This review is for the NuPro Clear Screen Protector for Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet | 10th generation (2020 release). This screen protector is one of the 'additional items' that are recommended when you look at the new Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet | 10th generation (2020 release).
I have only had the protector for a couple of days so what follows are my initial impressions. It is reasonably simply to apply this screen protector if you take your time and follow the instructions. Fortunately, the pack contains two screen protectors so you have a spare one in case you run into any difficulties when applying it. However, there are a couple of things I think are worth mentioning:
(1). I would caution against using the dust absorber that is also provided in the pack. It is extremely sticky and I found it not only absorbed the dust it also stuck to the screen with only the minimum of pressure being applied. When I 'unpeeled' it, it left a sticky residue on the screen which I had to use a separate cloth to carefully wipe (i.e. scrape) off while trying not to damage the screen.
(2) I anticipate the protector will provide protection against scratches (etc) but after just two days use I've noticed that fingerprints / smudges are already evident. Now I should say my views on this are biased as with previous tablets (and mobile phones) I have owned I have always used tempered glass screen protectors that I found are easier to apply (& with no risk of bubbles appearing) compared to this protector ... and glass protectors seem to not show as many fingerprint smudges. However on this occasion, I went with the recommended additional product advertised on the Amazon Fire page.
So while it is too early to say how this protector will stand the test of time, and putting aside the incident with the dust absorber, this protector is a good fit for the new Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet | 10th generation (2020 release) and does not dull the clarity of the screen picture in any way (finger smudges not withstanding).

I got these screen protectors at reduced price from Amazon Warehouse, which were described in 'As New' condition.I've bought other things from Amazon Warehouse before (and will again!) without a problem, but these were a disaster.1) The items were in resealed packaging as expected, but 1 of the 2 screen protectors had already been used. It had a fold in it, the protectives film had already been removed exposing the sticky surface that was covered in crud + hand prints, and had a fold / bend in it as per photo. This was only fit for the bin. Obviously somebody had bought this set, tried one and realised how rubbish it was, returned it for refund, and it was sold on again 'As New' without checking the contents.2) Undeterred, for the discounted price paid I decide to go ahead and apply the 2nd (unused) screen protector to my brand-new (spotlessly clean) Fire HD 8. I've applied loads of screen protectors to other tablets & phones, but this was easily the worst as it somehow went on with loads of air buttles + dust underneath. Totally unusable after a couple of tries to sort it out, it followed the other one into the bin.Don't waste your money on this flexible plastic junk. Get one of the laminated glass screen protectors instead. I've ordered mine so am just waiting for them to arrive now.Why didn't I just return it? Well I actually logged it as "Didn't Match Description", and Amazon began return process. For the £4 paid, it wasn't worth the hassle, and I didn't want some other unsuspecting soul suffering the same fate if it went straight back into stock for sale again without anyone checking it first.

Waste of money.
