It definitely protects a lot since the dashboards are very sensitive. With a good cleaning, it is relatively easy to install, smooth application without bubbles. The downside is that even if the motorcycle is not permanently exposed to the sun, over time it dries out, fills with cracks, and needs to be thrown away. So you can't really call it cheap when a hard mobile screen protector for €3 from the Chinese store lasts for years with daily use. So with €20 for 2 years, you can have peace of mind for the possibility of unexpected damage that cannot be fixed without a protector.
