Very interesting, Mikan. Yesterday I bought my G9X camera, and also ordered the G9X Expert Shield. I wonder which version I'll get -- maybe mark 3?

The company is very good, and their shield is excellent. A few years ago, I tried several other brands, and was very disappointed. But since I first got an Expert Shield, I'm sold. The shield is thin, strong, clear, easy to clean and transmits a bright, contrasty image from the LCD.

Thanks for your information. I'll also keep the forum posted on what I get.

Tom, it will be version 3. Lynn also noticed that the height was not quite perfect, and she was right, it needs to be trimmed about 0.5mm. They are also going to add about 1mm to the width. She is going to stop the shipment on Monday so that nobody would receive a poorly cut protector. After they make a final version, they are going to send me one as a "thank you" gift, too!

I agree with you on the quality of Expert Shields. I've used Guarmor Shield, too, but theirs is a hit-or-miss; some fit perfectly but some just don't have airtight fit in the corners. That's probably why Guarmor Shield sends three protectors for about the same price as the one protector from Expert Shields. And it's a lot harder to remove Expert Shields protectors than Guarmor Shield protectors. Expert Shields protectors really stay well.

P.S. I hope you are enjoying your new G9X!
