Which screen protector are you getting for your iPad2 and why?
 
getting an IS but at least at first, only putting it on the back. The glass is tough and i'll have a smart cover. but I don't want the back getting scratched.
 
Power Support has always been the best.

Don't fall for the numerous Zagg boosting posts here -- most are employees seeded to boost sales.
 
I have ghost armor on my iPad and iPhone and find it an excellent product. They had a kiosk outside of my local apple store and they quickly applied the protector.

Can someone explain what's actually BAD about the invisible shield vs other companies products?

I've seen people say that they don't like the texture/resistance. and some say they don't like the orange peel look in reflections, but that's it. I've never heard anyone say it didn't work. they just say Zagg sucks, BSE is the greatest or zagg sucks xyz company is the greatest. without giving reasons.

I can understand if it's just coming down to preference in materials/textures, etc but when it comes to overall protection? what's bad about zagg?

Has anyone tried their anti glare product? Is it any good? Is there any other or better anti glare products out there for ipad 1 and 2? One of my biggest problems with the ipad is how unusable it is in outdoor settings. A devise this portable and that can be used for reading books needs to work in the outdoors.

Zagg products IMHO have a subpar fit, a tacky orange peel texture and cloud the display.

Of course putting a thick rubbery film on the screen will protect your touch device; however, it makes using it a complete nightmare! The "tackiness" of the film does not allow for smooth control... your finger sticks and smudges instead of gliding effortlessly. The orange peel texture and milky clarity also downgrade visuals dramatically. Colors are muted and sharpness is decreased. I had a Zagg kit on my first gen iPad for a week... I gave it time to let out the air bubbles and cure... but it was a complete mess IMHO. I could never recommend the products.

Do you think it has the same drawbacks when used exclusively as a back protector (as that's going to be my main use)?

I had the Power Support Anti Glare for my iPad 1 for a year and it worked great. Very nice quality screen protector that took away the annoying glare in bright light. I plan on getting the same for my iPad 2. I highly recommend it or really any of their screen protectors. There is a reason this was really the main brand that used to be sold in the Apple Store :D .
 
Is anyone familiar with Agent18? I have the case and screen protector for my iPod. I was wondering what else has a similar feel and quality like that protector...
 
I'll have to go with PowerSupport Anti-Glare. I have it on the iPhone 4 and it's great.

I had Invisible Shield on my Zune HD, iPod Touch and iPhone 4 before, hated the feeling and how it isn't smooth at all.
 
Which one do you guys feel has the closest feel to the original screen without leaving a lot of fingerprints?
