greenlife-style

I found greenlife-style while looking for a cable release for my K20D on eBay.  I found the right one (CS 205) for $8, which seemed good...so i plugged in "K20D" in their search box...and found a slick glass LCD protection screen and a nice little diffuser for the built-in flash.  All of the stuff was a total of about $22, shipped free from Hong Kong!  Everything arrived in about two weeks, and it all works fine.  The screen looks handsome, and looks like it might have been original equipment, with a black frame and a little "K20D" on it.  They answer emails, too!  I figure this stuff would have cost me about 50-70 dollars at most stores.  This is not used stuff--all brand new.  i am very pleased with greenlife-style, and thought others might like to give them a look.

I appreciate the tip and I am interested in a glass lcd protector, but I can't find "greenlife-style" on ebay. I've seen a glass lcd protector for the k20d at b&h, but it is almost $35.00. I' had been using the delkin pop-up shades for quite a while, but I always seem to break the "wings" on them, plus, the plastic gets scratched and I've decided I'm done with them.

I did get another protector that is like a film that you spray something on the film and then apply it to the LCD with the included squeegee that works pretty well called Invisible Shield by Zagg. It wasn't cheap and works well, but isn't as easy to keep clean as glass would be I imagine. It doesn't scratch at all though and can be removed and reapplied. It comes with plenty of solution to last a lifetime and is guaranteed not to scratch or tear. Just thought I'd through that info out for anyone who may be interested in checking them out.

Try going to eBay, then search for "cable remote" in "cameras".  Scroll down till you see one with the distinctive Greenlife logo patch (looks like an out-of-kilter memory card outlined in green), click it, then take them up on the offer to go to their store.  Then just input "K20D" and the products they have should show up.  I really love this little screen protector!
I know there must be a smarter way to find them, but this one worked for me.

Thank you Heiland. With your directions I found Greenlife. I always think it is strange the way companies play with the ebay shipping thing. The same company will have free shipping on the exact same item, and then charge shipping on that item in another listing. Strange, but I've grown used to seeing it.
It is good to get your feedback about the LCD protector. Does the glass affect the way the LCD displays the image at all? I know some protectors make the LCD darker. Have you noticed anything like that?

Thanks again for stepping me through how to find Greenlife on e-bay.

Yes, I have seen different prices and different shipping policies from Greenlife-style on eBay.  It was the free shipping from Hong Kong that made this so amazing!  As for the protector making the screen darker...They claim very high light transmission for it, and it seems so to me.  It is very thin (which is good) and very shiny (not so good, but much like the plastic one we get for free on the K20D).  I use the screen to check the shot, not to shoot it, so i can usually find some shade to use...so I might not be as good a judge as someone who used it more.  I see no change in brightness or legibility.  For me, not worrying about scratches turning the thing opaque is the real blessing...I remember Timex watches of my youth and the plastic "crystal" that would eventually make it hard to tell the time!  I saw a really good smear the other day, and smiled as it easily scrubbed away, and left a pristine surface.  OK, I warned you I REALLY like this thing, LaRee!

Thank you Heiland. It sure is a much better price than most of the other glass protectors I've found out there.

Most welcome, LaRee.
