Matte vs Glass — the e-ink verdict
Choose matte if…
- You read in bright light or outdoors
- You write or annotate with a stylus
- You want the paper-feel texture
Choose glass if…
- You prioritise sharpness over glare reduction
- You're rough on devices and want harder protection
- You dislike any texture on the screen
Installation — bubble-free in 5 steps
- 1.Wipe the screen with the included cloth. Any dust = permanent bubble.
- 2.Apply in a low-dust spot — a bathroom after a hot shower works.
- 3.Align one short edge first, then roll the film down slowly.
- 4.Push any bubbles toward the nearest edge with the squeegee or a card.
- 5.Small bubbles under matte film usually disappear within 24 hours. Don't peel it off immediately.
Common questions
Matte or glass — which should I choose?
Matte wins for most reading and handwriting use. The paper-feel texture makes stylus work feel natural, and the anti-glare coating is noticeably better in bright light. Choose glass only if you need harder scratch protection and don't mind a glossy surface.
Are X3 and X4 screen protectors interchangeable?
No. Different screen sizes — X4 is 4.3 inch, X3 is 3.7 inch. Always order the SKU for your exact model.
Does the X4 come with a screen protector already?
Yes — both the X4 and X3 ship with a matte film pre-applied. Hold the device at an angle under a light to check for the film edge before ordering a replacement.
Is there an X4 Pro screen protector yet?
No X4 Pro-specific film is confirmed yet — the store lists an X4 Pro magnetic case and protective case, but no dedicated screen protector. The Pro has a shorter body and a touchscreen, and X4 films are cut for the X4, so members are waiting for a Pro-specific SKU rather than forcing an X4 protector on. Check your unit first, too: the X4 Pro ships with a film pre-applied.
