Do not buy Apple iPad Invisible Shield by Zagg. I bought at Best Buy and was told that "the store expert" would install for me to my full satisfaction for $15.00. I had already paid, taxes included, $37.44 for a piece of plastic film but given the reviews I though it may indeed give me a better, non-glare picture. This is what I got:
1. It took me well over one hour to prepare a totally dust-free are, clean the ipad screen meticulously, clean my hands to perfection with soap and water and alcohol.
2. Peeled off the film, wet it on both sides with the provided solution, position the film perfectly over the area.
3. Squeegeed out the liquid and air bobbles to perfection and clean and put away supplies.
Total about 1 1/2 hours.
Twenty hours later, all excited, took out the ipad, cleaned the new skin, turned on and ... oh boy1 what a turkey!
In stead of the beautiful, very sharp screen I have indeed a fairly glare free, scratch-resistant surface that was EXTREMELY GRAINY AND UNPLEASANT TO LOOK AT. I asked my mate to compare it with her iPad 1 screen and she agreed. She said it was very unpleasant to read with, grainy and far less sharp that the native iPad shinny screen.
If you buy this less than desirable film you may pay a lot of money for something that maybe costs a few cents to manufacture, go through a lot of work to properly put it on and wait for it to cure and end up with a really crummy-looking and optically grainy and unsharp screen.
This was my experience. I think that either someone is getting paid to give or present overblown evaluations of this product or something is wrong with my eyes as well as those of my mate.
Just trying to save you the expense and aggravation I went through. I wish I could get my money back but few companies are responsive to fully dissatisfied customers. Good luck guys.
