         3 . The urinal screen of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings occupy at least one half of a surface area of the first frame portion as measured parallel to the first face of the first frame portion when the first or second frame portions are resting on a flat surface. 
     
     
         4 . The urinal screen of  claim 1 , wherein a size and shape of the outer perimeter of the first frame portion is substantially identical to a size and shape of the outer perimeter of the second frame portion. 
     
     
         5 . The urinal screen of  claim 1 , wherein the outer perimeter of the first frame portion is aligned with the outer perimeter of the second frame portion when observed from a perspective perpendicular to the first face of the second frame portion. 
     
     
         6 . The urinal screen of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of posts are aligned perpendicular to the first face of the first frame portion and perpendicular to the second face of the second frame portion. 
     
     
         7 . The urinal screen of  claim 1 , wherein each of the posts has a same height, and wherein a thickness of the first frame as measured perpendicular to the first face of the first frame is less than one fourth of a height of the posts. 
     
     
         8 . A urinal screen comprising:
 a first frame portion comprising a plurality of connected cells, each of the cells having a plurality of sides and a plurality of corners, each of the plurality of sides connected at two corners to at least two other sides;   a second frame portion comprising a plurality of connected cells, each of the cells of the second frame portion having a plurality of sides and a plurality of corners, each of the plurality of sides of the cells of the second frame portion connected at two corners to at least two other sides; and   a plurality of posts extending between and connected to each of the first and second frame portions;   wherein at least one of the sides of each of the cells of the first frame and second frame is shared with another cell, and wherein the connected cells form at least a majority of an area of the first frame and of the second frame.   
     
     
         9 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein each of the sides of each of the cells of the first frame is either shared with another cell or forms a portion of an outer perimeter of the first frame portion. 
     
     
         10 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein each of the cells has a hexagonal shape. 
     
     
         11 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein each of the sides of the cells of the first frame has a same, uniform thickness as measured in a plane parallel to the first frame. 
     
     
         12 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein each of the cells has a same shape as each other cell. 
     
     
         13 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of posts is shorter than at least another one of the plurality of posts. 
     
     
         14 . The urinal screen of  claim 8 , wherein each of the cells of the first frame portion has an opening defined by an interior of the plurality of sides and corners. 
     
     
         15 . A urinal screen comprising:
 a first frame portion comprising:
 a plurality of interconnected sides; and 
 a plurality of corners at junctions between two or more sides, the sides and corners of the first frame portion forming open cells; 
   a second frame portion comprising:
 a plurality of interconnected sides; and 
 a plurality of corners at junctions between two or more sides, the sides and corners of the second frame portion forming open cells; and 
   a plurality of posts connecting the first frame portion to the second frame portion;   wherein the plurality of interconnected sides of the first frame portion have convex surfaces facing away from the second frame portion.   
     
     
         16 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of interconnected sides of the second frame portion have convex surfaces facing away from the first frame portion. 
     
     
         17 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of interconnected sides has a first end, a second end, and a length measured from the first end to the second end, and wherein a thickness of each of the one or more interconnected sides as measured parallel to the first frame portion and perpendicular to the length of the side is substantially constant between the first end and the second end of the side. 
     
     
         18 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein one or more of the plurality of posts extends at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the first frame portion. 
     
     
         19 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein a radius of curvature of the convex surfaces is non-constant. 
     
     
         20 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein one or more of the posts is tapered between the second frame portion and the first frame portion. 
     
     
         21 . The urinal screen of  claim 15 , wherein one or more of the first frame portion and the second frame portion is loaded with a fragrance.
