Sorry! I'd meant to update this last night, but I still too busy salivating over my Fire and downloading/sideloading apps. (I am *seriously* in love with this baby!)
Anyway, I have a long-haired cat at home, so I ended up having to wait to install the screen protector at work yesterday noon. I'm glad I bought the Generiks pack with the choice (it has 2 clear and 2 matte) because, holding them up to the florescents, I could tell I'd prefer the clear. The clear protector went on fairly easily; I had to use the little squeegee thing to prevent air bubbles, but otherwise no problems. I'm really happy with how it looks. I can't tell it's there unless I really look for the edges and it doesn't hold back any of the brilliance of the screen/colors/etc. It just does what I was looking for it to do: cut down on some of the glare from external light sources and make it a little easier to clean off fingerprints. I'm not experiencing any problems with it affecting my swiping/selecting abilities either; if anything, I think selecting items from the carousel is a little easier now. All in all, I'd recommend the clear Generiks. ![]() (Plus, they're not that expensive, so they can be a good holdover if anyone is waiting for their favorite brand to make protectors available for the Fire. ![]() |

You know I don't use any screen protectors anymore on any of my devices. With the gorilla glass as tough as it is I trust it. I just don't want anything obstructing the beautiful screen. LOl... I guess for the glare I could see using them. But I read indoors most of the time. Plus when we are out in brighter environment I notice that turning up the brightness is sufficient.

I'm putting a screen protector on mine. I hope it helps with glare issues and brightness issues. They shipped my cover which comes with a protector yesterday. Can't beat that for less then $10.
![]() I find the screen too bright! I have it turn all the way down but in the dark it's blinding! ![]() Mantano works just fine it has it own brightness settings so I can get the screen as dark as I need while reading, of course going back to Mantano's library screen it's blinding with all that white! I have no complaints with the Fire then that and it's never ending carousel. It does what I need it to do. So I'm very happy with it. ![]() |

ive found that a good screen protector doesnt show finger prints or smudges nearly as much as without.

Me too although hubby and I had tug or war. He showed no interested in the Fire till bed time and when I was setting up Mantano he suddenly want to play Drag Racing on it!
![]() I told him he can play with the Fire before bed but I bought this for bed time reading. He told me to use my phone. ![]() So I had to let him play with it for 15 Minutes then had to demand it back. *sigh* |

For the most part--during the day--I've been fine with the brightness of the screen, but I did install that Screen Filter app that jswinden recommended and find that it helps cut down on the brightness quite a bit for using my Fire at night.

Well, hopefully you'll find another app or a protector that'll work for you. Good luck. |

![]() I hope they fix the brightness issue because I really like the Kindle Reader app minus it's lack of collections. |
