Then that's a diffuser, not a matt cover. Matt ONLY applies to a surface and can be measured.

Describing anything at all of any nature as a "matt" when it has a high gloss finish is simply either a lie, or the marketing department doesn't understand English.

No doubt someone makes a matt screen protector, because you could retrofit matt filters on CRTs 40 years ago. But I have not yet seen a matt screen protector for a phone or tablet. Some are tinted, but that isn't the same thing. A polarising filter can reduce reflections from a screen, but unless its surface is matt it's nearly useless on a phone or tablet as the surface will reflect.

Plenty of screen protectors are advertised as matt, but they aren't. Obvious even from photos on web pages.
