    There's a compound set made by novus, just search ebay for ipod scratch remover.

    GG has a very soft outer protector that gets gummy with time, best to find a
    new one or if for playing have a new plexi cut.

    It works on any plastic, just check is your gg screen still stiff or is it rubbery?
    GG screen gets yellow...

    You can get game gear screens for cheaper than that at Kitsch-Bent if you haven't heard of it. They do heaps of game boy ones too. Nonfinite Electronics also does Gameboy ones for cheap. Got one for mah pocket and its great.
