What is the difference between glossy and matte?

Glossy is the shiny finish and matte is a duller finish. I got the dull version because I have little kids and they play games on my phone. I figured that over time, they may scratch the case up a bit from dropping it all the time and with the matte version, you don't notice scratches as much. I am super happy with the case and have gotten so many compliments on it.

glossy means that the surface is more shiny and slippery/smooth, matte feels a little more rough and is textured but is less likely to scratch or slip out of your hand

Matte. The screen has become less sensitive and is not as clear. Thinking about buying a different kind of product.

Glossy. It attracts some fingerprints. However, not nearly so much as the top cover. The cover attracts fingerprints so much to be quite annoying. One cannot touch it without leaving major fingerprints.

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

I am going to have to have to say glossy. It has a very nice and clear picture.

The one we received has the matte finish. It looks good and doesn't collect fingerprints.

Matte- no shine or shimmer ie dry normal skin look while dewy adds a slight sheen to the face . It makes it more radiant and luminous.

It's a personal preference but I prefer glossy but that's just me. 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*

Yeah, they're matte. However they have some that aren't. Just look for the ones that say 'clear'.

Gloss clear. There is no matte finish or other film that filters light or glare.

Mine was glossy too. I asked them before purchasing it because I didn't want to risk getting a matte finish and they said that glossy finish were the only ones they had left then. It wouldn't hurt to check with the seller now again though I guess. I really liked my screen and the packaging was really good! Good luck!! :)

Glossy would be more reflective and hard to see in Sun light or bright lights matte is easier to see. Guess itwould Depend on what you want.

I do find your question interesting. When I ordered I did not get a choice. The one I ordered came in Matte finish for the screen. Monitors I know of are Matte. I do Have a Dell Laptop that has a glossy screen and I find I prefer a Matte finish . You get less glare from surrounding lighting.

It was glossy. However I have a matte finished one on my iPad now and that also works with my Belkin Sylus

Can't give you a definitive answer to that since I don't know what the numbers represent. However, I did paint matte finish over glossy finish, which helped eliminate too many highlights and flaws. Good luck.
