    Has anyone installed these? Are they glossy?
    I want to use something similar on a Thinkpad Twist, but the main reason is to make the screen non-glossy. The screen already has enough scratch resistance as it is Gorilla Glass coated.

    Having recently needing to replace the screen protector on my X220T, I initially went with a US based company called Photodon. Althought their website was pretty impressive and offered a host of customisation options, the quality of their screen protectors was absolute crap. Aside from their use of a glue based adhesive for attachment which made the plastic almost impossible to position, created a mass of massive bubbles and making it utterly uncleanable, the total price (including delivery) worked out at over AU$30 even with package forwarding to Australia taking over 2 weeks to arrive. Having given up on them, I eventually ordered the EXIM screen protector off eBay with the anti-glare surface. Aside from the price of AU$15, the package contained 2 sheets instead of just one for redundancy and the silicon adhesion surface meant a still time consuming but reasonably easy installation process, especially when it came to removing bubbles and removing any dust that attaches to the adhesion surface in the process. Also, instead of just a backing sheet to protect the adhesion surface as with the Photodon, the EXIM also had a front protective sheet to protect the outer surface during installation which meant no scratches from the bubble removal process.

    Just my 2c.
