Any recommendations for a good screen protector for my iPad mini?

I would say any brand should be fine. I got the Zagg brand from Best Buy for mine.

Big variations in screen protectors-- by type, quality, adhesive, brand, and price.

Ant-glare, often rainbow effects or slight distortions.

Crysal clear, often some glare but text excellent..

Sticky, cling, spray on, etc... different methods of attachment; some more prone to bubbles than others, some easier to install than others.

Many say that Power Support is the best; in my experience, they are quite good, albeit $$. Their customer service is excellent. I use a Crystal Clear on my iPad and iPhone--superb, not aware they're on save for imperfect adhesion in one corner; the anti-glare produced noticeable degradation in image, as many do, and I took it off.

Joy Factory supposed to be good; they provide 2 in a package. I have a pack for an iPad 2 that I haven't used.

Mixed reviews on many; some swear by Zagg, others swear at it.

You do get what you pay for; at least, don't go too cheap on this!

Having said all that, I, too, would be interested in hearing from people who have gotten protectors for their iPad minis! Things may vary in the smaller size; there could be a newcomer on the block; some cheap import may have become acceptable or even good.

The best screen protector for the iPad Mini is the Obliq Anti Shock Screen Protector. It offers military grade protection by using 5 ultra thin layers.

The Tech Armor does the trick for me. It's cheap and it protects the screen without me even noticing that it's on there!

I agree 100% with saturn and lance on Tech Armor. I'm the one who made the long post above about options and even pitched the old "you get what you pay for" line. No longer true. I tried TA several months back--it was too cheap to pass up--and discovered they're really good.

Unlike the others, you get several protectors (3) for a low price--meaning if you mess up the installation, you have plenty to fall back on. There are installation videos and a pamphlet that explain what to do quite well. These are non-spray protectors--key is doing it in a dust-free place. I've found the bathroom floor woks well--a couple of hours after a shower. Many recommend doing it right after a shower--that's unwise as the humidity can damage your I-device.

In any event, go for the crystal clear ones; no rainbow effects.

Tempered glass screen protectors are really the way to go. They feel like the actual glass so there isn't any compromise. I use the Tech Armor Ballistic.
