Introduction

The PanzerGlass® screen protector for the 2024 iPad Pro 11-inch (Model #2831) promises edge-to-edge protection with its ultra-wide fit. I’ve been using this protector for the past few weeks on my own iPad Pro, putting it through the paces of daily use. This review will detail my experience, covering installation, feel, performance, and overall value.

Features

The PanzerGlass® protector boasts several key features, including its advertised ultra-wide fit, designed to cover the entire screen without leaving exposed edges. The packaging claims a high level of scratch and impact resistance. It’s also advertised as maintaining screen sensitivity and clarity.

Performance

Installation was relatively straightforward, although I recommend watching the instructional video provided on their website to avoid air bubbles. Once installed, the protector feels smooth and barely noticeable. The touch sensitivity remains excellent; there’s no discernible lag in responsiveness compared to using the iPad Pro without the protector. The clarity is also impressive, with minimal impact on the display’s vibrancy and color accuracy. I’ve subjected the protector to several accidental drops onto various surfaces (carpet, wood floor), and it’s held up admirably without any noticeable damage or cracks.

However, during testing with harder drops onto tile, there was a minor scuff near an edge, suggesting that while it offers good protection against average daily wear and tear, it may not completely withstand all impacts. The oleophobic coating appears to be effective at repelling fingerprints, but it’s not perfect, requiring occasional cleaning.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Easy installation, excellent touch sensitivity, high clarity, good protection against minor impacts, relatively inexpensive compared to other high-quality screen protectors.
• Cons: Not completely impact-proof (scuffing occurred with harder drops), oleophobic coating is not flawless.

Final Verdict

Overall, the PanzerGlass® Screen Protector (Model #2831) for the 2024 iPad Pro 11-inch is a solid choice for users looking for everyday protection. It offers excellent clarity, touch sensitivity, and decent protection against minor drops and scratches. While it’s not invincible, it provides a good balance of protection and usability at a reasonable price point. I would recommend this to anyone seeking a reliable and affordable screen protector for their new iPad Pro 11 inch (2024).
