I'm just going to use an extra ipod touch screen protector I have lying around for now... Dimensions look to be the same, except I'm going to have to cut a bit off of the bottom for the buttons. That is, until a decent anti-glare sceen protector comes out for the Imagio.

How's the fit for that ipod touch protector? I amwaiting for the Invisible shield to come out with Imagio sizing but I could run to Best Buy if an Ipod touch cover is close.

I just finished putting it on... the dimensions are an EXACT fit for the screen, at least. The problem is, you have to put it on perfectly for it to work, because if you are off by even a fraction of a millimeter, the screen protector will get stuck on the edge of the screen and won't stick to it completely. I would recommend using the method shown here, I couldn't use it though because this method takes overnight to set and I need to use my phone tonight. I had to reapply it several times to get it to set right, and as a result, there are a couple of specks of dust beneath the protector

The only part where it gets tricky is the bottom, because the ipod touch has a giant hole for the button. I cut off a line where the bottom row would be, and it actually got most of the hole... Just the top part remained, and it kind of looks in place because it's over the center button, but it's still leaving a small amount exposed. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty good fix IMO until a normal, anti-glare screen protector comes out.

Thanks for the info on sizing. Maybe I'll get a more "entry level" screen protector in touch sizing until the Invisible Shield comes out for Imagio.

I also didn't realize it is supposed to "set" for 12 hours.

P.S. Is it easy to trim the bottom? Did you use a blade or scissors?

Yeah, it was pretty easy. I just used a sticky note to mark where I needed to cut, and used scissors to do it. The sticky note helped a lot, because the cut goes through the round hole, so it helps to keep the everything level.

I'm going to see how the DLO Ipod Touch screen cover is. Just as a temp until IS. I definitely want something. I'll order a rubber case on EBay.

I just ordered the first protector listed in the main post. I had about $5 in Ebay bucks, so I thought I would try it.

I'll post a review when I get it.
