I ordered one of the new Lexan protectors for my IJA off of EBay. Unfortunately it arrived with shipping damage and I could not install it. The Playfield Protector people were extremely quick to help me get a replacement! Top notch customer service!

That being said, I hope a US distributor gets the new Lexan ones. Shipping a thin, flat, lightweight thing is always gonna have a chance of crumple damage but having it be in transit for a month definitely increases those chances.

Has anyone else who ordered direct from Germany had any shipping damage issues? I hope it was just some bad luck.

Quoted from rotordave:

My 3 (in one package) arrived fine.
When you ship stuff, always the chance of some moron in the post office/courier company damaging something. In saying that, I ship stuff from all over the world (including pins) and haven't had any damage as yet. Touch wood.

My package literally had a huge foot print on it, and the Lexan was all warped and bent there. But yes, they were awesome in helping me address this issue!

Shipping was much faster on my last order. Great service!

Quoted from nightsearcher:

Are these protectors able to shift around at all, or do certain assemblies hold them from moving and stopping it from scratching the actual playfield

There is nothing holding them in place except for gravity and the shape of the protector. When properly installed they don't slide around. It's like a slab of temporary clear coat.

Quoted from pinlink:

One last question:
Can these be reused? In otherwords, If I put one of these on my game, then later down the road do a playfield swap, is it easy to remove the playfield protector and put it on the new playfield?

Unless you damage it during installation or removal it can be reused. Might need some Novus 2 to clean up scratching if it's been heavily used.
