Cost is much more than a couple of dollars retail for ANYTHING in the Apple store :( From memory I think a 2-pack of iPhone protectors is $20.

Ok, must be different on your side. At KMart (not sure if you have these guys) they had the screen covers for a few dollars. They may not have been genuine apple items. Most of the covers / holsters etc here are not apple products. Apple must make a shirt load of dollars out of our kids.

I thought you were referring to what's on sale in the actual Apple stores. I doubt there is an item in those stores under $10. Yes, we have K-Mart here :)

Apple must make a shirt load of dollars out of our kids. The BodyGuardz skin is an adaptation from automobile clear-coat protection. It is quite a bit tougher than the plastic covers sold in stores, it's optically clear and it has no polarization. All the cheapo plastic skins I have encountered are polarized. I have polarized sun-glasses and with them I can see a naked iPod or iPhone screen perfectly. But if the screen is covered with one of those cheap skins I see Moir� patterns and the screen is unreadable at an angle. George |
