3 Stars Serves it purposes but scratches easily
It serves it purposes but scratches easily. I bought several so I could change them out when they got so scratched you couldn’t see through them.

2 Stars Wrong Lvd Cover
I thought I odered aan LCD cover for my Nikon D40x, What I received was a LCD cover for a Nikon 200. I have tried to correct this problem by e-mail before without any results to my concerns.

5 Stars Essential protection
Nikon BM-8 LCD Monitor Cover

It is important that the Nikon camera have protection from scratches. This item fits our camera perfectly.

5 Stars Essential protection and a way to preserve resale value
Although this came with my new D300, things happen. I had the original for around 16 months before mine got a crack that was substantial to warrant replacing. Thankfully it was this plastic LCD protector that took the mpact and not the LCD itself. When I think of all the scratches and dings this protector endured, I hate to imagine not having had the protector and seeing all these scratches on my actual LCD. If I didn’t have it, just imagine how those permanent marks on my D300’s LCD would lower my eventual resale price when I sell this! So just having this is an investment in preserving some sense of resale value in a commodity (DSLR) that depreciates rather quickly. But the bottom line is, I don’t want to damage my camera body either as a result of an accident or normal wear and tear. This LCD protector does a great job of protecting the LCD! I love having it! 5 stars!

1 Star Maybe worse than nothing at all
While on a recent trip to southern Utah with my new D90, a small piece of sand – there’s lots of it down there – slipped in between the cover and the screen. I finally noticed it when there was a 1 inch long deep scratch from the sand working between the screen and the “protector” on my otherwise pristine camera. Buy the Giotto cover for $30 and be done with it. It is sealed all the way around unlike the Nikon cover. I learned this lesson the hard way.
