Great Cover - Major Issue for 3rd Generation IPad

No need to rehash the strengths and and weaknesses of the Griffin Survivor Case. It's a quality product with one major flaw for the IPad 3rd generation. The screen protector offsets the wonderful imaging qualities of the new IPad.
This is a quote from a reviewer on another web site commenting on a competing product. However, this is a fine summation of the same characteristics I see of the Griffin Survivor Case.
"The screen protector that is built into the Defender (substituting Griffin Survivor) case is hazy and creates pinpoints of light and distortions making the viewing of the new retina display on the new iPAD a very unpleasant experience. The problems with the screen are most evident when you have a white background such as when viewing email or reading a book on the iPAD."
This is exactly my experience with the Survivor screen protector. I love the protection the product provides, but my choices are to either cut out the screen cover, use it in conjunction with another screen protector or return the product.
IMO, if you use the screen cover on the Survivor, you may as well save a $100 and buy the IPad 2 as the cover negates the wonderful display of the new IPad.
What's great about it: Solid Construction - Great Protection
What's not so great: Screen cover difusses image of new IPad
