Anti-glare covers for Ipaq - Do they work?

Tim,

I use an Ipaq 3955 with Glide Navigator II. I bought
the Ipaq used and it came with a screen protector on
it. Since I've never used it without the screen protector,
I can't say if it does any good at reducing glare and
I'm not even sure if it is supposed to. Now, I'm calling
it a 'screen protector' but heck, it might be a 'glare
reducer.' It's just a clear plastic overlay stuck
onto the screen and I've never attempted to pull it
off.

In some light, I can see it fine and in others, its
a bit of a strain. But I have to say it was the same
for my Compaq Aero 1520. Sometimes, I just had to
wait a few seconds in the thermal for the sun to be
at the right angle so I could easily read the screen.
I don't find the Ipaq much different than the older
Aero in that regard. I was running PocketNAV on the
Aero...very similar to Glide Navigator II in the way
it appears on the screen.
