    Waiting on the arrival of my 2010 :D, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good screen protector for the 2010 nav. I have a Zagg for my iPhone, which I really like, but they only make a protector for the earlier model Prius.

    Thanks....

    I'll second this request for my Gen III !

    For my Gen II, I bought one off of ebay and it is still in great shape.

    While I'm all for screen protectors for things that can get dropped or that live in pockets with scratchy things, is one really necessary for something like a built-in nav system? This is my first, so I'm curious.

    And wouldn't such a thing mess with the touch sensitive aspect of the screen?

    Thanks for that! Needed the hood anyway (too hard to see the display in the sun), so I ordered the protector while I was at it. I'll make a report as soon as it arrives.

    $30, shipped, is a bit steep. $12 shipping? flat rate USPS is $4.95? LOL

    I like the idea, but will wait a while.

    Agreed the shipping is a bit expensive, but since I needed a few other things anyway, wasn't a factor in this case.

    I am not sure are they shipping it from Japan or USA because last time I sent them email about the signal mirror and they me they have not even see the actual things yet. so they might order from japan when someone order from them.

    They do order a lot of the items from Japan. They also drop ship some of them, so if they say they haven't seen it yet, I'm sure they haven't.

    I just got one of the ones from Sigma and it seems to be pretty nice. Tough to get on without bubbles, but once completed is entirely noticeable... with one exception. It seems to make visibility of the screen worse when I'm wearing my polarized sunglasses (polarization interaction, presumably). Other than that, its invisible fits well, and seems to have no negative impact on touch screen sensitivity.

    They have a "if you can't find your product listed" option. 2010 Prius is one of the "not yet" choices so hopefully they are thinking about it. I added my name to the "call when you have it" list. Hope other readers do too.
