Musician Jimmy Cliff tells us, “It’s going to be a bright, bright, bright… sun shiny day!” And those UV-rays can potentially distract the clarity of images on your iPad’s screen. With the Glare Guard 2 tablet screen protector , your device’s screen remains luminous and vibrant wherever you go, even reducing the glare caused by those equally distracting artificial fluorescent indoor lights as well.

Pros

  • 6 layer material packed with features
  • Package includes a soft cleaning cloth and tape
  • Affordable low price

Cons

  • Dirt and dust may create bubbles
  • Package does not include application instructions

Overview

The Glare Guard 2 from Padacs is a unique 6-layer transparent film to be applied to the iPad 2 screen in order to reduce the impact of glare, enhance images, eliminate sparkle, as well as improve vibrancy and clarity. Plus, it also offers protection to a hardness factor 3H, primarily shielding against scratches.

The six layers consist of: a dust-proof film, an anti-glare layer, a hard coating layer, PET, a silicone adhesive, and a release film (both the dust-proof and release film are peeled off during the application process). Unfortunately, Padacs has neglected to include any instructions on how to install the product, but the package does include adhesive/cleaning tape and a soft cloth.

As with all screen films, you need to make sure your device’s screen is clear of dirt, dust and lint particles before applying or else bubbles will form. Once applied, the soft cleaning cloth will quickly wipe away dirt, dust and fingerprint smudges. The film can be easily removed, and its non-residue adhesive will leave your device’s screen looking clean and spotless.

Features

  • Professional anti-glare protection for iPad 2
  • Reduces visual impact of glare on the iPad 2 screen
  • Offers screen protection to a hardness factor 3H
  • The unique surface material enhances images, eliminates sparkle and improves vibrance and clarity
  • Dustproof and fingerprints can be easily removed with the enclosed cleaning cloth

RatingDescription
N/ADesign:
This case-style is not designed to offer any increased aesthetic, so we do not factor this category into scoring.
3.0Functionality: Okay
More than just anti-glare, the Glare Guard 2 also improves vibrancy and clarity, as well as increases screen touch-sensitivity and high transmittance.
3.0Protection: Okay
Not only does it protect your eyes from glare, but preserves your device’s screen from scratches and abrasions.
3.5Quality: Good
I wish Padacs had included some instructions on how to install this product, or at least included an extra film in case users don’t get it right the first time.
5.0Value: Masterpiece
$13.95 is a small cost to pay for something that I think every device could use to maintain screen touch-sensitivity and luster.
3.6Overall: Good

The Glare Guard 2 is a great low-cost accessory for preventing any artificial or natural light from outshining your iPad2’s brilliant, radiant glow.
