Any thoughts on why they are sold in packages of 3?

I bought the B&N screen protector and it went on OK with just a few bubbles. Those few bubbles bugged me so much that I messed with it until it was an absolute mess. The B&N package only comes with one and it was $15 so I will live with the mess I made for now. Lesson learned: It will only get worse the more you try to move it around.
I bought my Nook and one protector film in June. I already am considering replacing the film. It's got some scratches and gouges that are annoying me. So, easier to replace the film if you buy in sets of three. The film isn't meant to last forever.
Has anyone tried the Ghost Armour they can put on the nook to cover and its also warrantied for life? They use it alot on cell phones, but I have never tried it. They told me they could do it on the Nook.
I bought the screen protector from B&N that comes with 2 pieces, one for the actual screen and one for the touch screen. It went on fine but I did notice that it was a tad smaller than the screen...this isn't a problem however. It still looks new and hasn't bubbled up. I have a harder time using the touch screen to turn the pages but I usually use the side to do that anyway. I was very happy with my purchase. I didn't know they had something with a lifetime guarantee.

It is really scratch resistant for when I throw it in my purse or put it in the same pocket as my car keys
On the bubbles... Have you tried the technique they use on wallpaper bubbles? A tiny pin prick let's the air out and the wallpaper will smooth down. Obviously, you would have to do it carefully so you didn't scratch your screen, but it might work on the sides.
When I had it with my ipod touch I finally went crazy because I couldn't get rid of the bubbles and took it back to the store. There is a miracle guy that works there and knows how to do them without getting bubbles he told me the trick but I probably forgot. But will not touch my ipod touch one for sure and when I do I will let him do it. As for the nook. I was told I really didn't need to use them by someone there so I didn't waste the money for them.
I don't use a screen protector at all. I figured that was what the case was for. I could see adding one for the touch screen, but for the larger reading screen I don't see the point. I figure in a few years they'll upgrade the Nook hardware to the point where I'll buy a new one anyway.
I use a screen protector from xo skins. They only come with one, but they are the wet apply kind so you can line it up just right. And they aren't the cheap plastic kind that fail after five minutes.

I dont have a cover on mine; the screen protector and a cover seem redundant. I do however have several large gouges in my nookcolor that would make it impossible to see had I not had the protector on there. (Gouges on the protector that is, not the nook itself.)
They also save on wear and tear on your screen. So many swipes will leave a groove in the screen and the matte finish helps to reduce glare (although you still have to have the brightness at full strength when reading outside on a sunny day. The protectors need replaced every then and again.
The thing I found pointless was the cleaning cloth that comes with the protectors. Really, who uses THOSE?
I don't have a cover for my Nook Color yet but I am very pleased with the "non glare" screen cover from B&N. I have a griffin screen protector for my Iphone and they are nearly identical. Went on perfectly in one easy step and not a bubble anywhere. My e-ink nook has a zagg Invisible shield on it. It works well but I can tell it's there which I hate. I had a cheaper one on and when I removed it there were a lot of tiny scratches on the reading panel screen cover that I was discarding. Of course I tend to sit it down on the couch to run and tend to something and we have a small dog and a 4 year old....
I too have been using the B&N protector on my Nook Color and love it. I had no problem applying it to the screen. I read and eat constantly and kept getting fingerprints all over my nook screen. For some reason with the screen protector I no longer have the fingerprints. Maybe I am keeping the finger that I turn the page with cleaner...
I tried three times and failed. Went back to B&N and purchased another package of three and they put it on for me. I heard that there is actually a kisock in the mall that will put them on for a price. There is a knack to it for sure.
I'm using a ZAGG protector... comes with a lifetime warranty and is military grade... I reate this a A++++ I love this and have used many products in the past. I don't go with anything but ZAGG now honestly. It did cost me $25 but it's great, you can peal it off and reuse it and will never scratch... research it some... they are great!
