Love this. Saves my Intuos Pro Tablet
Great product. I use my Intuos Pro Medium tablet daily and this protector works great. Wacom art pen works perfectly, glides easily across the tablet when protector is on. Easy to install.

easy to put on
Fits perfectly, easy to put on, doesn't interfere with use at all, at first it was weird to adjust to the smoother texture, but after a couple uses it feels normal, and my nibs are lasting Ages longer. Used to wear through one a month, but in the last 6 months I haven't had to change my nib out, and there's barely any visible wear on it.

Works great
I have the Wacom Intuos Pro medium tablet and this surface fits it perfectly and was easy to put on. I transport my tablet to and from work every day, and also eat at my computer from time to time. This gives me piece of mind that my Wacom is safe from scratches and crumbs. Great product.

Does the job but creates strange texture on the surface after a while
I've had this for as long as I've had my drawing tablet which must be about 3 or 4 years by now, and it has been doing the job for that long. I really like the way it applies to the drawing surface; as mentioned in the product labeling, there's only adhesive around the edges of the plastic, so there's no bubbling and the thin border area with the adhesive doesn't intersect the drawing surface at all. The edges have stayed completely flat on the tablet and don't peel; it's very easy to forget it's even there, since it fits perfectly with no border and applies very precisely. It also removes the weird rough surface texture the tablet naturally has, which is great.However, after you draw on it several hours a day for years, like I have, it starts to develop a sort of surface texture of its own from all the friction. You will never write a hole through it or anything, as the plastic is very tough, but the area that's been scuffed from constant drawing is pretty noisy to draw on. I doubt there's anything they could do to prevent this aside from perhaps making a protector of the tempered glass variety, and for a surface this big that might not even be a good idea. Either way, that's just something to be aware of. It doesn't really affect drawing in any real way, it just feels a bit different.At any rate, it's definitely worth it. No real reason to go about mucking up the actual tablet surface, the nibs grind down to a very sharp point without it and you will probably scratch the thing up.

Not at ALL what I was expecting
It's a super thick piece of plastic that's really glossy with adhesive only on the outside edges. The whole center of the protector just kinda flops there. Of course there's not going to be any air bubbles. The whole thing is an air bubble. And YES. I did attach it right. It feels like I'm drawing on glass which is an awful feeling and it's far too big for my tablet. NOT worth $10, especially since you only get one.I also want to add that so far, their customer service has been a nightmare about returning the damn thing. After I finally mailed it back to them, they stopped returning my emails and never processed my refund. I had to get Amazon involved (they worked it out because Amazon's customer support is fantastic). Normally I wouldn't tell someone not to get something, since I don't know their tastes (maybe you wanted a thicker, glass-like cover?) but this time I'll highly recommend against it. Don't support this awful company.

Lasted a few weeks before needing replacement
I do use my tablet 8+ hours a day every day, and after a few weeks the surface cover started losing it's gloss and became a scratch magnet. It worked well when it was smooth and it was easy to install.

Drawing a blank
This review is aimed for the occasional user, not the professional. Just to let you know, after a couple of months, my tablet is sitting on the shelf out of the way. The only thing I have been able to draw is a blank. Sometimes I can get the pen to work, sometimes not. I remain undaunted, and will figure it out eventually. Years ago, I designed Christmas ornaments using Adobe Illustrator. I learned to use a Kensington Turbo Mouse to do my line drawings, and continue to use it today for all my computer work. I've been drawing with my finger turning a ball for years, so using the pen is actually quite a change for me. I have to move my arm. Years ago I had an original serial Wacom tablet which I could never use, so I was a bit wary about getting this tablet. I am somewhat computer savvy, but when I started using a computer, there were no instructions. Along came Apple, and I switched from DOS PC's and was then able to do all kinds of stuff on my computer intuitively. I created a large collection of laser cut designs, published my own 4 color slick catalogues, and I always was able to figure things out by trying. I really expected this tablet to be easy for me to use out of the box. I wanted precision that mimics my actual limited drawing ability. I like to sketch. I expected a drawing program to come with the tablet that would give me basic drawing abilities immediately. I am somewhat disappointed that I now have to do a bunch of research, and spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to use this tablet. I'm currently putting it back on the shelf until I can take the time to learn how to use it. The "free" bundles that came with the tablet are trial programs. I signed up and I spent $25 for instruction that I really couldn't use, and I still don't know how to set the tablet up. I will write a second review once I take the time to learn how to use the tablet, but I'd like to let beginners know that this tablet is complex, and you will probably need to purchase a program specially designed for drawing if you want to mess around with the tablet. Intuos doesn't mean intuitive. I may give it more stars later because I think it is a high quality device.

Fits perfectly!
I wish I had remembered to go back to my purchases when I had to order a new cover, because this one is SOOOOO much better than the ones I ended up finding. It is smooth as all heck, attaches easily and didn't have problems with bubbles putting it on. I love it and will make sure to get this same one next time.
