Installed ones are pricey with a capital "P." Be sure to shop around--Gutter Helmet, etc. There are, however do-it-yourself covers that are much more economical.

I've installed the ones from our local Menards that are in sections about 30" long. They work well, but I would suggest securing the edge that goes under the shingles (toward the roof peak) with RTV or another adhesive, as they tend to pull out if there's a heavy rain or ice storm. They do a good job of keeping leaves & debris out of the gutters.
