ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Macworld 2010 (Booth# 1260) -- Targus® Inc., maker of the world's top-selling laptop computer cases and accessories, unveiled today the new Targus Screen Protector with Clear View(TM) technology for the newly announced Apple iPad. Clear View(TM) technology is a patent pending technology that protects touch screen devices such as smartphones, e-Readers, laptops, etc. from fingerprints, scratches and smudges. With the added features of anti-glare treatment and specially formulated adhesive that prevents bubbles and peeling, it is the most comprehensive screen protector for your iPad available on the market.

"In addition to our current line of fingerprint-resistant screen protectors for iPhone 3G, 3GS & the iPod touch, Targus is happy to extend its product line to include the recently released iPad," stated Carolyn Perrier, vice president of accessories product management and marketing at Targus. "As touch screen devices become more prevalent, so is the need for keeping the screens free from fingerprints and smudges for optimum clarity."

The Targus Screen Protector with Clear View(TM) technology features a microscopic landscape of ridges and valleys that work to dissipate fingerprint oils, reducing fingerprints and smudges on the screen. These exclusive micro-structures also reduce glare so you can see your screen inside or outside, and when combined with the properties of the film, it creates a scratch proof surface. The specially formulated adhesive makes it incredibly easy to apply, and completely bubble-free. The Screen Protector is pre-cut for a precise fit on the iPad and all touch screen devices.

The Targus Screen Protector with Clear View(TM) for the Apple iPad (AWV1216US) will be available in April.

This and other Targus accessories are available at Targus.com as well as through leading retailers, VARs, e-tailers, distributors and direct marketers.
