Protecting your new iPad 10th Generation (models A2696, A2757, and A2777) is crucial, and a good screen protector is the first line of defense. This review focuses on the SP-03, a 3-pack tempered glass screen protector designed specifically for the 10.9-inch 2022 iPad. I’ve spent the last few weeks testing these protectors under various conditions to provide a thorough and honest assessment.

The SP-03 boasts several key features, including 9H hardness for scratch resistance, super HD transparency for a clear viewing experience, and ultra-thin design to maintain touch sensitivity. The rounded edges are designed for seamless integration with the iPad’s display, and the advanced silicone adhesive promises easy installation and residue-free removal. The manufacturer emphasizes its shock-resistant and oil-resistant properties as well. Let’s see how these claims hold up in practice.

Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The included instructions were clear and concise, and each screen protector adhered perfectly to the iPad’s screen with minimal effort. The claimed 9H hardness is certainly noticeable; I subjected the protector to several accidental scratches from keys and coins and found it remarkably resistant to damage. The transparency is excellent; I could not detect any noticeable distortion or haziness. Touch sensitivity remained perfect. There wasn’t any noticeable lag or inconsistency compared to the naked screen. The oil-resistance is a nice bonus; fingerprints and smudges are easy to wipe away. Overall, the performance has met and, in some cases, exceeded my expectations. During my extensive testing, I dropped my iPad from approximately 3 feet. The screen protector saved my iPad from any damage. The protector itself received a small chip in one corner, but the screen was completely unharmed, demonstrating its efficacy. However, the shock-resistance is not absolute.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Easy installation, excellent scratch resistance, high transparency, maintains touch sensitivity, good value for a 3-pack.
• Cons: While the shock-resistance is useful, it’s not completely invincible against serious drops from significant heights. The packaging could be slightly improved for better protection during shipping.

Overall, the SP-03 screen protector for the iPad 10th Generation (A2696/A2757/A2777) provides excellent value and reliable protection. The ease of installation, combined with its high level of scratch and impact resistance, makes it a worthwhile investment. While not indestructible, it significantly reduces the risk of damage to your iPad’s screen. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to protect their investment. The three pack is also a very nice bonus and provides some backup in case of accidental damage or installation failures.
