Matte Ceramics Anti Fingerprint Screen Protector for Apple iPad 10.2 9th Generation 2021 (Model #1zawy11) Review
Introduction
The Apple iPad 10.2 (9th generation) is a popular tablet, and protecting its screen is crucial. This review delves into the Matte Ceramics Anti Fingerprint Screen Protector (Model #1zawy11), examining its performance and whether it’s worth the investment. I’ve used this screen protector for several weeks under various conditions, from casual browsing to more demanding tasks, to give you a comprehensive and honest assessment.
Features
The manufacturer highlights several key features: premium quality, high-response sensitivity, anti-fingerprint capabilities, and water/oil resistance. The “foldable and flexible Polymer Nano Matte Ceramic Film” is a prominent selling point, promising easy application and a snug fit. The matte finish is also touted as reducing glare.

Performance
Application was surprisingly straightforward. The film adhered well, minimizing bubbles. The matte finish effectively reduces glare, making the iPad comfortable to use even in bright sunlight. The advertised anti-fingerprint coating works remarkably well; smudges and fingerprints are significantly less noticeable than on an unprotected screen. The touch sensitivity remains excellent; I haven’t experienced any lag or inaccuracy during typing or using apps.
However, I did notice a slight decrease in overall screen clarity compared to an unprotected screen. This is a common trade-off with matte screen protectors. While not a significant issue for most users, those who prioritize absolute clarity might find it noticeable. The water and oil resistance held up to everyday use; accidental spills were easily wiped away without leaving streaks.
Durability-wise, the protector has withstood minor scratches from keys in my bag, a testament to its protective capabilities. However, I haven’t subjected it to any major impacts, so I cannot comment on its ability to withstand significant drops or impacts.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Easy application, effective anti-fingerprint coating, good glare reduction, maintains excellent touch sensitivity, relatively durable.
- Cons: Slight decrease in screen clarity compared to an unprotected screen, haven’t tested with major impacts.
Final Verdict
The Matte Ceramics Anti Fingerprint Screen Protector (Model #1zawy11) offers a compelling blend of protection and usability. The anti-fingerprint and glare-reducing properties are significant advantages, especially for those who frequently use their iPad outdoors or in brightly lit environments. The easy application and maintained touch sensitivity add to its appeal. While there’s a minor trade-off in screen clarity, the overall benefits outweigh this drawback for most users. I would recommend this screen protector to anyone looking for a balance between protection and usability for their Apple iPad 10.2 (9th generation).
