    So, I first want to say that I purchased this product after reading all the reviews. Even though lot of them had me worried about how the screen holds all the marks that your pencil makes, almost immediately. I put 4/5 stars because I am ultimately very happy with this paper-like screen protector. However, a few things grind my gears.. The installation process was one of the hardest ones I’ve ever done. I messed up the first one before even getting too far! I do understand that could have been user error but I’ve installed plenty of skins and protectors over the years and this one had me sweating. Second thing that I’m upset about is, in fact, the marks on my screen. The literal first stroke left a very clear and apparent track mark, not a scratch but a mark. I tried to simply wipe my screen with microfiber and other easy going tools and the marks stay there. Like I said, I knew about this going into it and hoped for the best. With all that being said, I would buy the product again but I would just try a bit harder on the installation. I have already gotten over and accepted the marks on my screen, they blend in just fine and I’d much rather have this *feel* and look rather than a traditional screen protector. This paper like protector is also really thin, making it seem like it isn’t there. My co-worker has a different brand and you can notably tell how thick it is. Ew. One thing that they could maybe include the installation guides that a lot of companies offer to insure a perfect install or just simply lower the price.. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

      Hi Bradey, thanks for your feedback! As you mentioned, scratches often turn out as traces of writing that the pencil left behind naturally. Usually cleaning your Paperlike with a damp cloth and a drop of dishwashing liquid should get rid of those marks. Even though you said you've already gotten over those marks, please chat with our Support team at help.paperlike.com, and they can offer more guidance (especially when you install your next Paperlike)! paperlike

    Paperlike Screen Protector for iPad

    So far I’ve been really enjoying the Paperlike screen protector for my iPad. It adds that paper-like feel when writing or drawing. The surface is matte which also reduces glare and gives you better precision when using the Apple Pencil. The only down fall would be that the screen protector can get scratched very easy but the added bonus of purchasing this item also gives you a spare screen protector for when this happens. Overall, great option for someone looking for a paper-like feedback or simply looking for a screen protector for their device.

    Accept No Substitute for Illustration and Notes

    Paperlike is the definitive screen protector/augmentation for the iPad. If you are looking to draw or take notes on your iPad but don't enjoy the feel of a stylus sliding across the glass screen, this is the product for you. The Paperlike helps it feel more like paper which is great for those illustrating with Procreate or Clip Studio Paint. It also helps maintain accurate colors. Do NOT buy this if you are just looking for a regular screen protector. This helps protect but its primary purpose is to enhance the use of a stylus like the Apple Pencil. If you don't use a stylus with your iPad, once again, this may not be for you. But if you like to draw, if you take notes with the Pencil, or make other use a stylus, this is a must have!

    I love a good paper like screen protector. And given the price of this one, I thought it would be high quality. I was wrong. Within three days of using it the screen is already so scratched up you can hardly see through it. Will definitely not be buying one of these again. (Fyi - in the picture, those rings around the flash are not from the flash reflecting, those are just some of the hundreds of scratches on my screen)

    Game-changer

    As a frequent user of my iPad Pro for both professional and personal tasks, the Paperlike Screen Protector has been a game-changer. Here's a detailed review of my experience: Installation: The installation process was straightforward and hassle-free. The package includes everything you need: two screen protectors, wet and dry wipes, dust removal stickers, and detailed instructions. The alignment stickers were particularly helpful in ensuring a bubble-free application. It took me about 10 minutes to install it perfectly on my first try. Writing and Drawing Experience: The standout feature of the Paperlike screen protector is how it enhances the writing and drawing experience. It truly mimics the feel of paper, adding just the right amount of resistance to the Apple Pencil. This tactile feedback makes digital note-taking and sketching feel more natural and precise. As someone who uses the Apple Pencil extensively, this was a significant upgrade from the slick glass surface of the iPad. Display Clarity: Despite the textured surface, the Paperlike screen protector maintains excellent display clarity. Colors remain vibrant, and there's no noticeable reduction in brightness or sharpness. Whether I'm editing photos, watching videos, or reading documents, the screen looks fantastic. Anti-Glare and Fingerprint Resistance: Another benefit is the anti-glare feature. It reduces reflections and makes the screen easier to read in bright environments, which is great for outdoor use or under strong indoor lighting. Additionally, the screen protector does a good job of resisting fingerprints, keeping the display clean and smudge-free with minimal effort. Durability: Having used the Paperlike screen protector for several months, I can attest to its durability. It has held up well to daily use without any scratches or wear. The fact that it comes in a 2-pack is a bonus, providing a spare protector for future use. Value for Money: While the Paperlike screen protector is priced higher than generic options, its performance justifies the cost. The enhanced writing experience, combined with the durable and high-quality materials, makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone who uses their iPad for creative or productivity tasks. Conclusion: Overall, the Paperlike Screen Protector 2-Pack for Apple iPad Pro 12.9" is an excellent choice for those looking to improve their iPad experience. Its ease of installation, natural writing feel, display clarity, and durability make it a top-notch accessory. Highly recommended for digital artists, students, and professionals alike.

    I recently purchased an iPad paper feel screen protector, and I must say, it has significantly improved my digital note-taking and drawing experience. The paper-like texture provides just the right amount of resistance, making it feel like I'm writing on actual paper. Installation was a breeze, with no annoying bubbles or imperfections. The screen protector is also fingerprint-resistant, which keeps the display looking clean. One drawback is that it slightly reduces the screen's brightness, but the trade-off for the improved writing experience is well worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this iPad paper feel screen protector to anyone who uses their device for note-taking or digital art—it's a game-changer!

    The screen itself is great. The application tho… not so great. I’ve placed many of screen protectors in my life time and this one was by far the most stressed inducing experience. If you don’t have a steady hand or place the sticker guides correctly it will look lopsided and unaligned. Don’t bend the packaging either, the screen protectors will have the crease and it’ll show. Aside from the set up the screen protector has a paper like feel that is amazing. Definitely would recommend if you can get someone to set it up.

    This screen protector is exactly mid; no more or no less. I gave it 4 stars because I appreciate the thought behind this product and it's execution of said thought is not offensive by any means. It's actually quite nice. It was the first thing I bought after my iPad and it came with a nice instructional video to help install it. Once installed, it felt way nicer to write with my iPad. However, I did begin to notice scratch marks a little too soon. I guess you really can't have your cake and eat it too. (sad) Overall, I would buy this again and will probably continue to so long as I have an iPad. I just had very high expectations for how this screen protector would feel and look.

    Great product, I like the feel of it when drawing and writing. It also doesn’t hold many finger prints as well, and it’s easy to clean! The only problem I had with this was the application, watch the video, and be sure you’re peeling the screen protector off the white film correctly! I failed miserably my first two attempts ruining my only two screen protectors, but customer support at paperlike sent me brand new screen protectors free of charge! Which was great because these are a bit pricy.

    I absolutely love the paper-like screen protector. As a tattoo artist, I use my iPad mostly for drawing, so the anti-glare, and textured surface are perfect for minimizing clicky sounds, and more closely resembling paper drawing feel

    Honestly, it’s not a true paper feeling but it is better than writing on the glass screen. I didn’t experience any fuzziness to the resolution on my screen and I did enjoy the application kit. It is easy to apply if you are precise and read the directions step by step. When my screen doesn’t have the paper-ish feel when writing, I just clean the screen and it helps the resistance, creating a paper like feel. I’m giving it only 4/5 stars because it’s not exactly like paper.
