iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) Screen Protectors
A iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) rarely gets dropped face-down onto concrete the way a phone does. What it does get is scratched — by a stylus nib, by a keyboard folio pressing shut, by being slid into a bag beside a set of keys. That changes what you should be shopping for: surface finish matters more here than raw impact rating.

For the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) that means choosing between paper-feel, tempered glass, matte / anti-glare and privacy. If you draw or take handwritten notes, jump straight to the paper-feel options. The difference isn't subtle.
What to check before you buy for the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
Stylus support
If you write or draw regularly, a paper-feel film is the single biggest upgrade you can make. If you mostly consume media, stay on glass.
Face ID / front sensor array
The cutout must clear the sensor housing. A protector that overlaps it can slow or break face unlock, so avoid trimmed-down universal sheets.
Touched constantly
Prioritise a good oleophobic coating. Budget glass often skips it, and the surface turns smeary within weeks.
iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) screen protectors — your questions
What size is the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) screen?
The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) has a 13-inch display. That figure is the diagonal measurement, so it doesn't on its own tell you a protector will fit, two devices with the same diagonal can have different corner radii and cutouts. Always buy one listed for the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) by name.
Which type of screen protector is best for the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)?
Paper-feel is the default choice for the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4). Textured film that gives a stylus resistance, for drawing and handwriting.
Worth knowing before you buy: wears down stylus nibs faster; softens the display for video.
How much should I spend on a iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) screen protector?
Somewhere between £8 and £25 covers almost everyone. Under about £8 you're usually buying glass with no oleophobic coating, which looks fine for a week and then smears permanently.
Above £25 you're paying for a warranty, a better applicator, or a speciality finish like privacy or paper-feel. Those are real benefits, but they're refinements. The jump in protection from nothing to a £10 protector is far larger than the jump from £10 to £30.
Will a screen protector fit the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) with a case on?
Usually, if you buy one described as case-friendly. Those stop fractionally short of the screen edge so a case lip can sit over the top without catching and peeling it.
Full-coverage and edge-to-edge designs look better but can foul thicker cases. If you already own the case, fit the protector first, then check the case clips down flush before you commit to a second one.
