Mr.Shield Screen Protector for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 12 inch Anti Glare

My screen protectors just arrived today! The installation went smooth and the product is great that I just had to come on to leave some awesome feedback. I did not waste any of my screen protectors. The installation took only one try. I had no bubbles after I finished. I had to do it quick though because I live in the attic and my room gets dusty. So advice to all, practice aligning the screen before you start! It really helps. There are some feedback saying the screen protector is too wide and that it covers the speakers of the Surface Pro 3. Honestly, if you are a perfectionist like me and if you keep measuring and aligning the screen protector (I did it 3 or 4 times) before you let it rest on the screen, it does NOT cover the speakers. Matter of fact, if you get the alignment off by just a little, it'll probably just cover one side very slightly, but that doesn't affect the sound emission from the speakers at all. One review down rated this product for not having cut-out holes for the mic and the camera. I can agree with that, but that would make installing the screen protector more challenging since I would have to align the cut-out holes too. The cut-out rectangle for the camera and mic is good enough for me. There are some reviews claiming that the screen protector affects the touch screen capacity. I did not experience that. Matter of fact, when I was watching the video and practicing aligning the screen protector, I kept accidentally pausing the video whenever I touched the screen, just like how it would have been without the screen protector. Even before applying the screen protector at how thick it was, it did not affect the touch screen at all. There are some reviews claiming that the screen protector affects the color of the screen. It does only because it "simulates the texture of the original LCD screen" and it "reduces the strain of your eyes by blocking 99% of the UV emitted from your LCD display". I'm quoting right from the product because it's true, it works, and I love both features. With that said, it just dims the screen a little bit. Really though, it's not even noticeable. The screen protector does not add additional colors to screen. When I removed the top cover of the screen protector, I fell in love. Microsoft should thank Mr. Shield personally because the issue of the glaring screen is forever solved at an affordable price!

Love the matte finish, so much better look and feel all around than the stock glossy finish of the uncovered Surface screen. (I understand the reasons Microsoft did this, and the glossy screen is an ideal surface for a screen protector as the Mr Shield product, which every tablet-owner should have anyway.) Sensitivity was not affected enough to make any difference for me at all, and add to that the improved feel, glare reduction, and screen protection I'm very happy with this product so far. The folks at Mr Shield have provided everything in tools and instructions needed to properly apply these screen protectors, and for the price of competing products, most who only give you one protector, you get three from Mr Shield. So if you goof on the first one, it's no big deal. And the fact is, applying a screen protector on a 12" tablet is certainly more difficult and requires more precision than a putting 5" screen protector on a smart phone. If you find after your first attempt it's just too difficult, it's probably best to find a friend or family member to help you with it. In my experience, bubbles were few and they smoothed right out with no problem. Dust is a bit more difficult problem. You really need to get your screen COMPLETELY clean and free of dust if you want a pristine screen protector application. Make sure to follow the video instructions to the letter, and you can still go back and get those few dust specs you may have missed. Even if you can't get every last tiny dust particle, you'll really only see them when the screen is off anyway.

I got this product to use with my surface pro 3 along with the Urban Armor gear case. The installation process was very straightforward and clear. I did have some issues when peeling the second layer of the film and ended up accidentally lifting up the whole film instead (that kinda ruined the first one cause after that the dust particles are already sticking to the main film instead) The product is really nice and has a smooth finish to it. I do see alot of reduction to the glare from overhead artificial light but there is still some when using it in natural lighting (against a window, outdoors) The only issue I wanted to bring up was that I wouldn't recommend using the screen protector IF you plan to use it along with the Urban Armor Gear case. The screen protector goes to the pretty extreme edges of the surface pro which is a great thing however the urban armor gear case has a grabbing border edge to hold the screen in place. This edge ends up lifting the screen protector up along the four corners and introduces dust underneath the screen and resulting in bubbles at the least or just the screen won't stick anymore. My solution to it was to just trim the edges off cause as long as it stays along the edges of the screen it should be unnoticeable during use. It is unfortunate that it is this way but overall this is a good screen protector that comes with multiple screens and all the essential things you need to install it onto your surface pro

I was looking for anti glare protection and was quite discouraged by some reviews. While working from home I love to take my Surface outdoors. The only problem was the glare. I couldn't see anything on the screen but my own face and the background. Same experience indoors. This shield exceed my expectations. It came with all the extras and was very easy to install. No bubbles, except the single tiny one I was just too lazy to remove. The shield I applied to my second Surface is completely bubble free. The glare is completely gone. The quality of colors on the screen and sensitivity to touch remained the same. It fits perfectly and sticks to the screen very well. I am very satisfied with the anti-glare feature and overall appearance, and now looking for an anti-glare protection for my Samsung Tab. Ideally from this company. Because it works.

It's a great product and it's inexpensive. Mr. Shield gives you three of them. 1. My Surface Pro 3 is glare-free at normal viewing angles and screen brightness is only slightly dimmer than without the protector. 2. The pen glides easily and there is very little nib deterioration after three weeks of use: since 1/10/16. N.B., I tend to write with a light-to-medium touch due to longtime experience with a Wacom tablet (I apply the minimum force required, so the pen does most of the work). 3. Fingerprints are hardly noticeable. If they appear, I adjust screen brightness or simply wipe them away (I always make sure my hands are clean before using such an expensive tablet [and no lotions or creams]). I feel fortunate, because I used only one protector during installation. For me, it required a lot of patience and was a slow process, which took about forty-five minutes. No matter how dust free I made the room, dust somehow found a way to get underneath. However, after watching the technique in the Mr. Shield video, I was able to remove every dust particle and it's bubble-free to this day (in the box, there are plenty of dust-removal strips).

Despite the fact that the package contains a myriad of tools like a bubble remover card and stickers, dust blotter, and cleaning cloth, I was not able to get all the bubbles out of the screen. It's also a pain to put the Mr. Shield on correctly as you have to be careful not to cover up the little speakers on either side of the screen. About one hour and seven reapplications later, I managed to make it look acceptable. Fortunately, the Mr. Shield does not diminish the quality of the screen by much, and will protect your screen from scratches (I tested this out by running the edge of a pair of scissors along the screen protector, then removing it to check if the screen underneath was damaged). However, it does not exactly live up to its 'anti-glare' promise. Overall, a decent screen protector for the Surface Pro 3, but considering I paid around $16 for the screen + shipping, it's not really worth it.

If you think that a matted screen protecting cover is a good idea than it is 5 stars. If you want a clear protector I'd give it 4.5 starts based on its other merits. I use my surface pro 3 for note taking, and vigorous professional use. I also do graphics and illustrations as a hobby. So, the pen experience is important. This protector: 1. eliminates a lot of glare: I would say by 40%, making it more pleasing to look at the screen. 2. It adds a slight amount of friction to the screen (making it in a sense more textured: which by the way is a concept that Wacom adapts for its tablets - so: for artists: this is not just good it is great! Of course: you must buy the fourth generation surface pen (and I find the H tip to work perfectly for quick and light stroking, and note taking). Note: when you first apply the cover: the screen cover is sticky and hence feel like it has a lot of friction: it doesn't, just give it a couple of hours of use and it will feel much smoother. Oh, and take your time to align while applying it, and then take your time removing the bubbles. It is a perfect fit, misalignment will cause problems. *See the attached picture (note the direct light glare, and the screen brightness at minimum).

This screen protector does reduce glare and the touchscreen & stylus work perfectly well with it in place. It is well supplied with installation materials and I liked the non-woven cleaning material as I've found that the pinked edges of fabric cleaning cloths leave more lint than they remove. That said, there are no instructions and it was very annoying to have to watch several minutes of a tedious video to see if there was anything different about the installation procedure from any other screen protector of this type (there isn't). I found the protector quite hard to get into place and trying to adjust it resulted in the corners and edges not adhering (air pockets that wouldn't press or squeegee out). I had to ditch the first one because of this. The second shield's corners also came loose right away though I didn't try to adjust the protector and pressed them down will with the squeegee card -- the only thing that is holding the corners and edges at the moment is the Fintie case. It's nice that there are 3 protectors but I think I'll try another brand next time. Edit: 3 weeks later Mr. Shield mysteriously developed a number of new bubbles with tiny dust particles under them -- the kind of bubble you can't push away. The corners and edges have continued to loosen, and the protector seems to have become more and more opaque. I couldn't see my screen at all this morning and took the shield off -- screen was bright as ever, problem was with the screen. Wonder what I can use the 3rd protector for -- as flypaper perhaps?
