As expected, the brand new iPad Pro has arrived. Despite a low-key introduction courtesy COVID-19 outbreak, the iPad seems to have set the ball on a roll with a series of top-tear specs including custom-designed LiDAR Scanner, pro-grade camera and of course the support for the long-awaited trackpad. Needless to say, these specs appear to have made even the ageless MacBook Pros look old-fashioned – let alone PCs that are already struggling to match the beastly speed of the iPad. With these high-grade specs comes the responsibility to safeguard the iPad Pro. Having just wrapped up a lineup of the top keyboard cases for the new iPad Pro, I’m all set to round up the best 2020 iPad Pro screen protectors (for both 11-inch and 12.9-inch models), considering the ever-mounting repair cost of the retina display.
Best 2020 iPad Pro Screen Protectors
When it comes to offering a full-screen safeguard against scratches and bumps, tempered glass screen protectors have a clear edge over the liquid screen guards. So, we have chosen the high-grade screen defenders made of tempered glass. Boasting industry-standard hardness (9H), they are fully equipped to keep the retina display guarded against the usual suspects. Let’s explore the roster to get one for your all-new iPad Pro 2020. We have also included a special screen protector for people who styluses likes Apple Pencil with their iPad Pro. With that said, let’s get to our list, shall we?
1. ESR
ESR is well-known for producing strong screen protectors, and this offering seems in line with its reputation. Made of tempered glass, the screen guard is scratch-resistant and can also resist bumps. With the neat cutouts, it also doesn’t interfere with the microphone and front camera. As a result, the Face ID and the microphone will continue to work as expected. Being very responsive to the touch, the screen guard also works seamlessly with Apple Pencil, allowing you to take notes and sketch images.

2. Paperlike
What separates “Paperlike” from other screen protectors for iPad Pro is the Nanodots surface that features microbeads across the screen for enhanced sensitivity. As a result, the sensitive surface makes Apple Pencil vibrate slightly, giving you the feeling that you are writing on a piece of paper. Perfect for the folks who use the digital pen to take notes or sketch ideas with precision. Another front where Paperlike has an edge over rivals is the high-definition clarity that improves the viewing experience. And with the precise cutouts, the screen guard makes sure the microphone and front camera work without any hindrance. At $36.59, Paperlike screen guard may seem expensive as compared to rivals but if top-of-the-line quality coupled with high sensitivity is what you are looking, it’s worth giving a shot.

The 9H hardness plays a key role in helping it survive both sharp scratches and nasty bumps. Another notable feature is the 2.5D rounded edges which help the screen guard fit perfectly on the screen. If you use Apple Pencil for jotting down thoughts or sketching images, you would appreciate its touch sensitivity. That’s not all, OMOTON offers this screen guard in multiple packs, which make it one of the cheapest screen protectors for 2020 iPad Pro.
