"Good, but not permanent" | 2008-04-13 |

| First, you won't get 12 screen protectors. You will get three lousy screen protectors, that, if your screen is REALLY small (about 2"), will be cut into small pieces that may give 12 screen protectors. They come off really easy, they are exactly as the screen protectors that came attached to your cell phone screen, or your wrist watch, or whatever needs some protection, but no, they are definitely not permanent. For the price I can give'em two starts, but I would strongly recommend Fellowes screen protectors over these. |

"good idea to protect your camera's LCD screen" | 2007-12-02 |

| I like the idea of the covers for the LCD on my camera it is a pain cutting out the cover to fit the screen. Other than that it is a very good product. |

"Barely adequate." | 2007-11-22 |

| I bought a pack of these based on the high-ish review of them. When I received them, I realized that a lot of people don't have an idea of what a really GOOD screen protector should be like. Yes, these are adequate for minor abrasions and scuffs, however, they are much too thin and rigid to be good for a long period of time. As other reviewers have said, these scratch easily (more easily than your LCD would without them). While I was pressing out small bubbles with the edge of a coin, I noticed that it was leaving scratches on the protector. The screen protector from another company on my other camera is significantly thicker and feels more fluid than these ones. This made it easier to remove bubbles and while you could create a "scratch" in it by pressing your fingernail hard into it, the "scratch" would heal itself and be invisible about 30 seconds later. I have had this protector on the camera for almost two years now and it still looks as clear as the day I put it on even through moderate use. I have NO expectation that these screen protectors will last even 1/4th that long as look as good as they do at application. |

"Difficult to put on" | 2007-11-12 |

| I used films on two different types of Palm PDA before. Those were custom fit type. This one needs to be cut to size and very difficult to apply. The film is thinner than the ones I use for Palm. It is easier to tear and difficult to get rid of air bubbles. I use this on the LCD screen of a digital camera. |

"Does the job" | 2007-10-05 |

I liked the idea of the presized cutouts on the back of the sheet however since it didn't match the size of my screen (Canon SD 1000 screen) I had to measure it out myself. Not a big deal, really. I'm really glad for the extra sheets, though, because after a few days of heavy usage, the screen protector somehow got peeled off, probably when I stuffed my camera into my back jean pocket.
All in all, the protector does the job but be careful of edges sticking up as they'll get caught on stuff and get pulled off. Save those extra sheets; you'll need them. |

"Works well, but comes off too easily" | 2007-08-03 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1VTX2NGMCYL9P |
| I found that because I keep my digital camera in a leather case when I'm not using it, it only took about a week of using the camera for the screen protector to peel back. An easier system of application would be nicer, and a stickier protector would also be helpful. Luckily, these are inexpensive and it is easy to apply a new one. My MP3 player also got a screen protector which is still on it, because it does not get pulled in and out of a case very often. |

| Better to buy at your local store. Shipping was more than the product. Need to be very careful in applying to cammera/viewer; can bubble and flare at the edges. |

1. Digital Concepts (12) pack is really a 3 pack, the (12) is a come-on. There are 3 distinct pages which can be cut into/upto 12 tiny protectors! 2. Also, Ace Digital sent me "Vidpro" not "Digitial Concepts". They said they would send me the Digital Concepts after I first returned the Vidpro. Ay that point the only business making money on this was the USPS. Bummer, 0-)

After trying this product and being completly unsatisfied with it after finding all the faults listed in past reviews I decided to try a little experiment.
First I measured the LCD screen on my Canon Digital Rebel XTi with a ruler and mapped them out on a piece of paper. Then (on the same piece of paper) I drew the dimensions of the LCD screen so I had a drawn out square the exact size of my screen.
Next I took a piece of Glad Cling Wrap and laid it down over the square on the piece of paper. After taping it down so it couldn't move, I used a picture (rotary) trimmer to cut out the saran wrap laid over the paper square.
I then had a perfectly sized protective sheet for my LCD. I simply laid the saran wrap over the screen and had a better protector then the Digital Concepts product. And it was free.

"Not recommended" | 2007-01-12 |

I bought these because of the price and supposedly you get "12" for such a low price. Three things you should know about them.
1) You don't get 12, you only get 3. On the back of each sheet, is a template that helps you cut each sheet into 4 smaller sheets, hence the "12". But no camera made today could use such a tiny size sheet if you cut it. You can probably get 6 sheets though if you cut them in half. The actual dimension of each sheet is 3 1/8" x 3 7/8".
2) These use a glue of some kind to stick them to your screen. It looks fine when you put it on, but I hope I can remove this glue at a later date when I need to replace the protector. And I hope it doesn't damage the screen. I will look for a "static" kind or protector next time.
3) These protectors are fairly reflective. I put one on a GPS in my car and I can hardly see the screen anymore on a sunny day. I would definitely recommend an anti-glare protector.
Hope this helps someone... |
