Screen protector covers Ipad microphone

I have had people telling over the past two years that they could not hear me well while using skype on my Ipad. I finally decided to investigate ... :-)


I discovered that the microphone is next to the front camera on my Ipad 2. Well, guess what? The screen protector is covering it!! I did a skype call test before and after poking a hole in my screen protector with a pin after lifting the screen protector, and pushing upwards away from the Ipad. There was a STARK difference. Problem solved!


I have since looked at all other screen protectors and all do not provide a hole for the microphone!!!


Anyone else had this problem? This is likely to solve your problem. I think we need to contact screen protector manufacturers and let them know...
