The iPad Air 5 is one impressive tablet, with a supercharged MI chip, 12MP ultra wide front camera featuring Center Stage, 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, and 5G compatibility. The screen is everything, so you'll want to properly protect it with one of the best screen protectors for iPad Air 5. Note that the screen size is the same as the iPad Air 4 and the 11-inch iPad Pro, so screen protectors are interchangeable. Here are our favorites.
Nicely priced
This well-priced screen protector has 2.5D rounded edge glass for a comfortable touch experience. It's tough, clear, and has a hydrophobic, oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints. You get two in a package, so you have one to share or keep as a backup.
Goof-proof installation
If you're like me, you get kind of nervous about installing screen protectors correctly. The Spigen EZ Fit auto-alignment installation kit makes it easy to get it right every time. The tempered glass is tough and has an oleophobic coating to resist prints.
Paper-like
Miss the feel of pencil on paper? Use your Apple Pencil 2 and this matte paper-textured protective film to get as close to that feeling as possible. You get two in a package.
Frame up
You get two tempered glass screen protectors plus a simple installation frame to guide placement. The ultra-hard glass resists scratches, and the thin, transparent glass is only 0.3 millimeters thick so your screen remains fully responsive.
Anti-glare
Get tempered glass screen protection with a matte finish to reduce glare while maintaining clarity. This is particularly helpful when using your iPad Air 5 outdoors in the sun. The oleophobic surface also resists fingerprints.
Privacy, please!
Keep prying eyes off your iPad screen with a tinted screen protector like this one. The tempered glass protects your iPad's screen, but the highlight is that you can only see through it when looking at your iPad straight on. People around you trying to peek over won't be able to read your screen.
