My favorite screen protector for art!

I LOVE this screen protector for my art! It feels just like paper and my Apple Pencil glides through it beautifully. The set up process is very easy, however a bit annoying when it comes to wiping the screen free of dust. I appreciate there being two papers in here since they do get scratched up a bit if you tend to get a bit carried away with your Apple Pencil, but honestly, the texture makes it even more paper like. Paired with the iPad Air screen, you won’t notice the tiny texture and scratches and the experience is even more paperwork with time; but I haven’t had to replace it yet! The set-up video instructions online are also very straightforward and simple. I’ll always go back to this screen protector for my art!

The Paperlike screen protector does feel like writting onto somewhat textured Surface, but ir does get scratched easily. Nevertheless, it does provide a mover confortable drawing sensation instead of using the Apple pencils directly on the screen. Be careful tho, because the rough texture may wear out faster the plastic pencil tip.
Aside of this, it comes with two protectors, which in our case was perfect cause we got 2 iPads

It is wonderful, better than I expected! Was hesitant at first for image quality, but you can barely tell once you’re used to it. It’s hard to put on, but with time and patience it can be done.

Initially, I was skeptical about the 'paperfeel' aspect of this screen protector, as it seemed to lack the promised texture resembling actual paper. There was hardly any resistance while writing, reinforcing my early doubts about its effectiveness in simulating a paper-like experience. My initial impressions, it turns out, were quite accurate.

Hi, sorry to hear you weren’t fully satisfied with your Paperlike experience! Paperlike is designed to help the user write and draw on their iPad like on paper. A few of customers have told us that, while the screen protector doesn’t feel exactly like paper to them, it correctly emulates that responsiveness of paper while writing and drawing.
If there’s any way we could help make your experience better, please chat with our Support team at help.paperlike.com.

They pay so much for advertisements and they dont provide the right tools to install this thing in your iPad. DO NOT BUY IT. Im left here with a screen full of bubbles and they expect you to use your own Debit or Credit card.

Hi! Totally understand your frustration. To get rid of air bubbles, wrap a dry cloth around your index finger and gently rub/move the bubble until it disappears. However, if you have dust trapped between your Paperlike and screen, there is no easy way to remove it. Please remove your Paperlike and apply the second Paperlike following our tutorial video (paperlike.com/pages/use-and-apply-paperlike). If you don't have a second Paperlike left, please get in touch with us at help.paperlike.com.

Although the screen protector enhanced my writing experience, the application was tedious, and nerve wrecking considering the price.
I wish they had an applicator system instead!
I would still recommend though, as the quality of the screen protector itself seems to great!

These are definitely higher quality than the ones you get off Amazon. Are they that much better to spend $47+ over the 10- on Amazon? Dont know yet, I just installed the first one and admittadly it was much easier that the cheap ones Ive installed before. They are also the first paperlike screen protector Ive ever got that is essentially smooth. All the other ones Ive had have a pretty noticable texture to them...these really dont. So we'll see, I sure hope they last longer than a lot of the ones Ive got from Amazon. So If these last 2months+ I'll be happy. Some of the others have lasted less than a day before starting to peel off.

We're glad that your Paperlike experience has been good so far. However, I'd like to note that Paperlike shouldn't feel smooth like you mentioned. Paperlike has a distinct matte texture, that resembles paper. Please reach out to our Support team at help.paperlike.com and they can help you more! Thanks.

It’s great, basically a matte, textured screen protector that works for artists. I did notice that nobody on Best Buy brought it up, but if you look at reviews elsewhere you’re gonna see a lot of other people mention the issue I had: Installation
It’s good that it comes with two, I followed the provided installation instructions the first time, and somehow ended up failing to fully transfer the screen protector onto the iPad, rendering the first protector useless. Going on a whim the second time was a lot easier, and somehow worked it out better than the initial attempt. Looking at other reviews over the internet it seems to be a common issue, which is fine I guess, but just be wary that you may be paying a premium for a single screen protector that will scratch itself up in due time.

This screen protector legit feels like paper! It makes it feel like you’re writing in a notebook! The only con (at least in my case) is that it keeps coming off in some of the corners, but nothing unbearable.

I love using this more than the glass screen protector because it feels like I’m writing on a piece of paper. Only best for people who are creative or write a lot on there iPad not the best screen protector for entertainment like watching videos and tv or gaming.

Really gives the paperlike feel on the iPad. I love it. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the installation is complicated, and hard to get it perfect.
