What camera do you have? Giottos makes them for several different models.

They make one specifically for the 5D Mark II but I haven't seen them in stock anywhere yet. According to the Giottos site their part # is SP 83012 for the 12 Layer one. Let me know if you find one in stock as well :-)

Apparently others will "Fit" but it isn't one made specifically for it like the one above

Giottos makes some to "Fit" as you stated, but they also make several for specific camera models as shown HERE (external link).

I've tried two that come very close but the 5D MK2 is enough of a departure I sent them back. I'll be waiting for the Giottos SP 83012 to be released.

If anyone finds one post up please :D

I'm also going to check my local "brick & mortar" shop and see about ordering that one specifically.

Isn't there an anti-reflective advantage to the Giottos screen protector, though?

This is in the description of the Giottos Screen Protectors at B&H (external link):

The Giotto AEGIS Glass Screen Protector for the Canon EOS 40D, 50D and 5D Mark II Digital Camera is made with ultra-high quality Schott German glass to preserve the optical properties of the LCD's display. The Schott glass protection is only 0.5mm thick and adds no significant weight or bulk to the camera body. Most importantly, the glass layer protects the screen from impact, chemical damage and scratches which can mar an LCD viewing screen. It affixes to an LCD screen with a thin layer of TESA 4972 very thin filmic double-sided tape which prevents air bubbles from forming under the glass. An added bonus is that the screen is removable and replaceable if it gets scratched or damaged.
AEGIS screen protectors also feature multi-coatings that lower reflections, withstands UV light, and enhances the overall image display. Both sides of the glass are coated with 12 layers of Anti-Reflective (AR) coating that provide an outstanding 98% transmission of light in the 420~680 nm range.

HTH

This is personal preference for sure but I had them on my last 3 bodies and thought they did reduce glare a little. I haven't however added on to my 5D Mark II as of yet and probably won't since all I've read is that the screen already has a protector on it and it is relatively easy to replace if need be.

ALL Canon DSLRs already have a protector on their LCD displays, and they are all easy and inexpensive to replace.

What about the top LCD? I think I've seen protectors for those somewhere before...do any of you use them? I'm guessing the changing out the top LCD is a whole different ballgame than the main LCD and isn't as easy to replace?

Or is it?

I have tried this one and one other GLASS protector. Much better than plastic. Nose grease cleans off much easier.
