OK... what is this?

Anyone got a clue what this is?

It came in a package today with a memory card I had ordered. Although the rectangles are marked in inches, they don't measure what is marked.

Maybe an LCD screen protector?

What scale are they? Surely, since they are marked in inches, they must be scaled to something... Perhaps knowing the scale could give a clue on what they are for...?

I just noticed - they are not proportional - Look at your second image. Starting from "2.5", going left - it goes in .5 increments, evenly. But the spaces are anything but even.

...It's a mystery to me.

If it is, then the numbers are off. That, and I can't see how you stick it on a screen..... unless you use your own glue (then you'd have all those marks to contend with).

What scale are they? .....

Looks like 1.28:1 to me.

Diagonal inches, like a TV.

Hmm, I was thinking that maybe there were two layers and the numbers were only on one of them.

OK, that's correct. But what's it for?

 

[Josh66]

Just realized that this is a trick question and you already know the answer...

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Are you positive it's not 2-ply?

Are you positive it's not 2-ply?

If it is, I got a dud. It's just a sheet of plastic.

If I did, I sure wouldn't be posting this.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Maybe it was just packing material.

You don't seem to be agreeing with yourself.

PWI?

If it is, I got a dud. It's just a sheet of plastic.

In that case, my guess is you got the back sheet to an LCD protector.
