Screen protectors for 11" iPad Pro?

Actually, they are great for preserving the screen. But there are only a few made that are compatible with the Face ID. The cutout on nearly every screen protector (which leads me to believe there are only a handful of companies making them and marketing them through other companies) has the cutout for the front camera and the microphone. What they didn't realize is that there are the additional Face ID infrared sensors on either side of them. You have to look closely. I just picked up a ZtoTop brand from Amazon that has a larger cutout. I will update the post if the typing and touch is acceptable.

I have a glass one that works fine.

Here are two tempered glass screen protectors, for the 12.9” and 11” 2018 iPad Pro, from one of the most respected manufacturers - Zagg:

I installed the ZAGG tempered glass screen cover for my new iPad Pro 11” model and the sensitivity has been reduced — it’s pretty hit and miss, literally. The functionality has been reduced almost to the point of being unusable due to 1 out of every 5 taps not registering. The Apple Pencil II is not functional within any Adobe CC or other similar drawing app. It works as a stylus but requires me to stab at the screen at times. The screen cover is being returned to ZAGG, unfortunately, unless they can suggest a fix of some kind.

I have tried two Zagg screen protectors. Both interfere with Face ID and touch typing. I am waiting for one that will not interfere with the Face ID sensors. Since the 11 does not have the feature to change the sensitivity of touch enough, it is frustrating typing with the screen protector. I removed it and it works 100% reliably.

On the upside Zagg has a great warranty and return policy so if it doen’t work there should be no issue returning it.

I’ve had the 2018 iPad Pro 11” for several months, and I was waiting for the ZAGG glass screen protector, which just recently became available on the ZAGG.com website. I bought it and it was shipped to me last week. Ever since I put it on, Face ID does NOT work. Consistently the iPad tells me “Face ID Camera Is Covered”. I cannot use Face ID for anything, and am required to manually enter every password in every situation... horrible and frustrating. The Pencil is working fine with no discernible difference before and after the ZAGG shield was installed. I am going to be contacting ZAGG tomorrow and see what their response and solution is to this significant problem.

The irony here is that I have the iPhone 10s with the retina display and it works fine with the Otterbox Defender and the Lifeproof FRE cases. It also works with a glass screen protector or both in the case of the FRE. This is my fourth iPad and have ALWAYS used Otterbox as protection. However I have just tried my second Otterbox Defender on the new iPad Pro 11 and the dead spots are maddening. I would think that Apple could somehow create a software fix for this issue by adding a sort of screen calibration to the settings section.

I had to do that last weekend at the Zagg kiosk, they will hold back $15 of the purchase price as an installation fee. I returned it because the Face ID wasn’t working, but there was a small crack on the bottom that o didn’t gripe about because I was returning it anyway. Well, turns out the crack was in the screen! Thank God I bought Apple Care!

I did send one back and they replaced it. But the HD glass screen protector seems doesn't seem compatible with FaceID and touch sensitivity. The typing is certainly not a pleasant experience. The Face ID and touch is flawless without the screen protector.

That is what I try to tell users about any screen protectors.

Screen protectors, even glass ones, are overrated.

They do not always protect the iPad's actual screen from getting cracked or sustaining other damage.

Using this on a brand new 2018 iPad Pro?

Yup, 2018 iPad pro 11"
