What's the best place to buy a screen protector for the PowerBook 17 (I don't want one that covers the whole screen, just one that keeps the keyboard from coming into contact with the LCD

They have exactly what you're looking for here: www.radtech.us

I just ordered a custom screen-protector for my 17" PB from them and should have it in about a week or so.

there are also screen protectors at: http://www.acmemade.com/powerbook.html but I still think that I am going to make my own...

Apple Store near me carries a nice product.. it's a thin pad, the exact size of the keyboard... just lay it on, and close your lid. doesn't cover the who body, or wrap around the screen. i believe this is what you're thinking of.

I havent bought any screen protector myself but I have bought this product that cleans the screen very well its called klear screen and you can find it here, and to cover my keyboard I use a swifter. So far no keyboard marks on the screen and still looking like the day I got her.

darn just noticed you where looking for one for a 17", my bad ive got a TiSD 1ghz.

Anyway try to get the klearscreen its got to be the best lcd cleaner ive come across so far(I use it for my 17"lcd and my TiSD).

oh well not quite what you where looking for but hope it help anyway.

I wish that the radtec cover was like the OEM foam.... It does not cover the entire are area of the laptop...thus, the frame rubs on the body

Anyone any idea on where to get a screen protector for a 12" PB in the UK?

Cheers,

Go to an optician, get them to order in one of those cloths they use to clean glasses with (the big ones they have ion the store)
Cut to size and place on keyboard. Works Great!

Thank you Bond! I've been looking and looking for those cloths in a decent size and have had no luck. I never thought to try my optician! Cheers!

If you're a person of taste, go leather with http://www.jrhillandcompany.com/laptops.html . I've had one for my TiBook for a couple of years and use it for my BigAl. Works/looks nice.
