Before they had custom fit protectors I would just buy one of them for a tablet PC for $10 off the big auction place. I would then just trace it out and cut it out with a fresh razor blade. You can usually do a few machines this way. If you still have the factory plastic screen protector that can work as a template too.

After I sent a detector in and it had water in it I go with cover now. But I may still put a cover on my screen as I like my stuff looking new. For some reason my digger wants to hit the screen when I take the digger out of my belt. Since I deal with some extreme heat, is there any certain brand that may hold up better instead of bargain piece? I have a nice machine and I have already had to repair the covers. I just like the best of the best sir as my wife calls it lol.

I've just used the Zagg brand not only on detectors but on smart phones and tablets. Never as issue with heat or cold, don't peel off. The real trick with any of them is to make sure the surface is clean and free of even dust specs before you lay it on. Otherwise you may notice slight bumps under the film.

ZAGG makes an incredibly durable screen protector. I love the one on my E-Trac and I custom cut one for my CTX. I put one on a GPS before my iraq deployment and abused the hell out of it. It still has the same zagg cover on it and the screen is still like brand new underneath it.

I make my own out of heavy grade clear vinyl sold at wallmart for tablecloths. The material is soft and durable and cheap enouh to change anytime. I cut the shape then use thin strips of black duct tape to attach it to the display.
