Do I need a screen protector for my New iPad with retina display?

I have a screen protector on my new iPad with retina display, but does this effect the screen display and do I really need a screen protector on?

So I just got my first ever iPad (4th gen) about 4 days ago. I am waitng on a case and have been looking into a screen protector, debating this same question on quality. I have a 3 year old and he is dying to play with it. In the meantime I cannot stress how careful I have been, as Im sure you all know what Im talking about.  Last night I was using it on my lap and my shirt tugged it off, causing me to grab it before it fell. Of course the longest, sharpest nail, caught it for me. Obviously I freak out and hurry to clean the screen to see for damage. I see there is a huge line where my nail caught it, but upon cleaning was no longer there. This nail was sharper than any key I own! So I guess what im going to do is get a complete cover for use with my 3 year old and just a basic one when I use it. Good job apple!

    i am using a GLOBE prepaid microsim for my new ipad with retina. i was registered with supersurf 999, and i was able to enjoy my internet connection until i updated my ios with 6.1... since then, every time i go online,it says i am not registered with mobile internet... however, when i insert the microsim on my broadband, i can actually go online... what to do??? my apn setting in internet.globe.com.ph which is for prepaid users...

    PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:
    Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol
    I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.
    My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.
    My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).
    There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19626235#19626235
    What happens is simple:
    1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.
    2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.
    3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"
    4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)
    I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.

  • Could I trade or rersell the new iPad for the the iPad with retina display

    I went back to the US to visit my dad, and I bought the new iPad Wi-Fi + cellular data 32 gb on early July. I came back to Thailand on mid July and stayed there until now. I heard that the iPad with retina display came out less than a year later after the new iPad. I am planning to back to US around early September. Is there a way I could trade or resell my iPad 3rd gen for the 4th gen when I come back? Thank you

    Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

  • Hi apple, I have the new ipad with retina display, i have however cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace this ipad with the same one. It is a 32gig. Thanks

    Hi apple,
    I have the new ipad (4th gen) with retina display. Yesterday I cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace it with the same ipad. I have the 32gig ipad with wifi.
    Thanks

    The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.

  • Hello. I have iPad, new one, unpacked. but unfortunately I lost my check Can I exchange my iPad for a new one with retina display with extra payment?

    Hello. I have iPad, new one, unpacked.

    Can I exchange my iPad for another one with retina display with extra payment?

    Did you purchase it at an Apple Store?  If so, then you should be able ot have them look up the receipt in their system.  If you purchased it at another store, check their policies.  IIRC, Best Buy allows you to exchange items without a reciept, but they won't refund without one.  Other stores may have other policies.

  • My camera only stays on for a second then shuts off. I have the new iPad  with retina display

    My new iPads camera shuts off a second after I turn it on, what can I do ?

    Try closing the Camera app:
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
    2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
    If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • Do you need a screen protector for iphone4s

    Do you need a screen protector for iphone 4s ?

    It depends on how you handle and use the phone.  If you put it in a pocket or bag with loose change, keys, grit, etc, the oleophobic coating will likely scratch and sometimes the glass will scratch as well.

  • Screen protector on an iPad with retina display?

    What are your thoughts on using a screen protector on an iPad with retina display? Does this defeat the purpose of having a high quality display, or does the protection it affords despite the less sharp screen?

    I like having the protection on my iPad. I use the Otterbox Defender Case that enclosed the device completely in a black hard shell cover and it has a built in screen protector. I remove the iPad from the case every other week in order to clean the iPad and the case and I use it for a few hours without the case so I can enjoy the beautiful retina display. But I do want the protection when all is said and done.
    If you are a big photo editing person, or you watch a lot of movies and videos, the screen protector may spoil the experience for you. You have to make that assessment on your own.
    Even with this particular built in screen protector, I can still see a big difference in the screen resolution compared to my iPad original that has a ZAGG Invisibke Shield on it.

  • After i pulled a screen protector off my new ipad there were what look like small round bubbles on the actual screen. They do not go away.The protector was an Ikit one.

    After I pulled a screen protector off my new ipad I found round spots on the actual screen of the ipad which will not go away. The protector was an IKIT one.

    It's probably just dried solution from the application of the screen protector.  You can get some safe cleaning solutions for your iPad screen.  there's iClean, Monster has an iPad safe solution........

  • IPad Air is Awesome - But how will i afford it ? Need an exchange offer for iPad with Retina Display to iPad Air in India

    I have a iPad with retina display with me. We require an exchange offer for the new iPad Air in india.

    Sell your iPad retina and use that money to offset the cost of a new iPad air.
    And if your iPad retina works fine for your uses now, why not just wait - odds are there will be an iPad Air II or something new within a year or less anyway - any consumer electronic device gets replaced with a newer model in very short order anyway.  If you try to always have the very latest and greatest, you'll go broke (or nuts, or both).

  • First of all thank you so much for the answer solution to my having to place card information to download free app games on the App Store which I never had to so many times during my restoring even to brand new my practically brand new iPad with retina d.

    First of all thank you all for the kind help and to apple for all the support in these times of wonder for me. Anyways I tried the suggested solution and again reaching the review prompt and opting create new Apple ID doesn't take me to the option none on a card information or any billing account I am not meaning to sign in for. I'm just meaning to download free apps which I have done so many times now, I mean 3x. But still, the first time I had so much downloaded and I didn't have this problem. Please could someone help me? Or will I need to reset my content and settings again? This would be my 4 or 5th time to need to do so. If so, is it better I get my iPad with retina display replaced? Not wait for it's value and brand new value to it go low. I got it for an x'mas gift just this January 19 ,2013 from family and if it's better I avail of the free shipping and handling on apple's returns and exchange, then I will do so. Thank you so much again everyone.

  • Ipad with Retina Display - Cracked Screen options

    I have the following Ipad:
    Ipad with Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi, Apple A6X Dual-Core Processor.  It was purchased about 6 months ago from John Lewis with 2 year warranty.
    It fell about 2 feet in its case and the screen cracked anyway - frustrating and expensive accident.
    Accidental is not covered under any warranty - I understand and realise that.  My question is this:
    Can I get it replaced for about half the price of the original cost using the Apple 'Out of Warranty' Repair option I have seen mentioned here? Even if I bought it via John Lewis?  If so how much is this model to repair (and yes I know this means replace in reality) ? Can I just turn up in my local Apple Store tomorrow and ask for this option? Or do I have to book an appointment? Or can I do it through Apple Live Chat/support? Which would be quickest option? I am going on holiday on Friday first thing and would like to get replacement ASAP to take with me.
    Many Thanks for any answers.
