Product Highlights
- For Nikon D3, D3x and D3s SLR Digital Cameras, Fuji X-S1
Most LCD screen protectors fall into one of two main categories; the plastic stick-on sheet or the flip-up housing. Stick-on sheets are prone to peeling off, bubbling, and have no positive optical qualities while LCD hoods or screen covers add bulk and are cumbersome while only minimally preserving the LCD image.
The Giotto AEGIS Glass Screen Protectors are very different in as much as they protect the screen with ultra-high quality Schott German glass while preserving the optical properties of the LCD's display. The Schott glass protection is only 0.5mm in width 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 a LCD viewing screen. It affixes to a LCD screen with a thin layer of 3M brand double-sided tape, which prevents the risk of air bubbles forming under the glass. An added bonus is that the screen is removable and replaceable if it gets scratched or damaged.
AEGIS 80 Series 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.
- Highly Transmissive Glass
- Elite Schott glass protects and clarifies LCD images
- AR Coatings
- 12 Layers improve LCD backlight transmission while reducing reflections or glare
- Includes Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth
- Micro-fiber cloth can be used to clean dirt and grease not only off the LCD protector but also off all of the other camera surfaces; plastic, metal or glass
- Compatibility
- For Nikon D3, D3x and D3s SLR Digital Cameras, Fuji X-S1

I've added this protector to the screen of my Nikon D3 and I love it! The one and only drawback is that the words "Nikon D3" on the back under the screen are now covered by the word "Giottos". This glass protector becomes a part of the camera and is far superior to the plastic snap-on versions from makers like Hoodman. I've found there to be no degradation in the viewing of information on the screen. This is definitely a worthwhile investment!

I love this product for its near-perfect protection of the main 3" monitor screen of the Nikon D3 series, but I was disappointed that it did not include protection for the top and rear control panels as shown on the manufacturer's international website. Though the part number is the same for the 3-piece kit on the international site, it seems that only the 1-piece version is available in the US as of 11/2010.

This screen protector is very high quality. I have used the plastic covers before but this is what you want. Cost a little more but worth it.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
My Nikon D3S camera didn't come with one of the cheap plastic rear LCD screen protectors. So I started looking for something to put over mine to keep it from scratching. The best and relatively similar in price was this Aegis Pro glass optic screen protector. This screen protector is awesome, the layered glass is thin, yet very durable. Since it is optic glass, there is no glare when using outside and it seals so no moisture gets between it and the LCD screen.It is easy to install and removing it takes a little work because of the seal.I am ordering one to fit on my other Nikon cameras and junking the plastic covers.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
Product is clear and protects the rear LCD monitor.
I rated it 4 instead of a 5. The self stick strips are extremely tacky, once it is on it is extremely difficult to remove. Be sure to line it up correclty the first time. You do not want to have to re-align it.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
I have used other screen protectors in the past and this one works like a charm. The only comment that I could make that others have not is how it works in fridgid temps. I shoot college football and some of the night games go below freezing. Other screen protectors I have used fog up when my breath gets underneath it. This one does not.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
Properly installed, looks like part of the camera. No bubbles, no scratches, clear "as a bell". On the negative, you have to be very, very careful when "installing" the screen. Not much room for re-adjusting once contact is made.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
Bought these LCD Protectors for all three of my Nikons.
Found no problem installing them and they really do brighten the screen up.
There are cheaper versions of this product on the market but they are not sold under the AEGIS name and they only have 6 layers of glass. Do yourself a favor and get the best--it will certainly pay you back in the long run.

Comments about Giottos SP8304 AEGIS Professional Glass Optic Screen Protector - 12 Layer:
This is a much better option than the Hoodman in my opinion, the high quality glass this item is made from has no effect on the quality of image on the LCD screen, if anything there is slightly less glare when viewing in strong light than when looking at the original LCD screen on the camera. I've fitted this product to both my Nikon D3 and D3s. The cleaning cloth provided is also of good quality and works well at cleaning off any marks on the screen. Very easy to fit
