The Brotect Matte version is on Amazon. I can't find the Airglass version on Amazon, which seems to be the version sought here.

Successfully ordered. Thanks!That's weird. Must be a new thing. It's been about a year since I ordered last from them. I'd ordered a big batch, so I haven't had to reorder yet.
Try ScreenShield - they seem to carry Brotect and ship to us in the US. Price looks higher, but the thinness of the glass is worth it over any film or thick glass option.

The matte ones aren't glass - they're film. Ya gotta find the Airglass ones to get the actual glass.The Brotect Matte version is on Amazon. I can't find the Airglass version on Amazon, which seems to be the version sought here.
It depends on how rough you treat your camera. I've scratched, gougued, and cracked my protectors while shooting. If it wasn't for the protector, it'd be the screen.My question for the group; is a screen protector really necessary? I have gone for years without one- not sure if I should add one to my screen- it seems pretty rugged.
The Op Tech hood is a good idea when carrying the camera in the backpack since it gets jostled around.
We spoke to support about this some time ago and they steered us away from making something due to potential heat build up. Sure someone could come up with a smart solution that had suitable venting.One other thing - why doesn't yet a silicone protection case exist?
Anyone in here familiar with how to produce such thing?
I had commissioned 3d scans of an IQ4 back at one point for this purpose, but the local guy I know who can do this wanted too much for just a prototype.
I'd really love a good silicone protector for rough environments ...
But maybe a hollow structure or with a skeleton case?We spoke to support about this some time ago and they steered us away from making something due to potential heat build up. Sure someone could come up with a smart solution that had suitable venting.
Someone with product design competence could come up with a sweet idea.But maybe a hollow structure or with a skeleton case?
The problem with silicone is that while its shock absorption is good, so is it's heat resistance - it's why a lot of kitchen oven stuff is made of it. Hence, why I used vinyl as it doesn't affect the cooling of the back. Not very good against drops or hard bumps, but it does keep the back from getting scratched during daily use and from the occasional splash during shoots near wet things.But maybe a hollow structure or with a skeleton case?
