I don't remember who/where recommended it to me (was on a web page, probably a blog or similar), but shortly after getting my FR I bought one each of these screen protectors: [1] [2] My main concern was protecting the screen from scratches, but it's not like reducing glare was a bad thing either. I figured I'd try them both out and see which I liked best, since they were fairly cheap, and the page said it would be a personal preference (both being good). At the moment I'm not 100% sure which one I ended up using, but I *think* it's [1] - and I can't recall having any major problems using the screen outdoors afterwards (as long as the angle isn't precisely wrong, in which case you'd just tilt the FR slightly or move your head). YMMV, I'm up north, and haven't used it all that much while outdoors... Applying it to the FR's screen required taking the front cover off, as the protector is slightly larger than the visible screen area (but not really any larger than the screen itself IIRC). This wasn't difficult, and hasn't caused me any problems (as far as I'm aware, of course).
