Was very easy to apply, no cutting needed.

At first I though it was a little high priced but when you think of what you are protecting (equipment worth over $2,000.00 that's pretty cheap.

I have used the same screen protection film for 6 months on my iPhone and the tough film has saved the phone's screen from damage. I look for the same protection for my 496.

Pros
Should help protect my expensive 496 from future sratches.
Cons
Makes the screen image look a little fuzzy now.
General Comments
Way over priced. I only bought it because I don't want any more scratches to my 496. My real overal rating is a 3.5, really due to the price. I would be more inclined to recommend this product if it were priced between $10-$12, but how much is the screen protection worth? One of those Gotchas!

All cons. A bad product.

Not a good product. Very unhappy with it. Left a lot of bubbles during installation, even with the squegee. Had to buy a second one because the first one was unusable. Would not buy it again.

Pros
Seems like it'll be durable. Doesn't detract from the screen quality on my 496 at all. Was very easy to apply, and you don't have to get it perfect on the first try, as it's easy to lift back up and re-align if you're not happy the first time.
Cons
I thought it could have been fractionally larger, but certainly big enough to cover all but the very edges of the screen.
General Comments
I would definitely recommend this as an effective way of keeping a very expensive device scratch-free. I have always been ultra-careful with my 496, but quickly accumulated some tiny, almost invisible scratches. I decided to buy this to preempt the accumulation of enough of them that they would become noticeable.

Pros
Protects the Garmin's screen and is transparent--I forget it's there.
Cons
Seems overpriced, but probably not if the screen is safe.
General Comments
Overpriced, but I still would recommend it.
