iPad 10.2 Pre-Cut Adhesive Strips — iPad 7 / 8 / 9 Digitizer Frame Tape
Pre-cut adhesive strip set for the iPad 10.2-inch screen replacement. Fits iPad 7 (2019), iPad 8 (2020), iPad 9 (2021). Covers 11 Apple model numbers from A2197 to A2605.

Pre-Bond Check — Confirm Before You Order
Run this 8-step check before ordering. Confirms the adhesive is the right fix.
- Identify the iPad model number on the back. Look for A2197 to A2605.
- Confirm the screen size is 10.2 inches with a Home Button.
- Check the digitizer is intact. Cracked glass needs a new panel too.
- Look for lifting at the corners or edges of the screen.
- Press gently around the perimeter. Watch for soft spots or movement.
- Inspect the frame for old adhesive residue. Plan to clean fully.
- Confirm you have a heat pad or iOpener to soften old adhesive.
- Order this adhesive plus a digitizer if the glass is broken.
Install Notes — Read Before You Bond
- Disconnect the battery before any internal work. Standard ESD safety.
- Soften old adhesive with a heat pad set to 60-70°C for 5 minutes.
- Remove all old adhesive with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
- Lift sticky residue with a plastic spudger. Never use a metal blade.
- Frame must be 100% clean and completely dry before laying new strips.
- Touch only the strip backing. Skin oil weakens the bond surface.
- Lay each strip flush against the inner frame edge. No overhang.
- Apply firm even pressure for 30-60 seconds around the full perimeter.
- Cure under steady weight for 30 minutes for maximum hold.
- Skill rating: beginner-friendly. No scissors, no measuring, no cutting.
