NuShield now has a Prius MFD protector

I got a Email notice from Nushield that they now have a MFD screen protector for the Prius. I have used their products and really like them. This is the URL :

I just ordered a screen protector from them. When I went to the buy page it showed a different protector for the '06 and a qty of 2, instead of 1 for the '04-'05, for the same price. I didn't think the MFD was a different size on the '06. So guess I'll wait and see what I get. Hope it's 2.

I only got one take your time getting it in so you don't bend it. I have one small crease in mine I don't think others see it but I do! I think it really helps with screen glare!

My questions as well. Thank you for asking.

When going to order it I noticed it said some require adhesive around the edges. Is our Prius the type that require that adhesive or the kind that slips in?

Does this protector also help with the glear on the screensimilar to the screen cover?

Thank you

I just got mine today and I would like to say this is a great product!

I bought the one from Sigma and it was a “stick on” flimsy type. I had problems with air bubbles and some dust under it. One piece of dust was big enough to create a good size air bubble after a few days. It keep coming back.

It was still a good product but I had problems with it.

When I got the one from NuShield I noticed it was just a piece of stiffer plastic. No adhesive! As the instructions say “When finished, the NuShield will “float” on top of the screen and is held by flaps that extend into the gap between the screen and the case”. One side did have a different texture to it but if it was not for the “post it note” they put on it I would not know which side was which. The finish is about the same as the MFD. Maybe a little shinier. Its hard to tell.

It was a pain to put in. The NuShield version is over sized so it will stay in place in the gaps. It took about 15 min to get all the sides to fit under the gap without creasing the plastic. After it was in place it snapped flat down. I did have a very very small crease but the screen had to be off and you had to have a light at the right angle to see it. When the screen was on you cant even tell the NuShield is in place.

I would recommend this product to anyone. Its well worth the money. As far as finger prints, your still going to have to clean the screen once in a while. Get a pack of Klear Screen wipes when you check out. These are also well worth the money.

I love Sigma, their parts, their customer service, and will continue to buy my Prius parts from them but the screen protector they sell is no match for the NuShield. Sorry Edward. Maybe you can make a deal with NuShield and sell their version also?

It is a pain to install. That is clear. First there is the protective film that has to come off. That is discarded and the stiff plastic is fitted under the edges of the plastic bezel at the edge of the screen so the cover floats over the screen. It is matt finish and does not show finger prints as much and does reduce glare. I think they are much nicer than the stick on protectors. You can remove it clean both sides and the screen and reinstall. I did mine on a cold day next time I will warm the car up before I install it.

TheForce · 05-05-2006, 10:50 PM

You had to peel off some film? Mine just had a post it note that said this side faced the screen.

NuShield Guy · 05-08-2006, 12:03 PM

Hello, everyone.

I am NuShield Guy and since our products have been mentioned here, I thought I'd join up and help answer a few questions that have been raised. I own an '06 Pruis (this is our second, our '05 had an argument with a concrete culvert - not recommended!) and we have been working on developing a film for this navigation screen. The oil coating on this nav screen required a special film which has just become available. It is sold with the mask removed since the masking process for this run did not go as well as we hoped. The mask is difficult to remove, so we do it for you.

Note that we stand behind our products 100%. If for any reason you have a problem or, in particular, if you damaged or crimped the film in any way during installation, please contact us. We routinely replace films that have been damaged in an installation attempt.

If you have a question about your order, please contact us directly at support@nushield.com and we will answer you promptly. General questions about our products can be directed this forum and I will be monitoring it on an occasional basis.

Thanks for all your support.

NuShield Guy

Thanks. That explains the post it note.

I don't think I need mine replace because the crease is soo small I don't see it unless the screen is off and the sun hits it just right or you shine a light on it just right. Only seen it 1 time and that was just after the install. Its good to know that you have great support and back you product 100%
