    Are all of the P series the same size?

    I'm wondering if the P series (P-6301 and P-6860 in particular) are exactly the same size in all dimensions. Just because there is an invisible shield but it is only for the P-6301 ( http://www.invisibleshield.com/laptop/gateway/p-6301.php) and I want to know if it will fit the P-6860

    I was going to send in my P-6831fx to have them make me a custom invisible shield. Does this mean I won't have to and can order this one? I really don't want to have to send away my laptop. I guess it will, or I'll find out the hard way, because I'm going to order it. I am such a neat freak and I don't want my laptop to have any scratches.

    If it's meant for the 6831FX, I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

    Just watch it when you're applying. That stuff picks up smudges on the sticky side easy (obviously).

    To confirm what is said above, all the P series notebooks, either Direct's P-17x series, or Retails P 6xxx models, they all are built on the same exact frame/chassis, so the items for screen protection are interchangeable for all models!
