POSRUS Antiglare Touch Screen Protector for Wacom Cintiq Companion 2

If you have a Cintiq Companion 2, you need this. My original thought was that if I was careful, I could get away with just the stock screen protector. Let's review the physics.Modern screen protectors are made of high tech materials that resist scratching by coins, keys, and even, some report, by knives. This is because the high tech plastics are loaded with silica and perhaps other oxides, that are harder than metal. But because environmental dirt is largely made of ceramic dust that literally comes on the wind, your Cintiq is liable to scratching that appears random. You "did nothing"; a scratch appears. What actually happened is that the pen nib embedded a tiny ceramic particle. Harder substances scratch/wear softer substances. Scratches are particularly likely with the felt pen tips, because they embed dirt.Which screen protector you choose is highly personal. Besides protection, you need to consider which is more important to you:a. antireflectionb. "tooth", the ability of the screen protector to provide enough friction for your drawing needs.Unfortunately, these two desirable properties are in contradiction to each other. Anti-reflection requires a smooth surface, or one with roughening at the molecular level, providing a "sticky" feel. For that paper feel, a surface with real tooth is required, because real paper has tooth. This is completely incompatible with antireflection. The result will always be the haze of looking through a lightly frosted surface.The Posrus protector has tooth. It would be unfair to give it less than five stars because it has the haze of a frosted surface. This is the choice you have to make. If you feel that you want to work in bright light, then you need a protector with these qualities:1. Either a neutral density gray or a circular polarizer.2. A smooth surface. Some of these surfaces have the technology to provide some drag, but it will always feel strange to the artist who craves paper.The stock Cintiq screen protect, which is so tightly bonded to the screen that there is no real point in removing it, has a slight texture. The Posrus has more. Because it has more tooth, itsmudges more obviously in response to finger wipes. Although I haven't had it long enough to tell, it may develop glossier spots in the surface more obviously/quickly than the Cintiq protector, simply because there is more tooth to wear.Applying the protector, especially in the dryness of winter, was irritating, but POSRUS can't be blamed. I recommend starting at a broad surface, rather than from an end. I do have some trapped particles. The gel adhesive has the ability to fill in minor imperfections in the original screen protector. Although there is a Youtube video of someone who removed the stock protector with a hair dryer, it is unnecessary except in case of extreme damage.I don't find the POSRUS protector's frosted appearance to be problematic in residential lighting. In a brightly lit SVA classroom (not a computer lab), it could be. But now that you understand the differences in screen protectors, you know you can't have it all. You could even change protectors seasonally, switching to a neutral density/circular polarized protector for seasons when you would work outdoors.

the little cutout in this sheet protector for the front facing companion 2 camera is misaligned, making it hard to take photos. i ended up just peeling it off and throwing it out.

So far so good. It's the least expensive screen proctor I've seen for WCC2. I dont know why the other companies are charging so much. There's no way I would pay $50 for a sheet of plastic. It actually feels better to draw on. not sure why, maybe it adds more texture. But I like it. I feel a lot better having this on since I already nicked my screen before buying this. I now use my tablet like it should be used, like a tool ;) Definitely worth it if you bought a WCC2.

Only comes with one screen protector, also tends to make nibs wear down a bit faster but doesn't scratch through screen protector. I like this product a lot, it stuck on the screen properly and also has the same texture as the original screen on my cintiq. I use my tablet regularly and I do recommend this product.

I am very happy that I got this so that I don't have to worry about scratching my screen. The touch functions works just as fine with this on.The only con is that these are incredibly difficult to get on without bubbles, so your screen will probably look less smooth.

Simply the best. Other products just come with too many problems, adds glare, too much texture, wear over time quickly. This one covers all those problems effectively.UPDATE: It now comes with a new strange texture...What did you do!!

very good protector
