Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I take it back!
Review: I only got 4 usable protectors out of this. The other 8 are too small for a IIIxe.

This does NOT have a 12 month supply for a Palm III. It has a 4 month supply for 3 different units (including a CE machine).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Something they forgot to tell you. . .
Review: I ordered this kit expecting to find 12 WriteRights that would custom fit my PDA. Turns out that, in an effort to be one size fits all, there are only FOUR WriteRights that will fit (a little misleading, I think). What the kit really contains is four WriteRights for Palms Pilot, III, VII, IBM WorkPad (C series), and Handspring Visor; four for Palm V; and four for CE devices. Otherwise, I think it's a great kit.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good product, but misleading
Review: Overall this is a pretty good thing to buy for your Palm. Especially if you are sick of all those fingerprints on your screen! But, the writeright screen protecters are great for graffiti recognition but decrease screen readability by 10 fold. But, if you just cut them to fit the graffiti area they are great! And also note that there are not 12 writerights there are four for Palms, four for just the Palm V, and four for CE divices. The BrainWASH concept is great and makes your screen look like new! Enjoy and note the great price here on Amazon!

Summary: Feels better than standard screen
Review: The IIIxe screen feels like I'm dragging my stylus across plastic-wrap, this product feels like I'm actually writing on paper. The screen protection is a great bonus. I've only used one, and apparently (from reading other reviews) this comes with different sizes... Hmm, I'll have to look again. Pretty sure I can cut them to fit tho. The pen cap-stylus things are about useless. Just my humble opinion tho.

Summary: Only FOUR WriteRights for YOUR PDA
Review: The product description correctly states that the package includes 12 WriteRight screen protectors, but it doesn't tell you that there are 4 each of 3 different styles -- so only 4 of the 12 will fit any given PDA. Given how expensive these are, this is quite misleading.

That's unfortunate, because otherwise these are very good products. I've got a scratch on my Palm IIIx that would have been prevented if I'd had a WriteRight on it at the time (caused by a tiny bit of dirt I never saw but only felt as it scraped across the screen). They give a nice writing feel, although it is different from the bare screen and so takes a little getting used to. The stylus pen caps are great -- and more economical than the fancy pen/stylus combos you can get. If you keep one on the wrong end of the pen while you're doing something that requires you to switch often between pen and stylus, it's very quick to just flip the pen over. (For example, while writing checks and recording them in your PDA, or just using its calculator to balance a paper check register.) Also, they glow in the dark, which isn't actually that useful, but it looks cool! (I guess if you use your PDA a lot in the dark it would help you find your pen if you dropped it.)

I would rate this product at four stars if it came with 12 WriteRights that actually fit one PDA. If they fix the description, I would raise it to two stars for no longer being misleading, but no higher, because I still think it's a bad idea to expect people to pay for 12 of something when only 4 of them are usable. (I suppose they're all usable if one owns 3 different PDA's, but such people -- or even households -- are surely a small minority of PDA accessory purchasers.)
