Do you really need a screen protector for iPad?

So I know the iPad 4th gens have a really durable glass screen. Do I really need a screen protector? I have a case that covers the screen. It is an incpio.

If you have a cover for it (your case) you shouldn't need a screen protector. I use Apple's Smart Cover and do not have a screen protector.

  • Do You really Need a Screen Protector?

    I'd just like to know if you really need this, the GS has a different coating on their screen than the previous models. Do these protectors really work, do you need them on your GS for insurance?

    A screen protector on the new 3GS would defeat the purpose of the oleophobic coating. I have tried protectors on my Palms but I prefer bare back with the iPhone. Screen protectors are a pain to apply without leaving wrinkles and bubbles and you can never replicate the smooth feel of the glass. You will also lose a little bit of screen brightness as they will never be 100% transmitting. I carry the iPhone in my pocket with the screen facing my pants leg and my wallet on top without an unsightly bulge. I don't put keys or lose change in that pocket. I agree that if you are throwing the iphone into a bag, purse, or backpack with lots of sharp objects (like your eating utensils or Bowie knife set), a slip cover might be a good idea. I bought one but it was so tight and hard to remove that I don't use it. Maybe others can suggest a good case that preserves the slimness of the iPhone.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Does iPhone 6 really need a screen protector?

    Does the iPhone 6 really need a screen protector if the phone is in a case?

    I put one on my iPad 2, largely cause it's an expensive toy and I want to keep it in good shape. I like knowing that if my niece plays 'mad birds' and gets grubby little fingerprints on it I am simply cleaning off a sheet of plastic, not the screen. I consider it an investment against the potential resell value whenever i replace it.
    Like the others have said, personal choice.
    I'd think if your device never leaves the living room table and is only used by adults in a controlled surrounding, then you probably have no need. But if you're carrying it around, using it anywhere, potentially sharing it with others then it may be a good idea.

  • About Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini

    I'm getting Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini on eBay.com in the Mail tomorrow but i have 1 question if I Bring My Apple iPad Mini 16GB WiFi Only Tablet to The Apple Store tomorrow will they put on the Lot Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector on My Apple iPad Mini if i asked them to??? cause I Don't know how to do it, My House is Very Dusty yes even if i try to do it myself yeah i have to many Electronics in my house yes I Need Help, I Do have an Apple iPhone 5 64GB From Verizon Wireless should i try going there to if they can't help me at The Apple Store???
    Sorry i'm being very Annoying to bother anyone here, i know you don't like it?

    You know, it's ok to ask! If I was you, I'd try asking them at the Apple store or, if you got the iPad at the Verizon store, go there. It won't hurt to ask - just tell them you don't know how to do it and don't want to mess it up. It's a little difficult to do it right - I got that kind of thing for my Macbook Pro for the bottom where your hand rests and had a hard time putting it on. So, go ahead and ask. If they're too busy, read the instructions a couple of times and wait until you have plenty of time and are relaxed and try it yourself.
    I know you can do it if necessary!

  • Do u  need a screen protector for the Iphone

    I know it might be a stupid question but alot of my friends have the Iphone 4 and they say they dont need a screen protector because the screen doesnt scratch like other smartphone and phone screens. Anyone know if this is true?
    Eric   

    I use all my devices naked. Screen protectors detract from my enjoyment. But if you're worried, try one and see if you can live with it. 
    The glass is really strong. I've had my iPad for eight months and it doesn't have a scratch on it. Granted, that device is babied more than a phone, not shoved in a pocket.
    Be sure to follow Apple's directions for cleaning the screen. Cleaning it too often can break down the oils that protect the glass.

  • Best screen protector for ipad 2?

    I have an ipad 2 3G with ATT. I really want a screen protector but i dont know which one to get thats bubble free. Right now im leaning towards the zagg invisible sheild(Anyone with experience?) Also i want a front only because i have the speck pixelskin HD wrap.

    I tried Zagg (it's all Best Buy sells) on my iPad2.  Actually, I tried two times.  The first time with the anti reflective screen protector.  Hated it.  It made pictures and words look like I was reading through something that slightly distorts the image.  The second one I had installed was the crystal clear Zagg film.  I didn't like it at all.  The tactile feel is well, tacky and the liquid under the screen (required to get it to seat correctly) gives the screen a not really smooth look.  So, I took it off and got my money back.
    I currently don't have a screen protector on mine.  I'm not sure I will use one.  Instead, I have a full body case on mine that protects the front and back.  Like someone above said, the only thing that will touch my screen is my finger and I've noticed that I've developed an odd little tick before I touch either my iPhone 4 or my iPad2.  I tend to wipe my finger on either my shirt or pants to eliminate oil.  I wasn't even aware I was doing this until someone pointed it out to me.  It does help keep my screens very clean.....LOL
    If I was going to put anything on my iPad2, it would from PowerSupport (www.powersupportusa.com).  I do have their film on my iPhone, which was sold to me at the Apple Store and applied by Apple.  It's static mount and after nearly a year of daily use, it looks as good as the day it was installed.  I also had their film on my iPhone 3G.

  • Do you recommend using a screen protector for iPhone 5?

    Does iPhone 5's screen scratch easily with normal use? I'm really careful with my Apple products, but I don't want to have scratches on my screen.

    had
    2 ipod  touch never used one
    1 iphone never used one but did crack the back glass a bit a screen protector would not have helped there though
    1 ipad crack the front screen a bit from drop doubt a protector would have helped
    don't really have much in the ways of scratches on any of them but if you are the type who will try to sell
    the device  you own as soon as a new one is released then maybe both a rugged case and screen protector would be a good investment

  • Do I need a screen protector for my iPhone 5 if I have a wallet case

  • Screen Protector for iPad

    So I just got an iPad and got a screen protector from Wal-Mart and the thing was horrible.
    I was wondering what the best screen protector is, and if they are really needed? I have a Tarus hard case for it, and use the stylus pen for touching the screen.
    Any suggestions would be great thanks

    I tried a couple of different ones and found the one from Power Support interfered the least with viewing the screen (none of them had an adverse effect on touching the screen). But I will say that I noticed that with any screen protector on it the ipad got noticeably warmer than it did when it didn't have one, so I decided that possibly they were interfering with heat dissipation and removed it.
    I certainly didn't find it necessary to 'protect' the screen while the ipad was in the apple case, but was looking for a way to cut glare. None of them were good enough at that to be worth leaving one on.

  • Screen protector for iPad 2 yay or nay?

    I've purchased a back protector from Bodyguardz and have a Smart Cover...I've had my iPhone 4 from day 1 and have had no scratches on the screen at all. I feel as though the iPad should be well protected (the back is the most vulnerable) with the smart cover...
    Have any of you experienced scratches with your iPhones/iPads that could indicate a decent possibility of getting scratches on the iPad 2 screen?
    I am not a huge fan of how the screen protectors feel on the front of iDevices...kinda rubbery, which is why I usually choose against them.

    I think having the screen uncovered including a screen protector will make it run cooler. Just the other day I forgot to put my iPad 1 to sleep and I had the cover for the Apples case over the screen. After a few hour it was very warm!
    I would guess that the glass screen is the primary way that the iPad radiates heat from the unit.

  • How necessary are screen protectors for iPad?

    I just got a new iPad and protected it by putting it in an Apple smart case. I'm debating installing a screen protector. How necessary are they? How easily does the iPad screen scratch? Is the smart case sufficient protection?

    It all depends on how you use yoru device. Do you have kids that will play with it with grubby fingers? Use it outside? Use it in places where it can get scratched or nicked? then you might want one.
    I put one on mine just because it's a 500 dollar device and I want to protect it and keep it in good shape. Others swear that the last thing they need is a screen protector.
    All comes down to personal preference.
    I would say, personally, the smart case may not be the most protective out there. But ultimately it comes down to you, how and where you use it.
