The screen does NOT take away from the brilliance of my iPad 2
What is the problem you have with the screen?
I have used several different kinds of protectors on my multiple devices before and this one is by far the most "not there, but there" kind of protector.  It has a good thickness to it as far as durability goes, but doesn't feel thick on the screen.  It was simple to put on, if you have ever put one on before.  The screen does NOT take away from the brilliance of my iPad 2.  The colors and the screen look just like it did before I put it on.  I have used a zagg shield before and the colors and the screen were hard to see in bright lighting, this one has not given me that problem.  The feel of your fingers sliding feels natural too.  I use a stylus and that works perfectly through it as well.  Very good product for the money. Fit perfectly on the screen and the pre cut holes were very well lined up.
