Does putting a zagg shield on my ipaid air really diminish the excellence of the retina screen

Just really wondering if I should get a zagg shield put on my ipad air.  Will it really chance the nice retina view or is there only a slight change that only a very experienced eye would notice?
Also, anybody out there us the Targus cases?

In my experience any screen protector does cause some kind of artifacts on the screen.
I had the invisible shield installed at a booth and removed it.
It caused a rainbow effect and softening of the screen.

    Will putting a Zagg screen protector on my retina display degrade its sharpness?

    Doing a search, I found one poster who wrote the following regarding a ZAGG and retina
    needleman-mark:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17950309#17950309
    i bought the Zagg HD for my Ipad3 - good protection - does not seem to distort the retina display - I guess Im lucky in that there is a Zagg kiosk in the mall near me - they didnt have the HD protector so i had to order it from Zagg - but when it cam i took it to the person at the kiosk and they put it on for me ( charged $10) - there were a few bubbles but they disappeared by the next day

  • Problematic ZAGG shield - my ten cents.........

    I've read through a bunch of the complaints that people have had about using protective shields with the Apple iPad case. I was hoping to get a good idea of which shield to use. I haven't yet installed mine, but have formed an opinion based on what I've read and have been told by AppleCare tech support.
    1. the invisible shield by itself MOSTLY seems to be the best (or at least the most widely used....in terms of how many folks in these discussions use this vs other shields).
    2. There a ALOT of people who've gotten a blue hue on the area of the shield under constant pressure from the iPad case (on the back and around the edges of the front).
    3. This shield seems to have great tendency for little to no bubbles after installation and drying.
    4. The ant-glare version seems great at both reducing glare AND fingerprints. It also removes very little sharpness from the picture quality (barely noticeable as was put in the relative thread). The regular version seems no more (but no less) glossy than the iPad screen.
    From the above info, here's the way I see things:
    1. There's no need to place protective shielding on the back of a product being held in a case that is far more protective than the shielding.
    2. There was a question of how toxic the blue residue might be, but being that the shield is meant to keep stuff from getting through (not just sharp objects), I'd doubt that ink used in THE OFFICIAL APPLE CASE is strong enough to eat completely through the shield (or else they would probably not sell it for use on an iPad).
    3. The back of iPad is aluminum and therefore would be fairly difficult to stain (take note that the ink from the case doesn't seem to seep into the aluminum with the shield NOT on the back).
    4. Even though the shield is stained, I don't see how it matters since the iPad was mostly intended to be kept in case purchased by the user (and the stained areas don't show while in the case).
    *************ALL IN ALL*******************
    It seems to be well worth and I'll be getting mine installed immediately.........perhaps within the next hour. Hope my analysis proves useful.

    I've read a lot of reviews between Zagg and Bodyguardz screen protectors before purchasing one and I can assure you guys that there isn't a consensus on the topic. All in all, both products were recommended, but what made me decide for Bodyguardz's product was the fact that it didn't produce any haze or orange peel effect on the screen. I haven't seen this haze on the Zagg product since I've never seen an iPad with it here in Brazil.
    I've bought it, installed it (wasn't easy - but I didn't get nay bubbles) and I am happy to report it works like a charm. My iPad now handles fingerprint smudges much better and there isn't any haze at all. Also, the responsiveness wasn't affected.
    The only drawback I found is related to any screen protector: the "finger gliding" isn't as good as a clear screen. Is not that noticeable, but sometimes while I was playing some good old Fruit Ninja HD, I could tell the difference hehehe!
    So, even though the iPad screen is very resistant, I do recommend installing on of these screen protectors! But please, buy a quality one (Bodyguardz or Zagg)!

  • Why does my messages app on the iphone put 6/7 random contacts who I haven't messaged at the top of the list of people to message?

    In my messages app, let's say I sent a text to my friend 'John'. By right, his name and text should appear at the top of the list of messages, right? But instead, my phone decides to put let's say 'Mary', 'Sophie' 'Luke', 'Paul', 'dan' and 'Michelle' all on the top of this list instead. All the messages to/from them are and have been empty/deleted with weeks and i haven't contacted them in weeks either. But my phone still puts them at the top of the list, and the time stamp usually state the current time on my clock at that time. So Even though I texted john seconds ago, these people all remain above his name in my messages, why is this does anyone know?

  • Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop.  How do I get it to recognize it again?

    Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop.  How do I get it to recognize it again?

    Thank you so much for responding.  I will look for the other disks.
    One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key.  In addition, it was running much slower.  Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect.  This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key.  Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
    Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

  • I have a canon printer with a mac computer. For some reason whenever I print something the ink on the page is all green not black like it should be. I put in a new black ink cartrridge but that didn't change anything.Does anyone know why this is happening

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

    First you can try to force reboot your phone.  To do this:
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.
    If that doesn't work, you might need to hook the phone up to your computer and do a full restore through iTunes.
