iPad screen protector

To my surprise it was really simple, just start at the one end, line it up over the home button and work away squeezing out the very few bubbles as you go. I speak as a man who is not allowed to go anywhere near Christmas present wrapping duties or wallpapering due to my inability to make anything look neat.

Each to their own, it was not a scratch issue but general finger marking that made me decide to apply a screen protector, in some situations it became virtually impossible to see what was on the screen.

Again my personal opinion, but I have not found the protector has any detrimental effect on responsiveness of the screen or any adverse effect on the apparent sharpness of my images.

Whilst in the short term I would expect the iPad to stand up to heavy use without marking but long term the general grease/perspiration that may be transferred from finger tips could affect even a glass screen.

From being the sole user to the comments or ' waste of money ' the iPad has become the most sought out item when family members want to check mail, play a few games etc or generally surf the net, some of our home computers which were in daily use now sometimes go days without being switched on, such is the versility of the iPad.

If there's any grease on your finger, and nature sees to it that their usually is, to get a small smur on the screen is perfectly normal. what's the problem with that. Wipe it on your sleeve now and then if it worries you, or hold it so that the reflected light doesn't show the marks. It really is not a problem.

Apple will neither confirm nor deny, but rumor is that Apple probably uses Corning's Gorilla Glass for the screen. It's a type of glass that's stronger than steel, which is probably why Apple claims their screens won't scratch under normal use. As for fingerprints, I've found that with the screen on, they're invisible. Besides, I wipe my screen off once per day anyway--I don't think that's too much trouble--so it's not like fingerprints are building up to the point where they obscure the screen.
