My X1 is arriving tomorrow, or at least that is the plan!... and as I have always been trying to keep the screen of my Pxxx in excellent condition using a screen protector I was wondering what screen protectors are out there and which ones are the best.

I have been using Martin Fields the last few years and cannot fault the quality but i do not think they have one for X1 yet

On second thought, does the X1 really need a protector? I mean the Pxxx always had a soft kind of touch screen which was very susceptible to scratches. Is the screen on X1 made from similar materials?

personally I would always use a screen protector on any device with a touchscreen.
I've just checked back and Martin Fields have now released their protector for the X1

I've just ordered a generic one off ebay to tide me over till the higher quality protectors come out (e.g. martin fields). Hopefully it will do the trick for now!

I guess i would have to wait to find out if its just as good as MF!

Has anyone seen a decent case/pouch?..

The best i've found so far that doesnt look like a leather wallet is:

I've been looking for a nice pouch/sock also.
That one looks quite nice actually, although the dimensions seem a little large, and I'd prefer it without the 'walkman' logo.

I received my Martin Fields screen protector(s) today, but I'm a bit confused about how the camera piece goes.
Here is a pic of it (taken with the X1, first attempt at macro shot)...



The outer part is obvious, but am I supposed to remove the round bit where the camera lens goes, and replace it with the other slightly smaller round bit?
Any ideas?

I guess that the circle on the square part is actually a hole.

You just have to put the big part on the camera and the small round bit on the lens, order shouldn't matter.

Yes you're right, the circle is a hole. I guess I should have had a closer look before asking.
It's fitted now, but I must say it looks a bit shoddy if you look closely.

it's a product from DuraSec, you can check its website: http://www.durasec.com/catalog/index.php?language=en

the name is Nano Tec. Really good!

I'm advising, not advertising:-)
