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.

This is my second Giottos screen protector, after ordering one for my Canon G9, and I'll never go with a different LCD protector. It fits the XTi LCD perfectly, and only adheres to the outer black edge of the screen, so it won't damage the screen at all. So far it has been very durable, and doesn't impact the image quality from the LCD at all. My only suggestion is to carefully clean the inside of the glass before placing it on the camera - I neglected to do this with the protector on my G9 and there is still some residue on it which can be seen when the screen is black or if it is displaying darker colors. I gave it a quick clean before sticking on the XTi and it looks great!

I put mine on the first day i purchased my 400D and me and my bud's were riding in the car when we hit a bump and my friend dropped my camera while reviewing some picture's, i picked it up and the screen was cracked and i was shocked, i had only had the camera for a month and the screen is broken. So i look closely and notice maybe the screen is fine and it's just the protective screen, so i ripped it off and the screen was fine! I was so happy, this protector saved my camera screen.

The package itself has a slide gauge you can put up to your camera to make sure it fits before purchasing. Easier to buy in stores to make sure its correct.

If you can apply it properly it might serve the purpose. The glass itself is visibly of the highest quality. the fixing adhesive tape does not stay flat and once uneven there is no return. straigt to the bin. waste of money.

After two weeks, the corner of the screen is into pieces. And I don't even remember banging my camera into something. It still works though, still protecting the real screen and still making the screen less foggy after you've rested your chin on it.

Easily installed. Now we aren't as worried about minor bumps and thumps to the screen while we are out enjoying nature. And if we scratch the Screen Protector, it can be removed and another installed without affecting the value of the camera.

Great protection for a vulnerable part of any camera that has a viewing screen. It is quite easy to install. While it can be removed with some difficulty, it would be nice if it were easy to remove, clean and reinstall.

It was exactly what I needed. It works perfectly. You can't tell that there is a screen over the screen to protected it, except that I put mine on a little crooked.

The optical clarity of this screen protector is the best I've seen. It greatly reduces glare on the display, unlike snap on plastic protectors or those cheap film coverings. This Giottos screen protector has saved my display from being broken when the back of my camera bumped into something (the Giottos protector cracked, but my display was saved). A clear film covering just wouldn't provide such protection. I'll definitely buy another one when I get my new camera. Now I just have to decide on what camera to get :)

Protect your LCD screen with an Aegis Pro Glass Optic Screen Protector. The cost is a low price to pay to keep your LCD clean, clear, bright and scratch-free. I bought one for my XTi and it has saved my screen over and over again. I wouldn't be without one.
It's as easy to install as a bandage and protects for the life of the camera. I can only imagine what my screen would look like if I hadn't put an Aegis on it.
