I guess I should chime in here since I'm NuShield's father. To answer
your questions:
1. If you are experiencing HWR problems its probably an installation
issue. The NuShield should lay flat on the screen. This will improve
with time as the trapped air slowly leaves the space between the screen
and the film. If after a few days you are still experiencing this, check
the corners of the film by removing it and see if they are bent. If so,
they are preventing the film from laying flat on the screen. Straighten
the corners and reinstall.
2-4. This is an issue with any screen protector. WriteRights and
NuShields both use a roughened surface to enhance writing feel and HWR.
NuShields surface is a very light layer and is what gives it its
durability (4X longer in my experience than WriteRights). The rough
layer will cause some diminished light transmittance from the screen.
Its a tradeoff, better durability and feel vs. clarity.
5. Again, this is an installation issue. When properly installed, it
will fit under all sides of the screen. There is a 1 mm insertion at the
top and bottom of the screen case, so its a bit touchy to get it just
right. See #1 above as this can be the cause of many installation ills.
If we made them larger, that would make installation tricky, again, a
tradeoff.
6. This is again an installation issue. You apparently don't have the
NuShield under case properly. Once done, lint can't get in since the
case is effectively sealed. Please check #1 for this common problem.
