Is it safe for me to use a screen protector on my MacBook Air M1 2022?
I saw mixed reviews, but I am curious as my case I ordered came with a screen protector and I want to know if I can use it.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

Hi,
I wouldn't use one. The tolerances are so tight that there isn't extra room to spare and any added pressure could lead to problems. I saw one thread with the M1 MBA about cracked screens with tens of thousands of views and thousands of "I have this question too;" I only read it for a few minutes, but people were stating they did nothing and their screens just cracked. I wouldn't want to give it any reason to crack.

I would not.
Don't close your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro with a cover over the camera - Apple Support
Using a camera cover, palm rest, or keyboard cover on a Mac notebook - Apple Support
But I am also inclined to slap any hand caught reaching for my display, too.
Don't use a case either:
can’t remove a hard case on macbook air - Apple Community
Cases and "skins" also impede the heat dissipation required to keep your Mac cool: Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support
