Do You Use a Screen Protector When Editing Photos?

[kgphotos]

Hi all.

I just received my iPad Pro 12.9 with pencil. I was wondering if any of you use a screen protector when editing photos. If so, which ones do you recommend? My usage includes editing photos, note taking, drawing, movie editing. I don't want to scratch the iPad Pro screen so was thinking of getting a screen protector. On other threads here, members seem to like matte protectors, however then tend to take away some sharpness of the iPad screen. Should I go with a glass protector or one like this- a Tech Armor HD Clear Film Screen Protector:

Or just go without a screen protector?

Thanks for your advice!

I have been using an ipad pro form a few years now and dont use a screen protector. The keyboard cover protects it enough for me.

We’ve never had a screen protector on our iPads and they seem to hold up pretty well. One of them (original Air) does have a cracked screen, but that was due to heat build up from being left (by me) sitting on top of a running XboxOne, right over the fan exhaust. Otherwise, we’ve had no issues with the “unprotected” screens over the many years of iPad ownership. I guess it all depends on how careful you are with stuff.

Here's a chuckle for you. For a week now we have been wondering why the house is so cold and why the heating isn't coming on enough.

We have a wireless thermostat....

Yup, its been sat on top of a TV set top box which keeps it toasty and therefore the heating doesnt trigger.... doh!!!!

The iPad's glass screen is tough enough, so it should not be a problem using it without a screen protector. However, just like any type of glass, it's a good idea to remove the dust before moving a pen on its surface.

Thank you all for your answers! I'll go without a protector.

You sure you didn’t do it on purpose to reduce your bill? You know what they say about Scottish people!

LOL That's quite funny, Apple fanboy. Sounds like something my "redhead" wife would do to save some money

We’ve just had a new underfloor heating system fitted. Have a thermostat in every room. Anyway I read you could calibrate them. So I’ve ‘adjusted’ them all so they say it’s 3 degrees different to what it is!
Should help my Nikon camera fund!

That savings might already be spent.

I use mine for the same things. The only reason I saw a need for a protector was to make the screen matte, and less reflective so I could use it outside. But I don’t know if that would impact color fidelity. I do not use a protector right now.

We have the active thermostat thing and she has been messing with it again...
