WORKS WITH LCDVF AT THE SAME TIME!!
Snap-On LCD Screen Protector works perfect. Installs the same way the original eye piece does. i just wish that it was a bit smaller so it wouldn't cover the Canon logo in half......Read complete review
Snap-On LCD Screen Protector works perfect. Installs the same way the original eye piece does. i just wish that it was a bit smaller so it wouldn't cover the Canon logo in half...No big deal. And yes, you don't have to remove your existing film LCD protector that you had before you bought this item. Leave it there if it still looks look new.
If you shoot VIDEO...
How to combine both items setup:
1-Install the Snap-On LCD Screen Protector on the camera's LCD, according with the manual.
2- Place the LCDVF's metal magnetic frame on the already installed Snap-On LCD Screen Protector insted of placing it directly on the camera's LCD.
3- To remove the LDCVF from the camera, gently pull it out + downwards, not straight at you so you won't lift the Snap-On LCD Screen Protector because if the magnets. Note that the Snap-On LCD Screen Protector is installed at the camera;s viewfinder therefore the bottom will lift. It's just common sense...
To remove everything from the camera. Remove the Snap-On LCD Screen Protector and everything is gone! All you see is the camera's bare LCD screen!
I'm so glad that I don't have to place that nasty sticker from the LCDVF's metal frame directly onto my Mark III's LCD as it will be a nightmare to remove when I had to take it off to sell my 5D Mark II.
So there you have it! Place the LCDVF when shooting video and remove when you are shooting stills THUS having a full LCD UV GLASS protection!!

I thought I would really like this. I got it based on the many reviews with high ratings. However, it moves around way too much because it's not a tight fit. Makes me nervous that some dust will get in between the screen and the screen protector and do some massive scratching!

I woks very good and it is easy to install. Only one thing is not 100% ideal - when you look through the viewfinder you need to stick your eye right on to see 100% coverage otherwise your distance from the viewfinder get a little block buy additional piece of plastic this cover provide.
I am happy with this product and also bought the Delkin Devices Snug-It Pro Skin.

I snapped it on while traveling back home. I loved the easy of installation and looked very native on the camera.. Its made of glass and pictures look great, I see no quality degrade. I love this product. I cary my camera in my backpack with lots of other stuff, am sure this will protect the lcd from scratching..
Only issue I found with this is that its not a tight fit. you could move the protector, which make me think that I may be damaging the view finder....

I don't need to hesitate if I want to take it off.
When I put a glass on LCD, there is something trouble to take it off.
It is so simple however it bothers my view finder vision little bit.

This screen protector - get this... PROTECTS the screen on my 5d mkiii. Crazy, right? I don't see any noticeable artifacts from using it. The only nuisance is that it shifts from side to side.
Best thing, I always forget that it's there, until I noticed that it has shifted. Then I'm like, oh yeah, that's my screen protector - WORD!
Aside from the shift, which is almost unworthy of being mentioned, there's nothing to say about the construction other than it seems to be of good quality.
no real complaints...

Fit and quality was very good, really like the product. Be aware that it removes the eye just a little further from the viewfinder. If you wear glasses you cannot quite see the entire viewfinder, as you can without the screen protector.

Just received my Vella screen protector. I was skeptical because I have never been able to use the plastic protector sheets, usually ripping them off the first time I go out for a shoot. This screen protector is amazing and so clear. It doesn't feel or look like you have added anything to this camera. It is very easy to remove and put on. It even comes with a case to store it when not in use.

Comments about Vello Snap-On LCD Screen Protector for Canon 5D Mark III:
Since I frequently view my pictures right after I take them, protecting the LCD screen on my camera is very important. I have tried the clear film that is supposed to stay on the LCD, but it never does. Protectors with adhesive around the edge stay on for awhile but then they start slipping around and finally fall off. It can also be difficult to find the right size of adhesive screen protector. The Vello Snap-on LCD protector was made specifically for my Canon 5D Mark III so it fits perfectly, convering the entire screen without interfering with the buttons on either side of the scree. It installs easily and seems to be well made so that it will actually protect the LCD screen and will hopefully last for a long time. Excellent quality of photos on LCD screen. It seems to reduce the amount of glare on the screen.

Comments about Vello Snap-On LCD Screen Protector for Canon 5D Mark III:
This product slides over the viewfinder after you remove the eyepiece and then the eyepiece goes back on over it, its great as there it feels sturdily built into the camera instead of cheaply stuck on, i highly recommend this product.

Comments about Vello Snap-On LCD Screen Protector for Canon 5D Mark III:
Easy to install, easy to remove, doesn't obscure any part of the screen, minimal affect on screen brightness and none on color. Fits great, looks fine. Plus it has the added benefit of extending the eyepiece by about 1/4 inch, so my nose isn't so pressed up against the body. It's kind of a big nose.
Quality and peace of mind, relatively on the cheap. Recommended.

I really wanted to protect my LCD screen. I didn't want the mess of the peel and stick nor the sticky covers. I really like this cover because it protects the LCD screen but it is an easy way to keep the view finder dust free too (it slips on easily and covers both viewing points). I would recommend this product over other options out there!

Snap it on and forget about it. This simple accessory provides protective peace of mind from scratches and fingerprints (without the adhesive nonsense). Good investment if you intend to ever resell your camera body.
