Firstly, as with all screen protectors cleanliness is bigger than godliness.. If you clean your screen for less than 30 minutes then your not cleaning enough.
The damp your cloth advice off the you-tube video is essential, I cleaned with windolene, glass cleaner (No.2) then damp cloth, then blasted with canned air I bought from Maplins for cleaning electronics. I then held the screen to the light and looked for any dust, then repeated. THIS EFFORT IS ESSENTIAL for a long term good effect.
Also DO NOT apply this screen in the kitchen, as most tables have salt/pepper particles, etc that are loose so head for a quiet clean room, the you tube video recommends the bathroom after/ during a shower running as the mist will hold down the particles as they get heavy with water in the air, just watch out for Talc.
Now to the actual protector-
This is probably the best screen protector I’ve bought for myself (and as the caged geek,) for friends and family it has a really substantial packaging and feels really thick and substantial.
The Anti-glare works really well but still will not make it possible to see the screen in bright daylight, but for everyday indoor use you now won’t see yourself when watching a video or screen in general. Also windows don’t appear on you screen if you have your back to a window.
This will not perform miracles but will definitely improve your experience. the screen has a sight rough feeling and this gives slight finger drag during game play. UPDATE – actually found that the slightly rough surface not only stops finger marks but in fact stops the build up of grease so the screen drag never increases making it smother after a long gaming session.
Time will tell if this protector will shine up with time, but for now very, very happy with product and seller.
FOOTNOTE, before applying check the protector as there are films on both side of the protector to keep it clean, one of my films had a small bubble that would disappear once the protective film was removed at the end, if I hadn’t noticed this I might have struggles with a bubble that wasn’t really there, so double check first.

This is my second go at protecting my precious Ipad, what a product,it is easy to apply, anyone who says otherwise is not being carefully enough.What an excellent product.I have a spare protector and judging by the use and abuse I give it I am not sure when I will have to replace it. I would recommend this product to all those who want to protect their beloved pad.

I followed the instruction video on the product web site and found this screen protector reasonably easy to fit, using sticky tape to remove the inevitable dust particles that landed on the screen during fitting. Fitting a protector to a screen the size of the iPad is always going to be a slight challenge, but is well worth the effort.
The matt finish does help reduce reflections and glare but the screen still looks great.
The best thing about this protector is that before I fitted it, we were constantly having to clean (the kids’) fingerprints off the screen and now they’re hardly noticeable (the fingerprints that is, not the kids).

My initial experience with this product was not the best but I was contacted directly by the founder and provided excellent, prompt and courteous service.
My subsequent application of the screen protector has been more successful and so far it has been great. Continues to survive my 1 and a half year old’s advances.

It is very easy to apply. And the instructions are very well written.
I wouldn’t like to see any scratch on my screen and this is the best protector I have found so far.
The response of the iPad stays the same as without a protector. Ok there are some fingerprints but the cloth helps a lot!
Also the package contains two protectors,which is very useful.
It arrived in perfect condition! Perfect choice for your iPad!
