BobR,
Great article!
Grab a Zodiac and a package of Fellowes WriteRight Screen protectors for the NX series from CompUSA. Although the website says they're out of stock, you should be able to find them in the clearance bin for under $6. They will fit
almost perfectly, being slightly undersized in their width (in portrait mode, and only about 1 or 2mm). The most important part of your screen to protect, the VG area, will be well covered if applied properly.
That will allow your prized new Zodiac's screen to remain pristine while you order
Martin Fields Overlays, which are among the best screen protectors around.
I had a few spare WriteRights for my former device, a Clie NX70V, so that's exactly what I did while I waited for my Martin Field's Overlays to arrive.
