I just got a new iPad Pro 12.9. Nice device but I have never seen a screen that is such a fingerprint magnet. I have been going back and forth on whether to get a screen protector for it and while looking around, I found removable paperlike screen protectors. The one I got works fine, but it really reduces the clarity of the screen. I ended up with this one:


It had good reviews. I was wondering if anyone knew of a removable screen protector that isn’t paperlike. The only ones I have found are privacy guard screen protectors and the main complaints about them seem to be reduction in screen clarity.

A removable one is best for me because I can take it off and clean the screen I know that I suck at screen protectors and that if I try to put a glass or film one on, I will not be able to get rid of all of the dust. My old 2nd gen pro has a glass screen protector on it. I had Best Buy put it on and they did a completely crap job. Tons of dust.

Always use screen protectors on my phone but have never used a protector on any of my iPads. No screen issues during trade-in, but I do keep it in a case that covers the screen when not in use.

I am not concerned with screen issues. I just don’t like how this screen seems to attract fingerprints. Of all of the iPads I have had, this one is the worst for fingerprints.
