Anybody used it to protect the screen?

Currently got a screen protector from amazon but its lasted about 3 weeks and its covered in scratches!

Does the touch screen still work with 3M Helicopter Tape and is it optically clear enough to see the screen?

Used copter tape on my 500 and it works fine to be truthful it’s holding the screen together after a off cracked it.

I think that would be a bad idea. Try another brand of screen protector, helicopter tape will be nigh on impossible to remove so what will you do when that is scratched!

i got an ipad screen protector and just cut it to size, when it either peels off or gets too scratched, just cut another bit out. Works out pretty cheap, i got it in tesco for about £3

Good idea about using a iPad protector.

Is there such a thing as a diamond grade screen protector? Highly scratch resistant??

Good god people are so precious about the latest gizmos!! never even thought about protecting my Garmin its supposed to be used outdoors in filth! 🙄

Why the hell not, it’s not as if they are cheap! You can’t get much more abrasive than Peak Grit!

Use this German company all the time ! Cheap as chips : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x-screen-protector-ultraclear-Garmin-edge-800-/170746915354?pt=UK_CE_GPS_Accessories_Software_ET&hash=item27c14f2a1a#ht_991wt_1396

Awesome bit link there doodlebug – just picked up 18 screen protectors for £3 posted.

Ace!!

Recommend getting a Zagg screen protector, bit pricey but worth it if applied properly. Needs to go over the gap between the screen and edge, this is the weak point of the 800, with my first 800 I tried to remove some grit that got in the gap only to crack the screen – albit only a tiny crack but enought to get a replacement under warranty.
