 2. You simply peel off film #1, then apply the screen protector to your iPhone, then peel off film #2. Again, I'm not an expert by any means, but it worked perfectly for me on the first try. Here's what I did:



- First, I cleaned my iPhone screen completely, using the cloth that came with my phone.

- I positioned the phone horizontally on a table in front if me, so that the top of the phone was on my left, and the bottom of the phone on my right.

- I peeled off film #1, and holding it lightly by the edges with both hands, aligned the top of the film with the top of the phone, without letting it actually touch the screen yet

- Then I started with the top of the phone (my left hand), and set the first inch or so of the film down onto the phone, while keeping the rest of the protector off the surface with my right hand.

- I rubbed the bubbles out of the top section using my left hand, and then lifted my right hand up slightly and brought it towards my left a little. This curved the screen protector, and I was able to then lay it down on the phone moving slowly towards the bottom of the phone in a smooth, even manner.



Hope that makes sense, but I think the key was having the protector bend a little so that it laid down uniformly from side to side. When I was done, I just rubbed a few bubbles out of the very bottom of the phone and it was nearly perfect.



I don't see any of the rainbow effect mentioned by another reviewer, and this protector doesn't interfere with my case (CaseCrown) because my case covers the top edges of the phone. So, overall very satisfied with the protector, and should get a lot of mileage out of them since I have 4 more to use.



P.S. Those who complained about bits of glue being left behind may have tried to remove the tab from the outer film, when in fact you are supposed to remove the entire sheet of protective film using the tab. This could also explain the rainbow effect some have seen, if they inadvertently left the top layer of protective film on the screen protector.

Because you will have to try several times and waste couple protectors before having it on perfectly. The quality of the 5 protectors is not the same. The first one I tried gave me lots of air bubbles. The second protector itself is OK, but the small tab on the protector was hard to remove. It left a very visible glue goo on it. I finally had some luck with the third one, very few bubble, and small glue goo mark. The positive side is that they are so less expensive, as long as one of those protectors is good, you are OK. - Screen Protector - Iphone 3g - Screen Protectors - Iphone 3g Accessories'
