I bought the Invisible Shield by ZAGG for the Apple iPad 2 first because that was the only screen protector that was available at Best Buy at the time. The application process for that screen protector took at least 2 people. The protector is flimsy and gets stuck together easily. Also, despite the instructions saying that the microbubbles will disappear after 2-3 days, they did not.

I was very unhappy with the look of the ZAGG screen protector, so decided to buy the Moshi iVisor AG. It was SO much easier to stick on my iPad. It's pretty much fool proof, as long as you follow the very simple directions. The screen is also matted so it's not as glary; and reduces smudging. It's also $10 cheaper than the ZAGG version. I'd highly recommend the moshi iVisor!! It also says it's removable and washable - which I have yet to try. But all of the other claims are spot on (the minimal impact to brightness, ez-glide surface treatment allows better touch screen maneuverability, 100% bubble free, and reduces smudging! So good! GO get this screen protector if you're looking for a good one that's easy to install!!

I've never written a review before but I am quite satisfied with this product. Zero air bubbles and it leaves no residue behind when I pull it off. It works excellent with the smart cover and I also have an Incipio Smart Feather protecting the back. Perfect combination.

This product solves the inherent weakness of the smart cover for me. (The inside of the smart cover that touches the screen also touches whatever dirty surface you might prop the device up on). Now I have a protector in between them when I close the device.

The texture of the protector is a bit different than the naked screen, but doesn't bother me. Now I can use my iPad with peace of mind.

This thing is really nice, definitely worth the money over some other ones that require you to get a "solution" all over your iPad. It is very easy to put on and take off and readjust if you don't get it on quite right. I used my fingernail to pry the edge up to get it off, with no problem.

The only problem I have with it, is that the white border around the edge is just a little bit wider than the border on my iPad. I have a white iPad 2 and with the white iVisor on I can see a bit of the black screen (when the display is off) all the way around underneath the iVisor. To me, I don't want my screen protector to reduce the size of my display, even if it is only a little bit! Since I just applied it, I will live with it for a few days and then update my review.

If I had known about this issue I probably would have gone with a different screen protector.

I spent money on ishell which was a horrible screen protector. No matter how much I cleaned the screen and reapplied it my iPad had tons of bubbles and it looked really cheap. I decided to get this one because they claimed it was 100% bubble free and it truly is. The kit also comes with a cleaning cloth and the instructions are very clear so installing this screen protector was very easy. You can't even tell it's on! The fact that it is anti-glare is a great feature and it's washable too. I highly recommend this product.

I like how easy it was to instill the shield but I dont like the smacking sound when you touch the screen. It's easy to install but its got it's weakness, the smacking sound when selecting anything on the iPad. I suppose it's a trade off but I just had to remove my Zagg's shield and didn't feel like installing my Bodyguardz shield just yet because this works fine for now.

I can't get a screen protector on my iPhone to save my life, but this truly went on 100% bubble free in seconds! I have had this on my iPad 2 for 2 months now and I strongly recommend the Moshi iVisor - it is by far my best iPad accessory purchase to date. Noticed a significant reduction in glare which I like, however if you prefer a super-glossy screen this might not be for you because it is a bit matte. I didn't really notice the improved touch screen maneuverability, but it certainly isn't any less responsive (which I was concerned about). I was very surprised that it works just fine with my stylus! I have also noticed that this stays much cleaner - really does seem to reduce fingerprints. Since it has stayed so clean I haven't tried to clean and reapply it yet, but with kids and coworkers constantly handling it this seems like a great feature. Now, if they can only make the same thing for my iPhone!!

Why?

1.- Extremely easy to install(I mean it, basically clean the screen and just drop it into position. Voilá)
2.- Reusable
3.- Washable
4.- Matte glare (my taste, but they also have the gloss one)
5.- Very resistant to scratches by itself, have been using them for a year already and only one has a small unnoticeable mark).

I tried many other protector brands before, and my sister who is quite picky totally gave up on them. I finally gave her one Moshi and se is totally happy. you will not be disappointed.

I was hesitant about getting a screen protector for my iPad 2 for a long time, but I read quite a few positive reviews about this one and decided to pull the trigger.

PACKAGING
Arrived in a nice thing box that was easy to open. Included very clear instructions as well as a microfiber cleaning cloth to prep your iPad for the protector. Major kudos on the cloth as its small enough to keep with my iPad case but just big enough to get the job done.

PROS
*Really does go on as easy as described. I cleaned my screen with the included cloth, lined the sucker up and let it fall into place, no bubbles or bumps or anything. I actually had to lift it up and realign it and it was easy as pie.
*Much easier to keep clean, doesn't get greasy or feel nasty, fingers don't catch on your screen when trying to play games, available in white or black to match the color of your iPad.
*Feels thicker than I expected (in a good way!). Really does feel like it is protecting my screen.

CONS
*Border of the protector actually goes over the edge of your display ever so slightly, not a big deal but I do notice it on occasion.
*You can feel a slight amount of give when you press down on the screen around the edges (ie: when you're typing), not too big of a problem but definitely noticeable and somewhat annoying when I first applied the protector. Has reduced somewhat with use but still present.

SUGGESTION!
Use the old trick I learned when I worked at the Apple store - Don't try to lay the protector on from one end to another, use two hands and curve the edges up and in (so the protector makes a "U" shape) and line the button and camera holes up at the top and bottom respectively. Go ahead and press the protector down so the middle of it makes contact with the screen, verifying your alignment, then let go, the rest of the protector will fall into place.

After reading several excellent reviews, I purchased the IVisor Screen Protector for my new Ipad 2. It was easy to install, right out of the package, and, as advertised, there were NO bubbles! It's a little pricey, but was worth every penny. It's durable and yet sensitive to the touch. The protector has a hardened matte surface, which is easy to clean. Unlike the Ipad screen, it's fingerprint resistant and easily cleans with a soft cloth. In addition, you can remove the protector, wash it and reinstall it, (which I haven't tried to do yet).

I highly recommend this screen protector to other Ipad users. I feel that I'm protecting my investment! I'm still amazed at how easy it was to install. Literally, took about two minutes.

It is definitely easy to apply, but it should be considering it is about $20 more than most of the other screen protectors out there. Although I am happy with the product overall, my biggest complaint would be that it dulls the screen quite noticeably. I got used to it, but when I used my friends iPad the other day I really noticed the difference again.
