LCD Screen Protection Film

I've been looking around online for a properly sized LCD screen protection film for the Infiniti and have been completely out of luck. Any suggestions?

If not, I'm getting ready to buy some 3M Vikuiti material and have some custom sized with rounded corners. If I buy a bunch of material, would anybody else be interested?

So funny you bring this up, as I was looking at buying a screen protector this weekend. Isn't it a 7" inch screen? Would something like this not work?

I've seen others like these and none of them are a perfect fit. The measured the screen size on the Infiniti is 6.125 x 3.75. So this one on ebay will work but there will be a gap around the edges.

I was looking at the 3M Vikuiti material which is the same stuff UPS suppossedly uses on their touch screen scanners. According to the 3M website, they have stock sizes as well, but none of them are a perfect fit which is why I was thinking of buying a box and having it custom cut if I can't find one already sized for Infiniti.

This looks promising. Has anyone ever used this one before? I sent the seller a message asking what the actual measurements are.

3M has a box of 5 at $45 (size 4.49 x 7.68) - so these will have to get cut down to size using a custom steel rule die sized for the Infiniti screen.

So this is expensive based on these small quantities. I think this would be a worth while project if I can get the cost below $15. BTW ... I only picked $15 because I just paid $10 for 2 small ones for my son's Nintendo DS at Target.

I looked up the Clearguard website and found this product which states it's specific to the G35. I'd be interested especially if it cuts glare on the screen.

OK - will wait for your report.

Only thing is that the webpage says its for G from 2003 to present.
However the Nav screen size for the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen Gs are different and there is nowhere to say you have a 2nd gen G.

Do update this post.

I got a response from them. They said they were exactly 9.7cm x 17.4 cm which converts to 3.81" x 6.85".

The 07 measurements are 6.125" x 3.75" from edge of bezel to edge of bezel.

It appears some trimming is needed for this one to work.
