ESR2 Pack Paper-Feel Screen Protector for iPad Air 11 Inch M3/M2 (7th/6th Generation, 2025/2024), Write and Draw Like on Paper, Scratch Protection with Easy Application Tray, Thin and Responsive

I hardly ever write reviews, but thought this product warrants it. When I saw some of the other reviews I thought I must’ve clicked the wrong thing. I’ve literally just installed this on my iPad Air 13 and it’s perhaps the best experience I’ve had with all screen protectors in my lifetime. The installation tray and kit is so, so easy to use and super effective. My first try and it came out absolutely perfectly. The “paper” texture feels good and I don’t see any distortion due to the texture either. I do agree that protection wise this would probably not be nearly as strong as “hard glass” protectors, but I’ll take it. At the price and the ease of application it’s very hard yo beat this.

I’m so torn. The installation on this was by far the best I’ve ever encountered for a screen protector. The little tray and the system that have is genius. I originally wrote a bad review about how it felt just like glass and didn’t resist smudges at all. When a new protector came and I went to remove this one to replace it, I realized that it wasn’t on. It had come off with the last installation helper sheet came off. No, I didn’t notice. Yes, I feel stupid. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ANYWAY! The protector feels great and resists smudges wonderfully! Just maybe make sure the protector stays in place when removing the top helper sheet. 😅

First off, the installation; wow was this easy. I'm not that good at installing screen protectors because of a visual impairment. But this alignment tray made things so simple. I just had to take good care to properly clean the screen before installing it. But even that was a breeze using their included cleaning kit. And... even if you mess things up, there's a second one in the box for you to have another go with. It is literally idiot-proof - great for someone like me.Now the feel, it's good. It's my first paper-feel screen protector so I can't really compare it to anything else. But it definitely made my handwriting experience on my iPad a whole lot better. I have more control, it feels a lot more comfortable, and it's overall just great. I also appreciate that it's not so coarse that using the iPad with touch input isn't uncomfortable. I've tried using others' tablets before with really coarse paper screen protectors, I don't want that. And I'm glad to say, this product delivered. It's "just right" for me.I still have the extra one in the box should I need to replace my screen protector in the future. Great value, great product!

I use my iPad primarily for note-taking at school, and I found it annoying and difficult to take notes on a slippery screen. I ended up buying one of these "paper-like" feel screens and find it much easier to write my notes! It works perfectly, and does exactly as intended. There is zero glare, but it does slightly reduce the quality of your screen but I guess that's to be expected when you buy a matte screen protector. I did notice prior to having this matte screen protector, I used apply a lot of pressure when writing and I no longer do that.However, there are a couple downsides I have when it comes to this product. This isn't an actual screen protector, merely a layer to help mimic the feeling of writing on paper, so keep in mind that this will not provide any protection to your glass screen in the event it cracks. I didn't like having to take off my glass screen protector to replace it with this matte screen, so if you prefer protection over feel, then I suggest buying a magnetic paper-feel screen protector that goes over your glass screen protector (and this same company does sell one!).Despite it advertising having an easy application, I found that I had the exact opposite experience. Putting this on was such a pain, and the QR code they have on the paper instructions doesn't even have a working link. The written instructions do suffice, but if you're a visual learner it's a bit of an inconvenience. When pulling the protector over and looping it onto the peg, there was a lot of tension and the screen protector ended up lifting whenever I tried smoothing it out. I ended up having to lift the screen protector and readjusting it a couple of times and stopped following the instructions so I could get it aligned and all the air bubbles out. I took off the shiny top later that initially covers the front of the screen protector so I could clearly see the bubbles and push them out. Taking out the air bubbles were easier though, and after it was fully applied it takes a bit of give to attempting to lift up the screen protector.Other than the issues I had with application, I rate this a solid 4/5 stars. I personally wouldn't buy this again if I decided to get another iPad and would instead get their magnetic paper-like screen protectors so I could take it off whenever I didn't need to use it.

The screen protector is very good. I have been using it on my iPad M2 Air for school notes daily, and keeps it well protected from scratches from my Apple Pencil Pro. It gives just enough friction to make it comfortable to write but also comfortable to use with your fingers, which other paper-like screen protectors go overboard on. It keeps the quality of the tablet screen and colors very well, and reduces glare. I love it!

If you do art on your iPad, these are a game-changer!!These take the “slippery” feel off the screen to allow better control with your pencil. I also really enjoy the more matte look of the screen.
