Summary: Writeright wrong for me
Review: I bought a Handspring Prism earlier in the week and decided that I would skip the extra 25.00 for 12 sheets of plastic. Then I reconsidered and went back today and bought them against my initial judgement. My honest reaction-YUCK! Why can't they make them clear so that they don't interfere with the display. I am not worried about glare. I had a basic Visor before the Prism and it was hard enough to see the screen as it is. Why can't the background on these be standard PDA's be WHITE not GREEN. I will not buy these covers again. In fact, I am looking for someone to take them off my hands. Why do the simplest things cost so much and rarely TRANSFORM the users experience.I'll not make the same mistake twice.

Summary: Pretty Good Overall
Review: I bought these and put them on my Visor Deluxe right after I pulled it out of the box. I really wanted to protect the screen of my first ever PDA, especially knowing that I would probably be using who-knows-what (finger, pen cap, etc.) as a pointing device. My first two attempts to put these on ended in frustration because of it either being put on upside-down or with tons of air bubbles. By the third attempt I was getting better.First of all, these things last far more than a month. I have had my Visor for nearly a year and still have 4 left. And 4 of the others were either excessively abused or I didn't apply them right. I have stretched them up to 4 months at a time and they would still look quite good. As for screen clarity, there is a small sacrifice there. I never knew what my Visor screen truly looked like until a month when I tried again to use a CompanionLink screen protector and noticed how much clearer the display was. But I took the CompanionLink protector off because my Visor's stylus recognition seemed to greatly suffer and the CompanionLink protector, while clearer, added lines to the display and was otherwise cheap. And the glare with those things on was horrible. I would rather have a slightly fuzzier display with a little less contrast than not be able to read the screen because of glare and annoying lines caused by a cheaper screen protector. The WriteRights really do improve graffiti recognition and reduce glare significantly. And they do their primary job as a screen protector quite well, too. I still don't have even a single scratch on my screen. And some tips for applying the screen protector without air bubbles, and this goes for any brand. Of course, make sure that your screen is spotless. Following the instructions on the WriteRights will go a long way, but I found that I just initially align and apply the small portion of screen protector that is exposed at first and just use the card that comes with it to do the entire rest of the process. I move the card forward accross the protector in short strokes to cover both sides of the protector and also peel the protector from its backing just using the motion of the card. Within 30 seconds or so the protector is on the screen completely without air bubbles. I tried this with the CompanionLink protectors with the same results (although those things are still terrible).

Summary: Okay screen clarity on Visor Deluxe, Awful on Prism
Review: I bought these because I was worried about scratching my screen and because I was frustrated with graffiti recognition. On my Visor Deluxe screen, clarity was only reduced slightly-not enough to be bothersome. Left-handers, like myself, have a tough time with graffiti recognition, so I was hoping the protectors would help. They increased graffiti recognition dramatically. I no longer consider having to purchase a portable keyboard. The screen protectors are textured, so it is much easier to write. I don't press as hard, so have less worry about scratching the screen. I give the screen protectors 4 stars for the Visor Deluxe. But, I can not rate them that highly since switching to the Visor Prism. On the color screen of the Prism, the protectors create too much screen distortion to be useful. It's like trying to peer through a frosted, stained-glass window. Unfortunately, removing the protector brought me back to painstakingly slow graffiti writing. My solution has been to cut the screen protector to the size of the writing area at the bottom of the screen. This leaves the viewing area of the screen unobscured, but also leaves it unprotected from scratches. I give the screen protectors 2 stars for the Visor Prism because of the increased graffiti recognition and because I am unhappy that I have to worry about scratching the screen. My overall 3 stars falls between the Visor Deluxe:4 stars and Prism:2 stars

Summary: Forget this unless you're extremely careless
Review: I bought this item and stopped using it because it reduces the clarity of the screen image. It also seems to make the screen less sensitive for writing. As for protection, I've used my Palm for 3 months without using the protectors and have not scratched the surface. I don't believe you can scratch the surface with the stylus unless you're extremely careless. I do keep the plastic cover on the unit, and I have bought the case made out of wetsuit material. Any scratches are likely to come from something other than the stylus, in my opinion, so the cover and a case are important items.

Summary: Buy these at time of PDA purchase
Review: I didn't buy these immediately after buying my Visor, so now my Graffiti area is lightly scratched from one week of use by my stylus. The texture that the WriteRights provide is much nicer than the regular screen, the visibility is enhanced by the glare reduction, and the protection for the screen (which must last the life of the the PDA) is invaluable. The [price] was well worth it.

Summary: Great invention for lazy Palm users
Review: I don't think there is a single Palm user out there who hasn't used his/her finger on the screen at one time or another. Or a pen cap, or some other non-stylus instrument. If the preceding describes you, then you need this product. These adhesive overlays fit over the screen area of your Palm and provide excellent protection from scratches, fingerprints, ink, and dust. While you do lose a bit of clarity, it is offset by the loss of screen flare from a bright light source and in any event, the loss in clarity is so insignificant that it is hardly noticeable. Some reviewers have mentioned a loss of sensitivity/accuracy with graffiti or tapping but I haven't. If anything, my graffiti has improved since using the overlays. While the official description says each Writeright lasts about a month, the actual time depends on how heavily you use the stylus and where you keep the Palm, but generally each overlay lasts longer than a month. For instance, if you keep it in a pocket without a zippered case, the lint buildup gets fairly heavy in a short amount of time and you may find yourself using more than one overlay a month.

Summary: Good product, though a bit pricey
Review: I figured i'd buy a pack of these when I bought my Palm III so I wouldnt risk sratching my new gizmo. As they claim they most definitly do: -Protect from scratches -Reduce Glare -Improve Graffiti recognition But as a downside, they do tend to make the screen a little harder to see in dim light. I think they are worthwile, though, and you should definitley buy them, unless you very rarley use your palm. P.S. DONT touch the adhesive part of the film, because little crud particles get stuck below the film and they are annoying to look at for a month. Recommendation: Buy

Summary: If I could see the screen
Review: I figured I'de buy these to protect the screen after a friend recommended them. I recieved them yesterday and applied them as instructed. The display is so hard to read now, it ruins any anti-glare/protection value. If you don't mind holding your visor to your nose to read it, then by all means, buy these, but if the idea of a translucent matte finished pad obscuring your handsprings screen sounds unappealing, save your money

Summary: practical
Review: I have been using my writeright screen protector for over 6 months now, on my visor. There are definite benefits and draw backs. It definitely protects the screen well from a variety of insults; e.g. scratches, water, fingerprints, penmarks, etc. All of which I have experienced...and survived. Often times, I would bypass the hassle of taking out my stylus and just use my fingernails to scratch on data without fear of affecting my screen. Also, as advertised, glare is reduced. However, it does take the shine and glimmer out of your view. The visor already has a slight duller display (in my opinion) than the palm display, this did not help my "shinny screen envy." When the protector is on, not only is screen duller, the displayed image does seen just a tad bit dimmer. Nevertheless, I feel the clarity and resolution of the overall image is not significantly reduced. So, if you can accept the loss of some sheen and glitter, this accessory is a very practical tool. I, for one, has opted for the practical over the stylish.

Summary: Three words: Just say no!
Review: I have had my IIIc for about a month now, and I love the little thing. It's a great tool, and I can't imagine how I'd get along without it. I carry it with me everywhere. Since it's become an integral part of my life, I thought I'd by some WriteRights to protect the screen. I had to do a bit of running around to find WriteRights for the IIIc. These are supposed to be specially designed for color screens. When I finally found a store that had them, I was surprised to see that 12 clear rectangles of plastic, slightly thicker than a piece of paper, cost $20. But I decided to buy them, as I thought that it would be worth it to protect my Palm. I made three attempts to get the little buggers on my screen. Each time there was a problem: it was crooked, or upside down (what genius put that little advertisement on the bottom of these things?) or otherwise messed up. Finally, on the fourth try, it went. I used the "included squeege tool" (what a joke) to flatten the WriteRight, and turned on my Palm. It was a disaster! First the screen: It looks grainy. The white areas are pixelated with red and green, and everything looked blurry. It was like trying to read the screen with glasses of the wrong prescription. If you've ever looked at a polarized sticker - where the image changes when it's viewed from different angles - you have an idea of how the screen will look. Also, brightness was definitely effected. I had to turn it all the way up for the screen to be usable - and you know what that does to battery life. Next, screen sensitivity. It was shot. I do a lot of on-screen work - not graffiti, and trying to select anything smaller than a large app. icon was almost impossible. Drawing a "line" with the brush tool in TealPaint created a jagged, four-pixel-wide monstrosity. As for writing graffiti itself - have you ever tried to write on the wrong side of a yellow sticky? Ugh. Frankly, if I hadn't messed up three of these things trying to get them on, I'd take them back today. Not worth the money, or the effort, or the time. Just say "No!" to Fellowes WriteRights.
