There are too many choices. It's confusing me. Which one should I buy? 1) HD Clear? 2) HD Clear + Impact Protection? 3) Matte Anti-Glare? 4) Privacy?

Many choices, yes! I can share my experience with two of those. The first type of protector I bought was the matte anti-glare, which I used for many months. It was okay, and performed as promised, but I kind of missed that crisp, super-clear look, so the replacement I bought was HD clear and I love it. Of course, it doesn't offer the glare protection, but it's a trade-off. I feel no need for impact protection or privacy, so I can't comment on those. Hope that helps.

number 1 and 2 is the same but the HD clear+Impact Protection going to be stronger and better screen protector, number 3 will help reduce the glare on your screen caused by the sun or other bright lights, 4 it's more if you don't want anyone next to you see what are you doing on the phone.here's video that show all yypes of screen protectors"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIspJMAzAFk"for me I got the Privacy one, but If I am going to buy again I will get 3) Matte Anti-Glare or 2) HD Clear + Impact Protection?

I got the Matte Anti-glare and am very satisfied with it. Would have gotten the impact protection but was buying an armor case for it at the same time.

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 have the privacy version. It is crystal clear viewing, and no glare for the most part. It is super thick so kind of like impact protection =). I got it because of the thickness as I had a cracked on my screen. U can't see or feel the cracks at all what so ever. All phone functions still working perfectly ever with the thickness.

I suggest you to buy the combo (top, bottom and wrist-rest/trackpad). If you calculate the price for individual pieces, the logical investment is to buy the complete protection. On the other hand, you have to buy the screen protector separately. I recommend this one: MegaGear MacBook Retina 15-Inch Screen Frame Anti - Glare Protector.

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.

Well, you can't have it both...Either it is hd or anti glare. I opted for anti glare because it is easier to read the screen in the sun but you lose some of the hd. Hope this helped.

I think it's up to personal preferences, but I was really unimpressed with an Otterbox Defender and basically ended up with a highly secured case full of fine dust and a scratched screen. Stick-on protectors work better for my needs.

I went with the apple leather cover and I've been happy with it so far. I was looking for light and this was it for me although there weren't many aftermarkets available when I purchased it. I'm waiting for zero-chroma to come out with their case, then that'll be the best way to go for rear coverage and an adjustable stand.

I haven't tried the HD clear but the matte one is excellent. You can't even tell it's on the screen, eliminates fingerprints and responsiveness to stylus is the same as without a screen protector.

They make it look smokey to show that it's the matte and not clear. I highly recommend the anti glare to the clear b/c the clear scratches within a few days do application and the matte last for months at a time. I ordered clear screen protectors and I had to change them on a weekly-biweekly basis due to scratches. Always go with matte. And you can get the ones for the Verizon/Metro PCS or European version for a T-Mobile phone and vice versa

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

Nope, I recommend buying a Ghost Armor screen protector. Easy to apply and they offer both glossy and matte.

I prefer the matte as it enables me to enjoy the outdoors and work outside. It's the only reason I have not upgraded. So with that said how is it outdoors? My 2 is easily viewed outdoors.

I would say matte, but there are supposedly different versions of the screen. My two are matte.

If you are looking at the "HD Clear" screen protector, That one is not anti-glare. This is the one I have and the screen is very hard to see outdoors in the sun.Go for the Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint (Matte) version instead.

It's a personal pref. Clear will have more glare and will smudge easier, but you can't tell anything is covering the screen (when it's clean). I personally have clear because I wanted the "minimalist" look.

yeah the glare is bad. I'd check out what Tom said cause I did a quick search and found several listed for specific laptops/brands but not for this one. Hope you find one that works.

The matte finish is different from the HD version, which is crystal clear. The matte finish removes any glare from the screen, which is what I wanted, but it does soften the beautiful retina display just a bit. I don't notice it too much, but if you put an uncovered retina display next to it you would be able to tell the difference.

I have the matte case. It is excellent. Perfect compromise between protection and thin form factor. Have dropped a couple times on corners with no vissible damage or problems. The matte version offers a nice grip, as well.
