Screen Protectors

[+user13371]

Has anyone compiled a cross reference of which screen protectors for different types of gadgets would fit various GPS models without trimming?

 

I just found some screen protectors intended for a Palm M-130 that are a perfect fit for my Lowrance iFinder H2O. Good deal too, as my local Office Max store had a closeout of 12-pack for $5. I expect this will be a lifetime supply.

For both my DigiCam and GPS I usually just grab whatever's cheap wherever I am and trim them (It's not like I go through more then 2 a year). Trimming has never seemed like a big deal. I can waste 3 mins (once or twice) to save $10.

 

At the same time if there was something similarily priced to what I usually end up purchasing that I didn't have to trim them obviously that'd be even better.

 

Unfortunately I've never seen a xref

Neat idea, but at the rate new PDAs come out, and given the number of "Brand X" screen protectors, I would think it's a pretty staggering chore to keep accurate. I just take the old one from my PDA when it gets replaced, trim it, and put it on my GPSr...

Strong Engineering makes protectors for all kinds of devices. If it is not listed, they will make them custom for you.

Ah, but that's the beauty of it - it doesn't really have to be kept up to date; being out of date could save money! Screen protectors for out of date PDAs (like the Palm M130) are frequently on closeout

Yep ... that's how I did it. Target had that very item on clearance for less than a dollar a pack. I snagged a bunch of 'em and gave some to my kids. We use 'em on all sorts of devices with LCD displays.

 

Sure we have to trim them; but at less than 10 cents a sheet, who cares?
