Customer Summary Essential ZEN Accessory
Customer Full Review As other reviewers have stated before, the ZEN screen protector is essential and should have come with the unit as standard equipment. If you choose not to lay out the asking price for this little "accessory", you will most likely end up with a scratched display screen in the near future.
Understanding how this item is constructed is necessary to a greater degree that I initially realized. Again, listen to the previous reviewers that discovered this and you should have little to no problems.
First: This small piece of plastic is made up of 3-layers!
layer 2 (tab) -----------------------
screen protector ***************
layer 1 (tab) -----------------------
Second: Remove the (bottom) side 1 protective layer first. Then align the protector and press in place on the ZEN screen. I did not see any issues with air bubbles or debris causing problems.
Third: After the protector is in place, remove the (top) side 2 protective layer. Careful here, though -- the layer 2 tab wants to come off itself instead of actually pulling off the second protective layer. This is where a previous reviewer encountered a gummy mess (as did I). The adhesive mess is on top of the screen protector layer 2 protective sheet! Instead of messing with this tab, just use a fingernail or other thin object to gently pry the second protective layer off safely. This will leave only the center sheet which is the actual screen protector.
Take your time when applying this screen protector on your ZEN player and you should not encounter any issues.
This "accessory" should have been installed at the factory with the option of buying more.
