Best Screen Protector for Framework 13 Matte Screen

Hey,

I’m due to receive my AMD Framework within the next week. I’m aware the AMD version now comes supplied with the matte screen but I’m considering a screen protector to protect from scratches and general wear and tear.
I’ve read over the popular thread from 2021 discussing matte screen protectors for the glossy screen and I’m interested in a protector from Viascreens.

However, I’m not sure what version to order? Should I be ordering a matte protector or will this result in a “double matte?” effect as the screen itself is already matte.
Likewise, I don’t want to order a clear protector and end up with a glossy finish!

What type is best suited for the matte screen?!
Thanks!

If you get a glossy screen protector, you will definitely get a glossy finish. The outermost surface is what determines what you get.

As to a “double matte” effect, I’m not certain, but I believe the adhesive will neutralize the majority of the inner matte surface. Matte transparent surfaces are matte due to very fine texturing that is on the surface / open to the air. Air having a very different index of refraction. The adhesive should bridge the very fine texturing with a material having a much closer index than air.

Great response, thanks!
Sounds like a matte one will do the trick.

Just thought I’d add a quick update for anyone who may come across this post in the future.

I ordered a matte finish protector from https://screenshield.com.au/ which was custom cut at 288 x 193mm with a 2mm corner radius.

I’m happy to report it works and fits perfectly! It maintains the factory appearance matte screen flawlessly.
