You are risking REAL trouble if you continue to use your 770 without a protector. I just noticed last night that I have wear spots where I've been using the soft KB. ARGH!! I got a PDA Cleaning Kit. Will wash and buff the screen and see if that helps. Then I will be installing the Fellowes Universal WriteRight. Will report back later.

I am thinking of making a screen protector, at least in the short term, out of a sheet of transparency or something similar. I don't have my 770 yet, so I need to know... how much room is there to tuck something under the frame of the screen? (i.e., how much bigger than the screen do I need to cut a sheet of plastic to slide under the screen frame and work as a screen protector?) Could somebody with a 770 try sliding something under each of the four sides and measure?

But i think you'll always have small particles between the transparency and the screen which will scratch the screen while the transparency is moving.

There are aprox. 2-3mm under each side.

I dont like the idea of having something loose on top of the screen as stuff will get between the screen and the protector and that will just cause worse scratches!
To tell you the truth, I have zero wear marks on my screen,.I'm surprised and I use it every day since I got it 3 weeks ago.

Look on eBay, there are some sellers offering 770-specific screen protectors for some time now. Perhaps you could persuade them into sending samples. If not, they're not too expensive.
