Do these screen protectors interfere with the capacitive touch?

These screen protectors do reduce touch sensitivity. It is most noticeable when typing on the keyboard when letters to not register and have to be tapped 2-3 times. I've had mine on for several months and noticed it within the first few hours of use, but thought it was just me being careless with screen touches. I recently swapped my black N7 with a white one and after setting up the white N7 without a screen protector on, it became plainly obvious after applying one on my new tablet.

I've had no difficulty using capacitive touch with this screen protector installed.

I did not notice any loss in the level of capacitive touch when I first applied the screen protector. But now after having used the screen protector for over 3 months, I have noticed that at times my Nexus 7 did not respond appropriately to finger touches. I had to repeat the action to get the response I was looking for. However, I had not cleaned the screen since first applying the protector. After cleaning the screen with rubbing alcohol and a soft tissue, I played a game of Mahjong which requires multiple screen touches to play the game. Every touch resulted in a response. The cleaning had apparently removed the oily build-up that had been left buy the thousands of finger touches and finger swipes. Not only did the response return upon cleaning the screen protector, I noticed that that screen protector appeared free of any contaminants of any kind, and it appeared smooth and flawless. Dirt and oil will build-up on any screen protector, and occasional cleaning will be required. I used rubbing alcohol as I did not have any of the Tech Armor cleaning solution that is developed for use with Tech Armors' screen protectors. As long as you keep the screen free of dirt and oils, you can expect nearly immediate response times to finger touches. When you notice more occasions to have to repeat your touches before a resultant response, it's probably time to clean your screen protector. Good Luck. Bryan

No. Not at all. Either with plain fingers or with pens nor with some of the new capacitive fingertip gloves.

I've only noticed it slightly and infrequently only when poking the screen (never when swiping).

I use mine with a "Tech Armor" screen protector with absolutely no problem.

I am not sure how this can interfere - the feature is part of the tapping on the main screen which is not covered by this case. I love the case and the on/off buttons, and volume buttons all work great thru the edge of the case.

I don't notice smudges on either of my iPads while using these screen protectors.

No! It does not interfere with screen protectors at all! I actually have a privacy screen protector on my phone and its fine with my case on.

I have not had any issue in regards to diminished brightness from using the screen protector.

No, but they are difficult to put on. I messed my first one up. Too many bubbles after trying to put it and removing it 3 times. So, I went online to techarmor.com/info/help to watch their instruction video. It helped me get my 2nd protector on with no problems.

I'm using them with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which has a capacitve touch screen. Don't know what type of screen your Surface has, but it definitely works well with the capacitive touch.

Nope, I haven't had it happen. I use a screen protector on my cell phone and the only thing that gets on my screen protector is my finger prints.

It does not interfere with touch screens. We have on our tablets and phones. Absolutely awesome product!

NO. The ones I received did not have the touch. If it's not in the description, generally it won't have it.

I have it on mine. Doesn't interfere at all. The protector doesn't go on the home button just around it.

You can only use special gloves that are touch screen compatible. Regular gloves do not work with capacitive smartphone screens. Case makes no difference.- iTech Accessories

The screen protector is pretty tight in the middle screen, but not as much in the corners, but I haven't had any problems with the functioning of the touch screen. No real build up of dust or any other particles inside the screen for me

From my experience the protector didn't affect the usability or sensitivity of the touch screen at all. Of course you have to install it yourself so depending on how good of a job you do will really be the deciding factor but if you install with care it shouldn't affect the touchscreen's performance. If you do purchase it just remember that a couple of days after installing it you will see air bubbles which will probably bug you. But they will disappear and you will hardly notice that you have a screen protector on.

It's capacitive just like you touching the screen, so if your fingers work through the screen protector, so will the stylus.

Hi LA Farmer! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) My sincere apologies for missing your question previously! The answer to your question is YES, and they will work beautifully with ANY touchscreen or capacitive device. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:
