Tech Armor Ballistic Tempered Glass Screen Protector Designed for Apple iPad Air 3 (2019), iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) Inch 1 Pack

I recently had to replace my ipad pro 10.5 under warranty which had the Anker screen protector. Key differences I could tell between them. Tech Armor covers the front camera, less thick around the home button—i think this is because it is a little bigger hole making your finger or thumb more comfortable for the touch ID. It appears maybe a mm or two larger thus depending on the case maybe an issue. I have mine in a rugged case and had no isssues. The nice part of covering the front camera is there is less to worry about when linning it up to install. Install was ok. They give you suction cups to hold it, but prefer to use painter tape to create a hinge first with it all lined up then pull off the cover to adhere. If you let the plastic covering the adhesive touch the screen you will need to wipedown the screen again and inspect the surface.Key to flawless install is very clean and dust free surface with good bright lights. I found the included wipe to clean was ok but then you really had to polish with microfiber cloth included. I prefer to clean it twice. Once with my own lens cleaner to get all the finger oils up, then use tech armor cleaning. You must be in a dust free area, the slightest speck of dirt will show through—so prep, clean location, no fans or vents blowing, etc. if a speck does show you can use your finger nail, or a credit card edge to slightly lift up the screen edge and use the included dust stickers to pick up the speck—do not touch underside with finger.The glare, clarity, and feel are the same. I use apple pencil for notes so I like the slick fast surface that hides fingerprints. The glare is more than the standard Ipad plain screen. If glare is a concern and you want a good protector that does not diminsh the image and glare reduced than your only choice is one made for pilots, ArmorGlas, that costs $50. Since I mostly use inside in low lighting, it was not worth the extra cash.As for durability, for over 8 months with Anker, and a number of hits with case on I had no issues or scratches. Time will tell on the tech armour. Considering a new screen on ipad pro 10.5 is $449 from apple these screen protectors are a must. Also realize that not many places will repair for much cheaper, best I saw was $379 on the web.Overall, I like this one better over Anker due to no hole for camera and feel around home button is better. Withholding one star because I have yet to see how well it resists scratches, cracking, glare, and overall durability.

Edit: After a month’s use, I have no idea how my protector has cracked since I have a thick casing. I found the glass to now be quite brittle and the chip off at one side is very rough. The claim doesn’t seem to be solid.Original: To start off, I got to repeat how excellent shipping is if fulfulled by amazon.About the product, I really liked how they included instructions and materials to use.My suggestion though, dont use them except the microcloth fiber. Used the cleaner but it added more smudges.What I did to install perfectly is to just wipe the screen. Take a lot of packaging tape or scotch tape and start cleaning the screen. The tape provided wasnt enough for multiple uses.Make sure you dont stay in a dusty place because it will waste all your efforts.Check which side is the sticky since the suction cups were attached to the sticky side in mine.Wipe the tempered glass with microfiber cloth. Peel the cover halfway, position, then peel all the way to the end, Making sure you don't touch your device and the sticky side.Was able to set mine, took about 5 mins for the whole process from unboxing.And seriously, if you’re not very good with your hands, don’t attempt since there really isn't any easier way of installing glass protectors.The area with the suction had bubbles but was able to remove them by repeatedly applying pressure going outwards with the microfiber.Touch sensitivity is also topnotch.I got to say though that there is no such thing as anti-fingerprint but this is better compared to others out there (4.5/5 in this aspect).Overall, I found this a very good buy.It fits well in my casing.I feel though that it could be a minuscule longer as it doesn't reach all the way to the end of my ipad pro 10.5”

Easy and flawless install, just take your time and make sure screen is spotless and speckless and work area is super well lit and set up in advance.I used the painters tape as a hinge method to line the screen protector up perfectly , there are several YouTube videos showing this method and it works great.Step one is actually to lay all your pieces out as needed , strips of painters tape, a few strips of packing tape and everything in the kit. Step two would be to thoroughly wash your hands with dish soap and dry them.Step three is attach painters tape to underside of iPad.Step four is line up the cover with its protective covering still on over the iPad screen and make make sure you have it exactly as it should be, then tightly wrap the tape over the on top of the screen protector. I needed the suction cup provided to open the cover back up like a book.Step 5 clean and clean and clean some more using the provided alcohol pad. And let dry and wipe with provided microfiber cloth.Step 6 would be to take your strips of packing tape and tap all around I actually wore a headlamp work light and shined it all over the screen looking for impurities. Just when I thought it was perfect I saw a speck using that method. Eventually I didn’t find anymore and it was time to install.Step 7 would be to peel off protective covering and without touching the side that’s attaching to iPad screen and flip it onto the screen, the tape already has it held in place where it need to lay down so you should be good . Once down press the middle of the new screen protector , you’ll see the magic of adhesion happening, most air should come out, just work out any remaining air, remove your painters tape hinges and bam. You too should have a screen protector that looks like it was factory installed like mine.Good luck!

This was the easyest screen protector I have ever fitted. I always fit a screen protector on my smart phone and tablet. This was easy to fit and easy to remove any bubbles. The touch sensitivity is perfect which is really helpful

I've had these screen protectors for all my iPhones and iPads over the years. Very pleased usually, but this one has just cracked for no reason. Didn't notice until I was cleaning the screen and the microfibre cloth caught on the edge of the crack. I'll still replace it was the same make though.

Easy to apply, and I've used Tech Armor many times before on other Apple products, and they've lasted. When I have had accidents they've worked exactly as the 'sacrificial' layer I want them to do, which saves me splashing out the obscene amounts of money Apple charge to replace the screen.

See Attached Pictures !!! Product was definitely a returned product which someone had opened and tried to use already, and then returned it as unused. Come on Amazon get your inspection process sorted and trace the clown that did this and get them banned. Screen protector was full of bubbles, hairs, fibres with the protective foil misaligned - clearly a failed install from the previous buyer. One other minor point the home button cutout was a slot rather than a circular cutout which I prefer. Real pity as I had the previous iPad Air v2 version of this product which was good. Refund requested.

High clarity glass and very smooth to touch, almost comparable to the iPad screen itself. Very easy to install despite the large slab of glass thanks to the two suction tabs included in the package, making aligning the screen protector to the screen a breeze. Highly recommended.
