Re: LCD protector
A German ebay seller has some that are advertised as being made for the Neo 1973 (and should thus work fine on the Freerunner as it has the same case and screen dimensions): http://cgi.ebay.de/18x-Schutzfolie-Computer-Neo-1973-Tuch_W0QQitemZ290145736835QQihZ019QQcategoryZ38950QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 They are a little too big but work well nonetheless. It's difficult to attach them without bubbles, though. However, you get 18 of them so you can practice a lot. I can't remember whether the instructions that came with it were in German or in English... It amounts to slowly attaching the protector millimeter for millimeter while all the time rubbing out the bubbles. I've heard this works best in a wet environment. Obviously there shouldn't be much dust around and you should clean your screen properly.

Re: LCD protector
i wrote to the shop of nexave.de (german shop for screen protectors) and they would sale a special freerunner protector and also make custom protectors. they told me that the protectors of the nokia n95 would fit for the freerunner. i think with enough people who want to by a protector they will add the protector to their shop or make a good price.

Re: LCD protector
My Neo1973 had a protector sheet on it when it arrived back in July. It had a small tab in one corner to pull it off with which I cut back a bit. It is pulled away very slightly at one edge, and has tiny imperfections so I am sure it is still there. It is invisible in use. At one time you had to buy them to fit the particular device, but I saw a general purpose one you cut to size yourself in Dick Smiths last week. clare On Sat, 12 Apr 2008, Nick Guenther wrote: On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 5:13 PM, Ajit Natarajan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, A friend of mine who owns an iPhone purchased an LCD protector.
