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!

    Does apple make a drawing pen for the iPad ?

    No, apple doesnt have any apple branded stylus pens. An apple store worker recommended one to me and I loved it so my recommendation is the amPen Hybrid Stylus pen from Amazon. Great stylus, features the fiber mesh tips that dont stick or drag on the screen. They have a few colors you can choose from too.
    They are under 8$ and have free shipping too.

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

  • 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.

  • Does apple recommend a screen protector

    I was wondering if there is any recommendation for a screen protector, and is it a worthwhile investment?

    Screen protectors are invaluable.  If you spend as much money as you spend on your apple devices should you invest a little bit more to ensure they stay scratch/scuff/damage-free for the life of product?
    Screen protectors may be hard to learn how to put on but once you discover all the tricks and develop a steady hand you can easily apply one in a few minutes and it will completely blend in.  Depending how rough you are with your devices will go hand in hand with how long a screen protector will last.
    Lastly, you can get matte, or anti-fingerprint screen protectors that actually take the edge off fingerprints.  I never will use an iPhone/iPod/iPad without one.

  • 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 the TM2

    Anyone know of a good screen protector for the TM2 that doesn hinder the touch screen? I have done a search but nothing comes up. Maybe its just too new for now.
    Will a TX2 screen protector fit? I don't have a TX2 so I can't compare the screen sizes.
    Thanks

    I am using the Photodon protector for the TX2. It's honestly a bit small. They will cut them to size. I found videos online and apparently the Photodon interfered the least as far as glare reducing screen protectors go. It does reduce the touch sensitivity some, but I've noticed very little difference after initial adjustment. I like to take my college assignments and reading to the park with the kids and the nice mirror screen does not do well for that, so I went for the glare reducing despite the bit of fuzziness that results. The display works quite nice in spite of it. The inking, which I thought was excellent before the protector, is actually even better. I think the minute amount of texture actually enhances pen action. My two cents. I'm ordering another custom fit to size presuming my replacement machine performs better than my initial. I'm having a ton of post errors. I think it's bios, honestly, but HP offered me a deal I'm having a hard time refusing...still very torn. I ordered this to my specs with nearly every upgrade included. The replacement would not have my fingerprint reader and I've been trying to go without it to determine whether I can live without it. Frankly, in tablet mode, it's a godsend, although it is not nearly as functional as my old Toshiba laptop's was...It would register far more websites and programs than the one included with the tm2...still, logging on from sleep in slate is miserable without it! I tried an app that lets you sign your name instead, but it doesn't seem to like Win 7 64 no matter what I do, including unpacking the MSI and manually placing files in folders. 
    Sorry, got off topic...but give Photodon a try.

  • Screen protector for the back of iPhone 4?

    I bought a screen protector for my iPhone 4 for obvious safety reasons. I also seen screen protectors for the back of the phone as well. Since it is glass also I was wondering if it is practical to shell out the money for a screen cover for the back also or if anyone has had any problems without one.

    Well, I didn't mess with trying to figure out if I could scratch it. I just put on a front, back, and sides cover from best skins ever. Here is the website http://www.bestskinsever.com/
    Well worth the money.

    I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies.  Apple does not offer replacement parts.
    Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results.  There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.

  • 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.

  • 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.
