ViaScreens Screen Protector for iPad Pro 1st Generation

No, the protector is designed to maintain full touchscreen sensitivity. Its paper-like texture actually provides a bit of friction, which many users find makes writing and drawing with an Apple Pencil feel more natural and controlled.

While all matte screen protectors slightly diffuse light to reduce glare, this film is engineered to minimize the 'rainbow effect' or graininess often associated with lower-quality matte materials. You will notice a slight softening of the display, but it remains clear and sharp.

The kit includes a dedicated application toolkit and an advanced adhesive backing designed to minimize trapped air. If you follow the included instructions and clean the screen thoroughly before application, you should achieve a smooth, bubble-free fit.

The matte finish is significantly better at resisting fingerprints and smudges than the standard glossy glass of the iPad. It helps keep the display looking clean, though you may still need to wipe it down occasionally with a microfiber cloth.

This protector is primarily designed to reduce glare and provide a tactile writing surface, with a 2H hardness rating that guards against minor scuffs and surface scratches. It is not intended to protect the screen from heavy impacts or drops.
