I’m reviewing the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal Screen Protector for the Nokia N95 8GB. I carry my phone in my pocket, so having a screen protector makes sure that anything else in my pocket does not scratch the screen. If you go though plenty of phones like me, you want to make sure that the screen is mint when selling it later.

The Boxwave Cleartouch crystal came with the screen protector, lint-free cloth, and an applicator (a 2×1in. hard paper).

Putting It On

It’s not as easy as it seems. I guarantee you that it will take you more than one try.

You really need to make sure there are no dust or small particles on the adhesive AND the screen. It creates bubbles that will not go away. It is worse if dust or tiny specks got caught in the adhesive side of the screen protector because it is harder to remove.

Fortunately, the adhesive on the Cleartouch is washable and reusable. I had to wash mine because dust got caught in there and I had to remove it. Once it dried, I tried again and no bubbles appeared.

Display

Without the bubbles, you won’t realize the screen protector is there. There is also another version called the Anti-Glare, but I opted for clarity instead. The one I purchased for the Nokia N95 8GB was also a perfect fit, covering the entire surface of the screen.

Protection

I purchased it for peace of mind knowing the real screen won’t get scratched. When it’s time to sell my phone to replace for a newer and better one, I’ll take off the screen protector and take pictures of the beautiful undamaged 2.8 inch display on the Nokia N95 8GB.

Service

I’m happy with the product, but really disappointed with the service. I ordered on Boxwave on the 19th with 2nd Day delivery. I emailed them on the 24th that I have not received it yet. I have not received any email replies yet, but received the package on the 27th. Update: I received a reply this afternoon shortly after this post was published that I will be given refund of the shipping cost.

Verdict

I had to wait at least a week for a second day delivery and I have not received a reply about my complaint. I would say stay away from Boxwave and try a screen protector from another company.
