Protecting your iPad’s screen is crucial, and with the ProCase 2-pack screen protector (Model Number: Padair4/5) designed for the iPad Air 5 (2022) and iPad Air 4 (2020), I set out to test its claims of superior protection and ease of use. Having used it for several weeks, I’m ready to share my detailed experience.

The ProCase screen protector boasts several key features, including a 9H hardness rating for scratch resistance, super HD transparency for minimal visual impact, and a claimed bubble-free installation process. The ultra-thin 0.33mm thickness ensures responsiveness isn’t compromised, and the rounded edges are designed for seamless integration with the iPad’s display. The package contains two protectors, offering a backup in case of installation mistakes or accidental damage.

Installation was indeed remarkably straightforward. The provided instructions are clear and concise, and the silicon adhesive made for a smooth, bubble-free application. The touch sensitivity is excellent; there’s no noticeable lag or delay in response. The screen protector’s clarity is exceptional, barely affecting the vibrant colours and sharpness of the iPad’s display. Over the weeks of testing, the protector has effectively protected the screen from minor scratches and smudges. The anti-fingerprint coating works as advertised, reducing the visibility of fingerprints and making cleaning simple. While it’s claimed to be shock-resistant, I didn’t subject it to any extreme drop tests. However, the 9H hardness has proven effective in preventing everyday scratches.

In terms of durability, it has held up remarkably well during everyday use, resisting scratches and smudges. I’ve found the anti-oil and anti-fingerprint coating particularly helpful, keeping the screen clean with minimal effort.

One minor observation is that, under certain lighting conditions, a very slight rainbow effect can be noticed at extreme angles. This is hardly noticeable during regular use, though.

Pros:

• Easy bubble-free installation
• Excellent touch sensitivity
• High clarity and minimal visual impact
• Effective scratch resistance
• Anti-fingerprint coating works well
• Two protectors in the pack

Cons:

• Slight rainbow effect visible under certain lighting conditions (barely noticeable)
• No included cleaning kit

Overall, the ProCase 2-pack screen protector for the iPad Air 5/4 (Padair4/5) offers excellent value and performance. The easy installation, superb clarity, and effective scratch resistance make it a worthwhile investment for protecting your iPad’s screen. The minor visual effect is negligible compared to its protective capabilities. While a cleaning kit would be a welcome addition, this minor drawback doesn’t outweigh the numerous benefits. I would confidently recommend this screen protector to anyone looking to safeguard their iPad Air 5 or 4.
