Power Support USA preorders up

no point!
so anyone got their power support yet?
When I placed my order 2 days ago the website said pre-orders will ship on April 7.
They're night and day IMO. The Power Support film is harder and smoother, making it much easier to slide your finger across. Now do understand that nothing will be as smooth as the iPad's glass + oleophobic coating, but the PS is pretty close.
I actually prefer the feel of the Power Support AG film over the bare screen itself. It seems to glide better. I've used the AG film on my iPhone for the last year and it's still going strong.
I don't think there is much loss in clarity with the AG. It's slightly different but I like the look, but I mostly like removing the glare on the screen itself, that drives me crazy in certain situations.
Wow, that's a pretty strong opinion. I might have to order one although I hate to think about taking the BSE off after two attempts to get it right. Glide feels ok to me but I am new to all of this.
What has the installation experience been like with PS given the static? With the BSE, I was able to turn on a vaporizer in a small room and literally no dust on the install. I assume with PS the dust is even more of an issue and should use the same technique?
There was at least one great video by a PS user on Youtube shortly after the iPad 1 rolled out showing how he flawlessly applied the PS Crystal Film.
As for me, I will just stop in at their store in Burbank and have them apply it themselves. They do an awesome job and only charge a few bucks for installation.
I hate seeing my face staring back at me, so I'm a really big fan of the PS anti-glare screen protectors and am finding it really hard to live without one on my iPad 2 right now.
Hopefully it won't be too long before somewhere in the UK starts to sell them because there's no way on earth I'd be paying those, quite frankly, ridiculous international shipping charges.
If any UK people notice them anywhere soon, or any pre-orders, I'd really appreciate a heads up in this thread or wherever.

working fine for me. Just Ordered HD Anti-Glare $36 shipped. $1 more than JR but hopefully they ship faster!
I signed up for the e-mail as well Anyways, for people that haven't done an install, go into your bathroom and turn the shower on with hot water. The steam in the air will weigh down any floating particles in the air. I do this for all my installs. For Power Support applications, the key thing here is tape. Have a piece that you use to lift up any end that you want to remove a dust particle from. Have another piece of tape to remove said particle whether it's on the ipad screen or the PS film. You WILL get a perfect result.

You WILL get a perfect result.I previously had an SGP ultra fine on mine but found that it definitely made the screen a bit "fuzzier" so I took it off. I see that PS has "hd" attached to their anti-glare product. Does the PS anti-glare have better screen clarity than the SGP in anyone's experience? Did anybody have the "hd" screen for the original iPad that could comment?
Not sure I want to fuzzy up the screen just to save on glare/fingerprints.

I do this for wet application skins but I found it unnecessary for static-cling films. As long as you wipe off your screen nice and clean before applying the film you should end up with very minimum specs under the film. A few tape methods are all you need for a flawless application. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, but you said "very minimum specs under the film". If you are OCD about it (like me) then you want absolutely no dust particles under the film and to achieve this you have to be willing to pull it back up with tape and remove with another piece of tape. Unless you happen to have access to a vacuum environment! I also do my installs in the bathroom with hot water running for a few minutes first.
OK if you place a preorder ...and make a mistake and want to change crystal to antiglare, do you retain your place in the queue?
I ordered from J&R when someone so graciously posted their freee shipppppinnnggggg. And I got so excited I accidentally ordered the crystal. I called the customer service line and changed it but I wanna know if I will retain my place in line.
I cannot drink, knit and watch my knitting videos while there is a GLARE on the screen.

Might have to just send it to the UPS Store in Lewiston, NY and spend the $10 in gas to go get it

It is funny that you mentioned this ... Today, I installed the PS screen protector (iPad1 version) on my iPad2 in my companies class 10 clean room. (Got impatient and didn't feel like waiting for the new version).
0 dust specs
And that's even after lifting up the protector several times to get the it realigned properly.
Installing in the bathroom is a brilliant idea. I actually installed a protector on my last iPad doing this last year. I cranked up hot water in the shower for a few minutes and had an air purifier on high.
This also works well when you don't have access to a clean room !
Bluebermuda is right. I took myipad1 screen and tried to puton ipad2 and it does not fit properly, not to mention there's no hole for the camera.
