Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty much the same as WriteRights.
Review: I also bought these, reading the first two reviews thinking i would get a clear look on my Palm m505. Unfortunately, these overlays are also "embossed" just like the WriteRights, reducing the clarity of the M505s color screen.

These are definately a better buy than the WriteRights though: The overlay sheets are identical, and with the Belkin you get a little piece of cleaning cloth + they are much cheaper.

Summary: One Star Is Too Generous
Review: This is the first Palm-specific product that I would not recommend. It is unclear how many mils thick the product is when applied, but it protects the screen so well that a stylus cannot be used. (It might even protect as well than the blast-resistant window film we use in our embassies and consulates. At least it doesn't have air bubbles when applied.) That may be useful for those who exclusively use a keyboard and simply want to protect the screen. However, as a practical matter it renders the Palm useless for other input methods. The package indicated the product was originally intended for Palm III and Palm V products and subsequently repackaged for M500's, so it should come as no surprise that screen coverage is incomplete (albeit not horribly so). One always takes a risk when purchasing on-line without checking, yet this is my all-time low with Amazon. At least the price didn't break the bank, although I'd have rather have the money to buy a half-dozen more grande lattes!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bit on the blurry side
Review: Well, after reading the other reviews I decided to TRY these out against my better judgement. You can write just fine with the overlay applied. There is no problem at all on my M505. However, seeing the screen is a bit tough. Not sure what type of materials they use, but I would think they could find something a bit more transparent. I would recommend that you do NOT buy these overlays. The lack of clarity is reason enough. Application was a breeze though... :)
