Protecting your expensive iPad Pro 12.9″ screen is crucial, and finding a reliable screen protector can be a challenge. I recently tested the Pad12.9 (Model Number: Pad12.9) 2-pack tempered glass screen protector, designed for iPad Pro 12.9″ models from 2018 to 2022. This review details my experience after several weeks of real-world usage, covering installation, clarity, touch responsiveness, and overall durability.

Features and Specifications

The advertised features include 9H hardness, super HD transparency, true touch sensitivity, ultra-thin design (0.33mm), bubble-free installation, and a strong silicon adhesive. Let’s see how these claims hold up under real-world use.

Performance and Usage

Installation was surprisingly easy. The included instructions were clear, and the application process was smooth and bubble-free, as promised. The protector adhered perfectly to my iPad Pro 12.9″ (2021 model). The clarity is excellent; I haven’t noticed any noticeable reduction in screen brightness or color accuracy. Touch sensitivity remains perfect; there’s no lag or diminished responsiveness when using the Apple Pencil or my fingers.

Over the past few weeks, the screen protector has withstood everyday wear and tear remarkably well. I haven’t experienced any scratches, even with the iPad being carried in a bag with other items. The oleophobic coating does a decent job of repelling fingerprints and smudges, although it’s not perfect and occasional cleaning is necessary.

I did drop my iPad from a low height (about 1 foot) onto a carpeted surface. The screen protector held up perfectly; there were no cracks or chips. This gave me great confidence in its protective capabilities.

The thinness of the screen protector is a significant advantage. It doesn’t add any noticeable bulk to the iPad, and the rounded edges integrate seamlessly with the device’s design. It’s practically invisible once applied.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Easy installation
• Excellent clarity and transparency
• Maintains perfect touch sensitivity
• Durable and scratch-resistant
• Ultra-thin design
• Good value for a 2-pack

Cons:

• Oleophobic coating could be improved (fingerprints still appear)
• No included cleaning kit (although standard screen cleaning supplies worked fine)

Final Verdict

Overall, the Pad12.9 (Model Number: Pad12.9) 2-pack tempered glass screen protector exceeded my expectations. The easy installation, excellent clarity, maintained touch sensitivity, and impressive durability make it a worthwhile investment for protecting your iPad Pro 12.9″. While the oleophobic coating could be slightly better, it’s a minor drawback compared to the overall value and performance. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable and affordable protection for their iPad Pro 12.9″.
