[Q] Did anyone get the anti glare screen protectors?

[Bobb_o]

I was thinking about getting one but at 17 bucks I was hesitant. Does it actually make a difference? I'd only want it if it makes reading in sunlight pretty bearable.

The display model in the store by me had one on.
It looked like it did a good job of cutting down the glare- and would be good for reading outside.
I bought one but haven't put it on yet...

Bought the screen protectors. They work well, cut down a lot of the glare, not just from outside light but inadvertent glare from other light sources as well. Use some windex, just a few drops on the screen itself and a few on the sticky side and it goes on very easy, bubbles are easy to get out. Let it sit over night to cure and you should be happy with it. BTW there wasn't an alternative at the time, as soon as stealthguards comes out with theirs I will buy that one.

Same here, I bought the one at Barnes and Noble and it has been working great. I actually read 10-15 pages outside yesterday in the sunlight with lots of snow reflecting light. I had the brightness up all the way but I could read everything just fine

Picked them up also. It does a pretty good job cutting down the glare and lessing the finger prints on the screen.
Also just an FYI: B&N will install it for you at no charge when you buy it. If they mess up the installation they will replace the protectors (there are 2 in each pack), at least that is what I was told by the employee who put mine on.

Have the B&N anti glare protector. Makes the screen a tiny bit darker & on solid white screen I see a very slight effect on the quality. It's a slight sparkle effect, but I have to emphasize slight. hat's with brightness almost at min. Reminds me of the Pandigital Novel screen, but not as severe. That said, I am leaving mine on for protection & because I like the more slippery feel compared to a naked screen. BTW Not all protectors have the same feel. I had a Zagg IS protector on my phone & it had a more rubbery, sticky feel. Not very conducive to finger sliding. The B&N feels much harder.

Cheers,

i have them as well. if you don't prefer a matte type finish, don't get it. but it does cut down on glare.

I also have the B&N screen protector and I couldn't imagine using my nook without it. I see a ton of fingerprints on the screen that make me glad I have the protector. Its not too sticky either, my finger hardly meets any resistance. However, I immediately applied the protector after unboxing my nook so I don't know what the original screen felt like.

I bought a 3 pack of anti glare on eBay for about $12 shipped.

Works like it should and install is easy =]

 

[lintmail]

I bought a $6 one on ebay and it blows. I'm sure it is partly my fault for not putting it on right. Anyway, will probably suck it up and go to B&N and have them put it on.

link? how are they? does your finger glide nice?

Quick question about the B&N Anti glare screens - others i have used, really blur the screen; do the B&N ones have any major loss of sharpness? With this beautiful screen, i would love to protect it without hindering it..

 

[Mikroft]

Unfortunately that's the nature of anti-glare. For me it's just as sharp. The decrease is in colour vibrancy.

 

[madrascafe]

I usually get these protectors on flea-bay but i caved in and bought it @ the store & had them install it as well... Best $16 i've spent.. . i still have one left over form the 2 pack...

 

[cybrdmn]

You also get a nice little black microfibre cloth with an 'n' logo on it....

I went to B&N today and picked up the Anti Glare and the Easel case. I just applied it today and I'm really happy with the application. I normally suck so much with screen protectors and I always apply them diagonally for some reason. But this time it went on right as rain cept for a few rather tiny hairs that I assume are from my dog XD

The matte effect keeps the screen much cleaner and it's really not bad at all. I personally prefer matte over glossy on a device that I'm not doing any image editting so a total A+ buy for me.

So far though seeing as I got the Nook Color by returning a gift and then paying 20 bucks. I've spent about 76 dollars for this NC. 16 for the Screen protector, 40 for the case and the original 20, the accessories are rather steep... I have a feeling that this was B&N's business model though XD

 

[Bobb_o]

I'll probably pick them up next week when I'm back at school (My major buildings is connected to a b&n)

 

[nrune]

I wasa sceptic about the screen protector b hut itg was worth every penny just to get rid of the finger prints on the screen. I thought thatI would give up on the nook but the anti glare j protector has me soldI agree Best $16 dollarso have ever spent on an accessory.

sent from my nookcolor using the xda app

Sorry for the late reply,

I actually paid $16 for 3. But since I am still a noob on xda I cannot post outside links. The seller is "ezrangestore"

My fingers glide very easily on these eBay anti glares
