I just installed my sgp crystal screen protector and clear body protection film so I will talk about both individually.
Screen protector
Install
I got this installed without a single air bubble. Make sure to install in a dust free room without any breeze. I did have some lint stuck under the protector but was able to get this out using a sticky sheet from a lint and pet hair roller. These work better than scotch tape because they are much bigger. Overall the install went smoothly and the fit is perfect. The cutout for the home button is a closer fit than my power support protector on my iPhone.
Performance.
I was worried I would get more finger prints with this protector than I was getting on the naked glass but the opposite is true. In fact, my favorite aspect of this protector is that I barely get any fingerprints. That being said it is slightly more difficult to get them off. I'm glad I went with the crystal over the antifinger print protector. There is also less glare making the iPad easier to use outside, but of course the af protector will be superior if reduced glare is what you are looking for.
The screen protector has a slighty plasticy feel and it almost feels like the screen is cushioned when typing. If sensitivity is diminished it is only slightly. My fingers glide easily over the protector. In fact, I have less trouble playing games like shuffle board now than I did when it was naked. This is likely the result of the fewer finger prints that can cause my finger to get caught up on the screen.
Clarity of the screen is the same as naked as far as I can tell. You cannot even tell the protector is on. Overall i am very pleased with the performance.
Clear body protection
I got the full body protection with the screen protector as a package. I only installed the pieces that cover the back of the iPad including the apple logo. There are pieces that cover the home button and bezel but I ran out of the spray adhesive before getting to these pieces.
Install
The install of the body protection is more difficult than the screen protector. The issue I had is when I was pushing out the extra fluid with the included tool the protector would stretch over the edges. I had to pull it up two times and reapply to get it centered each time using more adhesive. I finally got it on and it looked horrible. However, after 24 hours it looks much better. You can still see some creases when you look at it in an angle under light, but I can't feel them as they are very shallow. Given another chance I'm sure I could do a much better job. I would imagine that the protectors that are not clear would be easier to install as they will not stretch are you will not be able to see the imperfections.
Performance
The protector has a rubbery fell which gives a nice grip when holding with one hand. It is clear that there is no way to scratch the iPad through the film. It has been cold here lately and the edges of the iPad are freezing but the protector prevents the back from being cold to the touch. I just wish I did a better job on the install but overall I'm happy
Fit inside the apple case.
I have no problem getting the iPad in and out of the apple case. The edges of both protectors stay firmly planted. Overall, the protectors along with the aplle case provide excellent protection.
Recommendation.
I highly recommend the screen protector and would recommend it over the power support if the quality of the ps is identical to the iPhone version. This protector attracts less finger prints and has a higher quality feel.
I recommend that body protection but would suggest getting the carbon fiber or vinyl varieties over the clear. It is just too difficult to get in on perfectly. Although mine appears to be getting better by the hour so I will update if all the creeses work themselves out.
