Comparison
AUGO vs IKSTAR
IKSTAR sells a polyester magnetic screen, but the size language conflicts. AUGO's matching doors state the mesh and the fit separately. We pick AUGO.

IKSTAR has been in the magnetic-screen aisle for years. The polyester listing we checked, ASIN B07NVB4S6Z, is a real product with a real problem for a careful buyer: the title and a size field do not say the same thing. AUGO's comparable pages split "mesh measures" from "fits door" and then stick to those numbers. That is the comparison.
The size language
IKSTAR polyester screen (Amazon, opens in a new tab) is titled around 38 × 82. The technical details we saw say the size fits a door up to 38 × 81. One of those is the mesh, one might be the opening, or the page is simply inconsistent. AUGO fiberglass screen (Amazon, opens in a new tab) says the mesh is 38 × 83 and the door is 36 × 82. AUGO polyester 38 × 81 screen (Amazon, opens in a new tab) says 38 × 81 mesh and 36 × 80 door. You can audit AUGO with a tape. You have to interpret IKSTAR.
Mesh and magnets
The IKSTAR ASIN in this comparison is polyester. We did not verify a magnet count on it. A different, older IKSTAR listing describes 26 magnets, and we are not pasting that count onto this ASIN. AUGO's fiberglass door is fiberglass, and the polyester AUGO doors that state a fiber say the magnets run the full length. If you wanted a budget polyester curtain and you have measured carefully, IKSTAR can be the second page you open. It is not the page we would check out on.
Verdict
Editor's pick: AUGO fiberglass screen (Amazon, opens in a new tab) when the opening is 36 × 82, and the other AUGO fit lines when it is not. Choose IKSTAR polyester screen (Amazon, opens in a new tab) only after the live size field matches your smallest width and height and you have accepted polyester. If the page still disagrees with itself, close it. A cheaper screen in the wrong size is not a savings.
Questions people actually ask
Is IKSTAR a real brand on Amazon?
Yes. ASIN B07NVB4S6Z is an IKSTAR polyester magnetic screen. The title says 38 by 82 inches. A technical field says the fit is up to 38 by 81. That conflict is the reason we do not treat it as a drop-in for a measured door.
Does IKSTAR have a fiberglass model?
Other IKSTAR listings mention fiberglass, including a wide 58 inch page. We did not verify those specs well enough to put them in the main table. This comparison uses the polyester ASIN we could describe without guessing a magnet count.
Which should I buy for a 36 by 82 door?
AUGO's fiberglass screen, which states a 38 by 83 mesh and a 36 by 82 fit. Do not use the IKSTAR 38 by 82 title as if it were the same sentence.
