Use Handwriting Apps? NuShield Can Protect Your Screen.

March 12, 2015

Doctors, delivery men, artists, retail employees: No matter what your profession—and regardless of whether your work takes place in a white-collar office setting or a more labor-intensive blue-collar environment—you probably know full well how deeply touchscreen technology has changed the way we work today—not to mention the speed at which we’re able to do it.

Over the past five years or so, the touchscreens that are built into tablets, smartphones, and even retail point of sale (POS) systems have rapidly become a permanent part of how humans interact with computers. And along with those advances in computing hardware have come a slew of fantastically useful mobile applications that allow users to draw or write directly onto the screens of their mobile devices.

Love Music Apps? You Need to Protect Your Tablet’s Screen

March 5, 2015

Technology is changing at an absolutely breakneck pace: Many of the computer applications and software programs that are considered commonplace today were unheard of just a few years ago. Take music, for instance: Up until just a few short years ago, cassette tapes, compact discs and home stereos were the standard tools we used to listen to our favorite songs. Not any longer.

Music Apps

According to a survey recently conducted by the Pew Research Council, 48 percent of Americans are now listening to music digitally, using their smartphones or tablets. Nearly one out of every two Americans, in other words, now listens to music on a mobile device!

Many of us are listening to our favorite artists with the help of apps such as Spotify, which allows users to listen to the albums and playlists they love for free. Other popular apps for streaming music include Pandora and Slacker Radio.

How to Protect Your Smartphone Screen at the Grocery Store

February 12, 2015

Remember the good old days when the grocery list was stuck to the refrigerator (probably with a magnet), and everyone simply wrote down what they needed?

Of course, when you needed to go shopping you had to actually remember to bring the list with you.

Or you had to make an extra trip home to get the list. Or maybe you just went off the store without it.

Times Have Changed

Nowadays, grocery lists can be kept on smartphones, which pretty much eliminates the problem of forgetting your food list altogether. What’s more, there are literally hundreds of apps available that can help you significantly improve your shopping experience.

How to Protect Your In-Car GPS Navigation System

February 5, 2015

The experience of driving down unfamiliar roads and highways suddenly became a whole lot simpler in the mid-2000s, which was roughly when in-car GPS navigation devices began catching on en masse. Almost overnight, the days of pulling onto the shoulder to wrestle with an enormous paper map were over.

In fact, thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of navigation consoles, even MapQuest and similar map-based websites have lately begun falling out of favor. Indeed, a vehicle without an LCD display command center today is practically considered suspect.

Your In-Car Navigation System Has a Potentially Expensive and Dangerous Downside

There is a downside, however, to having GPS navigation displays installed in just about every motor vehicle on the market today: The graphics on the displays can occasionally be very hard to see.

On some screens, excessive glare from the sun can nearly drown out any text or graphics, which can potentially be very dangerous. And there’s definitely nothing safe about squinting at your GPS display while you’re supposed to be concentrating on the road.

That’s not all: Drivers who wear glare-reducing polarized sunglasses while they’re behind the wheel frequently complain about the difficulty of reading their navigation display screens. Polarized sunglasses have become increasing popular over the past few years, and for good reason: they do a great job of reducing the sun’s reflected glare. Still, it’s a known fact that polarized lenses significantly reduce the visibility of images produced by LCD or LED displays. (Your in-car navigation system almost certainly has an LCD display.)

Do You Wear Bifocal Lenses While Using a Mobile Device? Here’s How to Ease Eye Strain

January 22, 2015

Between smartphones, tablets and your computer, it’s likely you spend a great deal of your day staring at a backlit screen. That almost certainly has something to do with why your eyes tend to ache at the end of the day.

Let’s face it: The human eye simply wasn’t designed to deal with that level of lighting strain. And if you happen to wear bifocal or multifocal lenses, your situation is likely even worse.

The problem you’ve been having while reading on screens goes a bit further than just having to deal with lighting issues. If you wear bifocal and multifocal lenses, or even if you happen to have farsighted vision, you probably need to tilt your head at a fairly specific angle in order to properly view your mobile device’s screen display. That can but a great deal of strain on your neck. If you spend enough time on your tablet, smartphone or e-reader, this can lead to some pretty serious posture problems.

You may have heard about a stop-gap solution that some device users have adapted: wearing computer glasses. And yet while these glasses will make it easier for you to see the screen, they’re not without their own problems. Consider the following:

The Holiday is Over and You’re Left With a Glare

January 7, 2015

Many of us will enjoy the excitement of receiving a new tablet or smartphone as a Christmas gift this year. After receiving a new electronic device, you’re likely to spend hours fooling around with it and exploring its capabilities.

While your new gift will no doubt dazzle you with the technological marvels it offers, you might find one major drawback.

Fortunately, there’s a quick remedy to dealing with glare issues on LCD screens.

By ordering an anti glare screen protector from NuShield, you can easily get around glare problems and take advantage of drastically improved visibility on your electronic device’s display screen.

What’s more, a screen protector from NuShield could offer quite a few other benefits in addition to reducing glare.

Did You Get a New Mobile Device Over the Holidays? Here’s How to Keep It Protected

January 6, 2015

See if this doesn’t sound familiar: Your new smartphone or tablet was the best gift you unwrapped over the holidays this year, and you couldn’t wait load it up with all your favorite apps. Playing with your new toy brought you an almost childlike sense of glee. But after only 20 or 30 minutes, you noticed that your new device’s screen was already covered in greasy fingerprints — it wasn’t not looking anywhere near as shiny and new as it did just a half-hour earlier.

So … what can you possibly do? You can protect your screen, of course. And here’s the good news: Doing so is actually lot easier and a lot cheaper than you might imagine.

Remember to Include Screen Protectors with Holiday Gifts

December 24, 2014

Electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops are now integral tools that we use every day for entertainment, work, and study. That’s part of the reason why they make useful gifts for family and friends. However, it’s important to note some of the potential malfunctions that can come up during normal usage of electronic devices with fragile LCD or display screens.

  • Poor visibility– There’s nothing more frustrating than having to look something up on your cell phone and not being able to make out the screen at all. Although display screens are designed to achieve the utmost in clarity and precision, tablet or smartphone manufacturers cannot always accommodate all the different lighting situations in which a screen will be used. Glare can cause enormous visibility problems when it comes to using electronic device display screens.
  • Damage– The display screen on electronics is usually the most fragile part of the device. That means it’s susceptible to the ravages of fingernails, fingerprints, sharp edges, impact, and more. Over time, screens typically pick up scratches and blemishes that can eventually detract from visibility.
  • Built-up germs and bacteria– Anything that comes into contact with our fingers is likely to serve as a breeding ground for cold-causing microbes. Touch screens especially will pick up bacteria and germs over time, making it necessary to clean or disinfect them in some way.

NuShield Solves a Safety Concern for Store Owners

December 10, 2014

Do some research on products like our NuShield anti glare screen protector film and you’ll be surprised at how many different applications they have. Screen protector films can be applied not only to the displays of electronics, but also directly on windows to prevent glare from bright sunlight from hindering visibility indoors.

Those who do business from a storefront location such as convenience stores, know that bright sunlight poring into their store windows can make it hard to see. Glare can not only make it impossible to read cash register and computer screen displays, but it can also make interaction and communication with co-workers and clients difficult.

Consider the following scenario: A police officer can’t see into a local convenience store because posters have been put up over the windows to block the glare from the sun and to allow store clerks to make out cash register screens. While these posters might improve visibility on the inside of the store, the safety of those working in the store is compromised if the police cannot see the store clerk and the register area. Thieves take note of factors like poor visibility and use them to their advantage to rob storefront locations while invisible to the police and other passersby.
