Megoo WriteGlass Paperfeel Screen Protector for Surface Pro 13 Inch

It was the late December of the Chicago deep freeze, when the wind howled down the Kennedy like the lament of lost Rohirrim and the Outback’s heater fought a losing war against the cold that seeped through every seam, that my Surface Pro stylus began its quiet rebellion against the naked glass. The tip glided too slick, too eager, skating across the screen like a hobbit on ice—precise yet joyless, the lines sharp but lacking soul, the sketches flat as though drawn by a hand that had forgotten the feel of parchment under quill. Every stroke felt distant, mechanical; the paper-like texture I once knew from notebooks long abandoned was a memory fading faster than the last light over the Des Plaines. I would sit in the dim glow of the dashboard, stylus in hand, trying to capture some fleeting idea before the battery died, and feel the frustration rise like smoke from a dying forge. Then the Megoo screen protector arrived—two sheets of tempered glass in their black-and-orange tomb, each one promising the impossible: the smoothness of paper married to the unbreakable strength of 9H armor. I peeled the old film away in the warmth of the kitchen, aligned the first protector with trembling fingers (no bubbles, no dust devils to mock my patience), and pressed it down. One smooth sweep of the included card, and it settled flawless, edges flush, no lift at the corners. The second I saved for the inevitable spare—because in Chicago, one never trusts fate to spare a single sheet of glass. I took up the stylus again that night, under the single bulb that had seen too many winters, and drew. The tip met the surface not with the cold slip of bare glass but with the gentle bite of fine paper—subtle friction that caught the stroke just enough to feel natural, deliberate, alive. Lines flowed as they should: shading built in soft layers, cross-hatching took on depth, the curve of a leaf or the arc of a bridge emerged with the quiet confidence of ink on vellum rather than pixels on a screen. The glass held firm—no scratches from the pen’s metal ring, no haze after hours of furious sketching, no ghosting when the light hit it slantwise. It protected without imprisoning; the Surface’s touch remained swift, the colors vivid beneath, yet every mark carried the tactile whisper of paper long remembered. I have drawn with it now through the gray mornings that follow brutal commutes, through the idle hours waiting at red lights on Irving Park, through the late nights when the city sleeps and only the stylus moves. The protector endures the salt spray on the windshield, the accidental elbow from the passenger seat, the dog’s curious nose pressing against the screen when he rides shotgun. It does not crack, does not peel, does not surrender its paper-like grip even when the stylus dances fastest. Drawing feels more natural—like on paper—because it is no longer fighting the glass; it is dancing with it. If your Surface Pro has become a battlefield where the stylus slides like a traitor and the sketches lack heart—if the Chicago cold has stolen the joy from your lines—take this Megoo protector. It is not mere glass; it is covenant between pen and screen, a tempered veil raised against the treacheries of slick surfaces and careless knocks, the fellowship your stylus has hungered for when the winter presses in and the ideas refuse to flow. Ten stars out of five, though the heavens are miserly with such reckonings. I would sketch the maps of Mordor upon it and fear no slip on the long road to Rivendell. 🖌️🧙‍♂️📱❄️

I’ve bought many paper-like screen protectors for tablets over the years. By far this is the best one. It’s matte on glass instead of plastic. It went on well and seems very durable. I highly recommend.

Easy to apply. Fit my tablet perfectly. Do not like the rought surface. Would much rather keep the screen smooth. Does not bubble at all.

When I first got my Surface Pro 11, I was horrified to see all the skin oil smears over the screen that first night. Usually I don't get a screen protector for tablet devices, but for me this served alternate purposes. 1. It makes the screen matte, so it's not constantly reflecting ambient light distracting me in indoor settings. 2. It is very fingerprint resistant. 3. The protection for the screen is just a bonus. Highly recommend if you don't want to be constantly wiping oil from your screen, or if you need a matte surface. I notice no degradation of image quality or touch sensitivity. In fact, it helps my pen usage insofar as it feels a little more like natural paper when writing on screen.

This screen protector feels very high quality, especially for the price and the fact that you get 2 included in the package. The tempered glass makes it feel premium, unlike the cheap thin plastic or film feeling you get with other screen protectors. The matte texture of the glass feels very paper-like and makes writing on it with the surface pen a lot more enjoyable. It’s got a precise fit and a VERY easy installation, I was left with absolutely zero bubbles after applying. I highly recommend this product.

The installation stickers were on the wrong sides of the screen protector which resulted in me attempting to install it backwards which needless to say failed. I reversed it with the second protector and everything worked fine. However, I did contact MEGOO about the problem and they quickly replied that they were looking into the issue and sent out 2 replacement protectors. The anti glare is really good and I'll buy from them again based on their great customer response.

So this is a mixed bag. Overall, I am happy with it, but may look for something else. The application was super easy and I didn't have any persisting bubbles that couldn't be squeegeed out. It does leave a slight grain that diminishes the quality of the display (especially in solid white or black backgrounds). Pen and touch input also work as expected and I have no problem with the functionality of the screen protector. My main issue is the fact that the screen protector feels so rough. If you've ever used other matte protectors like Paperlike, this has 10x more grit. It does feel weird to the touch and if you plan on using the pen, be prepared to purchase additional tips much quicker than usual.

The results are exactly what I was looking for. The paper like surface is great for writing and drawing with a pen, but I seldom use that feature. I bought this protector to help diffuse the reflections off the Surface’s glass screen, and it really helps.

Cuts glare and gives better friction for pen, improving writing feel. It does dull screen very slightly but drop in glare is worth the trade off. Also not so nice to use touchscreen when swiping due to friction but again worth the trade off for better writing experience with pen.

In terms of quality, the protector is quite solid. My complaint is that the material feels a little 'off'. It's matte, and does a good job at reducing glare; however, the Surface pen feeling may feel strange to some, as it almost feels like paper, but it also feels a little 'rubbery'. Applying the screen protector wasn't difficult, but it may be a high stakes for those that want a perfect fit (since you have to manually align it on your screen).

La surface (texture) pour écrire avec un stylet est parfait

The rating is purely related to the "paper feel" aspect. It's a good product quality wise. It just does not feel "like paper". Usage with a Slim pen is 3 stars. Usage with an older gen pen is better. Would rate 5 stars.

Very nice, gives the perfect feel when taking notes. The mat finish is very nice too. Easy to install… Only a 4-stars because I haven’t used it long enough to evaluate its longevity.
