Can anyone explain the difference between the anti-glare and crystal clear versions is? Seems from some reviews that the anti-glare distorts images?

I have the crystal clear version, as the anti glare gives the screen a slight haze. It doesn't bother some people, but I wanted to get the most of my retina display. I have no complaints so far.

Hi, it's not anti glare, it is not transparent (only translucent)and wil only degrade your TV image.

The matte version helps with glare, but the iPad (like all backlit products) is not very bright or easily readable in bright sunlight. Although it take away a little from the apparent resolution, I prefer the matte version to the crystal clear version because it has a "slicker" feel - my finger glides more easily over it - and does not show the "rainbow" effect that appears from the oil on my fingers. To easily read outside, you'll need to forgo color and use an e-ink product like the Kindle Paperwhite.

I don't think it looks blurry. It doesn't look glossy, but that's because it is anti-glare.

I agree with I.Peter, I took a look at the B630 at my local Electronics Expo which was opposite a front window and I really didn't notice an issue with glare. My local best buy didn't have a B640 and with no windows and very high lights I'm not sure I would have noticed the glare.I did notice that Expo was lower on price and when I ready I'll see what they can do.

I would go with the clear film. Glare has not been a problem for me at all indoors with the clear protector sheet.

I'm not sure what you mean by "improve clarity." It does help prevent glare and makes it more comfortable to view, but actually improving clarity? I'm not sure if it actually does that. In the full, bright sun, with the screen brightness turned all the way up, it is difficult to see (as expected), but by far easier than just the screen alone. Wish I could help more. Good Luck! :)

Hello M. Miniaci,Our screen protector are not anti-glare. ArmorSuit screen protectors would be considerered shiny rather than matte. Our screen protectors are ultra-clear, durable, long lasting. Thank you for your inquiry.

I am unable to see any difference from a glare with the protector on, or off. The gorilla glass is obviously very reflective, but the protector, being clear and glossy, not matte, does not reduce any of the glare

I purchased the 1.4X, after doing research on the results of both products. From what I read, the images stay "sharper" at the edges, with the 1.4x. I have used the 1.4X, and have been very pleased with the results. I do intend to purchase the 2x, understanding that the clarity may not be as good.

Well, you can't have it both...Either it is hd or anti glare. I opted for anti glare because it is easier to read the screen in the sun but you lose some of the hd. Hope this helped.

Yes, there is a noticeable difference. I almost returned mine because I thought the screen was blurry/grainy until I realized it came with its own screen protector. So i purchased some screen protectors from amazon and they are really clear, showing a better picture. I also have the Idolian custom made case for this tablet as well and everything is awesome!

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

I don't have any experience with the matte, but I have no complaints bout the clear one. Haven't had any problems with glare, etc.

I prefer the clear. The anti-glare takes all the crispness away from the screen and is too dark for my tastes. I found I had to increase the brightness level to the max to compensate.

I have mine in my basement and I have a lot of windows and an all glass sliding door walkout on the opposite wall and I don't have any problems with glare. The picture is very bright and screen seems to reduce the glare quite a bit.

Check out the review comment posted at the product site on Amazon - one chap has addressed the blur issue specifically. Here's the link to the review http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PJS6SOXSDS0E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
