so when I am taking pictures with Canon 70D, and i am sure same with other cameras as well my nose presses up against the screen. I know I can switch to live view and should not be a problem except good luck on sunny days. My nose leaves oil on the screen.I clean with a lens wipe. After several years now the paint which is applied to the screen frame is starting to come off. Have tried a Hoodman but does not work with the tilt screen, unless they have made a new model. Any thoughts?

There are many screen protectors available. Google.

I purchased the Kenko LCD screen protector films for my Nikon D500. A screen protector for the small top LCD screen is also included. Here's a tip if you get them. You have to get it positioned and in place correctly the first time. If you try to peel it back off and re-apply, it will be messed up. Use a blower to blow dust off the screen first. Here is the one for the Canon 70D/80D.

From what I've read, putting a screen protector on the LCD will negatively affect the touch-screen's operation.

Obviously, you need a nose guard. That will avoid the problem completely.

Unless you have unusual body chemistry, the oil from your nose will not damage the LCD screen. I use screen protectors on just about everything. Plastic/vinyl is good, and now I have tempered glass on a couple of them. When time comes to sell cameras, having a scratch-free screen is a selling point.

I use gaffer's tape, no residue like duct tape.

Can't speak for camera touch screens, but I've had tempered glass screen protectors on my smartphones for years and never had a problem.

I have them on my Canon 7D Mark II. Once installed correctly, they virtually disappear.

the screen is fine, just annoying to keep cleaning. the issue is that the paint on the frame around the screen is breaking down. I wonder if the eye cup from hoodman would keep my nose off the this area of the screen? Only issue with this is the screen cant be closed or articulated when attached. anyone use one of these how easy to install and remove the eye cup?

Don't understand about the "paint" on the frame. I have four Canon bodies with a total of 100's of thousands of actuations and no sign of any issue with the frames color. Can you post an image of this?

the frame around the touch screen is plastic and it is painted or finished the same color as the rest of the camera. Noticed a small bubble in the finish, similar to rust when it starts to surface. When I cleaned the screen with a Zeis cleaning pad bubble came off exposing the material below. This is not hurting anything just do not want this to spread.

Maybe your doing too much cleaning.

CO knows of what he speaks. VERY carefully follow the directions.

That would be a deal-breaker for me. Just the thought that I had to get it right the first time would rattle me.

I'm glad you're not a pilot. I wouldn't want to be in your plane with that attitude during a landing.

Getting things right the first time is a matter of attention to detail and planning. There are lots of areas where this is a requirement and a whole lot more critical than just applying a Kenko LCD protector. I have these protectors on my camera as well, and they were not that difficult to install. But for those that are in a hurry and not careful then they may not be a good choice.

The same need for attention to detail is required for a number of other protectors that have a glue line around the edge, like the sclott glass protectors I used for a while. I stopped using those because they were expensive and broke too easily. The Kenko's are much more cost effective, easier to install, fit so well that to the casual observer you don't even know they're there, and even after a year-and-a-half of use they still look like new. I thought they would start to peel after a while, or air bubbles would start to get between them and the LCD screens, but that has not occurred. The kit comes with a rear LCD protector as well as a top LCD protector sized for your particular camera. Very satisfied.
