Michael,
NuShields are cut specifically to fit under the screen under all four
sides. We used to have them shorter, but dust and dirt would collect in
the space that was not under the screen and cause more problems. You
need to install them with the side wings first and just a bit lower than
the center of the screen. Then slide one end that is sitting against the
screen up under the top or bottom screen edge and repeat with the other
side. As for haziness, we are using a film that we could obtain that
works for both Palm and Newton devices. The original film we had was a
bit clearer, but caused Newton rings (after Sir Isaac) on the screen.
Given our size at the time, this is the best we could do. We are much
larger now, and we are looking for another supplier. It is true as some
have mentioned that any space between the film and the screen will cause
interference and block light. They need to settle in a few hours to
minimize this.
