Best Amazon Fire 7 Screen Protectors (2017 Version)

In this buying guide we’ll explain why you need a screen protector for your Amazon Fire 7 tablet and share a list of the best protectors available. A good glass screen protector can keep your screen scratch free and your tablet looking new. These fit the Amazon Fire 7 and Kids edition tablets released in 2017.

Amazon refreshed its line of tablets last year with new features, lots of power, and a lower price. In fact, the Fire 7 (2017) version is one of the most popular, and it’s only $50, meaning you have money left over for accessories.

With a big 7-inch display a durable screen protector is highly recommended. There are several different Amazon Fire tablet screen protector styles to choose from. We’ve found some priced under $2.50, and others for $6, which is cheaper than buying a new tablet if the screen gets severely scratched or broken. High-end glass from reputable brands cost more or offer more than one protector. Perfect for the entire family to keep their tablet safe.

The cheapest screen protection is a film. This is a thin layer of durable military-grade material that’s typically scratch-resistant to some degree. One of these is better than nothing, especially if you don’t plan on using a case with your Fire HD 7. Films often scratch easily and peel off or discolor over time, which is why we recommend a tempered glass screen protector for your Amazon Fire tablet.

More expensive protectors use a chemically hardened and strengthened glass. This is what comes on your tablet itself, known as tempered glass. Reinforced and tempered glass protectors are extremely scratch and shatter-resistant. If it does break, the tablet screen is usually safe underneath. These are your best bet.

Even if you buy a case, and you should, a screen protector is still a good idea. A case won’t keep the screen safe from life’s daily hazards, keys or stuff in a kid’s backpack, or from general wear and tear. So, whether you bought one, or a 5-pack for the entire family, get a screen protector. These are the best screen protectors for the Amazon Fire 7 tablet available now.
