iPad Air Series Privacy Tempered Glass

Tempered Glass — adhesive and finish notes (iPad Air Series Privacy Tempered Glass)

The coating is tested on a worn sheet rather than a new one, because that is where fingerprints reveal themselves. An install kit in the box is not a nicety — it is what keeps the return rate down on a low-margin item. For iPad Air Series Privacy Tempered Glass, we hold the cut on file, so a reorder is a repeat of the same tool rather than a new setup.

Adhesive coverage is invisible in the box and obvious after a fortnight, so it is the specification worth pinning down before a bulk order.

Specs and checks that matter

• Coating: An oleophobic layer handles fingerprints, and its durability is judged on a used sheet
• Finishes: Clear for the brightest image, matte for glare and prints, privacy for a narrowed viewing angle
• Thickness: 0.33 mm is the usual flush fit; a thicker sheet trades profile for impact resistance
• Adhesive: Full-coverage adhesive avoids the rainbow patches and lifting that edge-only glue develops
• Hardness: 9H is a claim; real durability rests on the tempering process and the edge polish

Buyer questions

Do you still cut discontinued models?

Frequently yes; older tooling is often kept, so ask and we will check the file.

How does the sheet handle curved edges?

The cut follows the display radius, so the edge stays flush; a generic sheet would lift along the curve.

What thickness is standard?

Most ranges carry 0.33 mm for a flush feel and a slightly thicker option where drop protection matters more than profile.

Do you test the glue?

Yes — a lift test on each batch, since adhesive failure appears late rather than on arrival.
