The matte does have that grainy feel at first. Took me a few days to get used to it. At first it kinda bothered my fingers but now i dont notice the difference at all.
Grainy wouldn't be bad to me, the others just always felt like it had a coat of dust of chalk. That-I couldn't stand.
Thanks for letting me know, wingzfan-I might have to look into one of those in the future.
