I've always put a screen protector on my iPads. Now that I have the iPad 3, I'm not sure if I want to do that with my Retina display. Will you be putting a screen protector on your iPad 3? Anyone had any scratches on their iPad without a screen protector? Finally, are there any screen protectors that don't diminish the awesomeness of the Retina display?

I use a Zagg screen protector for my iPhone 4s that works great so I decided to try one for my iPad. So far so good.

I tried a Zagg screen protector and it distorted the new iPad display. I removed it and will "go brave" until there is something more suitable.

I dont know why people keep asking this ever since the first iPad. The screen of iPad's are scratch resistant. There is no need for a screen protector on a iPad-Period !! Only sand can scratch it or may be Diamond ! Not in Normal use.

I'm going to do a side by side with my screen and my sister's to see if there's any distortion.

The first thing I do is put a protector on. Yes the screen is scratch resistant but it will scratch. Using full body invisashield at the moment.

No screen protector here. Like Brook Shields and her Calvin Klein jeans, nothing gets between me and my iPad ;)

When I asked about screen protectors in Apple store, they said they recommend against using them because it alters the quality of the display. on iPhone, yes - the Apple guy had same one I use on 4S. On iPad, no.

I throw iPhone in my bag, so screen protector is essential. On the other hand, iPad will always be in a case or covered by smart-cover unless I am using it. Have to say I lprefer both displays au naturale - tempted to remove the iPhone screen protector every darn day...

I don't have a screen protector on my iPad. The way I see it...I have a screen protector on my phone because I carry my phone around everywhere which makes it susceptible to scratches and whatnot. I have a smart cover on my iPad and only carry it when I'm traveling, so no screen protector is needed.

Why would you spoil it...
It is a Gorilla Glass product already.
Have you seen the specs ?
Do not waste your money on another layer for your screen.
