View Full Version : Samurai screen protector?
Bruce Schultz June 12th, 2012, 12:23 PM I've looked through my old smartphone and even Hoodman screen protectors but not yet found a perfect size match for the Samurai screen. Anyone have screen protector suggestions for a good fit? I won't mind cutting something down either, and I'm not bothered by any resolution loss - greasy fingers on a screen annoy the heck out of me though.

Cut your own to fit.

Stops glare and scratches etc.
I use these on my ipad and iphone.. best there is I beleive.
Bruce Schultz June 15th, 2012, 02:42 PM Thanks, it did finally occur to me that just getting a large iPad sized screen protector and cutting it to fit was probably the best way to go.
Geoff Addis June 18th, 2012, 02:05 AM Does the ZAG protector allow you to see the Samurai screen adequately to focus in bright sunlight? I have found that even with a 6 inch long, four sided hood that this is not possible, even in the grey days of an English summer!
James Kuhn June 18th, 2012, 09:30 AM Geoff Addis...have you down-loaded the latest Firm-Ware? V. 3.0 seems to have increased the Samurai screen brightness. To me, it seems pretty good, but I'm not a great judge. I built a 'three-sided' monitor shade from Matte-Board and Gaffer's tape that really helps with the Sun.

Bill Koehler June 18th, 2012, 12:26 PM Another readily available possibility is the screen protector for the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. Available at book stores nationwide (USA).
Tim Bradley June 25th, 2012, 05:00 PM Yes, I have updated to v.3, but I'm seeing very little, if any difference in brightness!

I agree, I have not noticed any change in screen brightness with the new firmware V3.
Thanks for the tips on screen protectors !!
James Kuhn June 28th, 2012, 11:21 AM Well, I definitely notice a difference in screen brightness as well as the screen is ~1/8" narrower (1/16" less top and bottom) then it was before. ATOMOS confirmed this in one of their video pieces from NAB '2012.
JMHO, YMMV.
Regards,
J.
Geoff Addis June 29th, 2012, 03:49 PM Mmmm! Don't see any difference in picture size either, but just about to update to 3.01 perhaps that will change things or perhaps there are different LCDs being used.
