Just bought the original iPad last month. Still going naked... I've seen too many friends with iPads with the protective film on it... and it has lots of bubbles.

I'm thinking about a neoprene sleeve for it so I can just slide it in and out when I need it. I like holding the actual item in my hands as it was meant to be held.
Credit/ATM cards work wonders as a makeshift squeegee to remove air bubbles during appplication. I have installed protective screens on various touch sensitive devices with no bubbles. Another trick, work from one edge or corner up and pull off the backing as needed, not pull all off and then try to put it on.Just bought the original iPad last month. Still going naked...

That's because the filter wasn't installed properly. I've installed both glossy and matte protective screens on three iPads (including my own), not to mention iPhones and iPods, and all them them went on flawlessly.
Best to be a little OCD and protect your goods in case you ever want to sell them at a later date. If they are in near mint condition, it shoudl fetch a bit higher value.when i get my ipad i will be installing a screen protector and a skin cover for the back part and also getting a case/stand.
im putting down almost $750 for the 64gb model and i want to protect my investment with all that i can. when i got the zune HD, the first thing i did was install a protective case and the thing still looks brand spanking new. im a little OCD, so i cant stand scratches on any of my electronics.
