    TopCop1988 is right, this is the one that many use but if you do go with the cheaper one please come back and let us know if it was any good.

    The ScreenPatronus product is a good one - with one caveat. They advertise different sizes for a CF-29 and CF-30 and emphasize the importance of getting the correct size. I had a bad protector on a CF-30 and one of their new ones for a CF-29. They said I needed the one for the CF-30. I now have a new and bad one for a CF-30 and a new one for a CF-29 -- all identical. Lay all three down on top of each other and the eye can't see any difference at all.

    ya i figured i mean its the same size screen. just the hardware is different.

    as far as protectors go, they may be the same or it may be different quality. for example the cheapo protectors for phones are very very thin, i bought bodyguardz and invisible sheild. the invisible shield and bg are thicker.

    but i enjoyed the FEEL of the bg version moreso. so i go with them from now on. if you are using the stylus obviously the FEEL does not matter :)

    so i got the protector, packaged well. on the edges is where the adhesive is, you simply remove the 4 adhesive protectors and then place it on the screen. it is removable as well. but by removing it and putting it back you can get dust on the adhesive.

    I just put a Screenpatronus on my CF-52. It fit like a glove but I still have small bubbles here and there (not from dust) even after smoothing with a credit card. I'm hoping they will disappear over the next few days.

    no bubbles on this protector. mine was $15, i guess the difference between the others and this is the entire protector is adhesive vs on mine the 4 sides only, so you can obviously tell there is a protector on it.
