I've searched the boards but I haven't really found a straight answer. I've ordered a Canon S100 and I'm looking for the best screen protector that covers 100% of the screen. The GGS glass screen protector for the Canon S95's and various vinyl screen protectors for the Canon S95's leave a 2mm gap on the right-hand edge of the S100 screen. A few people recommend the Lexerd S100 vinyl screen protectors but nobody mentions the fitment, and whether it covers 100% of the S100's screen.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for a screen protector that covers 100% of the screen (not just the 'image' area) without leaving any unprotected gaps on either side. Thank you very much! :D

I use this brand's s95 version on my s95:

They're outstanding. Easy to fit, very good quality.

Not sure if they're available in the US though...

I couldn't live with a self-cut screen protector - if I didn't cut it just right, it'd bug the heck out of me! ;)

Do you have a 2mm unprotected gap on the right hand side of your screen as shown in this picture (external link)? Also, do you notice any more glare than normal either inside or outside in the sun? I've seen a few posts complaining that the GGS glass protectors introduce vast amounts of glare.

Thanks for the replies!

http://xoskins.com (external link) carries those and pretty much anything recent from Canon. They are cut specifically for each camera and don't have orange peel

There is increased glare and a small unprotected gap. The item does a great job of protecting and seems impossible to scratch. The gap, IMO, is very small and irrelavent but the glare is annoying outside in bright light but I deal with it.

I ordered a Lexerd S100 vinyl screen protector and received it the other day. Lo and behold, it's cut small and doesn't cover 100% of the screen - there's a small gap around all the edges! Completely unacceptable for a $15 vinyl screen protector.

Does anyone have any photos of their screen protectors installed on their Canon S100?

Thank you.
