I bought a graphic LCD, and got tired of connecting all the wires to a breadboard, so I made a shield.
It uses my idea of the offset pin headers in the development as a cheap way of using protoboard as a shield.
This barely leaves any pins on the Arduino, but it's fun to play around with 
Looks alright, as you said, it doesn't provide you with a lot of pins but if it could be made realy cheap (after all it only takes a board and some headers) then I'm sure some people would be interested.
I like the arduino logo on it btw

If the pins from the display could be made un-plugable then that would be pretty good. Wouldn't need much of a change and if you blew it up or broke it a new one could be plugged right in.
I'm still at a loss to find a use for mine .It won't display naked women even in black and white and cut down to 128 X 64 atm. The make bitmap program is making blank pages for me.So a 16 x2 seems more useful actually
The bitmaps you use must be 128x64 or smaller, and MUST be a monochrome bitmap (Open it in paint and save as monochrome). Keep in mind that a pixel is either on or off, so you won't get any detail.
It caught me out the first time too.
I tried to use my non-soldering board but its wires were too short, so I made some cable from 40-pin IDE cable to connect it. To make a shield is good idea.

where can I find this shield ?
will it work with the adafruit Graphic LCD 128x64 ??????
help anyone ?
It's DIY...
You would have to make it yourself...
yes but some help doesn't hurt
Well all he did was connect the graphic LCD pins to the arduino pins with a protoboard. You could do that yourself without too much trouble I am sure. I don't think it would be commercially viable to create a PCB shield for it though. Maybe I am wrong
