CAGiversary!
I'm slightly annoyed right now, so this is probably a bit more of a rant than a review, but here goes anyway...
Yesterday, I bought 2 Pelican screen protector kits for the DS at Circuit city, since they were on sale for $4.99. I bought 2 because I figured that there would be a 50/50 chance of my screwing up putting one on, and also even if I didn't, I'd have an extra one down the road if/when I need to replace it.
The first protector: yeah, I screwed it up. I cleaned the screen carefully, took the protective backing off, slapped it down on the screen and voila - 2 huge dust spots. I tried taking it off and cleaning it, but that only make the problem worse. Well, this is what I bought 2 kits for, right? Kit 2 went on without a problem, so I was good to go. Or so I thought...
Each kit comes with 2 replacement styluses (styli?), so I now have 4. One is broken when I take it out of the package (the top 'clip' that holds it in the DS isn't attached.) I take a second one and put it in the DS to see if it fits. Its quite snug, which is good because my old stylus kept falling out. I take it out and - the top pops off, leaving the rest of it jammed in the DS. 5 minutes and 1 paperclip later, I'm back in business.
I fire up Yoshi's Touch and Go (which I bought at the same time. Fun game, desperately needs a story mode.) I play it for about an hour, and when I turn it off, I notice that the screen protector is scrached to hell and back. I've been using my DS since Christmas without a protector and the screen is perfect - one hour with the protector and its trashed. I don't know if its the fault of the protector or the new stylus, but it doesn't really matter at this point.
At this point I simply peeled the protector off and trashed the whole thing, styluses and all (no way I'm letting them things touch my unprotected DS screen.) I would STRONGLY recommend that you avoid the Pelican screen protector kit.
(I would, however, recommend the DS case that's on sale at CC this week. Its quite compact and holds everything securely. I'd also sorta recommend Yoshi's Touch and Go. Its not the best game in the world, but its still pretty fun.)
