. . . The protectors will be for the main LCD monitor screen only but they will shortly have a protector for the small LCD panel on the top of the camera as well. . . .

Will have to wait for a review of these products on a K3iii to see how well they work with the touchscreen, but they do look like a good option.

I agree. I'm being very careful with my camera at the moment but will buy something to protect it once we have some real feedback here.

I used to make my kid do it

but he and his wife have moved to Omaha NE

I just placed an order at Amazon Smile for the same one
That's amazing that you can so easily afford another kid, not to mention buy one from Amazon.

Coming from someone with 6 of those deductions I’d say they have their moments….

Shortly was not defined but I am assuming a few days. More importantly, they will send the protector for the panel once it is ready to all of us who initially received the protector only for the LCD monitor. Quoted below:

"again, do let people in the forum know that we will NOT include the tops in this 1st release but will ship them to all our K-3 III customers at a later time."

The tempered glass one I bought from Amazon, link in an earlier reply, fits perfectly. The touch screen works fine with it as well, even when I had a huge air bubble in it. It is tempered glass. There are 3 so I will be trying again to install with no bubble.

Thanks for all the help. I went with this one. Looks like it will fit from the specs given. It's arriving tomorrow so I can let you know for sure after that.

unfortunately the one I got from them was just a smidgen too wide, when I tried to install it, it would not seal properly and then broke
I will be returning it for credit

I am enclosing iPhone photo of the Expert Shield screen protector on my K3 iii. The touch screen works fine with the protector on it.

I can confirm my expert shield is exactly like the one in the photo above. It does NOT cover the whole screen. There is a small gap around the edges. I tried to get mine as close to the upper right side by the joystick so cleaning dust out of the gap on the bottom left seemed the smartest move and it did not align in the top right corner. Short term it will protect the screen until someone makes a protector that covers the screen properly.
