yes I did.it works fine.But you must be really careful when you do that its not easy to cut the pretocter in the right size then to put it on.Wont be easy but try it anyway i bought palm screen saver there were 6 in the packege and i had to use 4 of them just for to find the best size and I did it fifth time i tried. |

hi just thought i'd add, the dimensions to cut to are 6.3 x 4.05cm. When applying u may find it helps to remove the flip cover first.

Don`t try to cut to measurements as the sides need to be curved for a good fit,
The CORRECT way to cut a larger protector down to size is to carefully make an accurate template from card, & only when its a perfect fit do you use it to draw round (that way you can make loads of perfect fitting protectors from one template). when you draw around it it comes out a little bigger so it can tuck in a little, (also fit it with the flip hinge cover removed as recomended in a previous post).
UK users can get them from Argos (WriteRIGHTS).

No i think i`ll continue to buy ipaq writerights from the reduced bin at Staples office supplies, £7.50 for TEN, or Argos stores £14.99 for TEN.
Thats 75p to £1.50 each compaired to £7 plus each at Expansys. |

Screen protectors are`nt rocket science, they are all made of the same stuff, some are sticky, some are not sticky, after that it`s purely a matter of size.
Some companies make stupid claims about how they improve the device, thats a load of crap, don`t pay silly money for them guys.just get cheap ones & replace them about once every 5 to 8 weeks. |

I have to disagree... I've tried a lot of different screen protectors in the past... and ok, fine, they're all made out of plastic... but Brando's are so far, the best in terms of protection, durability, & texture.
mcruz... how are the P800 protectors of Brando? I got a Brando for the iPaq and just cut it myself. How do the P800 ones look? Are they curved along the side as well? |

Brando screen protector for P800 works like a charm though it is expensive .. . about Singapore Dollars 20 (US$12) for a single piece!! But it is very good since i have used it before on my Clie T615. |

I`m sure it would be wise for SE to recommend using them in the user guide, even if they don`t want to include them in the box, as alot of buyers may be under the impression that it`s just a glass screen (as referred to on page 13 in the user guide) & treat it accordingly. |
