The cheapest and best screen protectors you can make

[Trinity]

Hey, is anyone fed up with the price of WriteRight screen protectors, well I was, so as I was thinking of ways to make a screen protector I came up with the following:

-Take a trading card protector that goes in a 3 ring binder and clean the plastic.
-Cut a rectangular section of the card holder off from the rest
-Then cut about an 1/8 to 1/4 off the bottom of that rectangular section of plastic
-Then take off your writeright and faceplate and clean up the screen and under the faceplate
-Then lay the rectangular section of plastic you cut away on the palm
-Clip the faceplate back in place and wa la! You have a 25 cent or less screen protector that works well as long as you don't push outragiously hard on it!

Hope everyone who reads this finds it helpful!

sounds like a good idea but don't you get allot of dust and lint behind there? my palm lives in my pocket and tends to collect allot of dust

as long as you clean all the surface before you put the sheet in there you fine. In fact, I have my palm at school, so in order to not get in trouble, it resides in my pocket a lot during the day:( and I have had no problem! But for all the people that say a palm shouldn't be just left in a pocket, i do use it a lot after school!

You can also cut to size the plastic sheets used for overhead projections. You can get quite a few protectors out of one sheet.
The edges slip under the edge of the face plate to hold the protector in place and you don't get dust underneath the protector. One of these lasts me at least three months.

yeah, that overhead material is the same stuff, but it works better if ya squeze the stuff between the faceplate and the palm:D
