Do you recommend applying a screen protector? If so, which - glare-resistant or clear?

Protect it the same as any other tablet or touchscreen phone. It gets fingerprints, grease marks, scratches etc. like any touchscreen. The protector is all based on preference. I have no screen protector but I do have a case that has a hard cover that folds over the screen when not in use.

If you had your screen protector on, you'll probably brighten the screen about two to three notches to obtain the same results as having it with no screen protector.Edit: But the anti-glare feature makes it so that you don't need to turn up the brightness very high to overcome the glare anymore.

No, the screen protector you choose says clear. Tech Armor does make an anti glare protector

Not sure if possible without issues conflicting w/ screen protector underneath... Would expect there to be problems with the touch screen losing responsiveness - why would you want both? Just switch to the anti-glare and be done w/ it!

They make it look smokey to show that it's the matte and not clear. I highly recommend the anti glare to the clear b/c the clear scratches within a few days do application and the matte last for months at a time. I ordered clear screen protectors and I had to change them on a weekly-biweekly basis due to scratches. Always go with matte. And you can get the ones for the Verizon/Metro PCS or European version for a T-Mobile phone and vice versa

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

Matte. I've *never* had any problem with glare, but then I don't have any lights above or behind me either.

I use any of the cheap 3 packs of "crystal clear" "HD" screens- they always work well. Basically, the screen protectors are the same across all of the brands. There are two different types: 1. the static adhered type (my preference) which come in matte/glare reducing and clear/HD; 2. the type that have an application solution that must be applied (Zagg/Armor Suit etc.). I've tried Zagg and Armor Suit across different devices and have never liked them. Their sticky texture is annoying, and can aid in premature peeling of the protector; however, they have a better anti scratch coating for the screen protector itself. What I mean, is that any screen protector is going to protect the glass screen of your device- all of them are thick and tough. It would take a razor to get through the screen protector to scratch your screen. But the Zagg type can hide scratches oh the protectors' surface better than the static type. Also, the Zagg types can make stylus using slightly more difficult at times because of the sticky texture- even the improved protectors that promise a more glass-like surface are still stickier than the static adhered protectors. The other type of protector, my favorite, are the static adhered type. They leave no residue when removed, feel more like glass instead of a sticky film like the Zagg protector, and never have the peeling issues of Zagg type protectors. However, the static type can get little micro scratches on their surface- you can't see them when the screen is on, and they don't affect performance- but they can be seen when viewing with the screen turned off- while tilted to catch the light. Again, the glass screen itself won't ever be scratched- just the outer surface of the screen protector. After Approximately 6 years of trials with both types of protectors, I always get the static adhered type- not the solution-required type. Hope this helps!

This one is not matte/anti-glare - this is the glossy one. I prefer the clear, glossy ones because I will need to set the display brighter since the matte film blocks part of the light and I cannot read/see from the display that well, resulting in faster drain of my battery - *just from experience*

I really do not see much difference. The armor screen protector has a matte finish which is less reflective. I see that as an advantage.

The protector I bought was just for protection of the screen. I seldom use my tablets in the sun. They do make anti-glare screen protectors but I have found that these usually give a rainbow effect which makes seeing the screen hard to use in normal light. I can't speak for the experience of others with anti-glare shields just my own. Hope this helps.

I always have a screen protector on mine just for extra protection. It should go on no problem. I have the tech armor no glare on mine and it's fine.

Hello Karen,Our screen protectors are crystal-clear and shouldn't cause any problems with clarity after installed. Our screen protectors are made with high quality and durability along with ultra-clear coverage. Thank you for your concern.

Not really cause its like having the original screen on still. Its that clear. But the glare isn't bad, it's avoidable, the purpose of the screen protector is to defend the screen from drops or any other hits.

you can buy clear ones. This is so you can change the color face of your phone. This is also anti glare with is a must. But is you don't want to change the color of your phone face just buy a clear anti-glare screen protector.

Nop. the screen protector doesn´t affect the resolution or colors of the cell.

It's a personal pref. Clear will have more glare and will smudge easier, but you can't tell anything is covering the screen (when it's clean). I personally have clear because I wanted the "minimalist" look.
