    I just bought a X60 tablet, with the 1024x768 screen, non-Multitouch. The low resolution is a *little* annoying, but not a big deal. It's awesome otherwise, with OneNote, for taking notes for medical school...I have like 12 binders worth of notes packed on there already! I have a few questions though:

    Should I buy a screen protector? The tablet came with a plastic-like covering, I assume that's the touch-sensitive layer for inking, etc. Should I get another screen protector (something like InvisibleSHIELD) to cover it, or would that affect the inking accuracy?

    The screen is pretty reflective, I can barely see the text when using it under light. Would putting that InvisibleSHIELD on help, or not?

    Any good cases/sleeves? I like the Waterfield bags, but $55 for a basic sleeve sounds a little steep. Any other alternatives?

    Is the digitized pen the only thing that will write and erase on the screen? Seems a little crazy for the pen to be $50.

    Thanks! I love this tablet, about 4-5 other friends of mine are considering buying one...

    >> I have X61T multi-touch and never use any screen protector with my tablet. IMO, It's already scratch-proof screen, unlike all PDA/some UMPC screens. (I don't know if it's the same as you though)

    >> It won't help and unfortunately that may be worse when using InvisibleSHIELD since all my PDAs are very reflective.

    >> You could search by using "Wacom pen". Then you will know you can easily find much lower price than that. But be careful, not all wacom pen has an erase ability and some of them are not compatible with your screen (this will be stated clearly, don't worry)

    ;) I love mine as well.
