iPad 2 Anti-glare?

I went to the apple store one day asking about anti-glare screen protectors. As I'm already aware apple doesn't sell any screen protectors for iPad or iPad 2. But one of the employees told me that the anti-glare ones are very useful but I would have to do some research to find out which one would work best. I need suggestions and I will disregard anything that has to do with zagg or invisible shield. And anyone who has a used a great shield protector please tell me how they work.

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.1

My wife has an anti-glare screen protector purchased from handhelditems.com for about $7 plus shipping (less than $3) and an Apple polyurethane Smartcover.

I wipe the anti-glare surface occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth to remove built-up smudges. The Smartcover does leave long smudges (actually cleaner spots where the folds rub the anti-glare screen protector. We purchased the anti-glare screen protector at the same time as the iPad and installed it as soon as the iPad arrived, so the surface has always been protected. Other than a couple of dust specks under the surface that I caused by attempting to re-position the anti-glare screen protector on initial installation, the anti-glare screen has worked flawlessly and remains adhered perfectly, almost six months later.

I have the Moshi AG screen protector. Easy to put on and has only limited impact on clarity. But I am not impressed with the AG aspect, not very effective.
