So you like WriteRights better. I've been a big WriteRight fan for
years with all manners of PDA's but it seems that they've gone thru
several "texturizing" generations where the texture to the protector
really does obscure the screen not only though "fogging" but creating
moire patterns, etc. So I thought to got to NuShield (Barrier). A
friend tells me they really distort the screen way less. But -- the
linting you mention, is this a large problem?? I cannot find anything
other than the NuShield for eMate protection -- so I will go with that,
but can you simply expand on your reasoning for preferring WriteRights
over NuShield??
Thanks.
Whatever the result -- I feel that screen protection is a must. (They
aren't going to make any more Newtons for us, I fear...)
