No, it does not have an articulating screen. I've had my 5D M III for 3 years. Never covered the screen - just wipe it with lens cleaning cloth. Screen still looks brand new.

Not being familiar with this camera, I'm a Canon guy but have never worked with the Mk3, does the screen fold up? If so you'd be better to clean and fold it for storage rather than a cover which won't allow you to fold (close) the screen.

This is what i use on my 5D MK II as well as my 7D MK II and could not be more pleased with these covers.

I don't have a 5D, but as far as I know the 5D screen does not fold.

Ditto.

No matter what you put there it will get fingerprints too and you will need to clean it too. The area where you are seeing the fingerprints is essentially a clear piece of plastic over your LCD so your LCD is well protected from the factory. If you clean it with a good quality microfiber cloth you will be okay. Ive never seen a valid reason for these covers except for making the LCD dimmer.
