Originally posted by MRCDH MikeV, thanks for the feedback; I am generally very careful with my equipment, but one lapse in attention could cause a problem (ie camera on strap and the screen rubbing against some sharp object on ones clothing (buttons, belt buckle, etc). I just like the peace of mind that the screen has protection for it has served me well on my other cameras. Thanks for your suggestion.

MasMax, I read the description on Amazon and it sounds very interesting. How long have you had it on your K3 and how is it holding up (ends secure etc). Thanks again for the suggestion.
I've had it for about 3 months and as I mentioned on my first post, I actually have to look a few times to check it is still there. No peeling, no borders are lifting up, all is perfect.
But please keep in mind that this is a film, it is not a hard glass protector.
Even though I pamper my cameras, the other day I was at the dog park and one of my dogs was going to get into a fight with a large Rottweiler; my first reaction, as both dogs where racing towards each other, was to dive head first and grab my dog and try as best as I could to protect him from the other dogs attack and pray that the other owner could control his dog before he reached us. Lucky for me the owner was able to grab his dog in time. But in the meantime I had already taken a few tumbles on the ground while trying to control my dog and all this while I had my K-3 hanging from my neck via the strap.
To make a long story short, my camera took a few hard hits, especially on the rear part of the body so I was sure that at best my camera was all scratched up and that the rear screen was either broken or it had some deep scratches.
After cleaning the camera the only damage I found on the body was a small scrape mark on the bottom and some small scratches on the front of the lens, almost on the edge.
When I started to remove all the dry dust and small pebbles from the rear of the camera I was surprised to find that the film protector was still attached to the screen and with no apparent damage at all besides the dust.
So all in all, I think that this screen protector is excellent or I must be the luckiest guy in the world.
BTW, I still have the same protector on both my rear and top screen.
If you do decide to purchase the Vikuiti screen protector go check this page since this seller lists all the different options available for this protector; personally I bought the Vikuiti ADQC27 since it is clear, I don’t think the seller is in the US but I was able to get the product number of the option that I wanted and with that info I searched Amazon and ordered it from them:
Bedifol GmbH | Screen Protectors
Hope this helps you out and best of luck..any other info you need please let me know.
