Ocushield Anti Blue Light Screen Protector for Apple iPad Pro 12.9" 1st & 2nd Gen (2017 & Earlier) - Blue Light Filter for iPad - Eye Protection - Accredited Medical Device - Anti-Glare

The plastic applicator was so thin and flimsy it popped off my ipad at the slightest touch, this happened 3 or 4 times, each time I had to painstakingly reclean the screen, finally as I was aligning the screen protector it happened again forcing me to trying relocated the applicator one handed whilst trying to support the partly bonded screen protector with the other hand, this resulted in the screen protector cracking (beware it is extremely fragile!), this protector was not a cheap product, and for the sake of investing a few pence more in materials or a better applicator design, the manufacturer could then have provided an applicator up to the job avoiding this problem completely! As there are no viable alternatives for blocking blue light from another supplier I now in the position of having to spend another £30 on a replacement, believe me I am NOT happy!

Have to admit I was reluctant to spend so much on this as I only see these things like a accessory.... but I do think if your using your iPad, phone or other bit of tech a lot you really should take the time to invest in something that’s gonna last a bit longer and make a difference and I have to admit this really has.I’ve read the reviews by others and was sceptical but to be honest instantly it made a huge difference especially if your spending a lot of screen time!All that being said it was easy to install especially with the guide provided and the helpful after care you get with this I do think it’s worth it to save the strain on your eye sight and also help with long term viewing. 10/10 For all the effort someone took to get this to the market, now if it could be brought down in price over time it’s a total must have for all long term tech users.

I am trusting the science behind this as I am hoping to use this for eBooks as well as general use and note taking - so my review concentrates on other aspects:1) Fairly easy to fit but take great care cleaning the screen first and removing all dust.2) The alignment template is just OK - not the greatest fit on my iPad Mini 6 but does the job.3) Be aware that the screen protector gives a very shiny finish which is not as aesthetically pleasing as the screen would be without the protector on. I have used a lot of protectors over the years and most are quite neutral in their finish. This one is really mirror like though especially when the iPad is powered off. I’m sure I will get used to it.4) Everything looks good in dark mode but not so good when dark mode is not selected. In light mode things look a bit washed out and whites look cream. The protective shield then seems to “float” above the actual screen which personally I do not like.

Bought this product because I use my iPad quite a lot for reading and playing games and was starting to get headaches - I hoped this blue light protector would help. I haven’t had it very long but, so far, the results are encouraging.The protector was of good quality and easy to apply. It does have a blue tinge to it but it has in no way affected the quality of the colours on my iPad. So far very pleased with it.

Having used this for 2 weeks now, I would say that when I first started using it, I noticed straightaway it was highly reflective, which surprised me as it is described as a matte finish in the product description. However, my eyes have benefitted greatly. Before, I rarely picked up my ipad air 2, as I couldn't use it for more than 5 minutes at a time without suffering really painful eye strain which lasted for two or three days. Now I can use it regularly with no eye strain, although it is not that easy on the eye with regard to the high reflection it gives off, but this is not affecting my eyes, other than it being a nuisance as I am continually changing the angle at which I hold the ipad in order to deflect the light. I will continue persevering with it, however, as it is obviously the 'price' I have to pay to combat the harmful blue light, so in that respect it is doing what it says.
