Default Deciding Nav Screen Protector

Sick of all the fingerprints on the nav screen, so I'm looking at getting a cover for it. I recently got my phone and iPod wrapped by Zagg Invisible Shield, although expensive, feels good and secure. The Nav screen cover isn't that much, but it doesn't have one for the ISx50, only one they have is for a GS470, which should be same size yeah? Other option I was looking at was the Aerotect shield, which I'm guessing many of you have. How is it for fingerprints, and ease of installing?

Thanks!

i got mine from ebay, i think the seller is called screen patrons or something, excellent quality, and never any issues with finger prints again.

i have the aerotech installed and its great. install is really easy, pretty much the same as installing the zagg shield. clean the screen real good, and install the plastic slowly to prevent bubbles.

i have the zagg installed on my ipod and its great against sharp objects in your pocket, but i dont think you need that much durability for your nav screen.

I got my invisible shield done for free on my phone. Wonder if they will do my nav. I should ask...

Hope I'm not too late... The Zagg is a film similar to our clear bra... which I believe will require spraying your nav with a liquid solution... We're not a fan of spraying electronics with water.

Our screen protector is installed dry, and is compatible with touch screen applications. Also, ours features an anti glare layer, and the film is designed to minimize fingerprints.

Beyond that, should you decide to replace your protector down the road, our screen protectors are designed to leave minimal adhesive residue on the screen, if any.

You can find details on our nav screen protectors here: http://aerotect.net/Nav-Screen-Protection.html

I have the screen protector from aerotect. Still is a fingerprint magnet. Nothing special.

Still haven't gotten it, thanks for chiming in. Adjuster is going to the dealership once more on Wednesday to look at the car, and repairs will start from there. Probably going to be purchasing it around next year. I'm just trying to find something to prevent all the fingerprints and help with the glare. I think I have oily/greasy fingers and so that's where the fingerprints come from. So far with my iPod and BB that are Zagg wrapped, haven't seen any fingerprints whatsoever.

Sorry to bring this back, went with Aerotect. Picked it up at Longo Lexus for $14.99, cheaper than getting it from Aerotect, and installed it in 2 minutes. Feels good and so far fingerprint free. I think it has a lot to do with how oily your fingers are though, so we'll see. Overall happy though!
