Very effective, but a nightmare to apply!

Bedifol UltraClear screen protectors (quantity: 6) for Samsung i900 Omnia

These protective films appear to be very effective. They're a bit like a thinner, much stronger version of the film that covers the screen and the back of the Omnia as part of the standard product packaging.

When correctly installed the Bedifol protective film is, to all intents and purposes, totally invisible. It also doesn't seem to affect the sensitivity or response of the Omnia's touch screen.

...But I found them very tricky to apply.

The protective films come with a backing sheet to protect the 'adhesive' side of the film - a bit like sticky-back plastic. Three protective films are supplied on each of two sheets of the backing material. First, it's necessary to cut one film and it's backing sheet away from the others. After thoroughly cleaning the screen of the phone, you have to peel back part of the film from it's backing sheet and correctly locate it on the screen. This is the tricky bit. There's a hole in the film that has to be positioned over the front camera lens and the edge of the film has to exactly line-up with the edge of the screen. If you fail to achieve the correct accuracy of the initial position, the long edge of the film will not line-up with the far end of the screen once the film is installed.

It can be done, but it isn't at all easy.

Meantime, you have to avoid actually touching the screen or the adhesive side of the film otherwise you may have your fingerprints 'protected' by the film until the next time you replace it!

Finally, you need to slowly pull back the backing material and press the film onto the screen as the adhesive side is progressively exposed by the removal of the backing material.

I'm happy with the final result, but it's a mighty fiddly job that needs good eyes, lots of patience and a very steady hand. The manufacturers say that the film will usually need to be replaced after about four months use. By the time I get to use the sixth one, maybe I'll be more competent at it than I am now!

If you know a brain or heart surgeon you may be better off asking him or her to do it for you.

Best player on the market

Bought this a couple of days of go for a bargain £39:99, after seeing it in the high street for £89! This is the slimmest, sexiest bit of kit you can own, wipes the floor with an i pod for a smidgen of the price. Easy to use menus, massive 4Gb storage (80 albums uncompressed). Drawn wows from everyone I've showed it to. Its also cheaper on Amazon than the 2Gb version. What are you waiting for!

Excellent

I was a bit worried about the quality of this product as it was so cheap. I couldn't find it cheaper on the local market!

But it was excellent and delivered quickly too
