Screen protector question Ipad2

Will a screen protector made for first gen Ipad fit on the new Ipad 2? looks like the size is the same.

The reported screen size and resolution appears to be the same, but there could be a few millimeters of difference in the two models that might not allow a perfect fit.
I plan to wait until the suppliers come out with a definitive answer before I get one because I am not that handy with an Exacto knife and my blood could stain my pretty white iPad 2.

  • 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.

  • 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

    No.

  • Question about iPad2 screen protector

    I got a Great Shield screen protector for my new iPad. It was super easy to install and looks great. But when I saw it online, it had two holes at the top, one for the camera and one for the light meter (I think that's what it is, the tiny circle above the camera). The shield that I received  and installed just had a hole for the camera, so the protector covers the littler hole. Is this a problem? The camera seems to be working fine, but I'm a bit concerned that it wasn't just as I saw it. Thanks - I'd appreciate hearing anyone's comments.

    No it won't harm your iPad, but it might cause picture distortion on the edges of the photos. If your pictures look fine then you are OK.

  • Question about screen protector (ipad2)

    Hi,
    I just applied a screen protector on my iPad 2 and I've noticed that it isn't 100% straight:
    The front camera doesn't sit exactly in the protector's hole.
    Actually, the hole in the protector kind of sits in the center of the camera.
    It doesn't disturb the images, but is it can do harm to the camera in some way?
    Thanks :)

  • IPad2 screen protector needed

    My device is scheduled to arrive at the end of the month and I need a screen protector. I am not that concerned about marks on the back of the unit.
    Apple stores do not sell these.
    I have one on my iPhone and it has been invaluable.
    Has anyone located a quality, easy to install screen protector for the iPad2?

    I have my Zagg Invisible Shield full body waiting for my iPod 2 to arrive. They are not simple to install by yourself but I have them on my phones too and have practice installing them but if you go to a retailer you can have one professionally installed for a fee. Its well worth it.

  • A question about a screen protector

    So one of the screen protectors for the Ipod Nano says, "Smooth, non-sticky surface with patented layer of UV protection to prevent "yellowing"" What does it mean by yellowing? Is the ipod screen kept from yellowing, or the screen protector itself?

  • Case Question -- iSkin Solo FX Mirrored Screen Protector

    I'm considering the iSkin solo FX case for my new iPhone (http://www.iskin.com/solo/). It comes with a mirrored screen protector. I'm assuming the mirrored faceplate is like a two-way mirror, allowing light to emit from behind. Anybody tried this case? Does the mirrored face cut down on the brightness of the iPhone's screen?

    The case is real cool ( i have the burnt orange one.) Real sleek, and grips nicely on hard surfaces. 2 BUTS: the mirror face always looks grimy, because it shows every single fingerprint, (especially if you have lotion on your hand or face.) And some dirt accumulates along the side edges. But the look is nice (definitely a two-way mirror effect) and only cuts down on the brightness of the screen about 5%.

  • Question about the SGP Oleophobic screen protector

    I just ordered one of the SGP Ultra Oleophobic protectors and was curious about their longevity. I never used a screen protector on my 3g and never had a scratch, but after some of the horror stories I've heard, I decided to put one on my iP4. Anyway, I don't have much a frame of reference as to how long these things last. Should I expect to buy a set twice a year/every two months? What has been your experience?

    Resolved. Went to Genius Bar this morning to discuss yellow-screen issue.
    The Genius looked at my iPhone (which is yellow), looked at my girlfriend's iPhone (which is okay). Brought both iPhones to the back office, came back within minutes, and said "compared both to my iPhone yours (the yellow one) obviously looks more yellow. I will compare yours with other display iPhone models, and we will give you a replacement if we still find yours too yellow."
    So he brings me and goes to in-store display iPhones, and compares. Mine looks obviously more tinted and looks worn out. He admits my screen is defective, and goes on to give me a new replacement phone. Screen looks awesome, and it works very good.
    My original phone (yellow one) serial number started with 868. My gf's iPhone starts with 888. And my new replacement iPhone starts with 878.
    Now this is just my thoughts, but if other yellow phones are also serial batch 868, I believe it is the defective batch. Maybe not, but it is possible.

  • Screen protector, or not?  That is the question...

    Now that the iPad has been out for over a month, I'm curious as to how many users have and recommend screen protection.
    I'd also like to hear from those who don't have it and find it unnecessary.
    I read some reviews about a Zagg screen protector. Some reviewers swore by it. Others swore at it because they found it difficult to install. A couple users even ended up making the $30 item unusable during the install process.
    Thanks.

    I don't think it is necessary. There are YouTube videos showing how scratch resistant the glass is on these and iPhones. Car keys are too "soft" a metal to scratch the optical quality screen. Unless you are going to be scraping the screen with some high-carbon steel tools from your garage, or etching it with a diamond, I wouldn't worry about it. I have had my iPad since day one, as well as an iPhone for 3 years. I am an airline employee, and travel constantly. With my unprotected screens going through security constantly, non-stop on-the-road use, I have never had the slightest blemish to any of my screens. There is an entire economy based on the screen protector myth, to get you to spend $20 to $40 for a piece of plastic film.
    Not only are they unnecessary, but they degrade the image quality from the screen. The simple physics of optics and light. Additionally, search for "screen protector" at the Apple Store and you will see you wont find any. You might find one anti-glare film, but no screen protectors for the phones or iPads. That is because Apple didn't like the implication that their product needed protecting, when in-fact it didn't.

  • Odd question: Does 2nd gen touch come with a screen protector?

    Mine seems to have a screen protector-like film stuck quite firmly on to my Touch.
    One can tell especially near the button at the bottom where the film is detaching just a little bit (a few mm). I feel tempted to start pulling it off (and maybe applying a new protector that I can purchase. But I'm afraid that I'll mess up some sort of original equipment on the Touch.
    Am I losing my mind?
    Aloke

    It is stuck so well that it feels like a screen protector, not like those flimsy protectors that come on electronic devices. It has a glossy look that attracts fingerprints.
    So, to confirm: the iPod Touch 2nd gen comes with nothing on its surface.. just a slab of glass?

  • I am having the hardest time with the screen protectors! HELP ME|!

    So I bought the Anti-Glare screen protector from the Apple Store fir my iPhone. The first time I out it on, it looked good, but when I really looked at it, it was crooked around the Home button which looked really stupid, so I took it off with some tape and repositioned the protector, but yet again, can not get it straight, but worse of all, because my house is filled with flying dust, the back of the protector is filled with dust and lint and smudges, so now I cannot use the first one, so i open the other and what happens? THE SAME THING!!! So I have 2 questions.
    1. What am I doing wrong, what is the best way to put these on? Should I take the protector off just a bit and place it on the phone and then let it fall into place? Or take it off completely and then place it and hope I get it straight the first time?
    2. I am going to buy some new protectors (Same brand and everything), but I am wondering, would the Apple store give me an exchange despite the fact I did this to the protectors? Has anyone done that before?
    Thanks!

    It took me THREE OF THE THINGS before I get one of them on -- luckily, once on, it has never had to come off, and that has been since July.
    I ended up putting a small piece of scotch tape at the bottom right corner, which helps you lift it up and reposition without having to lift it too far that desk lint and things get on it again.
    I actually got so fed up after the first two, when I went back to get the second package of them (since there are only two of them per pack) that the "Genius" assisting me said he was a pro and would put it on for me. After the "Genius" had himself used up two of the protectors and it still looked awful, he just gave me another pack and wished me well.
    The third one was the charm though, and it has worked perfectly ever since.

  • Screen protector or not??

    Good day all. I just purchased my iPad and see that Apple is not offering screen protectors anymore. my questions are:
    1: Are people using them and if so which one are you using?
    2: By using a screen protector against Apple's wishes are we voiding the warranty if there are screen issues?
    I look forward to your answers.

    *Regarding #1:*
    Some people are using them, but NOT to actually protect their screen. For example, the anti-glare protectors are nice not only for their anti-glare feature, but also because they are slightly 'rougher' to the touch, giving a nice tactile feel as you slide your finger across the screen. Also, they make fingerprints less noticeable. So oddly enough, the best feature of anti-glare protectors is neither anti-glare nor protection.
    Unlike an iPod or iPhone that lives in your pocket with keys and coins and whatever else, the iPad is more like a laptop. Do you put a screen protector on your laptop?
    *Regarding #2:*
    No. Absolutely not.
    They probably just don't want people to form the impression that screen protectors are necessary so they yanked them from the store. That's my just speculation though.
    *Other comments:*
    A lot of people claim they don't need screen protectors even for their iphones. They say that their screen has never been scratched. They might be right in most cases... but i personally scratched my last iPhone screen. Besides, like I said above, I like the feel of the rough anti-glare surface.
    Also, some people have said that video quality is reduced with these anti-glare protectors. I agree with that. It adds a bit of a shimmer to the video. Personally I don't mind, but that's just me.
    Hope that is helpful.

  • 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.
