p.1 #1 · question on that little plastic LCD cover
Is the little LCD cover necessary? Is the LCD prone to scratching? I never used one on my Pentax for 3 years, and the lcd is still as nice as the day I got it. I just don't want to remove the thing if its going to bugger my lcd on my D300. It (the cover, not the LCD) is already covered with little scratches and I find it makes reviewing more difficult in harsh light.

I toss mine the day the body's delivered. If you're concerned about scratches, the GGS protectors are cheap
and pretty nice alternatives. The "white" plastic looks like crap on the D3, hell...ANY body for that matter.

The D3's screen is tempered glass, so, it is hard to scratch. BTW, Nikon didn't include that plastic thing when I bought mine, late '07. Surprised they started to include it.
Do you use the plastic protector on your D300? I'm under the impression that its LCD is similar to the D2X series, which can be scratched much easier than a D3.

The LCD scratched fairly easily on my D40. Just the in and out of a bag motion will cause scratches over time. I keep the protectors on the D80 and D90, it differently helps. The D3's glass cover is much harder to scratch, its just like the iPhone.

GGS protector is a tempered glass cover that fits on top of the LCD It attaches with a pressure sensitive adhesive and can be removed. You can find them on ebay The set (top lcd and back lcd) cost about $12.00 plus shipping. I have a set on my D200 and they are scratch free after a years use.

The D300 LCD is also tempered glass. I take the covers off my cameras as soon as they come out of the box, and I've never had a scratch.

I tried out these stick on films...I tried two makes and a totle of 4 tries...all I succeeded in doing is scratching the film trying to remove the air bubbles!
...look on eBay, they're usually $8-10 shipped!!
