Amazon refreshed its line of Fire tablets in 2019, delivering a lighter and thinner product with Alexa built right into the OS. It’s a compelling option at $50, and that means you should have some money left over to spend on accessories to keep your new device protected.

Pairs nicely with a case
AILUN Case-friendly Screen Protector
If you only need one screen protector and don’t want to spend more than $10 to get it, you need to check out AILUN’s offering. It includes all the features you want in a tempered glass screen protector — it’s scratch- and shatter-resistant, features an oleophobic (oil-resistant) coating to prevent smudges and fingerprints, and is also compatible for use with a case.

Best value for film
Supershieldz High Definition Clear Shield (3-pack)
If you’re okay with a flexible film screen protector, Supershieldz offers three PET film screen protectors for the price of one made of tempered glass. That’s a great deal that will ensure you’ve got backups on hand if you don’t get the perfect installation the first time, or if your screen protector picks up some scratches and you want to replace it.

Keep your Fire 7 tablet properly protected
Now that Amazon’s tablet is fully integrated with Alexa, the Fire 7 can be that all-in-one hub for controlling everything that Alexa touches in your home with your voice or by touchscreen controls. Who doesn’t love a capable little $50 tablet that you can putt around the house with? At that price, you can (and should) tack on an extra $13 to protect the screen from the wear and tear of daily use.
If you want to go the tempered glass route, I recommend the Mr Shield two-pack not only because it’s the best price available. Mr Shield is a trusted brand that does a great job of supporting its products with lifetime replacements along with each package, including all the cleaning wipes and stickers necessary for a perfect installation.
For film screen protectors, you just can’t beat the value of Supershieldz three-pack. Film screen protectors can be a bit trickier to line up during installation, so it’s always nice to have spares readily available if things go sideways. Supershieldz is a reputable accessory maker that also does a great job backing up their products with quick responding customer service.
