Is this matte or shiny?

This was matte when I purchased. I really like it and it works well. It's non-adhesive, so you spray a little water on the window and it sticks. I like that feature because it's really easy to remove and reuse. I didn't see the other answer though. I'd call it a true matte finish, but since Robert has purchased multiple times and received different finishes...I'd be a little wary of a reorder.

This used to be pretty much matte but the last couple of rolls have been between matte and shiny. That's a pretty weak answer so to elaborate, it is not a shiny as a sheet of glass but it is shinier than anything I'd call truly matte. The best analogy I can give is that its pretty much like semi-gloss varnish. Good luck with it, I really like the stuff.

The finish is matte.I tossed the item.It was tooooo thick for the functionality you are accustomed to with a naked screen.

It's hard plastic. It's not really shiny or matte. I guess it's hard to explain. It's an opaque plastic cover.

It's not shiny but also not matte. very much in between. Like a semi-gloss.

It's glossy, not mirror like but definitely a little glossy. I know what you mean ant the matte finish. You won't get that, bit the sheildf actually provides better grip than without.

I would describe it as a horizontal brushed metallic black just like it looks in the photo. It is not glossy in the sense of polished, but has a metallic shine to it when hit by light at the right angle. It is closer to matte than glossy overall.

It's more matte, but a little shine to it. It looks very good on kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Just the right finish you would expect. It looks very good. Not what I would consider shiny.

It's not matte or glossy. It's more like a satin or semi-gloss. I've used it for a backdrop.

It has an embossed leather texture. The vinyl is shiny but the texture mutes it. It is not the same as a shiny smooth finish but is definitely shinier than a matt finish. If your concern is that it looks like cheap plastic, I'd say no. It looks good.

I would describe the one I received as "shiny" so I'll say "gloss". FYI, I found a less expensive local source subsequently...

Matte. I really like it. Very little glare or fingerprints. Best I've found.

It is more matte than glossy. It is not a cheap product and well worth the price for the quality.

I would say it is more matte than shinny. Somewhere in the middle of shinny and matte.

I would say it has a satin finish. Definitely not gloss but not matte either.

It is a cloth looking surface - matte finish (not shiny at all). Very sticky. Be careful how you apply it. Once it adheres, you might damage the surface it sticks to if you try to pull it off unless the surface is really tough. I hope this helps.

I would say more matte finish, not shiny. They are very good quality, we are very happy with them.
