Review: Martin Fields overlay plus screen protector for Nokia N97

Review: Martin Fields overlay plus screen protector for Nokia N97

I was asked a while back to review the Martin Fields overlay for the Nokia N97. Thank you to our sponsor for letting us test out the product and write about it on the blog. You can check their offerings there as they have a great selection of products for various phones not only Nokia products.

THE LIKES

I got lucky enough to be able to get a twin pack. Here is a demo of how they come. The package comes with two overlays, each in separate plastic pouch and very easy instructions. The benefit is that you can easily remove the overlay wash it and reapply it upon careful drying with hair dryer yet again. I had no issues applying the screen protector/overlay to the phone. At first I was hesitant as I have been known to have disastrous experiences with applying screen protectors to my various gadgets. I had to take a deep breath and proceed slowly. I made sure that the screen was free of any debris and cleaned it with the included soft cloth. Took it out of the package and slowly begun peeling. Now keep in mind as not to leave your finger prints on the screen protector or you will have to do it all over again. Again this was one of the easiest and cleanest applications ever. Martin Fields overlay is not very thin, it has some substance to it but has no barring on the touch tactility of the phone. It works great upon application. With clean screen it is bright crisp, easy to read the screen and it looks really almost perfect.

You can see the cut outs for the nearly perfect fit. More about it a bit later.

The simple instruction that comes in a box

That is how they come, each in separate plastic cover. Take a note of the hole for the sensor but not for the secondary camera.

Already installed on the phone. Really, really easy to do it.

THE DISLIKES

There is no cut out for the secondary camera which has a potential draw back in the quality of pictures being taken, if you of course chose to utilize this poor quality cam. Now I would never take pics with it but a customer likes to have a choice, my preference would have been a cut out for the secondary camera as well.

Another issue is that the screen protector is a huge fingerprint magnet and in direct sunlight it is really easy to see the smudges, harder to see the screen and info on the screen. Now I realize that no screen protector is perfect and delivers on every angle, but I would have liked to see more ‘finger magnet’ control. That said, I have had it for nearly two weeks now and I have been very happy with its performance and durability overall. I have yet to see a scratch on the screen protector.

CONCLUSION

If you are in the market to buy a good quality, durable screen protector this one I would highly recommend. Again the ease of use, crisp screen indoors even with finger prints present, durable and great fitting cut out make it a desired buy in my book. Phones these days come at a high price, it is worth investing some good money to protect its most essential element – the screen. This product gets a thumbs up from me.

You can see the screen protector snug and nicely fitting around the major components.

Sony Ericsson MW600 Review

If you're someone who regularly finds themselves driving, or cycling, or skiing, or cooking, or cleaning, or doing anything - for that matter - which requires your hands and at least a portion of your concentration, then you'll know the value of a Bluetooth headset. But in the more energetic of the aforementioned pursuits, you'll find that a regular ol' one-eared headset won't do. They fall out. When you're halfway down a Colorado piste, or leaning over your stew, the last thing you want that little bit of expensive plastic to do is fall out. Enter Sony Ericsson's MW600 - a teeny-tiny device with a big clip that lets you turn any pair of headphones into a Bluetooth headset. But is it worth shelling out your hard-earned cash for? Do you really need the MW600 in your life? Look down at your little finger on your left hand. The MW600 is about the same size as that. It has a clip on the back that reaches two-thirds of the w...

Roqbot Is A Jukebox On Your iPhone

Something unusual happened last Friday night at Bar Basic here in San Francisco. When I walked in, the entire room was fixated on on a screen above the bar, which displayed what looked like a musical game but wasn’t karaoke. The game? Roqbot, a unique iPhone app that allows you to yes, pick the music playing at a bar. Like a combination Pandora and traditional jukebox, Roqbot allows you to control the tunes without getting up from where you’re sitting. The inspiration for Roqbot came when one of the co-founders got frustrated using the jukebox at a bowling alley — Every time he had to walk across the bowling alley he would miss his turn. Roqbot, which shares the space with jukebox networks TouchTunes and eCast, is the first startup that I’ve seen experimenting with bringing social music to real life businesses like bars and cafes. Up until now plenty of people have deployed this concept for private settings, but no one has touched public because of the many challenges involved. Co-foun...
