IPad mini screen protector

Hi everyone. I have an iPad mini (1 gen) and I'm using a Smart Cover. I'm being really careful with the device and almost never take it out of my house. so I was wondering-do I also need a screen protector (a sticker) in addition to the Smart Cover or is the iPad's original screen has scratches-durability? (Scratches on the screen is my only concern).

I personally always use one. Bear in mind that I like to keep my toys as pristine as possible and am geekily proud of the fact that I sold my iPod 4 after 3 years of use looking just like it did when I bought it.
However, if the iPad spends its day on your coffee table, never leaves the house and you're the only one that uses it, you're probably fine without one.
It does come down to a personal choice,but I would equate the screen protector and case to the shoes you wear....spend most of the time around the house and able to just get by with slippers or flipflops, you dont' need a screen protector. Need to wear steel toed work boots and take it out in the field, then protect the screen.

Are there any screen protectors that feel as smooth/slippery as the iPad Mini screen?

I'm looking for a screen protector that feels as smooth/slippery as the normal iPad Mini screen. The screen feels really nice, especially for games, I'd like to keep it as is but I'm afraid of getting it scratched. This is my first Apple device so I apologize if this has been asked before. Thanks!

I was considering the same thing when I bought my iPad Air. I really enjoy using the iPad with no cover/case at all. The way Apple designed it. The cool aluminum and smooth glass. I understand you on those points. The same can be said for the iPhone. I have both a case and screen protector on my iPhone. I can remove the case, not the screen protector. Those aren't made to install and remove repeatedly.
I'd prefer not to use a screen protector because of how it blurs the screen but also because it affects the "feel" of the screen. Gone is the silky smooth feeling of the glass. I got a scratch on an iPhone screen once and use a screen protector now. I carry the iPhone with me 24/7 so it needs more protection.
My iPad Air is a different story. I also bought it at BestBuy and use it for iBooks quite a bit too! I use the new iPad Air SmartCase to protect it but haven't installed a screen protector. I haven't installed one because the screen is only vulnerable while I'm using it and is protected by the case while I carry it. I like how the display looks and feels without the screen protector on.
The good news is, if you decide to install a screen protector, you can easily remove it if you change your mind. I hope this helps...

How do i fix a scratch on iPad mini screen?

IS there any product I can buy to repair a small scratch on my iPad mini screen?

You can either put a screen protector over it and ignore it, pay the $219+ for an out of warranty replacement or if you have apple care plus, cash in one of your $49 dollar accidental damage events and get a replacement.

My ipad mini screen is broken

I lent on my ipad mini screen in the bottom corner and now there are loads of vertical and horizontal lines on the screen which block the view. Would this be an LCD replacement or external glass replacement. Does anyone have any experience of this and how did they fix the ipad.

It will cost you approximately US$250.00 to US$300.00
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

IPad mini screen problems

A section of my brand new iPad minis screen keeps going blank, black or extremely pixelated though the screen sensor still works in that area. It used to come and go but currently it seems to be permanent. What to do????

Doesn't matter where you bought it, it's still covered by Apple's 1-year warranty.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
If not then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

If you have done all of the above i would call Apple care or setup an appointment at a Apple Store for them to diagnose and replace.

Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Hi Deeveeay,
Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). When the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue has resolved itself.
Cheers,

Why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

My Ipad 3 is the same, it must be a design fault cuz I dropped a pound coin on my ipad screen and it shattered and every other week there's a new dent or scratch, though I wouldn't say I'm overly rough with it. I use it a lot, like most do, so accidents will happen and Apple hav to allow for that. I deffently wouldn't say that they are worth the money for the amount of trouble they cause, they r great devices, just far too delicate and expensive!

My iPad mini screen won't rotate

Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

My ipad mini screen is broken and i still have the service coverage. Will they fix it for me ?

My ipad mini screen is broken. I bought it in Orlando in Febuary and when i last checked my status, my service coverage is still active but my technical support is not does it mean if i bring it in december they will be able to fix the screen for me or will i have to ay for the fix ?

Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty unless you have Apple Care+ which allows for two incidents ofa ccidental damage and there is a $49 copay for each incident. You do not have Apple Care+ so this would not be covered for you.
If you are saying that the screen broke on its own, you would have to convince Apple that it happened that way.
Apple offers an out of warranty iPad replacement with a refurbished device and the cost starts at $249.00 in the U.S. for an iPad 1. Apple does not repair iPads at this time, they offer these replacement devices. You can read more about it here.
