Can't see iPad screen with sunglasses on

[tl01]

My sunglasses are polarized which makes it hard to see the screen when I'm outside unless I hold my head at a strange angle. Besides getting a spare pair of non-polarized glasses, is there any other solution? A screen protector etc?

What is the difference in the screen on the iPad vs my iPhone... My iPhone does not suffer the same issue.

A screen protector will not change the polarity of the screen. Unfortunately, you're better off getting a second pair of sunglasses.

Turn it to landscape mode, you'll be able to see it then.

So what you're saying is...um...he's holding it wrong.

Good idea for when I don't have my special iPad sunglasses with me!

Same problem

I have polarized prescription lens. I turn up the brightness. It worked well on the beach in Aruba. Just remember to turn the light down later to save on the battery.

Out of curiosity, white or black iPad?

Yeah this happens to me as well. I'll try landscape mode next time but I could have sworn I tried that already.

There's a difference?

No of course there isn't. Lots of trolls on here today.

A screen protector can in fact fix this. Try the Power support anti glare film. I had that one on my old phone, and I believe it did not maintain the screens polarization.

Try rebooting your sunglasses or check preferences........

I just bricked my sunglasses doing that.

tilting to landscape should help. sunglasses only let vertical light pass thru. if you title your head you can see better to but looks strange. the polarized glasses are to reduce glare off of horizontal surfaces like a lake.

Take off the sunglasses homie. Just take em off.

You need to jailbreak your sunglasses so you can control them better. Instead of Ultrasnow, use ultrahail.

If its too sunny for your eyes, it's too sunny for your iPad.

I would but I just upgraded to the latest firmware.

did I just click into a Kindle ad??

 

[unibility]

why in the world would you wear sunglasses.

 

[WILLDOGS]

Do you sunglasses have a yellow tint?

 

[Sounds Good]

Wearing the sunglasses upside down will reverse the polarity.

Yeah, we are all posting to a technology website - the being cool ship has sailed

Try reversing black/white under accessibility.
