Does the HD clear help eliminate fingerprints &amp; smears at all? I have the anti-glare version but don't lilke the appearance.

I think the screen protector helps some but it is easy to wipe clean. I use a stylus most of the time for typing and have a small microfiber cloth to use when I put the tablet away. I am very picky about a clean screen. I feel safe from scratches and grubby smears with the protector. I don't know it's there.

the purpose of the film is to protect the screen of the tablet from scratches, dust and use; fingerprints and smears are a part of that daily use. The advantage is that you can easily replace the film when the scratches etc. make it hard to use the tablet...if you don't use the film you would probably have to replace the tablet.

I believe it is a bit better, and I do love the glass and protection it offers. However, it still shows smears and fingerprints.

I have the HD version which is very clear and I would definitely recommend it. I can't even tell the difference between my friend's screen and my own and they don't have a screen protector. The only thing that stinks is you still get the finger smudges but that happens when you don't have a screen protector too and you can hardly notice when you are using your iPad it's just when you shut it off or a light is glaring right on it. Otherwise very clear!

he anti-glare version (which I purchased) does; however, it appears that the description of this item has changed since I bought it, and it now states simply "clear." It is possible that there may not be one now.

My wife's new Macbook (not Pro) has a glossy screen (no choice) and she really hates it. She wishes she could get it with the matte screen (like her old iBook or my Powerbook). The reflections are annoying, and it shows every little fingerprint or smudge...it's also difficult to clean.Go with the matte, it's a better option.-Zach

Its doesn't do a lot more than just protect the (very expensive to replace) camera LCD. Mine has scratches all over it and it's taken a huge beating... So nice that I can replace it for about $30... But to answer your question, glare reduction in minimal. Finger prints are easy to remove and I don't worry about using some special 'cloth', since i can replace it for so cheap... I have one on both my Sony RX100 & my Nikon D4. Get it!

Yes, it reduces the smears, but doesn't eliminate them. Not only does it reduce the smears, it's a good protective shield, fro keeping your screen from getting easily scratched.

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

Lol I had to suffer the same thing. The matte one is really nice if you dont want a shiny screen with a million fingerprints but it kinda makes the screen blurry. I'd say get the HD with impact protection

I had such a hard time putting the screen protector on that I just gave up. I told the seller about the difficulty and they said they would send me another one but as of yet I have not gotten it. But to answer your question, I am debating about not using for the exact reason you are concerned about. I do think it may affect the HD clarity but I can't say that as fact - just using my common sense... it is a matte screen - it will have some affect, I'm not just sure how much. Hope this helps some.

No it doesn't affect it at all. In fact, it makes the screen smoother and it won't get finger print smudges as easily.

It definitely reduces the glare. It sort of dulls the reflective property of the bare screen, which in turn sort of takes away some of the HD quality. If you are strictly concerned with the glare, I would say this is a good product for that.

I use the clear protector. I felt like the matte might detract in certain lighting situations. It's been a solid screen protector, either way you go.

I've got a little bottle of LCD screen cleaner from a company called "Innovera..." I don't know where it came from, but it works really well. I'd recommend a microfiber cloth and lens/screen cleaning solution. If you or a family member own glasses, their kit should more than suffice. Fingerprints, though, are impossible to avoid... Unless you just never use your tablet.

Not that I have noticed. Its just a clear covering. The only concern might be trapping fingerprints underneath. You just have to be really careful with the application of it to avoid that.

They do sell a version that will cut the glare, but the reviews of those often say it interferes with the picture quality, so we opted for the clear without anti-glare.

No,I'm afraid it doesn't eliminate the fingerprints but all I do is give it a wipe once in awhile. Would be nice to have a film that doesn't smear. But it does the trick of protecting the tablet and that's what I was looking for.
