iPad Air 10.5 (2019), iPad Pro 10.5

I could not believe the reviews when they said no fingerprints, but I wanted to see it for myself, and it’s true. It does put a matte finish on the screen but I just turn up the brightness whenever I want to compensate. I rather have that as a small drawback than having to constantly clean my screen. It would be great for kids! They could probably eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and not mess it up! Now, I do have a knockoff Apple Pencil and feel that if anyone have a pencil he or she may not have to clean the screen the screen as much if you are using that majority of the time. I still use touch screen a lot especially when exercising. Applying it was a breeze. No bubbles or lint. I applied it in the living room with the ceiling fan on. I cleaned the screen well and applied it quickly using the card provided to help smooth it down. When using the pencil it performs or responds like paper. Now this is crucial: I have already worn down two tips on my pencil and feel that if it wasn’t for this paper, I would have scratches on my screen due to the metal response located just inside the tip starting to show through! Not sure if Apple pencils wear down that fast, but just so you know. I also feel like I’m getting less blue light from my screen. Resolution is nice without this, but if you are on your devices as much as I am it’s beneficial to have less blue light on at least one of them. The screen feels a little different too. Some may not care but others may. It may take some getting used to. I already have to occasionally clean my phone and laptop screens (no screen protector on those), and didn’t want another device that I had to clean prints from. So this works for me.

Got this for my new iPad Pro 11 inch version and it works great. It’s so nice to use the Apple Pencil with this screen protector because it gives it a rougher feel and almost feels like writing with a lead pencil on paper. So pleasant to write with. As far as touch screen, it works great. It’s just as sensitive to touch as without it. I also like that it’s anti-glare and seems to keep fingerprints to a minimum. The only bad thing is that when my iPad is turned off it doesn’t look as clean as when it didn’t have the protector on it. I’m talking about after cleaning. Without the protector you have that nice shiny finish but with the protector it’s a dull finish and doesn’t look as clean. That, for me, is not an issue because once the iPad is on it looks great. Hope that makes sense.

This is the best screen protector to use with apple pencil. The texture is amazing, exactly like drwing with a pencil on a pad of paper. Before, I didnt like the feel of my palm sliding across the glass screen when writing or drawing but adding this screen protector fixed that. Now my palm glides smoothly across the screen as I work without leaving huge smudges all over the place. I highly reccomend this product if you're looking for something to add a little texture to your screen. For me, I couldn't imagine using the pencil without it. Plus, the customer service is top notch as well. I unfortunately had trapped some dust under the screen the first time and it was an eye sore. I contacted them about and they shipped me a new one immediately for free. Excellent response time and I really had the impression they wanted to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Tl;dr: best protector on the market for use with the apple pencil. Best customer service I've experienced. Highly reccomend.

1. Take your time with the installation. It helps to be in as dust free of an environment as possible. Carefully wipe all finger prints and dust from the iPad screen. Note Apple does not recommend using the additional alcohol wipe that is included with the protector. Just take your time with the dry wipe and your screen should be spotless within a minute or two. Follow the recommendations for alignment - they work well. It takes about 10-15 minutes to work the bubbles out from under the screen protector with the included tool. It takes a fair amount downward pressure and patience, but it is possible to work them all out from under the screen protector. This is a decent quality product and perfect installation is achievable with patience. 2. The anti-glare properties are fantastic! 3. Takes a bit to get used to the touch feeling with your finger. Its obviously not the same as the silky smooth iPad screen, but is pleasant enough to use as long as you are not playing a game that requires a lot of swiping around. Sensitivity of the screen is slightly affected, but not a deal breaker. Its just not as sensitive as the bare screen when using your fingers to tap and swipe. 4. Apple Pencil - The screen protector feels much, much better than the bare screen, but there is a fair amount of friction. During the first 5 minutes or so of taking notes I felt a fatigue in my fingers and hand that I hadn't noticed with the bare screen. However, after trying a few different positions, adjusting my writing technique a bit and adjusting the pressure I was asserting on the pencil I was able to write several pages of notes without feeling the fatigue that was present initially. 5. Overall a good product at a great price - I would recommend giving it a try.
