Poll: Do you use a screen protector on your IPad?

[Royksöpp]

Absolutely. I scratch screens, I don't know how but I just do. I use the plastic film ones though. They're easy to apply and remove if they ever get badly scratched. I've never used a glass protector in my life. I don't like how they look.

I never do initially but once the oleophobic layer wears off I have to use a tempered glass screen protector or else the screen gets too fingerprint-y. (Tempered glass protectors come with an oleophobic coating.) Apple Pencil works just as well.

No.

If I replace this 12.9" iPP, I might consider that next time. Not so much for the finger prints, but to just protect the glass. If the protector does not muck with my vision or the pencil, I think it may be practical going forward. I never needed a screen protector prior to this iPP.

No, because there's no need to.

No. But I have an Apple leather case on my Air 2 since day one. Had it for more than three years (since launch) and never scratched the screen. I generally hate screen protectors. I never had one on the 20+ mobile phones I ever had and have only broken one screen.

I don't have an iPad anymore but I do use tempered glass screen protectors on my 8 and 9.7 Samsung Tab S2s and I'm glad I do because 2 weeks ago in a single week I first dropped the 8 flat on concrete from about 4 1/2 feet. The screen protector cracked a little but that doesn't effect the performance at all, but if the screen had cracked (as I did on my old Google Nexus) it's kaput. And then a day or two later a heavy metal object fell right on the screen but luckily nothing happened. When I did have the iPad 2017 12.9 I had the flexible glass (how can glass be flexible anyway?) on it, and true enough I preferred it naked, but Apple wants $650 or so to fix those big screens!

2.

But why is there no poll in this poll?

 

[AVBeatMan]

Resurrecting this thread. iPad mini 5? Now that you can use the Apple Pencil with it, does this make it more prone to scratches?

 

[ssledoux]

Yes. I've put them on every device I own, and all the ones I've bought my grandkids.

I did just change my glass on my iPP to the anti-glare film (iCarez), since I'm now using it for my portable device vs main (I do a lot of writing on it). I LOVE how that film makes it feel like I'm writing on paper. It's awesome!

 

[Otflyer]

No.

Yes I have a tempered glass one. Unfortunately a tiny piece of dust got trapped underneath, but it's no big deal.
