M8 Screen Protector

I just got some (LCD) screen protectors from ScreenPatronus. (I bought them on eBay, but I think they have a website as well.) I thought someone asked about such things here, but can't find the thread.

 

In any case, these things go on easily, they're precut to fit the screen and disappear once applied. I can't vouch for their lifespan, but there are three to an order, and I think worth a try. The people there are cooperative as well.

Stephen, I'll be interested to know how you get on with them. I've used their protectors on several cameras and they're excellent.

 

The first ones I received for the M8 I found that the corners would catch on clothes or my fingers where the thumb wheel is. I told the manufacturer about this and some more are on the way to me which are 1/2mm smaller. I think my problem was caused by the bevel at the edge of the M8 LCD screen causing the protector to sit up a little proud. In the meantime I've used an R-D1 protector, it's a bit smaller but has stayed securely in place.

The ones you've obtained may be the 1/2 mm smaller version. They have a very long lifespan - the one on my R-D1 is still there after 9 months.

 

 

Bob.

I had an early screenPatronus protector. The corners lifted and it eventually came off. It seems like a nice protector if the fit could be a little more tailored. It was nice and clear. The one I replaced it with was one that I cut to fit and it is not as clear.

The best screen protectors are from shieldzone.com (semi-permanent) and hoodskins from hoodmanusa.com (removeable, 12 per pack I think). I use each of them on different cameras, ipods, etc. The choice of semi-permanent or removeable is a personal one.
