It is. I successfully placed the first one and I'm thrilled with it. No fingerprints, reduced glare. Easy application.

It just not much glare you are not going to see the difference I kind of like it I ordered this by mistake but I like it better than clear one before

It is NOT glossy. It looks like Carbon Fiber...not matte, but has a texture finish.

I think you'd have to call it Semi-gloss. It's definitely not Satin, but it's not super glossy either.

It's not matte, it's glossy. Mine is still holding up well, & "getting along" with my diztronic case, meaning the case isn't peeling up the corners of the protector.

No, it is more matted. My last one was shiny and I really liked it, but I like this one too.

Yes, I would say it is smooth and glossy. Not shiny or anything, but definitely not a matte finish like on plain kraft paper.

It's more matte, but a little shine to it. It looks very good on kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Just the right finish you would expect. It looks very good. Not what I would consider shiny.

As you can see from the other answers it's not shiny but more like black matte, it's prepared for paint but I use mine as it is, perfect.

It's not shiny but also not matte. very much in between. Like a semi-gloss.

No, I wouldn't call it a "matte" finish. But it isn't objectionable outside.

I would say more of a semi-gloss to gloss finish, definitively not a matte finish.

It does have a sheen to it, but not a high gloss sheen. Halfway between gloss and matte finish, I would say. It has done well on my bathroom cabinets, not a bright shine, just a nice sheen.

It is indeed odd. I'd say that this is a "gloss" like finish. I haven't used semi-gloss in a while so I might be off but I'd say it is glossy. Definitely not matte.

This is not shimmery - it is matte. I have a light complexion and this does not turn me orange.

Yes it is smooth and a bit glossy, but I have used it for hours and hours and it never had a glare or anything that bothered me while using it that I noticed.

No its not glossy, its more of a smooth sheen. I really recommend it highly, its thicker than most card stock and I got raves about the quality of my Christmas cards. Plus the price is reasonable.

It is definitely not a matte finish; tape appears glossy to me. It is the same package and tape sold in office store- only cheaper here.
