I read a lot of people say it has a matte finish because of smudge proof. How does it compare to original version?

Not entirely smudge proof but a whole lot better than the original. I don't have to clean mine every time I turn around. I wouldn't have the original after using the matte finish ZAGG.

The smudge proof protectors does have a matte finish and comparing it to the original, the original is more shiny and thick. I don't personally care too much for the original because it is very shiny in my opinion

Yes, it has more of a matte like finish and it is not as clear as the original version. I prefer the original because of its clarity.

The original Invisible Shield is very shiny and reflective. The smudge proof version is a vast improvement, making the screen easier to see. It also really stops smudges and finger prints on the screen. I highly recommend the smudge proof version.

Yes, however this is the glossy version. I would get the matte, if I were you.

I really do not see much difference. The armor screen protector has a matte finish which is less reflective. I see that as an advantage.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

For the most part fingerprints are minimal, looks more like a smudge if hands are dirty, it behaves pretty much like the original glass screen w/o any protector at all. It is glass, you will get some smudging but fingerprints & smudges wipes clean even if u use ur palm. No, not anti-glare, but neither is the original screen. I can say that I will never use another film protector again...its wonderful!

It is a matte textured finish. You don't have to worry about it being glossy at all.

It's definitely more of a matte finish. . .no problems with reflective glare.

The finish does seem to keep finger prints off a little better, but it is not finger print PROOF. It does clean up easier than 1st generation brushed steel. I think for the money though, its a decent product. I hope this helps.

Mine adds some sheen to the tablet. You can definitely tell it's there visually. The feel isn't changed though. It feels a lot like the naked surface. I wouldn't say it's glossy so much as a lustre coating to use a term from fine art print papers.

Yes, It is a matte finish. You will have no luster or brightness after it dries.

No smudges or anything. Once removed its clean so no problem there. I like that it prevents cracks from getting worse. Nice feature.

Hey Vanessa, it has a glossy finish. Honestly, I find that it shows more smudges and reflections. I have the HD, but would get the standard one if I were to do it again. Other than this, the product performs really well though.

It is smooth but not glossy. It has a very light rough finish. It has an outstanding fit though.
