If you have been looking for a screen protector for your device, you have come to the right place. Here we will share some of our personal favorites for the best paper-like screen protectors for your iPad Air 4 2020.
We will also discuss how screen protectors protect the screen from damage. Read on to find more.
Screen Protectors: Reasons to consider
You might think adding a screen protector will leave your iPad looking heavy or destroy its sleek look. But what hurts, even more, is seeing scratches and a shattered screen if you ever drop your iPad accidentally.
A screen protector may not be a complete solution to saving your iPad Air 4, but it certainly will prevent you from paying extra money for a screen replacement, higher than the cost of it.
Precaution is better than cure, and there can be no better testament to the statement that you can always afford to pay a small sum on a screen protector than to shell out thousands on the screen replacement. Benefits like heat protection, scratch protection, reduced glare, and more are some added reasons you should consider adding a screen protector to your iPad.
Prevents Fingerprints and smudge
A majority of screen protectors are oleophobic, which means they repel oil and fingerprints. When you have a screen protector, your original iPad screen remains smudge-free, clear, and fingerprints off the glass panel. Moreover, you won’t like to see it getting dirty and having to clean it time and again.
Full-Screen Protection
Screen protectors protect the full-screen area, thus protecting it from external damage and more. Though you may be concerned that it will interfere with the outer case cover, consider buying a partial coverage screen protector. Whatever you choose to buy, your screen will be safe from damage.
When you have a full coverage protector, you will get all-around edge-to-edge protection with curved edges. It helps provide clarity and remarkable touch sensitivity.
Resist Abrasion
Nowadays, screen protectors come with high hardness scale numbers. Many of them have a hardness rating of 9H, meaning they are more than enough and competent in protecting your iPad screen. Protectors with this hardness rating also protect your iPad screen from scratches.
