Bodyguardz iPhone Screen Protector Review

As a finance rep in the wireless industry, you get to be the first to see all the new goodies the store gets to sell!  This ultra-thin tempered glass screen protector by BodyGuardz is hands-down the best screen protector I've ever used.  If you're the type that doesn't care for anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen protectors because you want to use your phone as mirror (is that just me or is at least one other person out there uses their phone for that too?) then this is the one. Okay that might not be the sole reason for this screen protector but if you're looking for something that protects and actually feels like your screen as if you don't have a screen protector on then this is the one!

I've tried $30 Zagg Invisishields plenty of times in the past and they did not work for me because they'd always bubble or peel at the edges because of my case or hot weather.  The cheap $10-15  film-like screen protectors that come with 2-3 a pack did the job for me except that they scratched easily.  What's a girl to do? Go screen protectorless?! I think not.

Thank you BodyGuardz for creating something different.  Like I said earlier, it doesn't even feel like I have a screen protector on my phone, it just feels like the screen!  If there is one thing I didn't like about it, it's the round-raised sticker used for the home button.  It's provided so you can access the home button easier since the screen protector adds extra depth.  I put mine on wrong, so the square in the middle of the circle home button is now a diamond.

$35 for an awesome screen protector!  DO IT.

Super8 Video Camera App

I love recording random videos on my iPhone and I was excited when I discovered the Super8 video app! The app is free for a limited time and promotes Paramount Picture's film "Super 8" which premiers on June 10.  The app has some awesome video features and can't wait to use them!

The iPhone App Store description says, "Using Super8 you can make your own vintage movies and add lens, filter and shake effects, arrange clips and scenes the way you want them; you can even add your own credits."

Here is a quick video I did at Pike Place Market a week and a half ago to test out the app!

Got any movie ideas? Let's make a video together! :)

GetGlue

The last thing I need is another social networking site to check-in to!  My friends already call me out for always being on my phone and being a Twitter, Foursquare & Instagram (find me: herromelissa) freak!  What can I say?  I love it!  It's fun!  And here I go signing up for GetGlue!  I just started to explore and understand it and I say it's pretty cool.  You earn stickers and you can even get them mailed to you for free!  Oh wait, what is GetGlue?  You basically check-in to movies, books, music, celebrities, video games, etc. that you're into and comment on it.  You can also "like" them and write reviews.

There you go, that's what it is.  I know I can just tweet or do a Facebook status update about what I'm watching or listening to but I guess when you're a social media maniac, it's cool when there's another site who will share those things for you with just a couple of clicks and post them to your Facebook or Twitter for you (and c'mon, you get stickers!).  When you first sign up, it asks you to pick movies that you like and when you do, that's when the site really starts to get to know you and your future recommendations build off of that, it's a little intro course about how to use GetGlue.  Just try and see for yourself!  As for me, it's just another distraction, another feed to check on my iPhone while I'm at the bus stop or in line at the grocery store.  Get on it!  The more, the merrier. :)
