Love the idea of using screen protectors. I've thought of using coats of clear nail polish, but that's a much stronger material to use. I have to try that out ASAP!

Definitely give it a try. You can't even see the plastic covering of the screen protector on the metal once you put it on, similar to when you put a screen protector on a phone...it disappears. :smile1:

What kind of screen savers are you guys using? I can't get mine to fold around the bar and on the flat plate it barely want to stay down. A simple nudge with my finger pulls it up.

I use Invisible Shield by Zagg. The iPad (tablet) versions will give you a lot of material to work with. :smile1:

Is there a trick to getting the screen protector to stay on the bar. I can't get mine to stay. I bought Universal screen protector kit for Tech & audio devices because I could cut to size. I don't know how long it will stay on the plate because it wants to lift along the edges. Maybe it's the protector...I put it over the name plate of my Delancy & it wouldn't stay on. I thought that might be because of the name lettering on the plate. Where can I find the Invisible Shield by Zagg?

I think it's your screen protector. It really needs to be one of the premium brands to be most effective. I think Invisible Shield retails for $30 for the tablet screen size, but you can get it for half that amount on eBay.

I'll get the Invisible Shield. I haven't carried my new Hamiltons yet because I want to protect the plate first. You've come up with a great idea! I am also wondering about leather protector spray for them as well but they are the Saffiano leather. Should I go ahead & spray them with a leather protector? My son also bought me the leather protector from MK when he bought the purse. I've already sprayed the snake embossed to protect it.

Saffiano leather doesn't need rain/stain repellent treatment. You only have to clean it when needed and moisturize/condition it occasionally. Most dirt will come off with alcohol-free baby wipes if you don't have a leather cleaner. Also, to save money, you can moisturize/condition with any plant-based oils, like extra virgin olive oil.
 
Yes. I think this one is for the 1st generation of the iPad, which means it is cheaper than the more current versions. I just picked one up for my second Hamilton a few months back. Great price, too. :smile1:
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure. I'm going to get a couple. I appreciate all your help! :worthy:
 
None of my bags have crooked letters but I have seen bags online and instore with wonky lettering. That's one of the main reasons why ordering online is risky, does not matter what brand either. I prefer to see items with my own 2 eyes. Sometimes it can't be avoided, you just send it back or exchange it. For some reason, the "L" on selmas is a little too close somtimes to the "E" in the word Michael. It's a word bar, tacked through the material. Human error I guess. I ordered uggs with the back label sewn on a little crooked on one boot, just sent them back for an exchange. Quick and easy.
 
I have seen and heard a lot about the straps on MK bags. Most of the used bags on ebay that have damage, is always on the straps. It is usually the cross body detachable straps. Not the straps themselves, but where they hook onto, on the bag. Seems the rings are pulling away with the stitching coming out. Seems to be the most sort of damage I noticed. I even had to send one back because of it.

Oh, sorry. I just noticed this was only about Hamiltons, although there again, I have see the shorter handles bend close to the rings and the stuffing coming out. or styrofoam or whatever that is , inside the handle. Have seen it just separate. Hard to explain. Here is a pic of one I had to send back. I hope this is the right pic! lol! Well, it's not the right pic but is a good example.
