ESR 2 Pack Screen Protector for iPad Air 13 Inch (2024) M2 Screen Protector, Tempered Glass Film with Easy Application Tray, Scratch Resistant, HD Clarity
I’ve done loads of screen protector fittings and this was by far and away the best installation system I’ve ever seen. Super simple and perfect allingment with no bubbles. See picture attached.
This has to be the easiest screen protector I’ve ever fitted. It went on seconds, fits perfectly as advertised & looks & feels great too.
Hopefully I never have to put the protection side of things to the test.
Fitted to 2024 iPad Pro 11. Fitted in a steamy bathroom to capture any stray dust/fluff and just sits nicely with the Face ID + camera area exposed.
Easy to fit if instructions followed and thin enough to not be in the way or prevent things like Magic Keyboard from not being able to close fully.
Had various incarnations of these on a few iPads I’ve had over the years, and will definitely come back to them again for replacements or new iPads.
Screen protector was so easy to apply and gave great results. Has full coverage and a nice cut out for camera. Comes with full instructions and easy to follow. Great value for money.
The ESR 2 Pack Screen Protector for iPad Air 13 Inch (2024) with M2 Screen Protector is an excellent choice for iPad users seeking durable and high-quality protection. The tempered glass film offers superior scratch resistance, ensuring your screen remains pristine. The HD clarity maintains the vibrant display quality of the iPad, without any noticeable loss in visual performance. The inclusion of an easy application tray simplifies the installation process, reducing the risk of bubbles and misalignment. Overall, this screen protector combines robustness and clarity, making it a reliable and user-friendly option for protecting your iPad Air.
So I looked at the various types of screen cover available.
My main concern was applying a sticky one smoothly to the surface of the screen. I could foresee problems with alignment and air bubbles.
There seem to be 3 main types of cover, one that is like paper, so there is slight friction to stop the pen sliding about. One that is smooth and doesn’t dull the screen. And one that is a sleeve. The latter, it seemed dulled the colours.
The problem with the ones like paper is the very paperyness means that sticky fingermarks are even worse! So deffo not one for me.
I chose this armorite one, since once applied, no faffing about and a nice clear screen.
It is extremely easy to apply! It comes with a snug tray which you sit your ipad in. Having cleaned the screen thoroughly, you just unpeel (easy) and lay the screen protector over, run your finger down the line, wait a few seconds and the job is done. There were a couple of bubbles, but I just pressed these down and held for 10 seconds and they went away.
Whilst my fingermarks still appear, at least I can clean them off knowing I won’t be damaging the actual screen. Incidentally, the screen is very shiny – but the colours are not diminished in any way.
I can’t speak for the longevity of this screen protector. And I don’t know how the very edges of it will fare. but so far, so good.
I picked this screen protector kit up for my new iPad Pro 11″ M4 (2024).
It comes with an application frame, user manual, two screen protectors and two cleaning kits. Each cleaning kit contains an alcohol wipe, cleaning cloth and some dust removal stickers.
ESR have a tutorial online that walks you through the process. All you have to do is clean your iPad Pro with the wipe and cloth and then remove dust using the stickers. Then align the screen protector over the display and onto the frame peg.
I did get some bubbles during the process so had to lift the screen protector up slightly afterwards to remove them. I also managed to get two small dust marks under the screen protector (despite the display being dust free). Perhaps some dust landed after cleaning and shortly before applying the protector.
Still really happy with the results as the small dust marks aren’t that noticeable when the iPad is in use. Swiping and using a stylus still seems ok too (though I’m not an artist so not the right person to ask about that).
My main gripe with the kit is that only one alcohol wipe is provided in each kit. Alcohol wipes do tend to dry up quickly so I would have liked some spares in each kit in case additionally wiping was necessary.
Overall, happy with the purchase and can recommend it to others
This ESR 2 Pack Screen Protector for iPad Air 13 Inch (2024) M2 Screen Protector is a purchase you won’t regret. The tempered glass film offers a solid layer of protection to your device against scratches and light impact. The easy application tray that comes with the screen protector is a big plus, it ensures a hassle-free, bubble-free installation which could be a bit tricky sometimes. This protector gives you HD clarity which does not interfere with touch sensitivity or display quality, making it seem like there’s nothing there at all! One downside is that it might accumulate fingerprints if not cleaned regularly, but overall, it’s excellent in maintaining the pristine condition of your iPad screen.
UPDATED REVIEW: Following my initial review I was quickly contacted by ESR who wanted to learn more about my experience given I have used other ESR products without issue. I have to say, their customer service is second to none and Lenka was super helpful and understanding. A replacement was sent to me and this resolved most of the issues experienced. The screen protector is of a high quality and no doubt will do the job. I’d give ESR 10/10 for customer service I only wish other companies were as good at responding to their customers and resolving issues. Well done ESR!
INITIAL REVIEW: I’ve used many screen protectors from various brands for years on iPhones, Apple Watches, and other iPads, and they’ve typically applied smoothly. However, this 2-pack ESR protector for the 2024 iPad Pro 13″ M4 fell short. Despite carefully following the instructions, significant air bubbles plagued the first application. This resulted in a wasted protector and frustration. While the second attempt had fewer bubbles, one corner stubbornly refused to adhere properly, leaving a visible air gap. The “easy application tray” was easy to set up, but the actual application process was far from it.
Adding to the disappointment, I noticed a hair (not one of mine) trapped between the screen protector and the removable film when I removed it just before installation, hinting at a possible quality control issue with this particular batch. I wondered if this may have been a previously returned product but the packaging looked like it had never been opened. I’ve been a satisfied ESR customer in the past, but this product unfortunately did not meet expectations. The protector does seem good quality and nice to the touch, but the application failure means I can’t score it any higher.
The screen protector was easy to install, hassle free, came with all the stuff you usually need: Microfibre cloth, alcohol wipe, template guide for application etc.
The screen protector is reflective, on the IPad Pro 13inch M4, you can definately notice the lighting and reflective difference, if this is an issue for you then don’t buy it.
I can also confirm this screen protector works great with the new Magic Keyboard, the person who answered my question in the FAQ was wrong and not useful in answering with experiance/ facts. It of course will leave an equal space from keyboard to iPad when closed due to the added screen protector, but this is normal and causes no issues!
The down side to my Screen Protector is the air pockets shown which is all in a line and is located on the top left camera area.
The air pockets have nothing to do with dust or dirt underneath, as they move up, down, side to side when pressed, it also disappears when held down to the iPad with more force, which indicates to me it could be a manufacturing issue on this specific one i have, could be a slight warp i guess? I have emailed ESR about it to let them know of a potential issue for others.
Overall a 4 out of 5 due to the high reflection and weird air bubbles on my screen protector.
The application process was straightforward with no bubbles, a common issue with lesser quality protectors. It fits perfectly on my iPad, providing edge-to-edge coverage without obstructing the camera or sensors. The clarity of the screen remains pristine, and the touch sensitivity is unaffected. Highly recommended for any iPad user looking to safeguard their device’s display.
Irecently purchased the ESR brand screen protector film for my device, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Not only does it provide excellent protection for my screen, but the installation process was a breeze. The film adheres seamlessly to the screen without any bubbles, and the included installation kit made it incredibly easy to apply.
In terms of protection, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in fingerprints and smudges, which used to be a constant annoyance. Additionally, the film has proven to be highly scratch-resistant, keeping my screen looking pristine even after regular use.
The clarity of the screen remains unaffected by the film, allowing me to enjoy crisp and clear visuals without any distortion. Plus, the touch sensitivity remains fully intact, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The ESR screen protector film not only offers top-notch protection for my device but also enhances its overall usability. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to safeguard their screen without sacrificing clarity or touch sensitivity.
