Should I get the Hori Screen Filter or the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal?
I hear good things about both, and that the boxwave ones are better.
Thanks!!!

Bump. I'd like to know too.
How much do the Boxwave's cost?
I have the Horis and really like them. No experience with the Boxwave's (never heard of them even.)

Here's (http://www.boxwave.com/products/cleartouchcrystal/cleartouch-crystal-screen-protector-nintendo-ds-lite_1272.htm) the info on the Boxwave ones. They are $12.95.

You know, everyone buys import protectors and I don't understand why. I bought a Nakiworld kit from EB and the screen protectors that it came with were just fine. They fit perfectly I had no problems with air bubbles, and they were not the sticky kind. They are also very clear. I just don't understand.

Can't find that Nakiworld kit online for pictures. Are you saying that the protector is a vinyl rub or a hard plastic pop-in?

They are sticky but can be removed with no residue. I had to remove it and realign it and I had no problems.
Have you read this thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96817) ?
I have encountered this residue problem myself with Hori screen protector.
But many people said that they've never seen any problem with it.
But please note that I bought mine since the DSL launch time, so it is possible that I might get the defective one.

Super saving shipping was $2.45. I chose priority, which was $4.95. My total was $11.45.
Please tell us if you also have the residue problem with Hori.

blah decal girl doesn't take amex
I wouldn't go with the Boxwave's over the Hori's myself because it looks like they are a company that makes a general purpose screen protector for all kinds of things with screens, and they just cut that gen. purpose protector to fit the DSL. The Horis are designed for the DSL touch screen. It may be a load of BS, but they are also cheaper and generally regarded as the best, so why go with a one size fits all protector for more money?
So I'd say you made the right choice.

I've only used Hori, and I haven't had problems with them. I've seen them for sale at Fry's for $6 and sometimes at best buy they have an official nintendo stylus pack which has the hori protectors and 2 stylus for $10

CDUniverse.com sells the Hori (non-import w/ English text) for $7.65 + $3.99 shipping = $11.64 and they take Amex. GCO available.

Bought them a few months back. Too lazy and haven't applied them to the lite yet so I can't vouch if the residue issue exists. Not that I would pull it up anyway if it aligns properly just to see.
