Invisibile Shield made by Zagg provides excellent screen protection: http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-invisibleSHIELD-Apple-iPad-Front/dp/B0038BZ8W8 After struggling with a few applications, I found this video which demonstrates how to apply the Invisible Shield. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPF0EelYHm4 It takes less than 5 minutes and will protect the screen from scratches. I seriously doubt it Ipad screen wears. Alex P. Kurth Assistive Technology Specialist ALS Association - DC/MD/VA Chapter Virginia Regional Office: 2807 N.

Of them, 2 have been going strong for nearly a year and another 5 have been working well for 6 months. We often recommend screen protectors but I can't say that everyone gets one. I can't imagine how the screen would actually "wear out". Does it lose touch accuracy or sensitivity?

I just received a call from a Dynavox Rep. explaining an ALS Clinic ( she did not name) was no longer recommending patients use iPad because of the screen wearing out following 2 months of use.
