Best X51V screen film for viewing in sunlight in the car?

I am looking for some sort of screen film that will reduce sun glare and make the x51v display more viewable in direct sunlight, such as when I am in the car using iGuidance.

Anybody know of a good one? also something that doubles as protection against scratches, etc. on the screen would be great.

One of the ones I found is called 'Screen Armor' and here is the link: http://www.anywheremap.com/detail.aspx?ID=147

I've found the InvisibleShield combines the best qualities of an anti-glare (the only time it glares at me if I angle it directly at the sun, and only a small spot is glared out by the sun itself) with a crystal-clear shield. Otherwise, you could try the BoxWave Anti-Glare or the WriteShield AG.

They're sold at Boxwave (Boxwave.com) and PPCTechs (ppctechs.com) - the InvisibleShield can be bought from ShieldZone.com (I'd recommend this route based on the lifetime warranty) or from eBay.

For both brands? Yeah. But, unlike cheaper screens, they tend to last many months if not a year or two... although the Boxwave can get scratched up pretty quickly for some people, myself included. InvisibleShields are $11.95 for one screen, but it comes with a lifetime warranty so if it DOES get scratched up, they'll replace it for free (minus shipping).
