I recently became the proud owner of a Sprint HTC Touch, and as such I wanted to protect the screen from getting scratched up. But my not-so-fat wallet protested at the $20 for commercial screen protectors.
I mean, it is plastic right? $20 is a lot in my opinion. But even if you do go that route, it is still cheap insurance. I chose to find my own way, and I came across this article on instructables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-your-own-screen-protector./
I added my own spin on things, since I didn’t want to use the soapy water solution.
After placing the tape, I used a credit card to smooth it from one end to the other to lay it down while removing air bubbles. Worked out pretty well.
After its placed its just a simple step of cutting the excess off…
And that is it. You just protected your gadget for free (if you had the tape laying around like I did).
I hope this helps some of you. With today’s economy, we need more tips like these.
