Paperlike 2.0 (Previous Model) for iPad 10.2"- Screen Protector for Drawing and Writing like on Paper

I heard about the paperlike screen protector from a few artist friends... so once i got my apple pencil a few weeks back, I decided to take the plunge. It came in this evening, and thus far no complaints! I put it on my ipad, while following along with the video on the paperlike webpage. I havent used it much yet, but I did manage to test it out while working on my twitch stream layout this evening. So far, so good! I absolutely love the feel of it, they definitely did a wonderful job emulating the texture of paper. If you're worried about making the investment, because lets face it... its not cheap, just do it. I've tried other "cheaper" options, but this one already feels like it going to be much better. Other ones feel like sandpaper and destroyed my apple pencil tips within a matter of days, but this one just feels like regular ol paper! I'll update later on, with how it treats my pencil tips... but real talk, I dont think it will damage my pencil tips at all! just get the damn thing guys! you wont regret it! :D

I've started using my iPad for creation and ideation. Using the Apple Pencil to free hand concepts gives me a head start on approaches to solving novel problems and creative presentation tactics. The Paperlike changes the way the pencil feels (exactly as advertised) and restores the tactile feedback loop pencil and pen users are used to.It means, that writing and drawing on my iPad is exactly like writing and drawing on a pad of paper and I don't have to pay attention. Exactly what I need to let my mind wander and get creative.The clacking of pencil against glass and slippery surface are gone and that's fantastic.Installation is always trickier than desirable, but it went fine. I watched the installation video about three times and followed it carefully. The installation worked. The screen is as sensitive to my fingers as it used to be, as easy to see through and seems as easy to clean.I'm really happy with the Paperlike surface and won't be going to a different surface any time soon.

While the installation process was stressful, I found that installing it in the bathroom that’s still humid after a shower to be the trick, as the moisture prevents dust from kicking into the air. It took a while to get accustomed to the way it feels, but it’s wonderful now! My sweaty hands no longer drag on the surface, which is a big plus.

It was my first time installing the screen cover myself, so perhaps that's why I had some issues and got some bubbles. Other than that, it looks good and is easy to write on. I have doubts about the strength though. It is quite thin for a protectant. Will update after some time.

It's not great. After my first hour of using my iPad for drawing with this screen cover, it's already covered in a distracting amount of scratches. This is with a normal Apple Pencil, normal tip, and regular use. I'm already regretting taking off my previous nice glass cover to put on this one. If I use this all day, the scratches will affect the visibility.I hate it and wish I could get a refund.

I love and highly recommend this product. It is definitely a game changer for taking notes on the iPad despite you don’t actually need it. I love it because it does give me the feel of pen and paper which I appreciate and really like having that as an option when taking notes, it is easy to apply as long as you follow the video that’s inside the paperwork with the easy instructions. You really do get the best results if you follow those instructions. I love this product and and again highly recommended. I’ve actually purchased two of these items one from my iPad Air, and one from my husband’s iPad. Great product.

Easy to install and works great

The positives: anti-glare is excellent, matte surface is a dream to draw on in ProcreateThe negatives: Very difficult difficult to install, the how-to video is necessary to watch several times. Two pieces are included, a good thing, because you’re going to destroy the first one. The matte film pulls away from the screen when the backing is removed unless you carefully separate a corner first. You need to go much more slowly than video shows. Small bubbles (that trap invisible dust particles) are impossible to remove completely, which I found distracting. Carefully when using credit card to push out bubbles, ecause it can scratch the film. Finally, after a week of use, I removed it. Wasted money and time.
