Homemade Clear Screen Protection for an iPod Touch
The iPod Touch has a touch-sensitive screen that controls all of its functions. You can quickly make a homemade clear screen protector for the iPod Touch that will keep fingerprints and dirt from fouling the screen with a few household supplies. You will still be able to activate the touch-sensitive screen by touching it, even though you have placed protection over it.
