 Works but unbelievably expensive August 14, 2008
This has got to be the product with the greatest profit margin to Sony. It is nothing but a rectangular piece of clear plastic with two notches that fit the Sony Alpha 200.
You definitely need this, especially if you wear the camera strap around your neck. Without this, the LCD screen will rub against buttons/zippers, and will soon scratch. The actual product is great -- I mean how difficult can it be to make a rectangular piece of plastic?
I think Sony should have included this with the camera at no additional cost. It probably cost them a dime to make, and they sell it for more than 100 times the cost.
The frugal minded can try a different approach: if you already have PDA screen protectors, cut one to fit the LCD screen and save yourself the extra expense.
 Custom fit your screen, but too costly August 10, 2008
Will protect your screen from scratches. However they are richly priced. Over $10 for a piece of plastic. Their margin must be over 99%!
 LCD Screen Protector June 30, 2008
A very valuable asset to the camera. Offers good protection. Easy to install! Highly recommend to anyone with an "unprotected" LCD.
 A true rip off June 21, 2008

It's a piece of plastic worth $0.99 and it costs $12. Go figure, it does protect the plastic that protects your LCD but it is a rip off at this price. Here's hoping another manufacturer makes a clone...

One of the things I worried about most with my new Sony Alpa 200 was keeping the LCD screen looking good. As with any digital camera the screen is very easy to scratch (or worse) and although you do not use the screen to take pictues with this model, I want to keep it as nice as possible.
I was thinking about getting one of those film protectors when I saw this one and ordered it. I like it....it pops into place and fits perfectly, which it should since Sony made it for this camera, and is not obtrusive at all; it does stick out just a little bit but does not get in the way, at least for me.
Overall, I think that it is well worth 12 bucks to have the screen protected and if it gets scratched I can just pitch it and get another one, unlike the LCD screen on the camera!
