Do screen protectors overheat your iPad?

I was told at an Apple store in France that they don't sell screen protectors for the iPad anymore because it overheats your iPad because it can't breathe. I was wondering if this is really true because I don't see how it can overheat the iPad any more than usual because it's only covering the glass?
iPad Air 7.1.2

The glass screen has no holes, so it can't breathe. The person is wrong.

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.

Should I get a screen protector for my iPad air 2?

SShould I get a screen protector for my iPad air 2?

It's a personal decision. I've had a screen protector on my iPad 2 since the day it was bought. Same with my touch 4 and 5 (and I was able to sell my touch 4 to Best Buy in 'like new' condition thanks to a screen protector and case). other people swear never to use them and their devices are just fine.
I have two nieces that like to use my iPad so I appreciate the protector and the ability to clean it off without worrying about messing with the screen. Others don't like how the screen protector feels and won't use them. So I'd say it boils down to how are you going to use your device. Will it sit on the coffee table and never leave the house and only be used by adults? then you can probably do fine without one. Gonna take it to school and on vacation and all over the place using it wherever? then you should consider a screen protector and case
Just don't go for the super cheap ones off amazon. They're cheap for a reason. I use a zagg one. it is expensive but it has a lifetime guarantee. If it's messed up protecting your device they replace it free. So worth it for me.

What is the best screen protector for the iPad 3 where was I put it on for me chits hard steps

What's the best screen protector for the iPad three and reasonably priced. Why doesn't Apple just make wondering themselves.

Invisible Shield by Zagg has always been my preference.

Does apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad 4?

Does Apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad with a retina screen?

Apple's recommendations are usually hardware and software related. How to charge the battery, the benefits of backing up, transferring purchases, and things like that.
I have never seen Apple officially recommend any third party accessory and I doubt that they ever will do so. Using a screen protector is up to the individual. I have always used a screen protector of some type on all of my iDevices. I have somewhat oily skin and I would rather trash and have to clean a screen protector than have to keep up with cleaning the glass.
I have an iPad 3 and I have it encased in an OtterBox Defender case with a built in screen protector. My iPad 3 is in pristine condition - screen and back. My OtterBox Defender has taken quite a beating however, and I prefer that the case take the abuse and not the iPad!

Should I get a screen protector for my iPad or better buy a sleeve?

I already have a belkin case for my iPad ( which is way better compared to the apple case I returned mine and got the belkin instead)
Now I'm planning on buying a screen protector for my iPad Or a sleeve for traveling... Is it worth the buy to get an iPad screen protector? Or should I wait and look for more option when choosing a screen protector ?

Don't waste the money on a screen protector. Greasy fingers are easy to clean with a dry lint-free cloth since the screen is oleophobic or resistant to oil. You might actually have a worse experience with the screen protector. The glass is almost resistant to scratching. If my iPhone experience is anything, I've throw it into my pocket with keys, and I have no scratches on the screen.
Get the sleeve. I like the Apple version, because I can prop it up on my desk, and it does protect the screen when you're not using it.

The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
Thanks in advance.

I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

Screen protector for new iPad !!!

I have got screen protector I.e. anti glare for new iPad 3 64 gb wifi which has greatly diminished retina display quality!!!! any suggestions for the same????

I use Zagg screen protectors
www.zagg.com
they may be a bit expensive but have a lifetime guarantee. I have the HD one on my touch and you can't really tell that I have one on there.

Does anyone know if the new iPad fits the Powersupport screen protector for the iPad 2? And if so, where can I get it installed?

Hey, I was just wondering because I am purchasing my New iPad on Sunday! So excited! But I want to order a screen protector before I go and purchase it. I heard you could get screen protectors installed at Best Buy, but I'm not sure!! Please help!

I just got the powersupport crystal fil for the iPad2 and installed it on my new iPad (3rd gen). It fits perfectly and so far it doesn't affect anything (proximity, portrait/landscape rotation). in my opinion it's the best screen protector for the iPhone so naturally I thought i'd give it a go on the iPad (no adhesive, easy install, great quality etc). One note though, I'm not sure if the anti-glare one would work well on the new iPad with the retina display. I know the iPhone 4 uses a different one than the 3GS. Oh and Best Buy doesn't sell the powersupport.

What screen protector and case will you be buying for your new ipad (3rd generation)?

Hello!
I'd like to know what types of cases people will be buying for their new ipad this coming Friday as well as what type of screen protector/body guard you'd recommend.
I've been looking online trying to find places that would be able to ship before Friday, but I'm not sure which one to go with, there's too many options! I'm definitely interested in a leather folio case though.
I've also been wondering what type of screen protector to put on. I've seen the iVisor anti-glare, and I really like how it works, but seriously... anti-glare on a retina display? I don't know... any thoughts on that or suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!

I had an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad 2 and it degraded the quality of the screen so much I removed it. I have a clear skin on the back, which I like. It prevents scratches to the aluminum back and provides a gripping surface to hold on to. The iPad itself was slippery so that extra grip factor helps me. I use a smart cover for the front, because I like the features it has and the quick removability when docking the iPad. I also like that it automatically sleeps and wakes the iPad thereby conserving power. I chose the polyurethane smart cover because I had heard many issues with the leather covers fading/losing color and I couldn't justify the $30.00 dollar difference in price. I dock my iPad into an iHome theater device regularly, so using a portfolio type case would be too cumbersome to deal with. I do think portfolio cases or the otter box cases provide more protection, but they add more bulk to the iPad than I care to deal with. In the end it comes down to personal preference based on your particular needs. The items I have listed and the reasons for them fit my needs, I'm sure others will have different configurations that are specific to their needs. Hope this helps,
Bob

Hi which type of screen protector should I buy for my iPad

I have an anti glare monitor and I like the way it is, I want to buy antiglare screen protector but I heard that anti glare screen protectors kill the charm of the retina display is it true? Screen Ward is the brand I am going for is it good? Just want my iPad protected.

Some will say none. That they have never used a screen protector and never will. Others always use them. I'm one of the latter. I have a Zagg screen protector on my iPad. They are expensive but they come with a lifetime warranty, so if it gets damaged protecting your device they exchange it for free.
I have found that you get what you pay for with screen protectors. Buy a cheap thing off amazon, you'll get a cheap thing that probably won't stay on your device.

Stylus hard to use with screen protector on iPad mini

I have put a screen protector on my iPad mini and now I have to press the stylus really hard.

I use a US$4.00 stylus on my screen protected iPad with no problem.
I think the tip of your stylus is too soft.
Try tapping instead of pressing.

Im looking for a stylus for Ipad Mini with a screen protector

Im a parent and looking for a (CHEAP) stylus that will work without some problems.
P.S - That this Ipad Mini has a case with a screen protector built-in.

Then you should have the information you need. There is not way to answer your question whether it will work on some unnamed case with a screen protector. Your best bet is to go to Walmart, Office Depot, etc., buy the cheapest stylus you can find, try it and return it if it does not work.

IPad mini retina screen protector

I need to get a screen protector for the new iPad mini retina and, after some googling, can't locate anything confirming whether the layout of the screen exactly matches that of the predecesor, iPad mini. Is the footprint of the two devices exactly the same?

The screens are exactly the same. I have a Tech Armor HD Screen Protector on my iPad Mini and absolutely love it. You wouldn't even know it was on there if I didn't tell you.

Anti glare/scratch screen protector Ipad Mini 2 - Not compromising clarity

I'm looking for an anti glare/anti-scratch screen protector for the ipad mini 2 retina. I know Zagg has an awesome one however the clarity is greatly compromised at only 86% clarity. Is there a screen protector that has great clarity along with anti scratch and anti glare, or at the very least minimized the glare from outside or inside lighting.

Hi. I'm in the market for one too. I've always used power support and they're very good albeit expensive at £30 a pop. I've looked at the Zagg but there have been some not so great reviews. So my advice is go power support, the HD anti glare one is very good but if you don't want to dull the display and it does make a difference then go for the crystal clear. Hope that helps
