Do you have any pictures of the reduced glare ?
Does it also improve the readibility ?

Thanks in advance for the info !

hey guys,
when i first put the 3m film on, i thought the sensitivity of touchscreen was unchanged but now i am noticing that the touchscreen sensitivity is variable. (sigh)
still in search of a good anti-glare touchscreen film. sorry for letting u all down.
i want to get that anti-glare film by sony, specifically made for our machine.. but i can't find it anywhere in north america. only in the UK sonystore. anyone have any luck?

i found an alternative but a bit weary to try this out. it's a seller from ebay who only sells anti-glare screen protectors for touchscreen devices. what do u guys think?

I tried this one earlier (see my message earlier within this thread). The seller is ok and his service also. The screenprotector is NOT mat. The protector increases the contrast and makes the characters better readable. However the glare is increased !
I decided not to use this one. The 3M one is better in respect to the glare.

I had decided to get the Lexard brand of screen protector until I saw your note. Have you used the Lexard one? Does the ClearTouch screen protector really work better in your opinion to justify the extra expense?

I have the Lexerd Anti glare one, it is just OK. It does its job by protecting the screen without losing in clarity. Concerning the glare, it does not reduce it at all but at least it does not increase it... So i'm still looking for the perfect anti glare screen protector.

Hi again,
I ordered a DIFFERENT screen protector from 3m this time. they make a few different types. anyway, this second one i tried is awesome. touch screen is great, completely unaffected by the screen. and the glare is not there anymore. i can read it in any angle in any light condition and it's no problem. I've had the product on my prs600 for more than a week now and i'm really happy with this one. no loss of clarity either! makes reading way easier.

i just have to figure out which of these anti-glare films i ordered this 2nd time around from 3m. I'm not sure whether i ordered the ARMR200, or the light control film. i emailed them but they haven't gotten back to me which product they sent me.

Highly recommend you all to get this. and it's free. just need to cut it to our specifications. Here is the link where i ordered these samples from:

yeah the 3m one is great! i have tried two 3m anti-glare films so far. the first one was bad. touch screen turned unresponsive with the film. but the second one was perfect and i have used it for over a week so far. no complaints and actually made the reading experience far more comfortable on the eyes and to my fingers/stylus. highly recommend the 2nd film i tried. (see my other post for details)

I'd love to know which one it turned out to be...

And there should be a really quick way to find out which one it is:

- Turn the 600 so you are looking at the screen nearly on-edge rather than face-on (like you would normally)... can you see the screen or does it seem to go dark as you tilt it?

- Is the screen gloss or matte?

That sounds very promising. If they email you back please let us know which one you ordered.

Are there any techniques involved when putting it on the PRS 600?

Does ClearTouch™ Anti-Glare - Sony PRS-600BC really work?

Thank you

no real special technique, but i will give you some tips:
-measure and cut the sheet before applying it to your reader!
-after you put it on the first time, don't try taking it off and re-sticking it because there will be a lot of dust stuck on it. i was not able to wash it clean afterwards.
bonus: it comes with a hard plastic smoothing tool too, to help you squeeze out the bubbles from underneath the film after you apply it.

ps: they said i ordered the ARMR200 anti-reflective film!

1) it doesn't go dark when i tilt it. i guess it's not the polarizing film.. must be the armr200 then :P
2) the screen is a very nice MATTE!!

let's see all of your posts to know how you all like it!

I ordered the ARMR200. I'll let you know how it goes for me.

It seems that you first ordered the AMR200. You said afterwards that your touchscreen lost in sensitivity...

And now, you are saying that the AMR200 film you got as sample is awesome. Can you please confirm that it is really the AMR200 film which is effective ?

Thanks for all these experiments
