Does an ipad need a screen protector

does the ipad mini need a screen protector or is it tough enough to withstand scratching?

I use Apple's Smart Cover instead of a screen protector.

10 bucks more would get you a Smart Case, which also protects the aluminum back of the iPad.

  • Does the iPad 4 need a screen protector?

    I recently bought an iPad with a retina screen,does this iDevice need a screen protector?retina screen loses quality using a screen protector on?

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Need a screen protector with Musemee Notier stylus?

    I have an Ipad Air 2 which I love, and am looking for the right app/stylus combination to take notes.  Lots of apps are good -- the issue is the stylus.  I've tried several and just got the Musemee Notier which is spectacular.  But the screen protector I purchased as a safeguard did not apply well and I am going to return it.
    Does anyonen know if  I need aa screen protector with a high precision stylus such as the Musemee Notier?
    Thanks!

    Hey
    I just boght the new Air 2. Does the Musemee Notier v2 work with the Air 2?
    I'm searching the right Stylus to take notes at university and i found nothing about the Musemee and the Air 2.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Does my iPhone 4S need a screen protector?

    I tend to change cases allot. I find that when I have a screen protector on the case will bubble and come off. I was wondering, are screen protectors really needed? Everyone tells me they are a must, but what are your opinions?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why does my Ipad start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own frequently?

    Why does my Ipad suddenly start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own?  It's like it spazzes out rather frequently for no apparent reson.

    It's hard to say why, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. See if this stops it.

  • Is it easy to scratch iPod touch 5g on screen and do I need a screen protector?

    The screen protector looks terrible on it

    No. it's not needed but it's up to you if after two years of having the ipod the screen would be brand new or look used. The screen on i devices are actually somewhat scratch resistant. Just as long as you dont put your ipod in your'e pocket with keys,coins, or anything hard you will be okay.
