If I get writewrite protectors for a IIIc, or a VII, will they fit on my Vx? The 3cs are much cheaper (on sale) and the Vx's are not. If they are not the right size, is there any way to cut them to the right size.

Usually the protectors are cut by a "die" made for each model and are specifically manufactured to fit the screen of that model. I'm sure you can buy the less expensive protector and cut it down to size via an exacto knife, but no guarantee on the fit.

If you're willing to cut them, why bother with WriteRights at all? I went out and bought some Avery laminating sheets (not sure the exact product, but a 10 pack of 9 x 12 or so sheets was under $10) and cut them to fit my Visor. These sheets are tacky, but not so sticky as to cause screen damage, they're easy to cut, much clearer than the WriteRights, and dirt cheap. Not quite as durable as WriteRights, but I use Scotch tape over the graffiti area, so I hardly ever have to change the protector. Check out PocketPCPassion.com for templates and other tips (under "How To" on the right side of the page there is a link for homemade screen protectors, need to scroll down to get to it). Hope this helps (and saves you some cash at the same time)...
