*groan* Yes, that will make it look a little better. That said I'm paranoid and I never run an iPhone or iPad without a screen protector.

I like my screen protector (non reflective) as it helps my fingers glide over the screen

Yes, I will put a protector on the screen soon. It makes me laugh though as it reminds me of when I first got my iPhone and left the protective film on it. I couldn't understand why I couldn't hear anyone on the telephone very well   I thought that there was something wrong with the phone. DH eventually pointed out to me that the film was covering the microphone. Once I removed it, the phone worked perfectly!
Once I realised this, I felt like dyeing my hair blonde ;D ;D ;D

It's the white ones that were selling like hot cakes when DD got hers. Plenty of black ones, but there was a 1 week wait for white.love them, they're so light and cute.

I have to say the black looks best, the slate look is just spot on (and surpassingly is the one my wife bought)

I have tried screen protectors but find they are easy to wipemover with lens cloths or microfibre cloths so don't bother.

The non reflective also doesn't show finger marks as much as it is not a glossy finish.

DD insisted I have a screen protector for  mine and I'm glad now as I have to fight DH for it and he often has grease ingrained on his fingers. It's easy to wipe over. I used to love reading the ipad in front of tv at night. Now if I pause DH has grabbed it. I don't want to ask for it back as he has only just learned to use it. :'( :'(

Wss at the Doncaster Apple store at 9am and they didn't have them in yet, the Chadstone store did have them but I had to get to work so couldn't drive over there. I've just called the Doncaster store (11.20am) and they now have them but won't put one on hold and I can't get there until after work. looks like I'll need to wait a little longer.

Just thought I would track my IPad and it has left the depot in Cairns. On it's way to me any minute. Happy Dance.
