WOW! THANKS! I'm going to have to order some of these!
Maybe that will keep the women and girls from the other tables in
a restaurant from making fun of my "medical finger cots", which
look EXACTLY like condoms for a 12-year-old, I'm using now!
"I'm just trying to keep the screen of my Nokia N800 clean of
fingerprints." just makes the laughter and chortling go crazy.

Not NEAR so much fun as the finger cots is to buy latex page
turner thimbles from an office supply store....LOTS cheaper, too!
A word on "screen protectors", the MOST expensive tiny pieces of
flat plastic on the PLANET......
After seeing the $25 price tag Office Max had on a couple of
"screen savers" for PDAs, I was cruising around looking for some
obscure office products and ran upon plastic "document
protectors" from Avery. The cheapest was about $4 (barcoded
77711-74301) Avery STM10, marked "Bound", which means all the
sheets are connected together by a ring binder keeper to keep
them together even with no ring binder.
I laid a paper template of the Nokia N800 screen on the paper
cutter board Office Max lets us use in the printing/copying
department and cut the whole stack of sheets at once with this
huge knife edge like butter on a hot day. They came out perfect
and, by design, a tiny bit larger than the Nokia N800 screen.
I took ONE of the 250 or so "screen protectors" I made for $4,
licked one side of it against the stamp licker wet sponge to get
some water film on it and carefully stuck it to the Nokia
touchscreen. PERFECT! It overlaps under the edge of the metal
front just barely so you cannot tell it's even there, once you
use your finger to work the air bubbles out of the film between
the protector and screen. The stylus and finger input work as if
it were bare! The plastic film is just a tiny bit non-glare
without distorting the picture from the movie playing over Orb
from the Windows box at home which even IMPROVES the visual
experience without so much glare!
I'm going to try an even less glare different model next time.
I've got enough protectors cut from $4 of sheet protectors to
last me into the 22nd century...now...(c;
$25 my ass.....
Makes some for your iphones! Works great!
