[QUOTE="stmv, post: 105770, member: 10038"] I keep the protector on 100% of the time, I don't find a need to take it off, and mine stay pretty good for a few years, and then,,, I just buy a OEM replacement Part,, Over the years, have only had to buy 3, which is a small cost. I have once broken the tempered glass even with the protector, I had it in my hiking pack, with a travel tripod, and the handle of the tripod was pressed against the plastic shield, and enough pressure to fracture the glass. It still worked, but after a couple of weeks, I had it fixed (not that expensive, like 120 dollars). but I now strap my tripod on the back loop of the pack. I will say,, I do like the swivel of the 5100,,,, kinda cool to be able to store the camera with the screen turned inward,, one less worry.
