iCarez (Updated Version) Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector for Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro 12.9 2018 PET Film Compatible with Face ID - Pack of 2

I really like this screen protector. I mostly use my tablet for note-taking and drawing, and I needed something that would take away the extreme glossiness of the screen without causing too much blurring or colour inaccuracy. This is definitely the right product for that. The protector is matte, but not at all rough, so I don’t foresee having to replace the pencil nib anytime soon, which was a major concern for me.Anti-glare is good, but I haven’t tried it in direct sunlight so I can’t say for sure. It’s not really an issue for me either way.Installation is probably the only thing I don’t appreciate about this product. It’s a little tricky to get it lined up and even harder to get the dust out from underneath if any is left behind. I messed up two corners just a tiny bit from having to lift the protector again to get dust out, only to find more underneath. Admittedly, it’s very dusty here, so it might not be as bad for someone else. Once the protector is on it really likes to stay where it is, even after a couple of lifts, and the bubbles were easy to push out.Overall, very happy with this purchase. And it came with two! So now I have an extra if I need it. Absolutely worth your money, especially if you’re looking for something with very mild texturing.

I purchased this item 3 separate times over the last few years. It is hands down the absolute best for drawing. Nothing comes close. Comparing to the paperlike: the paperlike burns your Apple Pencil nib out quickly as it is a bit too abrasive. This one does not do that to the same degree.Pros: it does a good job of handling glare.It does a great job responding to the pencil.It’s a perfect March for most cases IF APPLIED PROPERLY.It’s inexpensive.It comes with two in the event that you mess one up.The instructions are very clear.Cons: the “tooth” wears off of this iPad protector after about 40-50 hours of use. Which means you’ll need to replace it a few times a year if you are drawing intensively.It is a bit difficult to apply if you live in a dusty home.It is so precise if you don’t get it on just right most cases will bubble at a corner (this doesn’t effect it much)Pro tip: run a hot shower for about 15 minutes and allow the steam to take over. Apply the protector in the bathroom following all of the instructions. This will create a dust free environment and make you nail the first application so you’ll have another to replace when you find necessary.10/10 recommend.

I got an iPad Pro 2020 specifically for digital art and knew from previous experience drawing on the bare glass of a Surface Pro that I didn’t want to deal with that here. So after a lot of research and comparison of my options I chose this one over some of the more expensive models.The installation is tedious and time consuming if you want a good install, but overall I’m happy with the ease of the process and the help they provide with the instructions, even if picking up dust under the adhesive was a pain. That is probably my only complaint is that even with a good installation, the plastic is so fragile I still ended up with a very small indent on the screen from putting pressure on it to pick up a dust particle. However it’s so tiny I tend to overlook that one small bubble. No matter how dust-free you believe your environment is, don’t be discouraged if you still find some dust under the screen later.The colors do “bloom” a bit meaning you will get the rainbow effect slightly by using this product. However in my opinion it is just a little grainier than a typical Wacom Cintiq screen. The colors are still clear enough to me that it’s worth the small bit of color degradation when the writing and scrolling experience is so nice.Definitely less fingerprints are noticeable, and it’s so nice to swipe across the screen and not get stuck. Resting my hand is the same way. It has a nice tooth to it that feels like you’re swiping against fine printer paper.The pencil experience is definitely improved. No slipping or sliding, and still very responsive. I’ve only used it for a short while so far but I can tell it will improve my work flow.Lastly some were concerned about how this fits with cases. I took extra time to center my matte screen protector and I am happy to report that even in my Zugu case, the edges do not bubble up and are not constricted. Pleasantly surprised and happy to keep working with this!If you are an artist looking for a Wacom-like experience on your iPad, I can certainly recommend this.

For what this screen protector is, and the price I got it at, this is a very good screen protector. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out how to put it on, but it’s very easy to figure out, I’m just a little slow sometimes. The directions aren’t as clear as I would have liked, but a quick YouTube search on how to do it made my life a lot easier. However, when it is on the iPad it’s very nice, I really like the way it feels when the Apple Pencil glides across it as I draw, but it definitely gets scratched up pretty quickly (though you can’t see the scratches all that much). It’s still a super nice screen protector, and I’m glad I purchased it.

I needed a matte screen protector for my iPad for drawing work without degrading the screen quality. I’ve tried Paperl*** two years ago and I was dissatisfied for its price and quality. I figured hey lets try iCarez, the reviews seem genuine and not paid for by coupons (and good thing I didn’t find any Amazon coupons inside the packaging so that’s a good sign) Installation can be bothersome if you live in a house with some dust and pet dander but I recommend using your bathroom and turn the shower on for some humidity to catch dust easily and help adhere the screen protector better. The screen protector so far exceeded my expectations:- Image quality isn’t compromised as much compared to other matte screens I used- Apple Pencil use: doesn't feel rough and there is a bit of resistance, will draw on it some more and hopefully it doesn’t wear down my nibs- Feels smooth with fingers especially when swiping to text on compact iPad keyboard- Matte surface is decent, not too textured, diffuses lightI say this is best value for a matte screen protector. Its not paper textured feel so look elsewhere if you want that.
