DX, amazon is less helpful when your car alarm won't shut off and you need a battery now. I'm not good with planning ahead of time for situations like that.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Compassionately intolerant
There is a RadioShack just 4 blocks from me. They've done a major image overhaul recently. Perhaps they'll be the Sprint variety. Right next door to the Kinkos/FedEx mash up. Just down the block from the Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins mash up.
Sheesh, it's the merger shuffle!
RadioShack was a huge part of my childhood. So strange to see them and Sears swung so low.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I still have a hard time reconciling buying Craftsman tools at K-Mart.

Bummer, but at least they're giving reasonable advance notice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Does the "fully laminated display" of the iPad Air 2 mean a screen protector is unnecessary? Cuz one thing I do not love about the screen protectors I have used with the good ol' iPad 2, is applying them in a 150 year old house full of dust and cat hair. Impossible to not have little particles float down and get between the screen and the protector as I put the the thing on. So it always has these little bubbles. It doesn't hinder funtion or anything, it just sort of takes the sparkle off my utter thrill at having a iPad.
Ok, it makes it harder to pretend I'm using a PADD.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The ipad Air 2 is supposed to have a coating that renders its screen less reflective, for outside viewing and a more matte appearance without sacrificing the resolution. It'll be up to the user to determine if it works for them; I've found that my iPhone 6 Plus is less reflective and less irritating in terms of seeing my own face, but I still am considering a cover for spills and the like.
One thing I've done, Wind, is take the device and the protector to Apple or Best Buy or whoever retails in your area (alternatively purchasing it there) and asking the staff to apply the protector for you. Then you're in a relatively clean environment with someone who's applied screen protectors many times.

Thrive to spite them
Windy a screen protector is still recommended. It's a little pricer but the ZAGG Glass Shield feels like the Gorilla Glass the iPad screen is made of it and it's easier to install.
Best Buy will install it for you, there's a fee but if they screw up the install you don't have to pay for another protector (at least that's how it is at my store).
The glass is also more smudge resistant.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have quit putting on screen protectors. Have not noticed any problems.
