LCD Screen Protectors

Has anyone used the LCD protectors? I assume they are some kind of self-adhesive film, but I'm not sure about sticking anything to the screen. Would like to keep everything shiny and new as long as possible though.

So, on my second DSLR I used the films. I bought them for PDAs and cut them down to size. I never did manage to put one on without bubbles. I wear my camera as a stroll and after a few weeks the film would start peeling off. So, I bought a glass cover made by Giotto. It stayed on my camera.

Putting them on without bubbles is easier when you use the method that Zagg uses for the InvisibleShields. Spraying the sticky side with a very diluted soap solution does the trick. It allows for some movement of the film when you apply it and you can easily push out the bubbles with a credit card and when it dries you will allmost certainly end up with a protector without bubbles.

The glass screens from giotto look very good as well, but I couldn't find a distributor for it in the Netherlands and importing was very expensive. The stores in the US that offered it asked for about 50 dollars in shipping and handling...
