Is a screen protector needed for an iPad mini 3?

i Was told that they have them built in but can't find support info on that.

A screen protector (very thin plastic, user-applied screen coating) is not "built in" to any iPad (or otherwise).
A screen protector is not really needed if you use something like an Apple Smart Cover which will help protect the screen.

If you choose to purchase an aftermarket screen protector and have never installed one before, I highly recommend you have the store where you purchase it from install it for you. On large devices such as iPads, they can be very difficult to install correctly.

Screen protector needed?

I have a new iPad and I'm just wondering if I should buy a screen protector. I mean I'm pretty careful og my iPad I have a smart cover and a back cover to protect my iPad so is a screen protector needed? Any help woud be appreciated.

Its definitely a user preference thing. I have one on mine and love it, while others never have had one and never want one.
I think the one thing to consider...how do you use it? Just you in the living room where it stays in the house? Or do you toss it in your bag and carry it around with others possibly using it?
If you're in situations where you could damage it, then it may be a good idea. But if you're never out of the house, then you may be okay.
For me? It's a $500 investment and I want to protect it and keep it in good shape for as long as I can....so it's never anywhere 'naked', both front and back. But I also toss mine in my backpack and carry it around.

After i pulled a screen protector off my new ipad there were what look like small round bubbles on the actual screen. They do not go away.The protector was an Ikit one.

After I pulled a screen protector off my new ipad I found round spots on the actual screen of the ipad which will not go away. The protector was an IKIT one.

It's probably just dried solution from the application of the screen protector. You can get some safe cleaning solutions for your iPad screen. there's iClean, Monster has an iPad safe solution........

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

If the iPad is unopened, and in the original box, then it comes with the full warranty. However, if it is used, and comes with an original box, it may or may not have the original warranty; if there's still some warranty left, the original seller should have transferred the warranty to you.

The only way you can add to your warranty is by extending an Applecare contract.

If you don't plan on carrying it, the keyboard that is sold for use with the Mac is a great keyboard because it is full size.

Faulty touchscreen for my iPad mini

The entire left column of my iPad mini is faulty. My concrete evidence is that when i use safari, and intend to close the first tab, closest to the left side, the "x" is totally not responsive. Other evidences such as area near to the left of the screen, actions taken are either erratic or not as responsive; one of the examples is when I type and intend to change from ABC to 123, it totally failed to respond at all, same goes to the "shift" key. I did what I need to do; hard reset, wipe screen with damp cloth, tear off the screen protector, with practically all the possible steps I can do, it still is faulty. Went to the nearest Apple reseller, the iPad mini was somehow okay on the spot. Returned home to the same problem again. Looked like it had some sort of temper.
Anyway, the faulty area on the left is exapandable; sometimes the slim area near the left can stretch a few centimeters towards the right. Meaning bigger area of total unresponsive touch screen. I pulled my finger across the screen to check the sensitivity. I pulled it across and to the right, the home screen retracted as soon as the last millimeter of my skin is off the side of the screen. I did the same thing, pulled it across to the left, some part of my finger was still there, and it already retracted. As mentioned, at times when the faulty area expands, it becomes even more obvious that it stops responding; around 1-2cm from the left of the screen has totally no response to my finger, which is still there dragging on the screen. 1-2cm is the peak of the problem, which only stays until I sleep/wake or restart the iPad mini, and then the problem minimizes again.
The consistent problem is a very small area, which is the entire left side of the screen, but it is only completely visible and obvious when I close tabs in Safari. Help please? Is there a possibility that it's the digitzer that is faulty? The staff at the Apple reseller asked me to use it for another week to confirm problem. It began to have this problem 2 days ago

There's nothing under Malaysia in that link
Yes I did. The warranty is valid. The trouble is getting to Apple's direct channels. The authorised resellers here in my town are only responsible for the products they sold by themselves. I ordered mine from the website and had the iPad mini delivered to my doorstep, not from the local authorised resellers. That's why the local authorised resellers are not responsible for my iPad mini and they would charge me a fee for delivering it to the headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
If I were to fly in myself to KL, it would cost me 120USD for return tickets. Ouch!

It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

Any best practices for the iPad mini????

I am in the beginning stages of designing my mag for the iPad.... now the iPad mini seems to be all the hype and the latest news states that the mini may out sell the larger one.
So... I know that the dimensions are 1x1 on bumping down to the smaller screen... but what about font sizes? what about the experience? Anyone already ahead of the game?
I have my own answers to these questions, but any one out there have some best practice advice or links to some articles they find informative...

I think 18-pt body text is fine for the iPad 2 but too small for the iPad mini. Obviously, it depends on your design and which font you're using, but it seems like a good idea to bump up the font size a couple points to account for the smaller screen.
For the same reason, be careful with small buttons and small tap areas.
I've also noticed that for whatever reason, MSOs and scrollable frames in PNG/JPG articles look great on the iPad 2 but look slightly more pixelated on the iPad Mini. It might just be my imagination.
Make sure that you test your design on the Mini.
