Summary:
One of the first accessories that many people buy after purchasing a new PDA is some form of screen protector, but with such a bewildering array of different types it is hard to know where to start. In general, screen protectors seem to break down into two main types: those that use adhesive to stay in place and need replacing on a regular basis; and those that rely on electrostatic adhesion, are washable and claimed to last up to a year. But, there is a third way! Sometime around 1998 Mark Ross (developer of the NuShield) became frustrated with the screen protectors available for his Apple Newton and decided he could do better. Sure, we have all had thoughts like this from time to time but often nothing seems to come of it. Well in this case Mark Ross, a polymer chemist by training, was just the man for the job! The result was the NuShield.

The NuShield is claimed to last for up to 4 months, can be washed and reused and is held in place by "flaps" that extend into the gap between the screen and the case. So, how does the NuShield stack up with the competition?
