I use vinyl that I cut to the size of the screen. I bought 1/2 a yard of the stuff (18" x ~48") for about $1 from Wal-Mart (enough material to make screen protectors until someone invents scratch-free screens). It holds up really well, is very clear, and sticks to the screen without adhesive. It is a bit tedious to cut, but I bought a fabric, wheel cutter--it works like a pizza cutter--and use a straight edge (cutter also from Wal-Mart for about $12 if I recall correctly). Applying is also a bit of an art as with all screen protection options I've tried so far (overhead projector film tucked under the edges of the screen frame, WriteRights, & Scotch 811 on the Grafitti area), but I use a credit card and apply the vinyl like I would a WriteRight. This leaves several little bubbles that actually get worked out over time by using the Visor.
I just changed the protector last night. The process took me about 15 minutes, including cutting a new one form the vinyl. My efficiency was minimized due to the fact that I was holding a phone to my ear with my shoulder during most of the process. The protector I was changing was about 3 or 4 months old.
