[Leica] M9 LCD Screen Scratching

[jeff at circlesofclarity.com (Jeffrey Schraeder)]

The LCD screen on the M9 is very easily scratched. A few minutes  
hanging on its strap and bumping into plastic shirt buttons causes  
scratching. Shame on me for not buying a screen protector but it does  
seem like Leica quality is lacking on this point. It was clear to  
Leica that the screen would scratch in normal use as they suggested  
that as the cause when I called to ask about it. (My G9 suffers much  
greater indignities and is virtually unscratched after almost 2 years  
of being carelessly tossed around.). Lesson learned, I will have a  
screen protector when I get it back from Leica repair. A new back  
cover would be $775 so I'll just live with the scratches.

It is at Leica repair after 2 weeks because the white paint fell out  
of the the engravings on the case and on the shutter speed dial. In  
general I feel much better about my M6s.
