You could get a case with a cover, but if you’re like us here at WIRED, you like seeing the book cover and might prefer a cover-free case. But that leaves the display at risk, especially if you’re often throwing it into a bag with other items that could scratch or damage it. The best solution? A screen protector.
This one from Supershieldz is great. Former WIRED reviewer Brenda Stolyar says it’s so thin and matte that she’d forget it was even there, It has good touch sensitivity, so it won’t slow down your page turning. It comes with the tools you’ll need to install and maintain it, including a microfiber cloth, wet wipes, and de-dusting stickers. Stolyar says it was easy to install, but did leave behind a few air bubbles she couldn’t get out. She didn’t find the bubbles distracting while she read, but it might be a pain point for others. You get three screen protectors in a pack, so if you have the same issue, you can try again with another protector.
