1. SPARIN Screen Protector for iPad Air 4
I love the SPARIN screen protectors. They not only bring good protection but are also easier on the wallet. The same is true for their new screen protector for iPad Air. It uses ultra-thin tempered glass (0.26 mm) which protects the display while maintaining the compatibility with Apple Pencil and providing 99% HD viewing clarity.
The screen protector comes with an alignment tool in the box which makes it easy to install them, without encountering any bubbles. It comes in a pack of three, so even if you have a habit of changing screen protectors every few months, you can go without buying new ones for a while.
2. iPad Air (4th gen) Amplify Glass Antimicrobial Screen Protector
If money is no concern and you want the best screen protector for your brand new iPad Air (4th gen), you should buy the antimicrobial screen protector from Otterbox. Otterbox is a well-renowned smartphone accessory maker that is known for its quality of products. Their screen protector is one of the best in the market.
They have developed it in partnership with Corning (the company that makes Gorilla Glass), for bringing superior scratch and impact resistance. The screen protector uses the first EPA-registered antimicrobial glass that defends your phone screen against unwanted microbes. And everything you need for an easy and perfect installation comes in the box.
3. Paperfeel Screen Protector for iPad Air 4th Generation
While Apple has drastically improved the feel of Apple Pencil on the iPad’s screen, it is still far away from the feel of pen and paper. The Paperfeel screen protector for the iPad Air bridges that gap significantly. It is not perfect but you do get some of the friction that you feel when writing on paper.
It’s a PET-based screen protector so you are not getting the full protection of tempered glass. But you are getting a better writing and drawing experience, along with an anti-glare effect which significantly reduces the glare on iPad Air’s screen. The screen protector also reduces the rate at which the tip of Apple Pencil 2 erodes with usage, making it last longer. I also like the use of self-absorption adhesion that lets you remove air and bubbles even after installing the screen protector.
4. amFilm Glass Screen Protector for iPad Air 4
If you are looking for a tempered glass screen protector, you should look at the amFilm glass screen protectors for iPad Air 4. The screen protector is ultra-sensitive and keeps the original touch response, thus allowing you to use the iPad Air (4th Gen) with the same efficiency as the original screen.
The screen protector uses glass that is scratch-proof, resilient, crystal clear, and long-lasting. That means you don’t see any scratches and scuffs, and it will be able to handle minor impacts, without decreasing the viewing quality of the iPad’s screen. The screen protector covers the entire display while leaving a small area around the bezels to maintain case compatibility. So even if you are using a heavy-duty case for the iPad Air (4th Gen), you won’t have any compatibility issues. It’s a good screen protector, and you should check it out.
5. IVSO Screen Protector New iPad Air 4th Generation
If you want to provide 360-degree protection to your iPad Air at an affordable price, buy this screen protector and case combo from IVSO. The screen protector uses ultra-thin 0.26 mm tempered glass to bring the perfect blend of protection and touch-sensitivity. It can handle day-to-day usage without any problems.
The included case is no slouch either. The case uses a synthetic PC material for the exterior and smooth material for the inner lining to provide the iPad Air comprehensive protection against scratches, bumps, and drops. It also has a tri-fold flap at the front that magnetically attaches to the display. It supports auto screen on and screen off functionality and lets you prop up the iPad Air in viewing and writing positions. At $18.99, you are getting the ability to provide complete protection to your brand new iPad Air. You can’t ask more than that at this price point.
6. Supershieldz Screen Protector for Apple iPad Air 4
If you prefer PET film-based screen protector over the tempered glass screen protectors, you should take a look at this offering from Supershieldz. My favorite thing about this screen protector is that it has a special coating that reduces glare and fingerprints.
That means you get better visibility in bright light and don’t have to clean the display as often. It uses a high-quality Japanese PET film that makes it easy to install the screen protector and ensures that no residue is left on the screen when you remove it. It also comes in a pack of 3, allowing you to change the screen protector when it gets too many scratches, without having to buy a new one immediately.
7. Mkeke Screen Protector for iPad Air 4 2020
The Mkeke screen protector for the iPad Air(4th Gen) is another good option for people looking for a tempered glass screen protector. The packet comes with 2 high-definition tempered glass screen protectors, along with a guidance frame that makes it easy to install the screen protector.
It will protect your iPad Air 2020’s display from scratches, scuffs, cracks. It also maintains the original touch sensitivity of the display so you won’t have any problems while touching the display or using the Apple Pencil 2. The screen protector features an open-edge design that makes it case-friendly. It also has an anti-fingerprint coating that keeps the display clean for a long period. Overall, it’s a good tempered glass screen protector for the new iPad Air, and you should check it out.
8. ESR Screen Protector for iPad Air 4 2020
I have used ESR screen protectors on my iPhone in the past and I have always been satisfied with their products. While ESR’s screen protectors cost a dollar or two more than the competition, they are worth the extra expense.
It is a simple tempered glass screen protector that uses ultra-thin glass to maintain the original touch sensitivity and viewing experience. This can easily protect your iPad Air from normal scratches and scuffs, and can even handle some minor drops and falls. It comes with an installation frame to ease the process and uses a glue that ensures bubble-free installation. From my past experience with ESR’s screen protectors, I can recommend this one without any qualms.
