Any GOOD cheap screen protectors?

So I ordered about 15 of the cheapo e-bay screen protectors...I'll put the link below. They are a little too big for the screen and I swear there is dust built in, and I went through about 6 to get one right (after trimming the edges a bit). Ugg. Are there any GOOD ones on ebay for this cheap?

Ok.....I just don't get it.....glitch in the Matrix so to speak

I ordered 2 different screen protectors for my wife's 4S on Ebay...one was 15 cents TOTAL and one 20 cents. Total, no extra fee for shipping.

Both obviously came from China or Hong Kong or something, and both made it here in about 1 weeks time.

So HOW THE HECK does someone in China take my 15 cents, pick up a manila padded envelope (which costs SOMETHING), puts in a screen protector (which costs SOMETHING), and then SHIPS IT ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN and GETS USPS TO DELIVER IT TO ME.........all for 15 cents.

How do they not lose money on that trade?

I've seen this before with Meritline stuff where I'll get some doo-dad SATA cable or something for 99 cents shipped.....but 15 cents.......

Please someone tell me what I am missing!
 
The Children they have doing the work, don't get paid! :rolleyes:

No seriously.....it is one of life's great mysteries to me and I need someone to enlighten me on how this works. Someone must know. It costs me 44 cents to mail a letter across town yet someone can get a manila padded envelope with a product inside it all the way from China, airmail obviously (given the time it took to make it over here) and they took in 15 cents TOTAL REVENUE before all those costs. I just don't see how that works, in the short term or long term, for them.
 
Maybe they write off the difference as advertising cost. They hope that when you need something more substantial, that you'll buy from them first. Some companies spend a lot to develop "good will" with customers.

Just a thought.

Yeah, maybe, although I'm not sure that I know much about HSG7222GOODDEAL or whatever their Ebay store is, and not likely to see them as a "brand" of retail store.....
