 Horrible Screen Protector! Oct 08, 2010
By mjm2232
This is the worst screen protector I have ever seen. According to the description I thought "this sounds like a pretty good deal and it has alot of good qualities", but its not. You get what you pay for. The application is horrible (bubbles everywhere) and it is not cut to fit the iPad exactly. I would definitely not buy it again.

 Best Screen Protector! Jun 14, 2010
By musicalbelle
This is the third screen protector I have used and it is hands down the BEST I have used. I am sad that others have not had as much success with it, but please note:
***I did NOT use the enclosed applicator or even look for their own application instructions; I used my own method. I have added an installation section below to include a step-by-step on how I successfully applied this product!***
Pros:
*Remains bubble-free after installation
*All of the edges and corners have stayed perfectly attached (but I do have a silicone skin that comes ~1cm in so that could help)
*There is no "wavy" pattern once it has applied; the screen is entirely uniform.
*While nothing is truly fingerprint resistant, I have noticed hardly any fingerprints. Fingerprints, puppy hair, and dust come off VERY easily with the included cloth.
*Easy Installation with flawless result!
HOW TO INSTALL:
1) Make sure to have ALL of the following at the ready before you start:
* eyeglass lens cleaner & lens cloth
* credit card
* plastic ruler
2) ***Thoroughly clean the screen first using eyeglass lens cleaner and cloth to remove ALL dust and oil.***
3) DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC FILM COVERING THE STICKY SIDE ALL AT ONCE!!!! Peel away only enough of it to align and stick the bottom edge of the protector to the iPad. Be careful to make sure it is centered so that the cutout for the center button will lie in the correct place. As explained in the next step, only reveal the sticky part right before it is ready to be stuck down; the ruler pretty much did that automatically without me having to tug on the film).
4) Place the side of the plastic ruler parallel along/overtop the edge that you have just stuck down and slowly slide it up the rest of the screen, simultaneously slowly pulling the rest of the film off (make sure to put some pressure on the ruler while doing so, this will greatly minimize the bubbles you have to deal with later).
5) Use a credit card to smooth out any bubbles (it's next to impossible to remove bubbles just by hand). Do this by placing the edge of the credit card on the side of the bubble closest to the center of the screen. Press down and sweep the card/push the bubble to the outside of the screen until the protector is bubble-free.
***I had used this same method for the other two protectors I tried but this protector was by far the easiest to apply and the only one that stayed bubble-free, (practically) fingerprint-free, and with no wavy pattern. Additionally, with one of the other two failed protectors, using the credit card and ruler scratched the screen! This was not the case here at all.
Cons:
*Because of the anti-glare/anti-fingerprint quality, the screen looks slightly grainy, but is still perfectly legible and the screen is just as sensitive to touch as it is without a protector.
UPDATE: It's been over a year and my screen protector is still going strong. It does have some VERY faint scratches from puppy claws, travel, etc. These aren't bad and cannot be detected at all if the screen is turned on/lit up; only noticeable if the iPad is turned off and you are looking closely at it when the light is reflecting off it from just the right angle. I will be replacing the screen soon (with this exact same model, of course), however, because it had an unfortunate run-in with a pair of scissors and that scratch has bubbled up just a teeny bit (it's not bad at all and my screen is still untainted, but I'm type-A enough that the itty bitty bubble is annoying).
In terms of sizing: I have the original iPad and it fits perfectly, stopping just at the edge of the glass before the metal, fitting perfectly around the bottom center button. I do not know how compatible it would be with the iPad 2 in terms of size.

Way too many bubbles Jul 06, 2010
By L. Coleman
"Book Lover"
I followed the instructions carefully and took my time and still ended up with a lot of bubbles. I even used the applicator that was provided to squeeze them out with little success. This particular protector is a bubble magnet. It's like air automatically seeps in no matter how careful you are plus the applicator does little to get them out. I even tried smoothing with just my hand. I have been able to apply protectors to cell phones without this much trouble. I'm going to try a different brand because this protector is horrible.

This is NOT anti-glare! Aug 03, 2010
By M. Cannon
"iTexan"
This screen protector is not anti-glare at all. That's just false advertising! If it didn't cost more to return ship it than keep it, I would return it. What a rip off! The product description is just plain false.

Not Anti Reflective Jul 08, 2010
By Mick4ada
"Mick"
While the packaging says it is an anti reflective/anti glare iPad protector it is no less reflective than the iPad screen itself. Very disappointing. Total rip off if you are looking for an anti glare solution for your iPad. Although I'm sure it will function adequately as a general screen protector. Easy application and few bubbles. But that doesn't really matter because I bought it for the anti reflective properties.
