does it prevent glare when reading in direct sunlight?

When under the direct sunlight, with no clouds, it is a lot better than without it, but I still find myself putting it in a shadow of my head.

If I had to answer in one word, then "yes"! That being said, the brightness would have to be significantly high if not at its highest. Also, the smudges on the matte screen protector would seem a lot more visible. But it is not a horrible experience. I did some reading in bright sunlight on my iPad Mini 2 with these guys on and it was absolutely fine! (Of course, I was dying inside because I'm a "greenophobe" and hate wasting the power for the extra brightness) :)

If you turn the brightness on your iPad to the highest setting then the answer is yes. If it's so bright out that you need to wear sunglasses then the answer is no because the sunglasses will make the screen even darker looking. I doubt if you wil find an anti glare screen protector that will make the screen perfect for viewing in the direct sun. I use my Kindle for reading outside. . All in all you can read outside in the sun okay with this anti glare, anti smug and anti scratch protector it's just not perfect.

I agree, just adjust the light to bright with no problem! No glare. I love my Nook HD+ and even got one for each of my grandsons!

Short answer: No. It scatters light more than the glass screen of a tablet. I think its best use in indoors, where it offers some advantage over the bare screen by breaking up specular reflections from the background environment. I don't know of anything that really works in the sun - except, of course, getting out the sun...

I don't think anything can completely control glare and reflections. I do use mine in a very bright room (big windows, no blinds) and I'm quite happy with it. If you have a big source of light that's reflected in the screen you will see glare. I do have it on a mount that lets me swivel the set to avoid the worst of the reflections. Hope this helps.

no glare, light adjustable, sure, but don't expect the same comfort you would have reading a paper book or e-ink reader (ie black on white) on the beach. I'm always questioning the use of these modern color screens retina or else under the outdoor sun for long periods of time. They're at their best indoor where light is either artificial or dimmed

Have not used mine outdoors since applying but indoors I don't notice any glare. Can't say it is due to the cover but none the less hope it helps you make a decision.

As far as I can tell, it's just a mirror. But I also haven't noticed a problem with glare. Wish I could give a more informed answer.

One problem is that with some ereaders (some batch of kindle 2) you will see fading under direct sunlight. I think it only affect older screen technologies.

Not so much. It will eliminate most of the glare, but the brightness of the sun can still make it difficult to see the screen.

I never seem to have a glare problem with mine but that may be the way I have it located. I don't know if it is actually anti-glare or not.

I would say yes. I added this to my Kindle and it took away all glare. Reading outside is no problem. Some sites are still a little difficult to see outside (mainly depending on how bright you have screen settings) but so much better than without protector. I am so happy I purchased this protector!

No it does not cause glare at all. Been taking pictures with case on and pictures turn out great

Yes, it will give a glare. However, the farther from the glass, the less pronounced it will be.

No. But the tilt screen helps by allowing you to hold it at angles so you get no direct glare

I did not have a problem with mine. If you are not in direct sunlight it should be easily readable.

It's meant to reduce glare so it helps a bit. I haven't used it outside or in extreme or harsh sunlight so I can't really say but near a window it seems to work fine.you should also be able to contact the seller if you have any more questions they may be able to help you further.

It reduces glare, but doesn't completely get rid of it. How well it does in the sun depends on your device.
