Advertisement Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hi JHAG, Take a look here M8 new screen. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ShivaYash Posted September 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2009 Is this a glass armour LCD cover? It's nice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted September 13, 2009 After too much time with this (full of bubbles and obscuring the view, even with a careful application) : ZAGG | invisibleSHIELD | Leica M8 Cases, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Invisible Shield I use now this : ACMAXX Products No hassle applying it on screen, no bubble, no contact with the screen itself and thick enough to withstand shock. Thought it could be useful to many, now that Leica wrote off the sapphire glass on the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clook Posted September 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2009 Your timing is perfect! I caught the edge of my Zagg protector (The bubbly one!) today on clothing, lifting one corner from the screen. It will not now re-adhere. On fitting the ACMAXX protector will it allow a 'second chance' if you mis-align? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted September 13, 2009 The protector being rigid, it's like applying a transparent credit card on your screen. Virtually impossible to misalign. I did not try a second pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted September 14, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) What's the price? I've kept my screen protected by using a LUIGI half case. Nice to see an alternative to the expensive sapphire cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

egibaud Posted September 14, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2009 I bought of these for my Canon 5D MKII. Incredible service I had them in four days!!! From Hong Kong to Spain... via standard post. 20.000 km. This was not luck as I ordered separatly 2 weeks apart, and in both cases I had them this fast.

Thought it could be useful to many, now that Leica wrote off the sapphire glass on the M9. Thanks for the info - the "new" screen looks good!! I've never been happy with Zagg on M8 and DL4, the AcMaxx seems like a great alternative. A few questions - 1. How easy was it to peel off the "old" Zagg film? 2. Did you have to use a hair-dryer? 3. Was there any adhesive residue that you had to clean off? 4. If so, what cleaning chemical/solution (ie. Goo Gone or Goof Off) did you use? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any adhesive residue that you had to clean off? 4. If so, what cleaning chemical/solution (ie. Goo Gone or Goof Off) did you use? Thanks A few answer : 1. I just pulled and off it went. My advice : gently nudge it from one corner of the screen so as not to put unnecessary strain. 2. No. 3. Nothing. All the contrary, pulling it off acted as cleaning, perfect to apply the ACmaxx afterwards. Applying the ACmaxx was a breeze : as it's rigid, you just peel the protective film and apply it firmly on screen. Contrary to ZAGG, no flimsy spray on your fingers or shield. And in fact it's just the rim of the ACmaxx which is adhesive, not the center of it. One application, and that's it. It's absolutely transparent, I forget I have a protection on my screen.

john_newell Posted September 15, 2009 Share #20 Posted September 15, 2009 I have Zaggs on all kinds of things and have for years, but I've decided they are NG on photo/optical equipment. I'm experimenting with a mix of ACMAXX and GGS protectors now. I have ACMAXX protectors on a LX-3 and an M8. I'm wondering how the acrylic will hold up to scratches. Time will tell!
