Plastic screen cover is distracting...time to destroy it?

o98 · 06-17-2008, 08:38 AM

Hi everyone. I got this Zuneone.net Leather case (zuneone.net/prodimages/80leatherFront.jpg) for my Zune 80.

I like the case, but the plastic screen cover is distracting in the way it distorts glare from light sources. I think that's mainly because it doesn't lay flat, but instead it ripples a bit. Does anyone have any ideas how to remedy that? I'm thinking I should just cut the plastic cover out. The screen is supposed to be scratch resistant anyways, right?

no zune screens are not scratch resistent, i have a scratch on both my 30 and 80. id get just like a palm pilot screen and put it on the actual zune then cut out the plastic thing, if your really that emotional about it

If you cut the plastic, at least find a good adhesive screen protector.

i've found that it is way more scratch proof than the ipod, must be acrylic plastic

get a good quality adhesive screen protector for just about anything and put it on the zune.

Zune screen are practically bulletproof.
I've had my zune in my pocket with like 20 quarters dime nickels pennies and the like and it is still scratch free.

Where as i've seen people that do have scratches it's nothing compared to a plastic screen like on my cellphone. It's basically unreadable now.

I have yet to see a noticeable scratch on a single zune 2. The only one I have seen, my friend attempted to point out on his 4 gig, but it was just about microscopic. I don't think you need a screen protector.
