My zagg is fine it has built in antiglare

Interesting.... I've heard a lot of really bad things about the Zagg Anit-glare (specifically, a rainbow-type effect on the screen which is very annoying).. Have you experienced that at all?

My preference is no screen protector. XD

How can you stand the glare and the fingerprints?? I went without an anti-glare protector for about two days and couldn't take it anymore! Between the glare and all of the damn fingerprints, I couldn't get any real work done!! :)

Seriously, if you've never tried an anti-glare protector on the iPad, you might want to give it a shot... I don't care about the protection part - I've very careful with my iPad, but the anti-glare'ness is just awesome and makes the iPad experience that much better, in my opinion!

The difference between a naked, glossy iPad screen and a matte filter is like the difference between an old-style glass cathode-ray tube monitor and an LCD flatscreen monitor: the former catches and reflects all kinds of ambient and overhead lighting (especially outdoors in semi- or full sunlight), whilst the latter is far more comfortable on the eyes.

Didn't mention that glass feels so much better than the protector.

Actually, it does not (at least in my opinion).... My fingers slide on the screen so much better when using an anti-glare protector.... I've found that my fingers tend to "stick" to the naked-glass screen a lot more...

Seriously, if you've never tried an anit-glare protector, you should give it a shot, it really does improve the iPad experience, in my opinion.

There is no doubt that PowerSupport has the best anti-glare (believe me - I've tried ALOT of different brands as I'm VERY picky!)... At $35 each, they are not cheap, but they are THE best...

Nope, not for me. With a matte protector, I find the tactile experience less sticky, and fingerprint smudges are virtually eliminated.
