There is, here:

I ordered the "full-body" N9 version directly from his site (not ebay). It arrived in a few days. My N9 is still in the post so I have no opinion on whether the protector is good or not.

EDIT: I do not recommend this screen protector. The cuts were not accurate for the camera/sensor holes and left a few millimeters gap between the top of the screen and the casing (the bottom portion of the protector was aligned flush to the casing). once I got the protector applied with the water/soap mix, I did not like the feel at all. Perhaps it needed to dry first, but it was not a smooth touch (rubbery) and air bubbles/stress marks were visible everywhere even though I applied with the squeegee. it looked a mess if you angled it beneath the light a certain way and made the N9 feel like a cheap phone.

I used the protector for the metal camera frame on the back (comes with the full kit). Again, it's several millimeters too short to fit perfectly, but it should prevent scratches to the metal and it was easy to apply because it was small. the rest of the full body kit comes with pieces to apply everywhere else and I'm not even going to bother, will just use the rubber case that came with the N9.

For reference I'm coming from using a Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protector for the N900 for 2 years which required no adhesive to apply, which I prefer. I think I'm going to try out their CV8 protector since it seems like the DQC kind of protector (would like to hear opinions on it or other protectors).

EDIT 2: I went for the Vikuiti adqc27 instead. It hasn't arrived yet.
