    Hello,

    I live in Toronto Ontario, does anyone know a good location to buy a screen protector for the y580?
    I saw the Green Onions 15.6, I'm not sure if it will fit the laptop or not? I'd rather have it bought local if possible because I've had bad experiences where the screen protectors were bent during travel.

    Thank you :)

    I do not know, but green onion screens are very expensive and if you put a little more you could probably buy a replacement matte screen (I am talking about the actual screen and not a foil to put on top of it for protection, just to clear any doubts ;) ). They sell for about $85-$100. To buy a green onion screen protector will cost you about $60 and it is not worth even thinking about it. My friend got me 2 replacement screens. I have 1 glossy and 1 matte. Other brands screen protectors would not make much difference in quality to stop the reflection and probably any brand including green onion requires a little cutting here and there.
