Screen Protector.

[netring]

I didnt like the soft screen protectors that came with my player, so i took my hori screen protector from my psp, layed the original screen protector on it and cut it. Applied it and it came out looking very well. It's a very good screen protector and it is dirt cheap. It's 5$ and can be found at any ebgames(i think gamestop too), and you can cut it into two. You caanot see the screen protector and it protects it well(imo):
When i first got my horis i fooled around with them and they are pretty darn hard to go through and scratch. I reccomend this over other screen protectors i have seen online.

Sorry for my bad english.

hmm, maybe I should reconsider... this would be really cool if it works maybe I will buy this instead... :bigthumbs

invisible shield does what it says, i just dont think the x5 screen needs that kind of protection,because if you drop it hard enough for it to scratch through the hori, the player will be dead due to the physical blow it experiened, even though you might still have your perfect screen

plus to apply invible shield you need to dip it in soapy water and then put it on the screen(while it's still covered in soap), and then you let it dry

heh.. one of the two screen protectors I got with my X5 had a great big crease down the side of it.. absolutely useless!
Pretty sure I'll be getting a zCover.. but good to see that there are other alternatives out there!

If someone can tell me the exact size of the LCD screen of X5 (in centimeters), I might (just might) be able to find us some very good screen protectors (Brando Ultraclears).

I want the size of the glass of the screen.Not just the visible frame or something.WIDTHxHIGHT

Thanks.

P.S. I don't have a ruler or something, that's why i ask you for it!!!

[Abacrombie]

That would be 47,4x33,5mm

[Johnkokk]

Thanks.I'll tell you when i have news.
They are very good protectors.They don't need soap,water,grease to put them on, and they don't leave any adhesive on the screen, when you remove them.

i just took the screen protector that came with the x5, cut off the little tab so it's even on all sides. Then took some clear tape and put it on the hori, so it doesnt move then just took some scissors and cut it to the shape.

packing tape? wouldn't that ruin your screen??

Nope..It doesn't affect the screen at all...matter of fact....the view is much much better than the original screen protector that came with the unit..no bubbles and streaks at all...I've taken it off once already within the month I've had it on & it leaves no adhesive rezidue behind (I did that just for the sake of taking it off) It has to be good quality packing tape though..u'll know the difference..the generic ones are really thin...u don't want those. Scotch tape is one of the good ones but there are other brands.
