Display protection

[wild_oscar]

I was thinking about having some kind of protection for the display of my Canon 20D.

Does anyone know where to buy something like that in Europe?

Thank you all!

I was going to try a screen protector for PDAs and trim it down. Has anybody done this?

I personally used both adhesive from PDA's and from the thicker plastic protector sheet for Flat Panel Monitor displays. When you purchase most Flat Panels, they most come with a protective sheet. It's not as clear but it's very strong. The PDA sheet like for the Palm gives the best view.

If it's only dust protection you need, saran wrap will do.

Agreed. I bought a few packs of PDA screen protectors ("fellowes" brand, I think) on clearance because the PDA Shape/Model they were for had been discontinued. Got them for $1 each (10 or so in each pack) :)

They're the perfect size, are "thick enough" to protect against scratches, and are very clear.

I think that you will find that the LCD screens on the Canon cameras are very durable and don't damage very easily. I put my camera through alot and have yet to see any wear and tear on the lcd. These little gizmos that you can put over your lcd seem to be more of a marketing gimick than a requirement, but that is my opinion.
