I m kind of the iCarez choir here, as for the past year plus they are the only screen protectors I will purchase and use. Watch the YouTube video instructions in addition to reading the included directions.ĥ iCarez is the only screen protector brand I use. And then from there, line everything up perfectly and just be extremely slow and careful. Use a lot of light so you can actually see if there are any fine dust particles on the display.
There were some bubbles after installation, I couldn't rub them all out at the time, but after about 6 hours, all the small leftover bubbles had disappeared on their own.For all those having issues installing this screen protector, you have to make sure your display is pristine, 100% clean and free of dust. I just installed this anti-glare screen protector on my new 12.9" iPad Pro. I m sticking with my one-star review.ġ Excellent, I'm very satisfied with the results As for drawing with the pencil, it didn t make as big a difference as I d thought. When I finally took it off I felt relieved to once again get the fantastic display quality back on the iPad.
In short, if you love the crisp resolution of your iPad Pro, don t waste your money on this.This is a brief update - I decided to leave it on for another couple weeks to see if I got used to it. But it s just not worth the reduction in clarity.
The grainy nature of the protector is doubly noticeable when scrolling.The only nice thing about the matte finish is that it provides good tooth if using an Apple Pencil. It reduces the spectacular Retina display to resemble and old TV. The reason I ve removed it and thrown it out is that it makes the display look terrible.
It took some time to work out the bubbles and remove errant dust. Unlike many of the reviewers, I didn t find this protector particularly difficult to install. I ll update when I find out what the long term durability is. I spent a few days without a matte screen protector for comparison, and I vastly prefer a useable, toothy, surface with minor diffusion over a sharp screen on which the Pencil slides like wet ice on wet ice.YOU SAID YOU INSTALLED IT WITHOUT BUBBLES OR DIRT, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS, FIBBLIBBY McFIBBERLOONSIn the package you get two screen protectors, rubber bands to help you place it on the iPad, tabs to aid in placement, a tab to remove the protective film on the screen protector (protectorception! *bass note*) tabs to lift the protector again for cleaning, a tape to pick up debris.It helps a LOT to watch the installation video on YouTube there are a number of stickers whose purpose won t be completely clear unless you watch the vid.Make sure your work area is wiped down, your hands are clean, and you re working in good light.As you lay the protector down on the iPad screen, you ll see some bubbles are bubbles, and some are bits of dust, debris, or hair.Use the tape for lifting the corner of the protector, peel back to the dirt, then use the dirt-lifting tape to gently dab the debris away from the screen or protector, and lay the protector down again.It might take you numerous repetitions of this process to get a completely clean covering, but if it s doable in the land of grit and pet hair, it s probably doable most indoor places.Five stars for right now, because I got everything I needed to do the job, and I like the results. But don t go!The protector itself does -slightly- diffuse the crisp screen resolution of the iPad Pro, but I found the trade-off in making the screen a bit grippier for the Pencil to be worth it.
The only trick is patience.CAN I DRAW ON THIS SHIZZ?Yeah, yeah, but what you really want to know when you consider a matte protector for the iPad Pro is a) will it give me a more paper-like texture b) will it dull the screen?Yes and yes.
Hello from a comics artist downwind of the SoCal wildfires, with lovely airborne grit in place of snow, and with 2 dogs and 4 cats.I mention the fallout and pets because I managed to get this screen protector on -with no dirt or hair underneath- even in these maddening conditions, and no bubbles. See before and after pictures.ġ Comic Artist Says: Patience Required for that Sweet Paper Feeling Has a rain-bowing and grainy effect on the screen.
