Compulocks SHIELD Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPad mini 8.3" (6th and 7th generation)
9H tempered glassAnti-smudge nano-coatingUp to 60 kg load ratingFits iPad mini 8.3" 6th/7th gen
The Compulocks SHIELD DGIPMN06 is a tempered glass screen protector cut for the iPad mini 8.3" (6th and 7th generation), with a 9H hardness rating and an anti-smudge nano-coating for kiosks, retail counters, classrooms and shared business tablets. It is a single protector sized for this exact model family, not a universal trim-to-fit sheet.
Compulocks builds it for the same environments its enclosures and tablet stands go into: devices that are touched by many people a day, wiped often and occasionally knocked. The glass takes the scratches and impacts instead of the display, and it is the cheaper part to replace when it eventually chips.
Before you order: This glass fits only the 8.3" iPad mini 6th and 7th generation. Older iPad mini models (7.9", with Home button) have a different screen shape and need a different protector.
What's in the Box
- 1 × SHIELD tempered glass screen protector for iPad mini 8.3" 6th/7th gen
- 1 × alcohol cleaning swab
- 1 × microfiber cleaning cloth
- 1 × anti-dust sticker for lifting any trapped dust before the glass goes down
- Printed installation instructions (the cutouts and edges of the glass are used as the alignment guide; no separate alignment frame is included)
What It Means in Practice
- Install it in a clean, low-dust room: clean the screen with the swab, dry it with the cloth, lift remaining specks with the dust sticker, then align the glass by its cutouts and lower it in one movement.
- The 9H surface resists everyday scratches from keys, rings, tools and kiosk users far better than the bare display coating.
- Compulocks rates the glass to withstand up to 60 kg of weight, which is relevant for public-facing tablets that get leaned on or pressed hard.
- The anti-smudge coating reduces visible fingerprints and makes routine wipe-downs quicker on shared devices.
- When the glass is cracked or worn, you replace a low-cost protector instead of the tablet display.
What Will Not Work
- It will not fit the iPad mini 5th generation or earlier (7.9" with Home button).
- It will not fit any 10.2"–13" iPad.
- It does not protect the back, corners or edges of the tablet. Pair it with a case, bumper or enclosure for drop protection.
- It is not a privacy filter and not an anti-glare matte film: the glass is crystal-clear and keeps the display finish.
- It cannot be reused once removed; a lifted protector loses adhesion and should be replaced.
Key Features
9H tempered glass
High-grade tempered glass with a 9H hardness rating for scratch resistance on high-traffic and shared devices.
Impact-rated
Compulocks states the glass can withstand up to 132 lb / 60 kg of weight, protecting the display from pressure and knocks.
Anti-smudge coating
A nano-coating repels skin oils and dust, so fingerprints show less and the glass is easier to keep clean.
Precise touch response
Ultra-smooth glass keeps touchscreen sensitivity close to the bare display for everyday taps, swipes and typing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit if my tablet is in a case?
Compulocks does not publish a case-compatibility statement for the SHIELD line. Most edge bumpers and rugged cases sit around the glass, but very tight raised-edge cases can press on the protector edge. Tell us the case model and we will check.
Can I install it on a tablet that already has a film on it?
No. Remove any existing film or glass first and clean the display; the SHIELD must bond directly to the bare screen to stay bubble-free and keep full touch response.
Does it work with a stylus?
Compulocks does not publish stylus or pen specifications for this glass. Tempered glass protectors generally keep normal touch and pen input working, but if pen precision is critical for your use, ask us before ordering.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Screen glass is the cheapest insurance on a tablet that many people touch: it takes the scratches, cleaning chemicals and knocks that would otherwise mark the display. The SHIELD DGIPMN06 is cut for the iPad mini 8.3" 6th/7th gen only, so match the generation before you order. If you are kitting out several kiosk or counter tablets, browse our
tablet accessories for matching enclosures, bumpers and stands.
✓ Buy it if you run iPad mini 8.3" 6th/7th gen devices in a shop, kiosk, classroom or office and want a replaceable 9H glass layer over the display.
✕ Skip it if your iPad mini has a Home button (5th gen or earlier) — the screen outline is different.
→ Also consider a Compulocks rubberised edge band or a lockable enclosure if the mini will be mounted or handed to customers.
Not sure which generation you have? Send us the model number from the back of the tablet (A-number or SM-number) and we will confirm the right protector before you order.
