There are enough iPad users here, I wanted to pass this on...
Whenever I read the reviews of iPad from places such as
Aviation Consumer, I see one thing that's often listed as
a negative, and I'd have to agree, is that the screen is
awful full of glare. It's way too reflective, being smooth
glass.
Years ago, I researched the best screen protector for a
palm pilot, and ran across the name "Brando". Tried it
and was thrilled at how incredibly durable it is.
So, when I got an iPhone, I checked, and sure enough they
made them for the iphone. Immediately I ordered one and
was MUCH happier with my iphone. People at work saw them,
and they had been trying cheaper, flimsier screen protectors,
and they had to have them too...so I started ordering them
for everyone, taking a list of who wanted them. Everyone
has been loving them.
Then, when I got the iPad, I checked again, and sure enough,
they made them for the ipad too. the P/N is SAGSP054200
if you google it.

You actually order them from I think Hong Kong, but shipping
is like $3 per order, no matter how many you get.
They do make the iPad a whole different device in the cockpit.
Your finger slides better on them, and the glare is way better.
I have had one literally save my iphone screen from awful
destruction when I stepped on it face down on the gritty
wing-walk on my plane. So, I buy them for all of my
portable devices, and even cut them for my garmin Nuvi.
You have to be EXTREMELY clean, and dust free, and be VERY
careful when you apply them. They are reposition-able,
and easily removable with no ill effects, but, if you get
ANY dust or bubbles under them, you won't be happy.
I have done many with no problem. The iPad, being larger,
was the hardest one for me. For iPhone I order a spare
to keep on hand in case I mess up, so I always have one
on the shelf. for the iPad, they're $18 and I think I
may have ordered a spare but haven't used it yet. Been
in use now for well over a year and it's still as nice as
when I got it.
So, if you're an iPad user, you should consider giving it
a try. It will definitely help a lot with the in-cockpit
sunny glare.

Link didn't work for me, but here it is I think?
http://shop.brando.com/bw-pda-screen-protector-ipad-_p4323c19d8.html
I have tried a bunch of different screen protectors for the iPad. I
knew I wanted/needed anti-glare, but have been unable to find one that I
like.
The problem I have with them all is that they have that rainbow or weird
effect. It almost looks like iridescent pixels or something. Not quite
sure how to explain it. It makes it very annoying to try and read
something with a white background. Even reading the sectional charts in
ForeFlight was hard with those weird rainbow pixels.
Does the Brando version have this weird rainbow pixel effect?

As long as it's that p/n, I think it's on a few different web
links. Beware of one thing though, they do make one that
isn't anti-glare for some devices. So get one that says
anti-glare.
Deems, I don't know anything about the Boxwave protector, sorry.
If there's something better, I'd love to see it....but I only
have seen these Brando ones first hand.
Sean,
I haven't really seen any rainbow effect with these. I
know what you mean though...some of the more clear ones
I've seen that. These are pretty invisible with the
screen on, and they look dull black with it off.
The only thing that makes them look real bad is if you get
lint underneath...you WON'T be happy with bubbles and lint.
I blow it off with compressed air, inhale and hold my breath,
work short sleeve shirts on clean tabletops, and everything
I can to make sure that it's dust-free when I apply them.
They CAN be washed under water and re-applied if you mess
up, but getting the lint off of it is a chore, so if you
get more than a couple specs, it's tough.
For what it's worth, for Chelton users, the anti-glare can
be rubbed off, and there are now literally dozens of people
with these on their EFIS too. They're almost invisible
and you could write on them with a pen and not hurt the
screen when you're done.

I bought my screen protector at Brookstone. Make sure you have a roll of scotch tape when you are applying the screen protectors. Roll the scotch tape inside out and place over your finger. It works great for removing lint particles you find after applying the protector.
On another subject, there is a new app for the ipad called SkyFire. It converts adobe flash video to the apple html5 format. Works great for watching movies or videos.
Airplane is still in paint.
Happy Holidays!!!

Or you can use Frash from Cydia to play them directly in Safari, that is if your iPad is jailbroken. It does have some glitches sometimes, but it works most of the time, especially for websites that are all flash.
