Mothca Matte Glass Screen Protector for iPad Pro 11-Inch(2022/2021/2020/2018)/ iPad Air 5/ Air 4 10.9”, Anti-Glare & Anti-Fingerprint Tempered Glass

This screen protector is exactly what I was looking for! The matte finish reduces glare and gives my iPad Pro a smooth, paper like feel, which is perfect for drawing and writing with the Apple Pencil. It also resists fingerprints much better than regular glass protectors. Installation was easy, and the touch sensitivity remains flawless. If you’re looking for a high quality matte screen protector, this one is definitely worth it! Highly recommend.

I don’t often write reviews, but I’m so impressed with this screen protector I just have to let everyone know. First of all, I absolutely *hate* screen protectors. I buy them constantly and recognize them as a necessary evil for all our family’s various gadgets. Phones, Nintendo Switches, tablets, you name it... I’ve bought screen protectors for them. But I always hate them because they are never just right. The edges are too sharp, the fit isn’t perfect, the surface is too slick or shiny, or they have terrible bubbles. So it was with great trepidation and resigned fate that I ordered a screen protector for my new iPad Air 4. Before I even got the tablet in, I ordered a no-name plastic “paperlike” clone. I installed it, hated it, and peeled it right back off within minutes. I was worried about my spiffy new tablet’s screen, however, so I went back to Amazon and started searching. And searching. And searching. I stumbled upon this screen protector, the Mothca Matte, and ordered it even though it was more expensive than the others.It’s amazing.I mean, literally amazing.The satin texture is so subtle that you don’t even think about it until you realize that you really don’t need to wipe the fingerprints off your screen because there aren’t any. I’m a heavy user of the Apple Pencil 2, and this screen protector makes writing and drawing a real joy. It’s not like writing on paper, but it’s way better than writing on slick glossy glass. It’s perfect.Installation? Dead simple. I admit that I install more of these things than most people, but even so it’s sometimes a challenge to get it lined up and bubble-free. Not this time. Installation was effortless and it turned out absolutely perfect. I did end up with a very slight tilt to the angle of the protector, but it’s off by less than a millimeter, completely un-noticeable by anyone except me. Given that I did the installation by the light of a flashlight at my kitchen table after a very casual wipe-down, I’m ecstatic with the results.If you are looking for a solidly awesome not-too-slippery screen protector for your iPad.... here it is. The slight matte finish doesn’t blur your screen like the plastic films do. I won’t have to worry about scratches, and the stylus feels more natural and responsive. Get this screen protector.Update: Added photo; yes this is still an awesome screen protector!Edit Septemter 15, 2021: I'm getting ready to trade my iPad Air in for a new iPad Mini 6, and I'm hoping to find this same screen protector for that too. After all this time, the screen protector is still perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. It's awesome. Probably the best bang-for-the-buck gadget purchase I've ever made.

I love the feel on this protector screen. I was looking for a matte screen protector and this was perfect! Cleaned the screen before putting this screen protector and got no bubbles. The little boarder to help place the screen protector was a bit iffy because it would not stay in place. My protector is a bit off but least I got it protected. With my Apple Pencil, it feels like paper. There are hardly any finger prints on them. Value for money for what it is worth. Does not have privacy, which I wish they would make one. They also included a little bonus camera protector, but does not fit my model. But overall, I give it 5 stars.

I liked that the screen protector was relatively easy to install, especially with the included frame. Any bubbles left under the screen were easy to push out the sides. The screen protector itself is smooth and satisfying to the touch. It doesn’t eliminate 100% of fingerprinting as it’s still possible to create smudges on the screen, but it definitely still reduces the amount of fingerprints left. The only con is that it makes the tiny RGB channels of the screen more visible, almost like a noise filter. It doesn’t obstruct the visibility of what’s on the screen, it’s just noticeable. Overall I love the feel of this screen protector and it gives me peace of mind that I won’t break my iPad!

**UPDATE (5/5/2020)**I contacted the Motha Support page on Facebook through Facebook messenger, and got a response within about four hours! Support was helpful and apologized for the mixup, sent me a new screen protector within a few days. The new one is actually matte (uploaded a photo of it for comparison).As for reviewing the actual product (now that I have it):Installation was relatively straightforward and went well! I did it in the bathroom and instead of running a hot shower, I just used a spray bottle to spray water and I figure it eliminates dust about the same way as steam would. (Our bathroom connects to the master bedroom so I think any steam would just escape) No bubbles at all!The feel of the matte screen is really smooth and silky, and it definitely helps with fingerprints. I primarily purchased this because I use my iPad for school and the Apple Pencil gliding over a really slick glass screen protector was giving me wrist cramps. I wanted something that would provide a bit more resistance than a polished glass surface, but I didn't want to get the plastic Paperlike (also because I heard it eats up the nibs really fast, and that it feels more like writing on fine grit sandpaper.......). I also wanted the screen protector to be glass for more protection.The feedback that the matte screen provides for the pencil is VERY subtle, certainly not a sandpaper feeling, but it is there and sufficient for my purposes. For reference, with physical materials I typically use fountain pens which often glide very smoothly over paper as well, so I'm used to getting subtle feedback when writing.There is a bit of the rainbow-y grainy effect with the screen but I don't mind it that much - I don't need 4K resolution while taking notes anyways and it's not terribly noticeable.**OLD REVIEW (5/1/2020)**Unsure if I just got a defective product, but the screen protector I received is perfectly smooth like a pane of glass, not matte at all. This seems like false advertising and I'm really disappointed - even the packaging said "matte screen protector" but as you can see from the image, it's about as smooth, shiny, and reflective as any normal glass screen protector. Not sure where the "matte" is supposed to come in, this isn't matte at all.
