I was leaning towards the Zagg, but i really dont like the orange peel effect it has. So i researched. After researching and reading reviews, I decided to go with SGP. I am so glad I did. You can't even tell a screen protector is on the iPad. It looks beautiful.


I also put the SGP skin on the back. One corner started to peel. Probably the way I was putting it in the sleeve. Anyway, I contacted SGP and the sent me a new skin for just the shipping cost of $7.50 even though I bought from amazon.com and not directly from them which excluded me from warranty coverage. Great customer Service !

Personally I am not going to put anything on my screen - the only thing touching it will be my fingers, when I want to transport my iPad it will be safe in a neoprene sleeve. I have put a Case Mate Gelli cover on the back to protect from scratches when I put it down on the desk, they are a bargain on Amazon right now (for the iPad, dunno about iPad 2).

Just my 2 cents again: Brando seems not very well known in the Apple world, but you should give it a try (Shop.brando.com). Their screen protectors (they sell them for a wide variety of devices) are very good and I always managed to eliminate all the bubbles (if any) quite quickly.

When applied, the iPAD looks and feels as it has no protector (except for the few dust particles remaining between the screen and the SP).

The SP is removable (washable and reusable, althought I'll probably never reuse a SP).

I've used Brando for all my devices till now: PDA, GSM, Smartphones, etc. Always been satisfied.

The Power Support ones looks also quite good, but I never used one.

i found it by searching on thier website one of the links for the ipad 2 screen protector is-

http://www.clearprotector.com/apple-ipad-2-screen-protector-pre-order-only-ships -3-12-11.html


Anyone know if this goes on with a spray like the zagg or does it just have a sticky side which you stick on the ipad. Do they sell it in any large retail stores such as bestbuy?

At the very top of their site is a link to a video for applying the screen protector. It says to apply soapy water to the contact side of the protector. It also says to avoid touching that side of the protector before appying the water.


What is does not say is whether there is a kit with the protector or if you must supply your own soapy water.


Since this one claims to be thinner and to not discolor I have ordered one. I still have the spray that came with my BodyGuardz back protector, which I shall use if nothing comes with this one. I want to compare the two. I really like the protection that the BodyGuardz has given the back of my iPad, but I look forward to the ClearProtector being a tad bit thinner.

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.
