    Questions About Aftermarket Screen Protectors

    I hate the crystal case, and it won't be available for my M6 SP for much longer, anyway... I love the silicone, but it offers no screen protection, whatsoever. I have decided to look into the aftermarket screen protectors/films. Has anyone had any experience with these, and any recommendations/warnings about any of them? I am thinking about the DuraSec HighTec screen protector , but would prefer to see if anyone else has experience with these, or any recommendations for others that have been worked out for them. Another option I have considered is invisibleSHIELD™ . Although this is designed for the iPod classic, it is slightly bigger than the the M6's screen, and would work well, when using a silicone case. They also have a lifetime warranty, if the film ever gets a scratch. If anyone has tried either of these, or knows of another source that has worked out for them, any help would be appreciated.

    *edit* I decided to go with the invisishield... This video sold me on it... comparison_video

    I'll report back with my results when I get it.

    I'd be interested to hear how the protector fits the M6 screen as I'm considering getting one of these too.

    I notice they do custom orders - perhaps if there's enough interest from users here, we could get them to organise some batch production... I'd do a custom order myself, but there's no way of knowing how much the finished product will cost..!

    I thought about doing the custom order... It costs $5 to get them to make the template, with precise measurements. Then you figure in what they are charging for full face shields for comparable products... Looking at $30-$40. That is why I decided to go with one that would cover the viewable screen area, and I will just get a couple silicone cases, in case mine gets gets messed up.

    I just received it today. Installed exactly as directions stated. Looks like I made a good choice in guesstimating the screen size, as the ipod classics supposed 2.5" screen is apparently just a couple hairs bigger (literally) than the M6's 2.4" screen. I had about a hairs width extra on all sides.

    Follow the directions carefully, wash your hands really good before putting it on the M6 and you should be all set. It took me a couple attempts to get it positioned right, but thankfully since they provide a spray that you put on the screen protector and your fingers before install, this went without a hitch.

    A good product overall, I would recommend it. It is definately thicker and feels much more durable than the film that the M6 comes with.

    Since I plan to keep my M6 in a silicone case, the viewable screen area is the only part I was concerned with getting a scratch. The ipod 80/160GB Classic screen protector is perfect for this.

    Considering that I live a half day drive from where it was shipped from, and it took a week to get here... I would not recommend going with their free shipping, unless you are OK with waiting.
