Default EM-5 OLED Screen Protector?

Just wondering if those of you with new EM-5s are putting screen protectors on your OLED screen. If so, is there a particular brand you prefer?

I did.I actually ordered and got it before the cam came so I could put it on immediately.It's just one of many on eBay.Don't remember the brand.

I got one of these on ebay: ACMAXX 3.0" Thick Film LCD SCREEN ARMOR PROTECTOR Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera body

Not thrilled with it, but it's adequate. Leaves some visible bubbles as some of the people who left neutral feedback have mentioned. Also, it's a smidgen smaller than the screen. Overall, it strikes me as a Dollar Tree quality product - must cost the seller only 50 cents and he sells it for $10!

I guess the German screens are better quality, but shipping might takes weeks.

Thanks for the feedback. Think I'll wander over to the mall and visit the Zapp kiosk. They make pretty good screen protectors, I hear.

These. Not the cheapest, but very easily applied and totally bubble-free. A case of you get what you pay for methinks.....

Edit: Ah, assuming you're not in the UK/Europe, not available on amazon.com, sorry.....
Thanked by rstrader.

I got the Micro Solution screen protector. They have one for E-M5, but I decided to get the one for the E-P3 because it was less expensive and the screens are the same size. Works really well so far.

I bought a 3M Natural View Screen Protector for the iPad. It comes with two sheets of material. I used a good paper cutter to cut protectors for my E-PL2, E-M5 & D200. Between the two sheets, there's probably enough material for 10 cameras. There's no adhesive at all (they work like Colorforms). Just have to makes sure the LCD is spotless before applying.

There are several German suppliers on ebay selling various quality screens, the highest quality being a 3M product. I went mid price, $5 for two and bought the Vikulti CVB (3M) ones from protectionfilms24.com.

It's a perfect fit, easy to apply, bubble free and virtually invisible. optically it's fantastic. BUT I've now lost touch screen capability!!
So beware, protecting the screen may well come at the price of touch screen usability.

I used one I had from an old smart phone and cut it to size. Worked out good

I've got one of those on order, does it still allow the touch-screen functions to work?

The great thing about an EVF is that you can be chimping all you want and no one will know.
