Screen protector for iPad 2 yay or nay?

I've purchased a back protector from Bodyguardz and have a Smart Cover...I've had my iPhone 4 from day 1 and have had no scratches on the screen at all. I feel as though the iPad should be well protected (the back is the most vulnerable) with the smart cover...
Have any of you experienced scratches with your iPhones/iPads that could indicate a decent possibility of getting scratches on the iPad 2 screen?
I am not a huge fan of how the screen protectors feel on the front of iDevices...kinda rubbery, which is why I usually choose against them.

I think having the screen uncovered including a screen protector will make it run cooler. Just the other day I forgot to put my iPad 1 to sleep and I had the cover for the Apples case over the screen. After a few hour it was very warm!
I would guess that the glass screen is the primary way that the iPad radiates heat from the unit.

About Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini

I'm getting Lot 3x Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector for iPad Mini on eBay.com in the Mail tomorrow but i have 1 question if I Bring My Apple iPad Mini 16GB WiFi Only Tablet to The Apple Store tomorrow will they put on the Lot Film Cover LCD Clear Screen Protector on My Apple iPad Mini if i asked them to??? cause I Don't know how to do it, My House is Very Dusty yes even if i try to do it myself yeah i have to many Electronics in my house yes I Need Help, I Do have an Apple iPhone 5 64GB From Verizon Wireless should i try going there to if they can't help me at The Apple Store???
Sorry i'm being very Annoying to bother anyone here, i know you don't like it?

You know, it's ok to ask! If I was you, I'd try asking them at the Apple store or, if you got the iPad at the Verizon store, go there. It won't hurt to ask - just tell them you don't know how to do it and don't want to mess it up. It's a little difficult to do it right - I got that kind of thing for my Macbook Pro for the bottom where your hand rests and had a hard time putting it on. So, go ahead and ask. If they're too busy, read the instructions a couple of times and wait until you have plenty of time and are relaxed and try it yourself.
I know you can do it if necessary!

Do I need screen protector for iPad

Do I need a screen protector for iPad2? Have a zagg on my iPhone 4 but have lost some of the "touch" - don't want to do this to iPad

Screen Protector for iPad

So I just got an iPad and got a screen protector from Wal-Mart and the thing was horrible.
I was wondering what the best screen protector is, and if they are really needed? I have a Tarus hard case for it, and use the stylus pen for touching the screen.
Any suggestions would be great thanks

I tried a couple of different ones and found the one from Power Support interfered the least with viewing the screen (none of them had an adverse effect on touching the screen). But I will say that I noticed that with any screen protector on it the ipad got noticeably warmer than it did when it didn't have one, so I decided that possibly they were interfering with heat dissipation and removed it.
I certainly didn't find it necessary to 'protect' the screen while the ipad was in the apple case, but was looking for a way to cut glare. None of them were good enough at that to be worth leaving one on.

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.

Best screen protector for ipad 2?

I have an ipad 2 3G with ATT. I really want a screen protector but i dont know which one to get thats bubble free. Right now im leaning towards the zagg invisible sheild(Anyone with experience?) Also i want a front only because i have the speck pixelskin HD wrap.

I tried Zagg (it's all Best Buy sells) on my iPad2. Actually, I tried two times. The first time with the anti reflective screen protector. Hated it. It made pictures and words look like I was reading through something that slightly distorts the image. The second one I had installed was the crystal clear Zagg film. I didn't like it at all. The tactile feel is well, tacky and the liquid under the screen (required to get it to seat correctly) gives the screen a not really smooth look. So, I took it off and got my money back.
I currently don't have a screen protector on mine. I'm not sure I will use one. Instead, I have a full body case on mine that protects the front and back. Like someone above said, the only thing that will touch my screen is my finger and I've noticed that I've developed an odd little tick before I touch either my iPhone 4 or my iPad2. I tend to wipe my finger on either my shirt or pants to eliminate oil. I wasn't even aware I was doing this until someone pointed it out to me. It does help keep my screens very clean.....LOL
If I was going to put anything on my iPad2, it would from PowerSupport (www.powersupportusa.com). I do have their film on my iPhone, which was sold to me at the Apple Store and applied by Apple. It's static mount and after nearly a year of daily use, it looks as good as the day it was installed. I also had their film on my iPhone 3G.

How necessary are screen protectors for iPad?

I just got a new iPad and protected it by putting it in an Apple smart case. I'm debating installing a screen protector. How necessary are they? How easily does the iPad screen scratch? Is the smart case sufficient protection?

It all depends on how you use yoru device. Do you have kids that will play with it with grubby fingers? Use it outside? Use it in places where it can get scratched or nicked? then you might want one.
I put one on mine just because it's a 500 dollar device and I want to protect it and keep it in good shape. Others swear that the last thing they need is a screen protector.
All comes down to personal preference.
I would say, personally, the smart case may not be the most protective out there. But ultimately it comes down to you, how and where you use it.

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

Invisible Shield by Zagg has always been my preference.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Screen protector for TouchPad - yea or nay ?

If you use a screen protector for your TouchPad, please help the community (well, and me too!) by letting us know your experiences, in particular:
What brand?
Ease of application (and removal)...getting the bubbles out? Dust trapped?
Quality of the view (Glossy or matte finish? Does it minimize glare/reflection? Does it give off any distorted effects?)
Feel, and touch screen sensitivity issues?
Many thanks!

1. PhantomSkinz and some el-cheapo cling-type protector off eBay
2. Horrific application for the PhantomSkinz. I will never, ever buy another of their products that requires water to apply. The el-cheapo cling protector was MUCH easier to apply, but I could never get it 100% dust free under the protector. Every time I applied it, there was always dust underneath. So annoying.
I gave up on any screen protector for my TP.

Screen protector for Ipad2

Hello!
I´ll buy and Ipad2 in the next weeks. I´m planing some accesories for it, and have a question. Screen protector for Ipad1 fits on Ipad2? or I have to use an specific one?
Thx

Why would you glue a piece of plastic to your screen risking damaging it's treated surface? Plus, I've had iPhones and iPads for 3 years now and I have yet to scratch one of their screens, not being overly protective of them. The adhesive on many of these screen protectors can destroy the oleophobic surface, plus the responsiveness and the feel of the touch screen could be affected.

Ordered a Screen Protector for Retina

I've been using a ShaggyMac screen protector for my 13" MBA don't leave home without it. We now have a new Retina MBP and just got the 15" MBP Shaggy for it, they don't officially say for Retina as of yet, but it fits perfect. This will protect and clean the Retina display for a few years. Also installing a set of StrutsHD for added durablility...frequent landings and takeoffs.
Now gonna find a new messenger bag...

Personal choice. If you have small kids that use the iPad, you never know what they might drag across the screen. I added one because my grandkids use it.
 Cheers, Tom
