TV Armor - TV Screen Protector Blog http://www.tv-armor.com/blog Chronicling the growth of TV Armor, a manufacturer of TV Screen Protectors Mon, 04 May 2009 04:09:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 en Smaller LCD Screen Protector Sizes! http://www.tv-armor.com/blog/2009/04/26/smaller-lcd-screen-protector-sizes/ http://www.tv-armor.com/blog/2009/04/26/smaller-lcd-screen-protector-sizes/#comments Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:08:43 +0000 Michael Cunningham http://www.tv-armor.com/blog/?p=265 We have received a ton of requests for smaller sizes and we heard you! We just finished boxing up a bunch and they are ready to ship out.

  • 21″-22″
  • 23″-24″
  • 25″-26″

Do you have an expensive computer monitor or display? It’s surprising how expensive high end LCD monitors can get. Unfortunately they are just as fragile as an LCD TV. For medical uses, we can replace the standard felt pads with clear rubber bumpers to make cleaning easier. Just send us an email and we will replace them before your LCD screen protector ships out.

Didn’t we just reduce shipping rates a few days ago? Yep!

Well they are going even lower! We are having a 50% off shipping sale.

It’s only for a limited time so buy American today & stimulate the economy.

They claim on their website that they are located in Miami, Florida. Turns out that the street address is just a mailbox forwarding service called Earth Class Mail

They are in EnglandSo if they aren’t in Florida, where in the world are they? When the package arrived we discovered the truth - North Somerset, England. Imagine our surprise when learned, after talking to DHL (the shipping company), that we will be getting a customs/VAT bill in the mail as well. thescreenprotector never mentioned any customs/VAT charges on their website. I guess that’s why they hide where they are located.  *** Update: The day after we posted this message they suddenly moved to NY? Now they have a PO Box in NY?  OR… maybe they are still in England?


While their screen protector costs a little bit less then ours, it turns out you are getting a product that’s 50% thinner then TV Armor. Its very obvious when you put TV Armor and their product side by side. They don’t even polish the edges smooth and clear.

We tested thinner materials when we were designing TV Armor and found them to be ineffective at protecting a TV. We would love to use a thinner plastic like they use, but we won’t sacrifice TV Armor’s quality and protection for a few more dollars.

We won their product “Pick of the day” award! It was a great interview, and we had a lot of fun throwing things at TV Armor. They even threw a full water bottle at it and almost knocked the TV over!

The three hour time difference plus a non-stop walking and talking trade show made it a tiring but amazing experience. I can’t even begin to count to number of great folks we met, valuable contacts we made, and media coverage we received. Now that we are back, I will begin linking to all the interviews, podcasts, and radio spots we participated in. We are VERY excited about the future of TV Armor. There is a lot of interest in TV Armor by the big retail stores. I can’t discuss details right now but BIG things will be happening in the coming months.

They crush the box or are just too rough with it. Well that ends today! We have employed a brand new packaging system designed to cushion the screen protector in custom designed polyfoam insert and strengthen the box even further to prevent crushing. This isnt a cheesy bubble wrap solution… It was designed by a packaging expert we hired. Its quick to pack, strong, and protects the screen protector really well. Is it going to cost us a bit more per a box.. sure, but getting our screen protectors to our customers undamaged is a top concern, even if it is only a few customers a month with this problem.
