Screen protector for X-E1?

Drewpy · Dec 15, 2012

I hate to ask this, but when I SEARCH I don't find much. Some say the GGS 3" is good, some say Giottos, B+H has the Vella... I can't find anything that says "For the X-E1" ....

Anything for the X100 will work beautifully. Same screen.

Micro solutions for the x100 work pretty well. Pricey. Can find on amazon.

GGS 3" is perfect. £2.90 on e-bay.

I cut a spare one I had for my cell phone. Works great.

Yup, just installed one on mine. Have had them on about three or four cameras in the past with only good experiences.

I have a Vello GSP-C7D Glass LCD Screen Protector, from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BGUPZ2/. Seems perfect.

I also recommend the GGS 3". Install it slightly to the right so the icons aren't blocked. About perfect fit. It's glass so no worries about scratching when you clean it like you would with a plastic film protector.

Giottos 3.0" Generic works fine and is great quality, compared to all those cheap imitations.

TexasBuyer · Dec 15, 2012

Yes, I just installed the 3.0" Giottos (model with 12 anti-reflective coatings/layers) as well. As some others have posted, the border with the adhesive is rather wide, so you have to align the viewable left portion of the window wi the left portion of the rear LCD, so that only a small portion of the display Zoom in/out and the "trash can" icons are covered up. So far, so good with the image quality.

I can't quite figure out the GGS... at Amazon, it says it's 1.07? The Vello is 15.00, the Giottos is around 25.00? I guess I want the least reflection in sunlight.

I haven't tested the Vello very scientifically or under particularly bad circumstances, but in casual use I don't notice the Vello or any reflections.

I never use protection. The camera will die before the screen.

Try "Vello GSP-3", a little bit on expensive side comparing to already mentioned screen protectors... however size and quality is perfect for X-E1

ps: it says 3" but perfectly fits to X-E1 screen without blocking any icon on left side.

Giottos (I called) said use the one for the X100, SP 8306. I have not put it on yet but it is the one I bought from BH. It is $30 anywhere you look.

I use Lexerd TrueVue on all my LCDs. Easy to apply, great protection.
