Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really love this paperlike screen protector! So good when you are writing notes something.

If you’re heavily invested in pencil-based workflows on your iPad, I’d strongly recommend the Paperlike 2.1. It effectively bridges the gap between digital and analog, giving you that satisfying “paper-on-pen” feel while retaining all the advantages of the iPad. The trade-offs (a bit of tip wear, slightly less glass-smooth surface, careful install) are reasonable compared to the major benefit of improved control and comfort for long writing or drawing sessions. If instead you use your iPad mostly for media consumption, web surfing or casual tasks, you might find the difference less compelling and could consider a lower-cost standard or matte screen protector. ⸻ Bottom line: For serious pencil users, the Paperlike 2.1 is an excellent premium accessory that genuinely elevates the writing/drawing experience. It turns the iPad into a truly comfortable digital notebook or sketchpad.

Overall the protector does what it says on the box, the product quality is great and the texture is comforting. There is a reason that the video application guide advises you to be calm beforehand, the multi-sticker process could be properly explained beforehand (for instance I didn't know I first had to constructing a hinge out of sticker) and the unnecessary multiple re-placing of the previous stickers at several stages ended up delaying the final application so long the screen itself got tacky, dust stuck and I had to abort the effort. I had originally only expected a single protector and was paying more than I usually would for a 1-pack but I really wanted the paper feel. I was very happily surprised to find a second screen protector in the box, and now feeling like a grizzled, battle-hardened veteran from the first application, the process was much easier and I am happy with the final outcome!

[Employee of bestbuy] Absolutely fantastic product! Makes writing with my Apple Pencil Pro a breeze! Makes the screen protected firstly, and secondly, makes the screen feel like real paper and adds some much needed resistance! 10/10 product!

Its meh it is like paper for drawing but it scratches easy literally just put it on yesterday and it does bubble its so thin but its easy go get them out honestly

The Paperlike screen protector really transforms the iPad experience. Writing and drawing feels so much more natural—it has just the right amount of texture to mimic real paper. The matte finish also cuts down glare, making it easier to use in bright lighting. Installation was straightforward, and I like that it comes as a 2-pack for backup. The screen stays responsive, and I haven’t noticed any loss in clarity. It also protects the screen from scratches while keeping it clean. For anyone who uses their iPad for creative work, school, or digital notes, this is a must-have accessory. It really makes the Apple Pencil feel better and more precise.

Buying electronics and relating items can be scary due to poor quality. When buying from Best Buy, these worries are never present. I have been buying my C type charging cables from 5 Below they may last a month more or less. Come to find out that Economics should have been at my fore thought so I purchased high quality cables from Best Buy there is no comparison to other cables out there and the pricing. Higher wire gauge and outer wrapping with high quality connections.

Works very well and is easy to write on but a bit hard to put on

gliding of the apple pencil across the protector is so satisfying and truly feels like you're writing on paper. it's also just nice to the touch too. very smooth, and premium, you could tell this is high quality.

Great paper feeling but does scratch easily if your not light with the Apple Pencil.

Feels like paper and great screen coverage for the screen

Very natural texture and super easy to apply, came with good accessories to hemp the process

It has the right texture and its anti glare but it does kinda make the screen look a little weird. It does what I want it to do though. And there is a 2nd one it comes with if the first one gets too scratched.

I really like the screen protector. It is actually like drawing on paper other than other screen protectors, which are super smooth and my Apple Pencil just is really hard to use on, but this one is really nice because it’s almost like paper. It has a little bit of texture to

Don't hesitate, just buy it! This is one of the most functional accessories I have purchased for my iPad! We have multiple iPads and have bought a Paperlike for each of them! the pack comes with two screen applications in it, so they last an incredibly long time, and the quality is consistently excellent. Take your time, apply it well and you won't look back!

Excellent product and excellent instruction video on how to actually put it on right but the screen cover doesn't feel that much like paepr

The instructional video was very easy to follow! I had no trouble applying the screen protector on. I haven’t been able to use it yet for school/note taking, but just from the feel of it, it feels better for note taking than on the screen itself.

Following the instructions provided, l installed the protector myself, put some bubbles in it, but overall the paperlike feeling when writing is great! However, it is now pretty scratched up (after using it almost for three weeks )

This screen protector is easy to apply, fully transparent, and gives peace of mind.

Has a very paper like feel when writing on your pad. It also holds up well. I had the same protector on for over six months before I had to change it.
