It is an easy process and greatly improves slightly used NEXes.

Nice thing.
I had Sony's plastic cover on my a700... bottom line, I would highly suggest NOT to buy it, instead strictly recommend to buy a cover glass (as I did, from the same JYC).

I put one of the Zagg InvisibleShield covers on my A700. I can't say I was ever very happy with it.

I'll definitely be going for one of the glass products next time.

Was there a typo in this paragraph? Perhaps the word "not" was omitted where I have placed a red asterix?

Got an anti scratch anti reflect anti everything pro contrast film on the A700 3 years ago and very happy with it. Fitted one also on the NEX and the ipad. Still in perfect condition, if ever anything goes wrong, I'll strip it off and get a new one, no doubt!
