Screen Protector for E-M1 mkII

I can confirm that there is a glass screen protector that works on the E-M1 mkII even while the screen is turned inwards.  The Larmor .3mm Glass screen protector is available on Amazon.  Probably other places too.  This size fits the E-M1 mkII perfectly.  I put mine on this morning.

I have used these protectors on the E-M1 for a couple years now and they are great.  Its glass and very clear.  It doesn’t distort the screen at all.  The protection is great.  They also stay on via static i believe.  There is no adhesive.  You can lift a corner and it pops right off.  It won’t come off under normal use those, even if something bumps it.  So far so good for me.

Yes on the E-M1 mkII you can flip the screen around to protect it…but what about while you are working.  Things happen.  I’de rather have my screen protected.  I prefer glass to the vinyl protectors.  Vinyl scratches and fades over time  Glass is great.  I was concerned about clearance or the ability of the screen to close with additional glass on it.  Luckily the Larmor protector is JUST thin enough to close the screen properly.

In fact the E-M1 mkII has a little lip or edge at one end of it’s screen.  The Larmour protector bumps up right against that and is no higher than it.  So you have a guide for placement and it fits right.  Do you prefer screen protectors on your gear?

  1. Which one of the screen protectors did you use, there are 4 of them listed.

    • Hi Dennis, the one I use is the “LARMOR 0.3mm Ultra Thin Self-Adhesive Optical Glass LCD Screen Protector for Olympus OM-D E-M1 E-M10 Camera.” Only one comes up with that name in Amazon. I don’t know what comes up at other vendors. Hope that helps!

  2. Thank you very much Tony. I was looking for a decent protector for my new OM-D E-M1 mark II.
    I have ordered one by an Ebay seller in the UK as I live in the Netherlands.

    Your site is very informative. So now and then I look at it for new information.
    I also liked your setup guide for the mark I very much. Abosolutely hoping, you have planned recording a new video for the Mark II.

    Thank you for all the useful information on your site. Grts Karin

    • Thank you Karin, I have a lot planned. This will be a year with a lot of new coming from the site. I do have a step by step guide for the E-M1 mkII menu…as well as some helpful tools!

  3. Hi, Tony.Great site.I have looked on Amazon for the screen protector for the MKII, some comments say it doesn’t fit the MkII

    • Interesting to hear that there are reviews that say it doesn’t fit. I am always skeptical of amazon reviews though. It definitely fits on mine! It also closes perfectly. You do have to ensure you put it on lined up properly. Maybe those people put it too far to one side? Not sure what to say. Luckily they remove very easily. I’m sure if it honestly doesn’t fit it would be an easy return. However, my experience has been great with it so far.

    I also could not get the Larmour screen protector to work. It fit the screen perfectly but I could not get the screen to latch when I closed it. I even tried reinstalling it to the opposite edge but it still didn’t work. There must be just enough tolerance in the screen frame that it fits on some bodies but not on others.

  5. Mine prevents the screen from closing properly. Just marginally, I agree the tolerances must vary.
