Proporta’s screen protectors have become a staple food of the mobile industry over the last years, protecting thousands of screens (including the one of my trusty Treo 680). The recent rebranding also hit the screen protectors…are they still cool?

Large white envelopes have signaled the arrival of Proporta-branded goods in the past (shipping via UK)…these can be delivered to letter boxes and generally work well.

The blister saw a minor redesign, putting the installation instructions on the flip side instead of onto an extra piece of paper:

Its contents are the same as always – but they were completely rebadged with sentences stating their purpose in a tongue-in-cheek fashion:

Applying the screen protector is as easy or difficult as ever. Fortunately, the foils can be removed a few times…which makes putting them in place easier.

Writing on the screen has a paper-like touch…

In the end, the Advanced Screen Protector remain at their high level they had over the last 5 years – they are sturdy and minimize reflections. Unfortunately for them, screen technology and screen protectors have evolved in this time. The X1’s pixel pitch is so small that the display is very close to your eyes…and this is where the slight grain gets annoying (especially with small fonts).

Most PocketPC’s will work perfectly well with Proporta’s current screen protectors. People who want to get the absolute most of their XPERIAs screen must make a judgment call between protection and low reflectivity(which can be had here) and low grain(which must be sought elsewhere)….
