The latest tablet in town is the 10th Generation iPad from Apple with a major design overhaul. The iPad 10th Gen gets rid of the home button and now looks just like the iPad Air. This also means your old screen protectors can no longer work on the new display. So, if you’re upgrading to the latest iPad, you will have to grab a new screen protector for the iPad 10.9-inch.
There are several options to choose from when it comes to a screen protector. With so many parameters to look at including materials, scratch resistance, adhesive, etc., it can get rather confusing. Don’t worry, though, as we have made your job easier by compiling this list of the best iPad 10.9 screen protectors.
Before we get to the screen protector, though, here are some other articles you may be interested in –

Let’s get to the screen protectors now.
1. SPARIN Screen Protector
The SPARIN screen protector is pretty much what you would expect from any tempered glass screen protector for the iPad. It has a smooth surface on the outside since it’s glass which means you can glide your fingers easily. This screen protector for the iPad 10th gen is just 0.3mm thick, so the touch response of the display remains unaffected.
While the brand claims a hardness of 9H, you’re getting 6H since it’s common glass and not sapphire. So, keys and coins will not do any damage but keep sand away from this screen protector.
Since the iPad has a huge display, we hoped that the brand bundled in an application tray which would make it easier to apply the screen protector. Nonetheless, this is a good option on a tight budget.
2. amFilm 2-Pack Screen Protector
Apart from the camera cutout, one standout feature of the amFilm screen protector for the 10.9-inch iPad is that you get plastic installation handles on either side of the screen protector that helps you align it in place. While this isn’t as convenient as an installation tray, it’s at least better than trying to figure out the alignment yourself.
Other than this minute (but helpful) addition, the rest of the package remains the same. You get 2 tempered glass screen protectors with an oleophobic coating which means you can also use it with the Apple Pencil without any issues.
However, it’s slightly more expensive than the first option but we would recommend getting this one solely for the alignment handles if you can afford to spend the extra that is.
3. ESR Screen Protector With Alignment Tray
Applying screen protectors is not everyone’s cup of tea. And that’s exactly why anything that makes the process easier is always welcome. The ESR screen protector includes an alignment tray that helps you apply the tempered glass screen protector in the best possible way. It’s not just about the tray, though. The quality of the screen protector you’re getting is also excellent.
The smooth oleophobic coating on the glass makes it one of the best iPad screen protectors for writing. So, if you have an Apple Pencil, you should consider this option. There’s no cutout for the front-facing camera, though. If you want that, take a look at the next offering from Otterbox.
4. OtterBox Alpha
There’s no doubt that OtterBox makes some high-quality accessories. However, they are also quite a bit more expensive than products from other manufacturers. The Alpha glass screen protector for the iPad 10th gen also takes this same route. It’s priced considerably higher but you can’t dismiss the fact that you’re getting a solid screen protector that can absorb impact well.
OtterBox has also provided a cutout for the front-facing cameras. So, if you want crystal-clear video, this is a good option. The oleophobic coating is also known to be good on Otterbox screen protectors; so it’s another great pick if you write a lot on your iPad using the Apple Pencil.
Further, OtterBox claims that the screen protector works well with all of its cases so it should ideally do well with any case you use.
Protect That Huge Display
The iPad’s large display is one of its biggest USPs so it’s best to keep it free of scratches or cracks. The best way to do that is by getting a screen protector for your 10th-generation iPad. Protect your screen and enjoy watching content on it for years to come.
