Does this help with the glare?

I am pretty sure it is not an anti-glare screen protector. The one I have on my DX is not.
I think only the Ultra Fine one is Anti-Glare

The Ultra Fine is essentially matte and the Crystal Clear regular.
I have tried all kinds of matte protectors on different devices and find no matter how clear they say they are you will get fuzziness. I don't notice it when watching video but when reading the fuzziness, pixelation, whatever you want to call it gets really annoying. It is not just less clarity you see thousands of little dots on the screen.
I really prefer the matte look because hides fingerprints and almost zero glare. But until they find another way to create matte without the fuzziness I say stay away from it if you like to use your device for reading. If only use for games or videos matte is great.

I have had the same problems in the past with matte. It looks sort of glittery, mainly on white backgrounds. I was wondering if they were able to improve this yet. The matte screen protectors for my Fujitsu tablet were really good, need to find out who makes them.

Get the Crystal Clear. The ultra fine will ever so slightly distort the screen where as the the CC is like having nothing at all. These are what i buy for all my phones and now tablets.

Yes give us your review on this. I would love to hear a review on the matte. I have read the Steinheil is better than other mattes but still has the glitter effect. If someone ever can produce a matte without that affect I would be all over it as I prefer matte.
I ordered the crystal clear so I will give my take on that when it comes in next week.

Mini review for crystal clear protector
Install:
The film was quite thick. Thicker than the one for the inc but I guess they beefed it up. I started from the side and worked across the xoom. An extra set of hands helps and can push it down as you move across. I had a few specs of dust get in underneath and it was easy enough to pull up and remove them with the dust removal tape they supply. Once on I put my gel case back on and it didn't seem to affect the edges at all. Overall fitment is great
Use:
I had left the original film from moto on the xoom before. It felt a ton better now with the screen protector on. Screen responds better and is smoother to scroll you fingers around on. It is crystal clear. You can't tell its on there at all! Once again they show why their protectors are the best.
Everyone should get one of these

My what?
I bought the ultra fine. I just need a sunny day to see if it helps with glare but it def does help with not showing finger prints.

Does it look glittery?
The ultra fine does not look glittery.
I got the ultra fine and it's so so. Definitely affects the clarity. It looks like I'm looking through something... which I am. LOL. I love the no fingerprints though. Its a hard call. Right now the clarity thing isn't bothering me too much.
I was a little disappointed in my installation. I'm super picky and did it in the steamy room with the shower on and everything and still managed to get several specs of dust under it. I should have pulled it up and gotten them out but was afraid once I started that I'd just end up getting more under there or fingerprints accidentally. The protector itself is an awesome fit just hard to keep it clean while putting it on on such a large device.
