I am looking for a shield to help with the glare of the shiny ipad screen. Does this protector "anti-glare" or matte finish or is it shiny?

It is not anti glare! It is shiny! Look for the ZAGG protector that says anti glare.

The I got was not Matte -- they will almost always say that in the add. BTW, I have an anti-glare on my smartphone and while it does cut down on glare, the display still gets "washed out" in sunlight

I don't find that it makes a difference at all versus the shiny-glare type protectors. I've used this type on my iphone for years and never noticed a problem. I love the anti-glare protectors. I won't go back to the shiny protectors. I hope this helps!

It is a cloth looking surface - matte finish (not shiny at all). Very sticky. Be careful how you apply it. Once it adheres, you might damage the surface it sticks to if you try to pull it off unless the surface is really tough. I hope this helps.

I believe it to be a matte screen; it has no glare or reflection. I have used it in fluorescent office light and natural light, quality barely changes. I hope this helps.

Just to add to other comments, the screen is anti-glare, the glossy part is the boarder. I use it in my home office and have several lights shining around the monitor and there's absolutely no glare from the monitor.

Not glossy. Not true matte but more of a satin finish. Doesn't seem to glare though. My wife uses it as a second screen for graphics design and likes it very much.

I believe it is Matte...not like an ipad screen. Do not get a lot of glare. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't believe there is any anti-glare coating on the screen. However the IPS LED is so bright and clear it's hard to tell. I do notice sometimes reflections from my living room lights into the screen, and direct sunlight will reduce visibility.

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

Not sure I understand the question. The screen looks like any other I have used. The material around the screen is shiny but the screen itself is matte.....

I've had this screen protector for some time now and have not noticed a glare. But I must say I've only used it indoors and have not used it outdoors. Hope this helps you.

Hello Chris,Sorry for the late response. I will tell you that this is an Ultra Clear screen protector. It is considered in lamen's terms more of the Glossy texture. Matte is frosted and has anti-glare properties with a "sandpaper" like feel. This particular screen protector is NOT "Matte."I hope that helps clear up the confusion.Thanks for the question.

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.

I like the matte finish best. It prevents glare and I think looks cleaner. It does make the screen look a little darker I think but I've gotten used to it and don't mind it now.

It is so-so (has its ups and downs). It is one of the matte screen protectors, so it has anti-glare properties. However, while they might not be reflective, they hold onto dings and scratches better than a normal screen-protector.
