Review on πŸ“± SPARIN [3 Pack] Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPad Air 4 / iPad Pro 11", 10.9 inch with Alignment Frame by Donald Cummings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Close by but not quite there in my opinion.

I needed a screen protector for my new iPad Pro and thought Sparin would be worth a try. Like many of these screen protectors, this one comes very well packaged. Each screen protector is packed in a foam bag and all other cleaning products are packed in a separate bag. An added bonus is that Sparin comes with an alignment frame. A typical installation will attempt to remove any dust particles from the glass before applying the protective film. This is always the hardest part of the installation. Once flawless, the click on the leveling frame sheds its own dust particles. I had to remove the frame several times to wipe away more dust. Fitting a screen protector inside the frame caused a problem as there appeared to be a small tolerance between the frame and the screen protector. The screen protector was placed too high, so I removed the bezel and screen protector and just fitted it by eye. In hindsight, I think the screen protector might have slipped under tiny alignment bumps during installation, but I ended up aligning it correctly, with just a dust thread on the edge that was easy to remove. good protection without compromising the clarity of the high-resolution screen. This should take a long time unless you're moving. Pros: Touch sensitivity doesn't seem to be compromised, so touch typing still works the same way. Clarity is excellent. The top edge is polished, not sharp. One day you will need more than one screen protector. Cons: Installing the bezel can be a bit tricky. YMMV Although light in hand, it seems to add a lot of weight to the whole device (iPad and case). The surface is slightly more reflective than the iPad's screen and shows slightly more fingerprints. The screen protector is a bit thick and the magnetic cover on my Zugu case doesn't hold either. I don't know if this will cause any problems when dropped, but a thinner version would be ideal. Verdict: Due to the weight and thickness, I'll probably look elsewhere at some point before considering fitting any of the replacement parts, but I'll leave this for now as it provides screen protection. I also don't have a pencil to test with, so I'll update my review soon.
