Protecting your investment is crucial, especially with a device as sleek and expensive as the Huawei Matepad Air 11.5-inch (2023). This review dives into the 1-Pack Huawei Matepad Air Screen Protector (model number FA ZFC448), a tempered glass screen protector promising robust protection and crystal-clear clarity. I’ve been using it for several weeks, putting it through the paces of daily use, and I’m here to share my honest thoughts.

This screen protector boasts several key features aimed at providing optimal protection and usability. The manufacturer highlights its 9H hardness, claiming excellent scratch resistance. It also promises 99.99% transparency for maintaining image quality, an anti-fingerprint coating for easy cleaning, and a bubble-free installation process. These are all critical features for a high-quality screen protector, and I’ll explore how well they perform in the following sections.

Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The included instructions were clear, and the alignment stickers provided were helpful. I experienced no bubbles whatsoever during application. The touch sensitivity remained unaffected; scrolling and tapping felt just as responsive as before. The clarity is indeed excellent; I’ve not noticed any noticeable reduction in screen brightness or color accuracy.

Scratch resistance has been impressive so far. I’ve accidentally brushed my keys against the screen a couple of times and there are no scratches. I haven’t subjected it to intentional extreme testing (like a key scratch test), but for daily use, it’s more than adequate. The anti-fingerprint coating is a significant plus. The screen stays cleaner for much longer compared to before.

However, while the screen protector has performed admirably, I did notice a slight decrease in the oleophobic coating compared to the original screen. This means that smudges are slightly more visible, and while the anti-fingerprint coating helps, it isn’t a complete solution. This wasn’t a major issue, but it’s something to be aware of.

Pros:

• Easy, bubble-free installation
• Excellent clarity and touch responsiveness
• Good scratch resistance for daily use
• Effective anti-fingerprint coating

Cons:

• Slight reduction in oleophobic coating compared to the original screen.
• Price point could be slightly lower.

Overall, the 1-Pack Huawei Matepad Air Screen Protector (FA ZFC448) delivers on its promises. The easy installation, exceptional clarity, and good scratch resistance make it a worthwhile investment for protecting your Huawei Matepad Air. While the slight reduction in oleophobic coating is a minor drawback, it doesn’t outweigh the benefits. I would recommend this screen protector to anyone looking for reliable protection for their device.
