Ipad Pro 2018 11" - Screen Protector Issue

I've seen people comment on this. Fortunately, with both our iPad Pro 11, we have had no touch issues with either.

I and many other people are also having touch issues even without screen protectors.

WOW I thought there was something wrong with my iPad until I caught a article on the CULT OF MAC. Glad to know I am not the only one. Yeah the touch is not working for me 25% of th time, but no issues with Face ID

Yes, finally we’re starting to see reports “in-print”. Unfortunately, whilst highlighting a specific issue with the 2018 models, it still misses the wider issue affecting touch reliability for all iPad Pro models.

Perhaps now that “Apple Centric” technical press are writing about this issue, Apple will be forced to acknowledge issues that have been seriously impacting users of multiple generations of flagship” iPad models for at least the last 18 months.

The whole purpose of buying the Otterbox Defender series case was because of the level of protection it provides which includes the built in screen protector. If all I wanted was a cover, I could have stayed with the $99 Apple case.

I have had zero issues with an 11” iPad Pro used daily for the last two months with touch and ipencil and no screen protector. I use it at work for four to five hours a day and weekends for online classes. Zero issues

I recently purchased a 256g 12.9 iPad Pro. 2018 latest model. When typing the o hardly ever works. Why is that? I have an Otterbox for the 12.9 iPad Pro 2018. Which product has the issue? What can I do/ PAID 1000.00$

Hi! Thank you! I have the 12.9 iPad Pro 2018. The O hardly ever works. So annoying. Didn’t know if it was the otterbox case I have on or the iPad. I feel safer with the otterbox on but think I’ll try it without just to ease my mind.

If the Otterbox case includes a built in screen protector, then yes, it's the case. There are other case options which provide excellent protection, but don't include a screen protector you can get from Amazon.

I had one of those that fold backwards And close with a magnet. I liked it and still have it just a pain in the *** with the cover flopping or having to bother with when taking pictures. Plus it gets fingerprints. My 9.77 iPad Pro was in an otterbox n no issues. I didn’t even need a new one just wanted bigger lol!🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I took the Otterbox off and now have no problem with the keys at all. Too bad I paid 129$ for it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I put my old one on. Was wondering about a stylus. What about playing games? 🤔 how does the pencil work and will it work with my iPad? Thanks for your advice! I hate finger prints lol. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The same is true with the Otterbox. I have just tried my second Otterbox Defender case and having the same issues. The iPad works fine without screen protection, as soon as I put on the protection it loses touch sensitivity. I am contemplating returning the iPad because of this issue

Bought it I think on Amazon. Wasn’t in the stores yet. Past the return date. Works way better. Guess I’ll just have to be careful with it 😮 paid 1100$ so I knew the Otterbox was the answer? Nice not to retype everything with an O 🙄. Does the pencil work like a stylus ? N thanks!

I have used iPads for 9 years without a screen protector.

I just use good quality proretctive cases for all of my iPads to protect the entire iPad and screen.

I have been using stylii on my iPads since the my first, 2010 iPad and had never scratched the screen with any of the stylii I used.

The places these iPads have been have not been very dust or dirt free, either.

I do clean my iPad screens fairly consistently and regularly, though.

I use an iPad 2 with disc type stylii for nearly 5 years and have not put any scratches in the screen.

I use my over three year old iPad Pro with a softer, fine tipped Bluetooth stylus and have not scratched the screen of my iPad Pro, either.

I think keeping the iPad screens clean has been one of the main reasons for this not happening, though.

I took my otterbox off as it was awful having to fix anything I typed? Have just a pro case on it now but don’t feel it is protected. N hate when I take a pic I have to fold that back lol such problems huh but whatever.

No-one has brainwashed anyone. Is it that surprising that after spending £800 on an iPad we want to protect it? Maybe it’s not thrown around like a phone but it may go in a rucksack or have things stacked with it. Without a protector you do get micro-scratches over time, doesn’t matter how hard you try, even if they’re mostly only visible in strong light. It would just be nice if Apple acknowledged it’s an issue rather than pretend it’s not - and if it’s not an issue why did they replace my iPad without question? I am so pleased I’m not the only one having this problem so I know I’m not going mad - it was infuriating trying to type or doing things and finding it not responding properly. Gone back to the 2017 model which didn’t have these niggles and also has a headphone jack and stiffer chassis.
