RUGGED HANDHELDS
Zebra TC78 Screen Protector
The Zebra TC78 is a rugged handheld computer with a 4.7" display, 1280x720 resolution. Rugged handhelds live with drops, gloved input, and scanner-heavy workflows. Fleet buyers usually start from the manufacturer's own film part number when one exists, then compare custom-cut options for quantity pricing. Screen dimensions are sourced from manufacturer documentation; protector cut dimensions are confirmed with the supplier before production.
