    I've done the screen protector for the info-tainment screen and love the oleophobic properties, scratch protection, and especially the gloss look. That being said, has anyone did a similar glass screen protector for the gauge cluster? I have one on the way (Amazon), but it was for the BZ4X. I'm not sure if its screen is the same dimensions but the BZ4X protector was half the price of the one I found for the Prius.

    I can see for the touch screen but I find it unnecessary for the gauge cluster.
    I actually find it unnecessary for the touch screen as well.

    Update: this does NOT fit the Prius. It is the same shape as the Prius but larger in all dimensions. Will NOT work.

    Protect it from what? You get a lot of flying debris inside your car that may hit it?

    Personally, a simple stick on one (not one of those glass types) would be something I'd throw on there myself. Just in case you have something abrasive on the microfibre when you wipe it down while cleaning and end up with a scratch you'll never get out of the darn thing that bothers you for the life of car ownership. Some even have anti-glare properties that might be better than the factory coating.

    It also helps avoid someone cleaning your car, that isn't you, using the wrong product and messing up the screen since not all cleaners are safe on screens. If there were custom cut stick on things for 5-10 bucks, why not.

    Seems like a solution without a problem

    I'm really particular about scratches so if it was easily accessible and cheap I'd grab it.
