Yesterday was Droid Day. The Verizon stores were not prepared with accessories, so I had to wait to get vital phone accessories like a case and screen protector. I had a little bit of a Twitter rant last night after having to wait 10 minutes to talk to a “sales associate” at the VZ store just to buy the accessories for the Droid I purchased earlier in the day. The worst part is that they VZW guy sold me a privacy protector, not the screen protector.
I figured out how this privacy protector works! It has nothing to do with polarization. In fact, it only blanks your screen side peepers when you are in landscape. The real privacy protection comes from the fact that it makes your touchscreen unusable! The Droid privacy protector nearly makes it impossible to unlock you Droid with the touch and slide feature. I can only imagine what it would do if you set a custom unlock pattern.
Avoid the Droid privacy protector if you actually want to use your Droid!

They gave me the protector too, and it works great. It didn’t affect the touchscreen usage at all for me. They claim there is a setting to change sensitivity, but I didn’t go looking for it. You should look into it. It protects the screen from damage, and prying eyes. I plan on buying another if needed.

There are quite a few other people with this problem on the forums out there. Perhaps we all received defective items and droiduser and pstuckey received the only two good ones out there

Glad to know I’m not the only one, I had the same problem! I cannot find any settings feature that will change the screen’s sensitivity. It bugged me so much, I took it off the phone and I’m taking back to Verizon to get my $ back.
We aren’t the only ones who have had that problem:

I wish mine worked like those on here who were lucky enough to not have any problems! I couldn’t even unlock my phone with that thing on! Ugh!
