The solution was to cut the product just to cover the screen. It's perfectly clear and reduces glare very nicely making the screen extremely visible. The photo doesn't show, but this product actually covers the entire front surface of the VX8550. Now it clings really well and never gets caught on anything and stays flat. And you can't beat this price. This means that there are two narrow, curved extensions of the material that covers the left and right of the navigation wheel, and taper to a point on both sides just below the wheel. These don't have enough surface area for the static cling to remain flat, and the tapered points also catch on fabric.
The next day I went to my cell phone company and purchased a far better quality screen protector for $1.00. I purchased two, and the other one was the same flawed design. My emails to the seller went unanswered, I just wasted my money on something that went in the trash at the end of the day. The design of this screen protector has changed, it is NOT the same as what is pictured here. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. It's ill fitting to begin with, but the adhesive isn't strong enough to hold it in place. It is stiff plastic, one piece design that partially wraps around the navigation wheel. It didn't even last one day.
Maybe the second one will stick, maybe not. The picture is not accurate the plastic goes all around the disc. At this point the first one is toast because you have already used the adhesive and failed. Bought this product, received it in a week or so. Dont even waste your time, spend more get more. But you really have to clean your phone even if it is new with alcohol. No insrtuction's not that it is brain surgery to put it on. Then it still doesnt stick, then you have take the other one and cut it in half because it is to big.
This screen protector is good, except that it goes all the way down and around the scroll wheel (it doesn't cover it up though).If you don't like it covering up that much, then a pair of scissors can easily fix it.
Now instead of supplying 2 rectangular protectors (one for the screen and one for the battery cover), SP has decided to supply just one really long protector for the whole front side, with a small cutout up top for the speaker and a large circular cutout on bottom for the wheel. I was planning to install only one protector on my screen and save the other for later, but SP had other plans.The only thing I can think of is that I have a VX8550 and this is advertised for a VX8500, so maybe the older phone has a flatter face for which this new, longer style protector would work fine.
So kudos to their customer service, at least. But still, they clearly show and describe two small rectangular protectors that would just cover the screen/battery cover, so what they described would have fit my phone regardless.FWIW, I have written SP with my problem and they responded very quickly to help work it out.
I ordered my screen protector hoping to get just that - a screen protector. The phone curves underneath the protector in these areas and the adhesive isn't strong enough to bend the stiff protector to fit the contour.
Just wish they hadn't decided to change the product so drastically on me. When it arrived (in good time at a good price) it was way different than what is pictured and described here.
They claim that since this model phone is getting old, they expect most of the battery covers to be too scratched up to hold the other protector any more.I took great care to apply the protector to my chocolate and was very disappointed to find that the top and bottom don't stick.
