Protect your PDA screen, D.I.Y. style

		Follow These Simple Steps

1. Using your scissors or penknife, cut a sheet from the plastic wrapper that's slightly smaller than the size of your PDA screen. It is difficult to make a straight cut without the help of a template and ruler. So what you can do is actually to first draw the size of your PDA's screen on a piece of paper, and use that as a guide when you cut out your sheet.

2. Clean your PDA screen throughly by spraying with monitor cleaner and wiping clean using a lint-free cloth or cleaning wipe.
   Tip: Although static cling helps your plastic sheet to stick to the screen, don't wipe the screen completely dry. The sheet sticks better if the display is slightly damp.

3. Begin sticking the plastic sheet to your screen starting from the bottom left corner and gently applying the rest to the display.
   Tip: Do not place the sheet on the screen all at once because that tends to trap huge air bubbles.

4. Use a credit/ATM card to swipe over your screen to remove the air bubbles trapped between the sheet and the screen during installation.

Of course, if you're too lazy to cut your own plastic sheets, you can purchase various screen protectors at stores in Sim Lim Square or Funan the IT Mall. Depending on the brand, a pack can costs between S$10 and S$30. Some of the more popular screen protectors commercially available include Fellowes Write Right Screen Overlays, Securer screen protector and Martin Fields Overlay Plus. Some packages also include cleaning wipes and a card to help with installation.
