I'm extremely pleased with my N900 screen protector.
I have a DuraSec screen protector on my N810, and was happy with it, but I thought I'd try a protector with a less "squidgy" feel for my N900.
I ordered the Qubits Hybrid Armour
Soft Touch Case with Screen Protector
from Amazon UK. The total cost for the case and screen protector (including shipping!) was only £3.40. It arrived two days later.
It comes with an anti-static dust cloth which worked really well for cleaning the screen prior to application. Positioning on the screen protector was much easier than the DuraSec (or maybe I was just lucky).
The screen protector has a great feel (smooth but not slippery) and I don't notice any reduction in sensitivity whether using finger or stylus. It has small cutouts around all the sensors and also around the little NOKIA bezel.
Included in the price is a two-part plastic "soft touch" case. The top part clips around the screen, protecting the sides of the screen and providing a raised bezel effect (but the bezel doesn't go right up to the display area so it doesn't have the problems of the N8x0 bezels). The bottom part clips around the keyboard with cutouts for all the sockets and controls.
Before I had this case I was worried about getting out the phone when walking along, in case I dropped it. The case gives much better grip and I'm not at all concerned now. There are two small downsides though. First, it adds a millimetre of thickness (maybe even 1.5mm) but only at the front. At the back, it doesn't make it as thick as the existing camera protruberance. Second, when you open the keyboard, the presense of the top half of the case slightly reduces the "free space for fat fingers" above the top row of keys. I don't find this a problem, but for some people it might be a slight inconvenience.
Even if you just use the screen protector and not the case, it's a pretty good price.
Regards,
Roger
