How do you choose a screen protector for your iPad?
Do you want to protect the screen of your iPad, but don't know which screen protector you should choose? You can choose between a glass screen protector and a plastic screen protector. A glass screen protector looks a lot like the screen of your tablet. A plastic screen protector feels like paper, which makes writing nicer. In this article, we'll help you choose the best screen protector for you.
Glass screen protector: invisible protection
Do you mostly use your iPad to watch series or simple tasks? Choose a glass screen protector. These screen protectors protect your iPad screen from scratches best. A glass screen protector can crack if the iPad falls. Your iPad screen will have been protected. With a glass screen protector, your screen remains sharp and colorful. You're more bothered by reflections when working outside or in bright light.
Plastic screen protector: the feel of paper
Do you mostly use your iPad for drawing or writing? Choose a plastic screen protector. All our plastic screen protectors have a surface that feels like paper, so writing and drawing feels nice. These screen protectors make your screen matte, so you can easily work in bright light. Images on the screen do look less sharp and colorful. Don't get a plastic screen protector if you don't draw much but instead mostly watch videos. With a plastic screen protector, the Apple Pencil doesn't wear faster than normal.
