Tips on How to Choose the Best Screen Protectors for iPad Air 5
Size
Normally, a screen protector should give edge-to-edge coverage to your device screen thus giving it maximum protection to your device. So, what you need to do is to find out if the screen protector will cover the entire surface of your iPad before making a purchase.
Perhaps, you were expecting that this particular option should not come first but then, without the issue of size being resolved would be difficult to concentrate on all other factors considered.
Material Type
Several types of materials exist for a screen protector and thinking of which, they are broadly categorized into two; the plastic and the glass type.
While the former is good, it may not offer the kind of protection you envisage. And because it is plastic, you mand it a bit difficult to it. And after a while, you’ll notice tiny marks from dings and scratches.
On the other hand, the glass type, although a bit pricey, is more reliable and durable. And it’s easier cleaning this type of material.

Durability
Nobody wants to spend a buck on something that won’t stand the test of time. So, you want to make sure you’re purchasing a screen protector that will do the job of protecting your device and also last long.
Here’s how you can test for the durability of a screen protector – by dropping it. Oh yeah, sounds a bit crazy, I know but that’s how it is. a plastic-type material won’t get cracked but it may get peeled and over time this will lose its sturdiness to protect your device.
However, if the glass screen type falls severely over time, it cracks. Multiple fissure lines leave your device looking unattractive.
Ultra-Clear Feature
You need to consider the clarity of a screen protector if you plan to use it for a long time – this is the goal, right?
So, you need to make sure that all of the dust, scratches, marks, and fingerprints need to get cleaned without having to interrupt the clarity of your screen.
Anti-Glare Feature
For every screen protector (both glass and plastic material type), it is required of them to have an anti-glare feature and this is because the AR coating has been designed in a way to keep the lighting from getting directly into your eyes.
Design
Now, this is the last thing you want to consider – the design. There are ample designs collections to pick from. Just be sure to choose one which will fit your iPad screen. In addition, check out the thickness levels (remember that the more the thickness, the better protection it offers) before making a purchase.
