I understand. Wasn't trying to be critical. I would prefer a protector with the same finish as the original screen myself. But it is only slightly stickier, and the bumpy surface can only be seen with light reflecting directly off it....which actually causes less glare. I guess I can give an extended suggestion for peeling off at 180 degrees: Use the Zagg card (or something similar) to hold the screen while the shield is being peeled away. This should help normalize the force while pulling the shield.
