The clear plastic protector over the LCD screen on the back of the camera does a great job protecting it, but after a while it will get scratched - because it's doing its job. Nikon says it's meant to be removed while shooting and replaced while transporting the camera, but I find I'm more apt to scratch it with the camera over my shoulder walking through the woods to get a shot. And I don't want to scratch the LCD.
On my D7000 I replaced it with a Vello optical glass protector that fits over top with some adhesive. It works great, and when it eventually gets scratched to the extent that it prevents me from seeing what I need I spend another $15 and replace it. I wanted to get the same thing for the D600, and B&H had one. It was labeled for the D600, D800 & D4 but when I got it yesterday I was disappointed to find that, unlike the one I got for the D7000, it did not go edge to edge on the screen, and was actually smaller than the LCD screen itself. The website touts it for all three cameras, but the package says D800/800E. I've made arrangements with B&H for a return, and will be speaking with someone there today to let them know specifically why it's being returned and that it doesn't fit the product they're advertising it for.
I'm posting here so that anyone interested can avoid this problem, and I'd like to know from folks here if they've found a similar product that actually fits?
