This is more of a statement than a question, but until Apple sells an iPad with a sapphire display, I'll be using a screen protector. Screen protectors negate the anti-reflective coating, leaving you with a screen that is just less bright and less power efficient than the previous generation. Pretty lame, huh? (There's my question!)
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8.1
Educate yourself a bit before you attempt to answer for the general public.

I see you're a Steelers fan, so you're probably not the sharpest tool in the shed, but see if you can read the entire page. The only drastic improvement over the iPad Air display is the anti-reflective coating.
Er, uh..."Wow!" 😉
I have never used a screen protector on any of my devices and I'm pretty rough with them.
My opinion, screen protectors are snake oil. They're not needed and cause more problems than they purport to solve. Personally, I really like the new anti-reflective screen on my new iPad. It makes it much more useful in more places than before.
Did you actually test out that there was more reflectance after putting on a screen protector? (Not plastic ones but tempered glass)
If it does make the anti-reflective coating useless, I probably won't use any screen protectors.
I applied a Zagg HD Invisishield. It is definitely far more reflective with it on. Does anyone know how the anti-reflective coating is applied? Removing the screen protector at this point may damage the coating...😐
Hi kapazza,
The anti-reflective coating is not easily removed as it is not painted or sprayed onto the glass. As screen protectors do not use any adhesive substance, removing it will definitely not affect the anti-reflective coating.
Thank you for sharing, but I'm pretty sure that nobody here really cares. Actually, your entire post seems pretty lame to me. Less power efficient? Wow!
Buy an anti-reflective screen protector.
So what is your point? NM. I will not stoop to slinging insults at you. If it makes you feel superior, have it.
The iPad Air 2 anti-reflective coating is useless with a screen protector.
