Martin Fields, available here, has been a leader overseas in PDA and other handheld device screen protectors for the past few years. I've owned many an iPAQ and Palm handheld, and find these overlays are unmatched for clarity. There are some that may be more durable or have a matte finish to reduce glare, but I haven't seen any that are reusable and this clear.
Be sure to use the humid bathroom trick (and wait for the humidity to evaporate). These go on easily under the right conditions. Peel off about half the backing (the side with the sticker) and gently align the overlay with the screen. Once ready, slowly lay it down while peeling the backing off. Use a finger down the middle to smooth out bubbles as you go. Sometimes this takes a couple of tries and a bit of lint or other debris may get under the overlay. Not a biggie - just remove and try again. These can be washed and re-applied. They're slightly more rigid than some 'adhesion type' films, but they don't use any kind of adhesive gunk so they leave no residue.
The ONLY drawback to these overlays is that they make the PSP screen look like it has an 'edge' instead of the nice flush one-piece look of the unit without protection. But the tradeoff is microscopic compared to the sigh of relief you'll breathe the first time you drop your keys onto the screen or worse. I just wish they made an overlay for the WHOLE front side of the PSP!
I ordered two, just in case. I got a cat hair on one just as I peeled the backing off and being the lazy sod that I am, just went with the other rather than clean it.

Totally agree with the screen protector (got one also, must have to keep it looking new) - but something of note I have recently found out, is that the screen is actually another layer ontop of the actual screen - and which you can get replacements from sony (the whole front facia) which sorta makes it a screen protector, protector :-)edited: Feb 28 2005
