Hi gang, since scratched eMate displays are getting more and more difficult to replace, I recently had display protection foils made. They have rounded corners, which makes installation much easier. Moreover, they're ever so slightly smaller than the visible display area, which will relieve you of the arduous task of having to get their edges under the bezel. I'm extremely pleased about how they turned out. I cut one of them in half and applied it to the left half of my eMate so that you can see the (negligible) difference in the same picture: Extras folder, no backlight, picture taken without flash: <https://www.pda-soft.de/common/img/hardware/eMate/DisplayFoil/ExtrasWithout Flash.jpg> Extras folder, no backlight, picture taken with flash to get an idea of the amount of reflection: <https://www.pda-soft.de/common/img/hardware/eMate/DisplayFoil/ExtrasWithFla sh.jpg> Extras folder with backlight: <https://www.pda-soft.de/common/img/hardware/eMate/DisplayFoil/ExtrasWithBac klight.jpg> NewtTest with backlight (foil ends between column 14 and 15): <https://www.pda-soft.de/common/img/hardware/eMate/DisplayFoil/NewtTestWithB acklight.jpg> While my limited supply lasts, these animals will set you back EUR 4.00 apiece or EUR 10.00 for three, plus what I pay for stamps. Last time I looked, this was (for up to three foils) EUR 0.80 for destinations in Germany and EUR 1.10 for all other destinations on this planet. Please drop me a line off-list if you're interested. Cheers Frank PS I'm contemplating having the same kind of foils made for 2x00 Newton. Since the final price, as usual, depends on the number produced, it would be cool if you would post the number of foils you'd be interested in to this list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://newtontalk.net/ http://twitter.com/newtontalk
