Looks great and works great.
Remove your iPad protector case first, if you have one, since this goes all the way to the screen edge and will be fitting under the edge wrap of your case.
A hint: consider the first sheet for cleaning the dust off your screen, as the microfiber cloth does not cut it. Pull it off right away (without removing the stiff facing), then use the second one as the final step. Perfect with no dust, minor bubbles work out. Align from bottom to top, smoothing as you go.
Learned from applying the screen protector for my iPhone that you need a sticky pickup for any stray dust particles. The one I got for my iPhone had a sticky cleaner sheet, but this one does not. But, at the price, it was cheaper than the one I got at the Apple Store for my iPhone and once you have a clean install, you really do not need a spare. It will last and last.

I have had many anti glare covers and these are just as good as all of them. It’s very similar to painting a car, prep is the most important step. Make sure you do your prep of putting this protector after taking a shower (so there is not dust in the air), clean the screen really well (mircofiber cloths and condense air), and slowly apply from bottom up. Worked perfect on first try!

It was pretty simple to put on and left few bubbles. I only had one major bubble but since I have a case, it is barely noticeable. Make sure your screen is clean and free of any dust, which is why that one bubble is there. It comes with a card to take out the bubbles and the wiper to clean the screen

Pros: Protects screen as you’d expect; feels much better than glass when tapping and swiping.
Cons: Images don’t look quite as crisp or bright thru an anti-glare surface; while the film doesn’t show fingerprints as much as the glass, it may be slightly more difficult to clean that the glass alone.
Bottom line: For me the pros outweigh the cons. This screen protector is great at a fraction of the price of other covers. I notice no difference between this protector and the Power Support film that I have on my iPhone. The real difficulty with any cover like this is in the application. Here are my tricks for making the application easy.
Hints: There is no cause to scrap a film because you get dust on it. You can peel up the cover, remove the dust and continue. Any application (unless you have a cleanroom handy) will have some dust trapped under the film. You can get a perfect application by removing the dust as soon as you find it. The secret ingredient is: scotch tape.
1) Clean screen with micro fiber cloth.
2) Carefully apply antiglare film while making sure that it is straight and centered before bothering with the dust and bubbles.
3) Use a piece of tape to lift up the film and another piece to pick up each piece of dust that causes a bubble. Touching the screen or film with the tape won’t cause any harm, so you use the tape like a lint roller.
4) Chase out all bubbles (you’ll find more dust in this step).
5) Repeat 3 and 4 until all dust is removed and your have a perfectly clear application.
While this process is tedious, it works and provides beautiful results.

Is this the best screen protector out there? No, probably not. But for the price it really is unbeatable. It comes with a cleaning cloth and an applicator card, something I didn’t get with a more expensive protector that didn’t go on well at all. It’s not set up quite as well for removing the front and back cover sheets, but hey it’s a fraction of screen protectors that are better in this area, and didn’t come with any aids for actually applying the protector.
No, it’s not anti glare but it is less reflective than the bare screen. No, it’s not going to prevent finger smudges but it stays cleaner than the unprotected iPad. Since I use a case that doesn’t cover the front panel it is much better than an unprotected iPad screen. Again, it’s also better than a much more expensive protector I received.
The iPad is a lot of screen to cover. Dust is death– the smallest particle will leave a bubble. The trick is to apply the protector in an area where there is little air movement, clean and check the screen well for dust, then apply the screen protector QUICKLY. Air bubbles don’t matter, they can be squeezed out. The more time the sticky part of the protector is exposed the more likely that dust will attach itself to the sheet. Putting the sheet on quickly means less time for dust to crop up. If you lift the sheet to reposition it, or to try and clear an air bubble I can almost guarantee you will get dust and you won’t like the result.

The screen protectors were very high quality and fit great. The problem I had was that I couldn’t eleminate the dust particles from my iPad screen and it resulted in tiny bubbles. The product is a really, really well made, but you have to be very careful when installing it so that there is no dust. It is much harder than the same style iPhone screen protector due to the larger size. I would recommend this screen protector, but buy extra so you have more chances to get it on right.

Got this quickly in the mail.Comes in 2 individual packages. Figure to have two just in case I have problem installing. Turn out it is very easy. Just wipe the screen clean first. I ended up with 1 dust/lint on the lower corner otherwise bubble free.
Likes:
1. Price can’t be beat.
2. Clear and good material. Not anti- glare if that is what you are looking for. Fits very well and doesn’t attract dust.
3. Easy to apply.
Really nothing to dislike. Around the edge it might not “stick” as well. I have silicon case so that is covered. I really like the protection it offer. I wouldn’t risk leaving my iPad without screen protection. Definitely a good buy!

A+ quality, totally anti-glare for what is expected. The screen protector comes sandwiched between two shiny plastics which act as shrink wrap to protect the film screen from any air contamination. Upon reading other reviews i suspect that the cause of some failed attempts of application was by mistakenly not knowing which of the three pieces is the actual film screen. It is anti-glare for it blurs the mirror-like quality of the bare iPad screen. Of coarse you can still see the outline of your head like a silhouette but facial features such as eyes, nose and mouth dissolves by the blurring. This product works great and the application of any other screen protectors should be just as troubling, and the expensive ones are rip offs! I prepared the application of mine by wiping down the iPad with a sheet of monitor wipe, and to make sure that all lint is removed I held the wiped clean iPad next to a lightbulb to see that all particles are removed before peeling and pressing the film. Couldn’t be more satisfied and the film screen looks durable to last.

Before I bought this product I read all of the reviews. One of the main problems tha people had was that it wasn’t anti glare. I was happy about that glitch because I have had anti glare screen protectors for my iPod touch and it made the lightning on the screen very dull. So that really isn’t a problem. The next problem I read about was the bubble issue. If you have the patience, you can do it. Here are the steps to succeeding the instalation of the screen protector without bubbles.
1) make sure all dust and dirt is wiped off the iPad
2) align the home button in the protector with the home button
3) SLOWLY from bottom to top, push your hand along the protector while setting down the protector SLOWLY (I do stress slowly) and rub out all air bubbles as they pop up in the screen
4) after the screen is placed on, there may be a few 1-3 bubbles left, so just rub them out to the sides
5) TADAH your screen should be clear and bubble free!
If you have a bubble that won’t go away and you see a little dot in the middle, that means you forgot to wipe off, (or it snuck in), a piece of dust. This is why it is very important to clean the screen first.
Even if you do come across this problem, when the backlight of the iPad turns on, the bubbles are 100% unotacible!
I checked out a few screen protectors and I recomend this one over all of them!

My initial purchase was wrong for this product (iPad protector sheet) it was too small and I wrote on the amazon review space that I had received the wrong item but I wasn’t planning on returning it cause the item itself was not that expensive and shipping would be half its cost. Well SF Planet read the review and wrote me directly and I gave them the item SKU number and within a week they resent me the correct size. I was very pleased with the excellent customer service I received. It’s nice to see that what I wrote was read and that it mattered to the business owner. Thank you!!! Now the tricky part is getting it to adhere without dust and other particles . . . OMG the iPhone was a pain.
