Screen protector

bozebuurman · 11-27-2005, 10:40 AM

For my PDA I use a screen protector, from Brando.
I think this is very usefull against any scratches.

Is it possible to use a kind of screen protector for the screen of the prius?
And if so is it availble anywhere in the world?

Sigma Automotive sells them for about $16, have not used one myself so perhaps someone else here has and can let us know if it causes any difficulties with the MFD functionality.

Thanks for the link to Sigma. I was thinking about the same thing for the MFD. For $16, I took a chance and just ordered it online. The $16 turned into $25 with UPS ground shipping from Mass to NY (a ripoff- how much can it weigh)?

I'll report back with my "review".

I've been searching for these LCD protectors also. Almost got the Sigma version but the $10 shipping seemed unreasonable. Took a chance with Ebay seller for a screen protector for around $15 total with shipping. I, too, will get back to y'all on the details of this screen protector.

There are some other products at
http://www.nushield.com/products_car...ays_toyota.htm
that might work as well.

I've never used them, and they don't have one specifically for the Prius, but maybe the Camry version would work

I have used Nushield products and like them. I uses their KlearScreen on my car, PDA, PowerBook and glasses! I think they do not have one as yet for the Prius. There was a thread a year or so ago and apparently the touch screen does not work with their usual material. I sent them a email we shall see what they say.

Here is something a bit off topic, but not. Reduce and eliminate finger prints on the screen. These bother me, but no more finger prints on the screen for me. Something I did not come up with myself. The hospital installed touch screen register in the cafeteria. One of the check out folks was using this "device" to activate the touch screen, perhaps to save her finger nails. Who knows. It is a Pentel eraser pen. Here are the pictures of this in action. It really keeps the screen clean.

Wow! How clever.

Does the Pentel eraser ever leave the eraser "fuzz" you get from erasing?
I know you wouldn't be jabbing the eraser violently against the screen, but perhaps the long-term slight wear-n-tear?

Nope I bought a 5 pack and just use it in the Prius. No more finger prints. A light touch is all that is necessary. Got mine at Office Depot

I have no problems with my protector from Sigma Automotive. You realy need to make sure the screen is extra clean before applying the film. I thought mine was but I have a few small bubbles that I can't rub out. That means there are small peices of dust under there. I could just peal it off and try again but It's realy not a big deal. I know it's protecting the screen and I don't have to worry about passengers with long fingernails.
