I just received a email response from Zagg stating that they do not have plans to offer a shield for the cobalt computer as of today. The shields are very tough and work well on my oceanic computer. I am sure many of you have them on your ipods and cell phones. I would like help with emailing them asking to offer a shield for the atomic cobalt and many other dive computer. Maybe they will see a new area to extend their business. Pleas Help.....
You can email them at questions @ zagg.com
Thanks

I e-maile ZAGG a long time ago about that (like over a year ago) and I never even got a response...like you, I'm also using ZAGGs on my Oceanic Pro Plus II computers, so what I ended up doing was ordering extra screens that were for the Oceanics and cut then down to size/shape to work on the Cobalts...where there's a will, there's a way!

The Xen, Xeo and X1 all have ZAGG shields. We just needed to find the right person at ZAGG to get them to do it. They are not the most responsive company, but they will make a shield for a computer if the manufacturer convinces them to.

You would think that with all the phones and other gadgets they offer shields for that 1 model would be very close with no modifications. I think I will email and give them the dimensions and see what i get in response. Zagg responded the next day with my first question so maybe I will have luck. His name was..

...also, ZAGG...used to......make screens for Cochran Gemini's, but they stopped production of those a while back, forcing me to use modified (custom home-cut/measured) screens designed for Oceanic Pro Plus IIs on some of my Gemini's as well.

Thanks, Ron.

It would be great if you'd let us know what, if anything, you find out.

I emailed them a couple of months ago, so hopefully the Cobalt's on their radar screen given the number of inquiries they're getting.

It's a little bizarre treating the dimensions as proprietary when they are available to anyone with a ruler. For what it's worth, the Cobalt screen protector is about 1.67" X 2.30". The screen size Cobalt uses is actually quite common, so it would be quite likely that one for another device would fit.

Apparently Atomic contacted Zagg some time ago, and were told to get a screen protector labeled for the Cobalt they would have to guarantee Zagg fairly substantial minimum sales, which they were unwilling to do. I have a message in with Zagg to find out if this is still the case.

According to Atomic's case/ materials engineer, the protector supplied with the Cobalt is for all practical purposes the same. I'd be curious if any of you who get a Zagg protector see a difference- thicker?

Wow, I can't believe you just gave out that bit of Atomic's proprietary info like that. Good luck in your next job! :D

Seriously, I'm wondering if it was the thickness that's proprietary as perhaps that info would have some value for a competitor.

But in any case, it's not as if we're talking about the identity of the Colonel's eleven herbs and spices.

Considering he was the one who designed it, you'd figure it wasn't so proprietary...

I bought one for my Oceanic PP2 before they got into the Dive computers or atleast I just didnt see them on the site. I Actually used the one made for an LG Voyage Phone and it fit perfectly over the screen. It didn't cover the buttons but that was fine for me it covered the whole main section of the screen and left the sides just slightly open. You could just measure it and match it up that way.

If you look closely at the pic you can see the edge of where the screen protector stops. Worked awesome and lasted for about 2 years and still goin.

The Zagg Shield for the olympus FE-340 Came today and will work very nice. It is almost the exact same width and maybe a 1/8th of a inch short on the length. With the recessed screen on the cobalt it will give very good coverage. I did try to take pictures but its pretty tough to get pictures of clear plastic.
I am ordering a second one for my save a dive kit.

I was hoping that the Xen would have one available. What a sweet looking BT. Now...I just need the money.

Just to let everyone know, I did hear back from Zagg that they would like to make a "Cobalt" screen protector. We will be sending them a dummy unit to work from and photograph. I don't know how long the process takes, but it sounds like the Olympus FE-340 works in the interim.

I am sure this is old news but I installed a Zagg invisishield on my Cobalt yesterday. They are making one for the Cobalt now.

On a related topic, I want to get a protector for my Vyper and remove the plastic shield. Does anyone know if the protector is made for the screen itself or the plastic shield of the Vyper?

For my Oceanic Pro Plus 2, I just went to best buy and bought a universal Zagg screen protector, applied it to the screen, worked the edges with my finger nail, then used a sharp razor blade to cut off excess. It isn't cosmetically perfect, but does the job perfectly. May work with your cobalt.

I bought the Zagg protector for the Vyper. It comes with three: one for the screen itself, one for the plastic shield, and one for the back. Why they include one for the back is beyond me.

Anyway I took the plastic shield off, covered the screen with the Zagg and now the screen is much clearer without the plastic shield.

The one for the back I used on my Oceanic Prodigy.
