looking for ipad anti-glare anti-fingerprint screen protector - anyone find a good one?

May 3, 2010 2:53 PM

I used my iphone for a year without one, thinking 'anti-glare' screens were stupid marketing and not having much problem with scratches - but after finally trying them I found the matte finish 'anti-fingerprint' qualities to be amazing (i.e. who cares about glare, but not having to wipe off fingerprints was huge)

Anyone have an ipad / found a good anti-fingerprint screen / or looking for one as well?

The apple store had one didn't they? I am trying to remember if we bought one for the guy at work who is beta testing the iPad with our network.

Best Buy has them. They're about $20 + $7 for installation. No questions asked lifetime warranty. If a bubble appears, bring it back with your receipt, and they'll replace/install it for free, for life.

@hobbit: I actually don't find one on the apple store. not the on-the-screen type I'm looking for anyways.

@sgayden huh, that's interesting - thanks. could you tell if they were the matte finish type that reduces fingerprinting?

I actually searched here at deals first and did find one posted from meritline but it was rip'd and on the site there were a couple reviews about it being wrong-sized and crappy.

@hobbit: that Steinheil one on ebay looks snazzy - had never heard of them. wish that was a pack of 5 or something for $25. I'll keep glancing around but so far I'm at least liking their marketing.

Zagg for $29.99. Doesn't say anything about the finish. Maybe that install is something only found at your local B&M.

@jumbowoot: link not working for me. I guess if these are all that much for one sheet of plastic, maybe I'll try going down to best buy for that install-it-for-you warranty.

edit - thanks, link working now.

@jumbowoot: found the manufacturer page for that one. nice marketing, though they are super focused on screen protection, which is far secondary to me than just fingerprint reduction.

@snapster: I hadn't heard of them either. I just googled it. They look promising. Since it wasn't on sale i didn't post it as a deal.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
