iphone 3G screen protectors

I was at a high street market in Poole,the stall holder was selling iphone 3G screen protectors for £3.00 each....

On looking through Ebay,I noticed you can buy 3 screen protectors for UNDER £2.00 with FREE postage from China.I purchased one lot for £1.87 and they arrived one week later (from China).

This is a great saving,hope it helps someone.

While yes this is a good saving, in my experience never buy anything like this from asian countries like China and Hong Kong, theyre often cheap and nasty items that are way below a decent usable standard. Good example: I bought screen protectors from Hong Kong, the first one i used split in half. The second fell off. Id stay well away unless you absolutely can't afford more than £2

Sorry if I sound like I'm moaning

I had much the same experience. I bought a set of protectors from one UK based ebay merchant and they were terrible - supplied on a paper backing and were like sellotape cut to fit (except they weren't large enough to cover the whole front side, and had terrible air bubbles). I left bad feedback and discovered I wasn't alone (wish I'd checked before!)

I got a recommendation from someone else and went to a different UK ebay trader, £2 delivered and they were nice quality, not sticky, supplied in a professional pack with a polishing cloth. They were also sandwiched between two peel-away layers which helped in putting them on and once fitted no air bubbles, invisible and undetectable.

As for HK/China sellers, I steer clear. Often the goods are cheaply priced with high postage, if you complain or the thing is faulty they will gladly refund only the purchase price and not the postage, plus you have to pay to send it back!

Also worth noteing is the delivery- although its often free, you will be waiting upwards of 14 WORKING days and anywhere around a month is normal.
