Quick question: when I got my iPad through the mail I did not order a case or the anti glare screen cover. Does it damage the screen not to have it? I did order the case and the screen protection later and expect the items to come in today. I ordered the full case from Brookstone since Apple didn't have them.

I have a smart case on my iPad but I've never had a screen protector on any of my iDevices and they are all still pristine.

I placed an anti-glare clear protective cover on my iPad screen. It decreases the finger smudges and some of the glare. I am glad I decided to use it.
