Has anyone tried the EXiM SPUC screen protectors available on Ebay? I would like to protect mine and my wife's phones (Nokia N95 and Samsung D900) as my last phone looks like the surface of the moon (well almost ).

The EXiM's are tempting because they appear to use static to grip rather than gum but would anyone recommend them or anything else?

Thanks in advance, all advice welcome

I've heard of Martin Fields ones which are also available on eBay, these ones are reusbale/washable but pricey at £7 or more. Google 'Martin Fields screen protectors N95' for a look.

Now what case are N95 users using please. I bought a cheap plastic one in the interim for 99p on eBay but want something more in fitting with the calibre of the phone. I always have a Kruselllcase but would like to try something different

Thanks, I'll have a look at those in a bit.

I'm looking at cases too. I just popped in to CP Warehouse to look at cases. They sell the Bodyglove cases for the N95 but were out of stock They said they sell out very quickly as there is currently high demand. The guy there said he thinks they are about £12.95.

I'm trying to find the Nokia CP-191 case but no one appears to have it. It doesn't even come up on Nokia UK online shop

I'd like one that lets you access all the ports and the slider so a lot of the cheap ones on Ebay are no good and the rest look low quality. I'll let you know if I see anything decent anywhere.

Thanks for that, I'll pop into CPW tomorrow to see what they have. Again I've googled the Bodyglove and someone is selling them for £4.90 with £2.95 p+p.

Expansys.com has the carry case for the CP 191 for £14.95

I bought one of the Martin Fields screen protectors and have thrown it away! It wouldn't go on without bubbling and looked a mess!

Same here, they look awful.

I'm sending mine back- they were incredibly bad.

Ta for that. Looks like they will have stock shortly so I may give it a go if I don't find anything else.

I may well give the EXiMs a go too as I have a nasty vision of the screen getting scratched soon Might help if I don't shove it in my pocket all the time.

I'm now thinking of getting a car holder to use the GPS more often...

and a 4Gb mem card.

(This could get expensive)

I have brought these a copple of times and never had a problem getting them on. I found getting the backing plastic off hard but once onthey look great.

I have a Martin Fields protector on my Vario II, and it's the best one I've ever seen. Can't even tell it's there.
Takes a bit of care and effort to apply, but definitely worth it.
