I use a matte screen protector for my ipad. It lessens the glare and it much smoother to swipe on the screen. I have it installed since day one and i dont have a problem about it. I also use a speck hd pixel wrap so my ipad is protected from the elements.

I just installed on (and pretty pricey at that) but I'm not crazy about it. Supposed to be a good one too but takes away so much from the beauty of the screen.
But, I really don't like how iPad screen is really a fingerprint glue and that annoyes me! The good thing about this particular screen protector is that's anti fingerprint and anti glare and for that it really works great for that (and I bet it would protect the sceen from scratches) but as I said, the screen looks so much less attractive!
So it's basically a question of cost/benefit ratio.
Not sure if I'll keep it!

I tried using one but just didn't care for it.

I actually just got the New moshi screen protector that has NO bubbles and does not affect te retina display at all. Highly recommended!!!

I got a Moshi one too, it's the iVisor XT. Install was extremely easy with zero bubbling. I do feel, however, that my fingers glide less easily with this than with the SGP Ultra Crystal I had before.

That's the one I have. I really like it. I agree that installation was super easy, even for me who always seems to mess screen protectors up. I am really impressed by it, happy to have found it.

I do, after my last iPad one broke from a fall, I had insurance to replace it, and my mom turned the broken iPad in, and they gave us a new one with a screen protector for free in just a couple days

I don't see any advantage to using one, as it will only get as scratched up and cloudy looking as some seem to think the original screen will be if they don't use one. I did, however, buy a nice little brush from Lenspen, called the Sidekick, which is used to clean the screen and leaves it looking brand new.

Yes - always

Yes, cause I use it day in and out of the university and hospital, but I do agree that it takes away the beauty of the screen! Does anyone have a screen protector that doesn't compromise the touch sensitivity and crisp of the retina display? That would solve all problems.
