I tried the Zagg protectors...twice...too sticky made installation not so easy...expensive
ZAGG | invisibleSHIELD | Leather, Cases, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Invisible Shield
I tried Screenpatronus ...3 years....good protector ...easy to install...degrades viewability/brightness of the screen (especially non LED backlit screens)... cheaper..
screenpatronus items in screen protector store on eBay!
I tried NuShield DayVue...good protector ...easy to install... doesn't degrade brightness of screen but is very reflective showing my own reflection in the screen ... Midpriced ...
NuShield
Now I use NO screen protector and just clean it more often thru the day...

Frequently Asked Questions What products can be used to clean my display?
Humminbird recommends using Windex® Vinegar Multi Surface(in the spray bottle).Do NOT use any wipes products (which can also be available as the brand name Windex Multi-Task).
The lens contains a special coating which improves visibility. It is recommend to use the above cleaner because we have tested and proved this cleaner. It does not deteriorate the coatings on the lens.
Golly gee I hope my spit isn't corrosive...:yikesQuote:

I don't have a protector using the win multi surface, clean them everyday I get back from fishing, have had really good luck do far.

Rickie I like that strong black coffee!
+1 on the Vinegar Windex. That is what I have been using for several years. I put some in a small spray bottle and keep it in the boat. I refill from a bigger bottle when I am getting low.
I installed the NuShield on my Lowrance. The manufacturer told me in an email that the protector actually enhances the anti glare feature of the lens coating. That's hogwash.
As Rickie said, it is highly reflective. I wanted one to protect from scratches and it does do that, at the sacrifice of any anti glare properties.
