i picked up the ViaScreens matte screen protector.
it was one of the harder screen protectors i’ve had to apply (probably just due to the size) but once i got the second one on perfectly it’s been a huge improvement to the glare and feels way better when using a stylus
As said earlier I have the via screen silk-protector. What I found is that a stylus with a hard tip (Wacom bamboo 2. gen) will leave scratches on the protector.
the “matte” screen, at least from what does not seem to actually scratch.
i tried pressing harder than i normally would with a pen outside of the display area to see if it would mark up the protector, and none of these pens appeared to scratched it:
The privacy one is glossy so unfortunately it will not do anything to reduce the glare or fingerprint. I’m happy with it though. I believe viascreen has a matte privacy option but it is quite a bit more expensive than the brotect ones.
Was looking for a paperlike screen protector that ideally wouldn’t cost me like 30 dollars & found that ones for the iPad Air 13 are almost the perfect width for the FW12.
Picked up a 2 pack (“MOBDIK“ brand) off amazon for $10, trimmed ~1.5cm off the bottom (can’t remember the exact measurement) and using the hot shower steam room trick it applied perfectly. There’s around a millimeter or so gap between the protector and where the top/left/right sides of the bezel ends, and the corner radius is different so there’s a bit uncovered there, but as it’s all on the bezel it hasn’t bothered me at all. The camera cutout aligns pretty much perfectly too which is super nice.
Writing with a Metapen M2 feels a lot more like paper, if anything probably slightly too much friction, but still more comfortable for me to write on than it was before. Colors & contrast don’t look different to me at all (but I am pretty undiscerning when it comes to that stuff) and the glare is noticeably reduced.
Definitely would get a more perfect fit with a viascreens/similar one, but for someone who doesn’t care about that and wants to save a few bucks this works quite well I think!
