I purchased the Hoodman LCD screen protector because the Nikon D3 did not come with it's own protector. I was a little surprised at this because all the other less expensive Nikons come with one, but on their top of the line camera... they neglect to include it!
Obviously, a protective screen cover can be put there because the necessary recessed clipholders are on the camera... and the Hoodman fits like a glove. It's a very tight fit too in fact. No way is this thing going to accidentally fall off. You have to really pry it off if you want to remove it, and that's a good thing.
It's a bit expensive for a piece of clear plastic, but considering the item it is protecting, it's worth it. I rate this 4 stars simply because of the cost. But in performance... it's a five star item.

I wanted to get this to protect the LCD of my lovely D3. Unfortunately, not only is this expensive (come on Nikon and include this with the body) but is surprisingly resistant to what I thought would be a simple "snap-on". It doesn't click into place like one would expect, and you may end up placing quite a bit of pressure to make sure this is held in place. If there is a better solution out there I would be happy to hear it so I can replace this.

Comments about Hoodman H-CAPD3 Hoodcap LCD Cap for the Nikon D3 and D3x Digital Cameras:
it fits securely on my D3S yet is removable if necessary. I am accustomed to getting one of these when I buy a new Nikon body I guess the manufacturer just couldn't go the extra buck or 2 it would have cost them to include this with the $5200 D3S body. get one before your screen gets scratched. cheap insurance.

Comments about Hoodman H-CAPD3 Hoodcap LCD Cap for the Nikon D3 and D3x Digital Cameras:
I worked at photography about 50 yrs. Now I do it just to relax. It relives my mind that I have protection of damageing the back. I found that just breathing on it fogs the spot under it then it clears up in time.

Comments about Hoodman H-CAPD3 Hoodcap LCD Cap for the Nikon D3 and D3x Digital Cameras:
perfect fit
protects the LCD screen on my D3s
just what i was looking for
however the mounting instructions provided are not correct - on the newer models there is NO protective film on the outside surface of HoodCap - hence NOTHING to peel away
Hoodman Co. should correct this

D3 Hoodman is a more secure fit on D3 than were Hoodmans for the D2X and D1X due to better D3 mounting design.
