Yes, they are just covers over the LCD and are held in place with a piece of die cut doubleback tape. Use a small suction cup to lift one corner, and peel it off with your fingers. Its a 5 minute job.

Thanks for that, good to know.

I just posted a question in the XO Skins thread but thought I would do the same here as there seem to be more people on this one:

Do the XO screen protectors have a rippled (bumpy) effect like the Zagg protectors? Are they easy to remove if I were to decide I don't like them?

Its made for taking pictures. There will be wear and marks, no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
Its like... a woman. Having real fun leaves minor or bigger scratches, sweat, sticky blotches,...depending on your preferences, perhaps. But unavoidable. :o
I hope for your girlfriend that you don't think about her value after a possible breakup when you turn off the light in the evening :)

Worst analogy ever, ha ha.

I'd much rather have a static-cling type like on my cell phone to be honest.. those liquid/squeegie ones annoy me. I want an oily nose-protector to keep it off the damn screen :p

They reduce oil from your nose and fingers, I notice WAY less on every screen I have their stuff on, my ipod being the worst offender.

I just responded to it on there, I will here as well. Everyone calls that orange peel. XO Skins doesn't have that.

why do you think you need a screenprotector?

for the record I have a 2nd hand 4-5 year old 40d, I dont use a camera bag (just throw it in a backpack), and it has no real scratches on it.

I wouldn't bother with a screen protector. (Reminds me.. I never understood how in previous years many nikon camera's shipped with the bulky screen protector by default. Thats like telling your consumer, hey.. the display is prone to scratches, but instead of fixing the display, we're gonna throw on this ugly piece of plastic. (-- sorry, Im a designer..this stuff frustrates me :P))

I ordered the XO skin and received it the other day and removed it hours later. I didn't like how it didn't cover up the entire screen. It's off by a few mm. Also I couldn't get rid of some air bubbles no matter how much I squeegeed it and waited for the bubbles to dissipate. The material felt solid though. 13 bucks down the drain. Looks like I'll go screen protectorless.

The XO skins stuff is crap.
It doesn't even fit the MK3 screen properly.
The back is off by a few mm but the top is way off?

I guess I just wasted two pints of Guinness to figure this out :(

I don't like how finger prints and nose oil seem to cloud up the LCD screen so easily, so I'm considering a protector. I guess when the screen is actually on you can't see the smudginess, but I still find it irritating! I have a glass GGS protector on my 7D, which is also the frame for the ggs loupe, and it seems to be easier to wipe clean.

Try Martin Fields screen protectors. They've it available for 5D Mark III. They're extremely clear and personally I think they're way better than the flimsy ones. You can probably find them on Amazon or order them from their website.

XO skins has a protector for the 5DM3. Just got mine a couple days ago. About $11 on their website. http://xoskins.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-screen-protector

So what's the verdict, some people are saying they don't fit properly, is that true or are there different batches out there? I hate the smudginess of plain glass :/

I purchased the xoskins and they end up in the garbage! for one, they are sort of sticky (both sides) and crumble easily. I installed the top LCD cover only, then took it off. The amount of liquid they want you to spray is crazy, I am sure some of it will end up in the camera.

For the time being, I purchased the biggest clear mobile screen protector and cut with photo paper cutter to fit both LCDs and its great so far...with no liquids on my hands or the cam!!
