Nicely done! On the NewtTest, the difference is most visible in the margin and nearly invisible in the grid. I had to look hard to see it. Either way it is negligible. Are they adhesive? I remember cutting sheet protectors to fit my Palm Pilots Back in the day. I always dreaded changing them and having to get it under the bezel. I'd be interested in 4 eMate foils. If you go ahead with the 2x00 version, I can use 4 of those also. Thanks so much! - Tere On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 7:54 AM NewtonTalk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi gang, > > since scratched eMate displays are getting more and more difficult to > replace, I recently had display > protection foils made.
