The eighth generation iPad (2020) has landed, offering a great Apple tablet experience at a low price. It offers possibly the best software that you can find on any tablet manufacturer, while the long-lasting battery and huge ecosystem of useful apps are sure to please the vast majority of users. It also has a very clear and colorful 10.2-inch display that is satisfactorily rich and vibrant, although not quite as sharp as the screen you find on an iPad Pro. However, like any other touchscreen, if you accidentally drop or hit it, it can crack.
Fortunately, we've rounded up the top five iPad (2020) screen protectors you can buy right now. This maintains the iPad's pretty display in one piece, and maintains the responsiveness and level of detail of the screen.
JETech glass screen protectors
The JETech Screen Protector for iPad (2020) is sold in a pack of 2 and offers all the technical data you need from a protector. It's made of glass with a hardness of 9H, which means it can withstand most scratches without showing a single blemish. The hardened glass is also very thin at only 0.33 m, which enables 100% transparency and a high degree of responsiveness. The protector is also fingerprint and dust proof, while it's designed for easy, bubble-free installation as it also comes with a stylet. Highly recommended.
Apiker glass screen protectors
The Apiker Screen Protector is another easy-to-use and extremely reliable protection for the iPad (2020). It has a hardness of 9H and offers your iPad the greatest possible resistance to scratches and cracks that is possible with tempered glass. It's also extremely thin, and 0.3mm thick ensures that it doesn't affect the functionality of the touchscreen or interfere with the use of the Apple Pencil (if any). This also gives it 99% HD clarity and 99% transparency, while the hydrophobic coating protects your iPad from water and fingerprints. It comes with an alignment frame to make it easy for you to use it properly.
Supershieldz Film screen protectors
Here is a screen protector for the iPad (2020) that comes in a high quality three-pack. It's not quite as heavy as other protectors on this list as it is made from PET film rather than tempered glass. However, it still protects the iPad from the vast majority of the abuse you are likely to throw at it. The fact that it's made of plastic rather than glass also means it's more transparent and delicate than other protectors, so you can keep using your iPad as if it wasn't even there. Be warned, however, that some buyers have warned of the difficulty of applying this protection (at least when compared to other products) as using PET film increases the chances of bubbles if you don't install it carefully enough.
Omoton glass screen protectors
Omoton's screen protector for the iPad (2020) is the thinnest protector on this list that is made of glass. At just 0.26mm thick, it offers as good as the greatest possible transparency and responsiveness you can expect from a glass protector, ensuring full compatibility with the Apple Pencil. In addition, it protects your iPad from everyday damage with a hardness of 9H. Unlike some protectors, there is no hole for the selfie camera, which is supposed to help protect the camera from dust and dirt. It also has a hydrophobic and oleophobic coating, which makes it resistant to water and fingerprint stains. Anyone concerned about the installation is designed to be bubble free. The slightly rounded edges make it easier to hold when applying to the iPad. Comes in a pack of two.
ZoneFoker glass screen protectors
This list is rounded off by ZoneFoker with an iPad (2020) screen protector. It is sold in packs of 2 and is another piece of tempered glass that has a hardness of 9H so it can withstand scratches from hard objects such as keys and knives. It also offers a transparency of 99.99%, ensuring that the iPad screen does not lose its gloss or color. ZoneFoker also claims that it is smoother than other protectors. Another nice feature is that it allows for repeated installations. So if you have a blister the first time you applied the protector, you can remove it and try again. Like other protectors on this list, it's also hydrophobic and oleophobic. Highly recommended and also well rated online.
