photolandscape Posted March 11, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a pack of Screen Patronus LCD protectors for my M8. I followed the instructions completely, making sure the screen was clean before applying the protectors. In all 3 cases, the protector came off of partially or totally within 3-4 days. They seem to need more adhesion. Usually, they seem to come off when one of the corners rubs against the inside of my Domke bag. Are there any other brands anyone has used that work correctly?

pascal_meheut Posted March 11, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2007 Yes, I cut the corners with small scissors to avoid it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted March 11, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2007 I told ScreenPatronus I had this problem some months ago. They promptly sent me replacements that had two sides cut to be 0.5mm (or was it 0.25mm) shorter. I think the problem's caused by the bevelled/rounded edges of the M8 screen. They cause the protector edge to stand slightly proud and prone to catch. The only difficulty I had with the reduced size protectors was applying them so they had an equal border on all four sides. One has now been on my camera for several months without any problems. Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjohn Posted March 11, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2007 You can try shieldzone.com as their protectors are very tough. you will need to order a custom protector with the folowing specifications: 54 * 41 mm with radiused corners for the Leica M8 and pay their custom charge as they don't offer it standard yet.

LichMD Posted March 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 11, 2007 Yes Hoodskins by Hoodman. They are advertised for video cam LCDs, but when cut fit perfectly on the M8. I'm still on my first one roughly 4 weeks post purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8ing Posted March 11, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2007 if you place a piece of oversized paper over the LCD and rub lightly over the paper with a pencil to get an outline of the shape and size. Cut out the traced shape and place over LCD protector to get the perfect fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut out the traced shape and place over LCD protector to get the perfect fit. Nice idea! I will do that when I put my second Screen Patronus on. The first one lasted two or three weeks, but eventually a corner caught and now it is just unraveling by the minute. I tried to clean it and reapply it, as they mention, but couldn't get it right. Dust keeps getting onto it now and is almost impossible to get back off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
