These skins have been discussed a lot on BBF. Also there have been plenty of pics posted.

I think it's kind of subjective as to what each member might interpret as a "better fit" and being "less noticeable."

I've always used BSE [Best Skins Ever, three sets for $21, shipped] and found them perfect.

But others have debated and sworn by the $25 ShieldZone, which gives you one application, but they have a warranty [see threads that have debated about the real value of the warranty versus three BSE skins for $21].

I've not seen any discussions about the Protech skin, is that what ShieldZone calls theirs?

Thumbs up

I use the Best Skin Ever and its fantastic...people dont even know its on my Pearl...I would buy from them again

I have used the sheildzone on my ipod and the only difference between these two is just the price...so I would say go with the BSE!!

I never heard of Protech. I think that's the first time someone mention it here.

whilst BSE is great in my opinion but ShieldZone is better (to me).

ShieldZone offers more protection for both chrome sides.

If money isnt an issue, I would go with ShieldZone, just MHO.

I second onth's comment. My pearl took a fall, but was fine because of the additional coverage on the corners that BSE does not provide. I like the coverage of the BSE full skin on the camera area and the bottom of the phone better (not that much different), but would take ShieldZone between the two.

Alright, I finally got my skins in from BSE. Shipping took 2 days? I ordered 3 skins on the 12th, they shipped on the 13th, and got them today, the 16th... not bad for Colorado to New Hampshire. Installing them takes patience, but once they're on, they stick very well. If you decide to buy these, just be careful when installing them, they do tend to stretch a bit and might cause bubbles.

I have used both and they both protect the screens very well. The overall package that Protech sends is better, but they really do the same thing. I would recommend Best Skins Ever just because of the price.
