Paperlike2.0 (Previous Model) for iPad Pro 11" (2020/21/22) & iPad Air 10.9" (2020/22) - Screen Protector for Drawing and Writing like on Paper

I wasn't sure about buying this as I bought my iPad recently. But oh wow! It really changed my digital writing expensive! it's totally worth it!

Installation is quite the delicate and tedious process. I'm glad they give you two of them but my plan was to use them at different times, not to have one as a backup in case I messed up installing the first.The guide on installation is easy to follow and I did it mostly right but I did end up with two small bubbles which I can sometimes notice when looking at the screen. It doesn't ruin the experience or get in the way of using the touch screen at all regardless of whether I'm using my finger or the Apple Pencil.It does feel like paper which is cool but sometimes it actually feels quite smooth. The longer you use it the more it will wear down and you will eventually get smooth spots which are still rougher than the screen itself but smooth compared to when its new. I wanted this because drawing on the iPad without something like this feels unnatural and it's far too easy to slide my pencil across the screen and have far less control over delicate strokes. With Paperlike it feels much more like paper and the resistance allows you to feel enough feedback to really feel as though you're interacting with the medium that the app you're running is emulating. It feels like pencil on paper or paint brush on canvas. It's great.One thing they don't tell you is that it's great for reading books on iPad as well. When turning pages I really feel more like I'm reading a paper book than a digital one. I've always preferred paper and analog tools but I'm more likely to buy and read digital books now with the Paperlike screen protector on my iPad.It's easy to clean. You just take the same sort of cloth you'd use to clean your iPad's naked screen and use it on the Paperlike. Yes, you will get fingerprints on your screen if you touch it with your hands just like using the normal screen so you have to clean it periodically.The Paperlike does dim the screen and dull the colors just a tiny bit but unless your work demands absolute perfection when it comes to color accuracy or you're some superhuman that can't handle a negligible change in brightness/color then you won't notice it unless you're specifically looking for it.I'm glad it comes with two because eventually the first will wear out and I'll need to apply another and the second time I'll hopefully learn from the mistakes I made with the first and make sure there are no small bubbles that end up under the screen. But like I said, even if you do end up with a couple small bubbles you'll most likely be able to live with it and in most cases it isn't worth removing the Paperlike and reapplying a new one. The difference is negligible.

. After aligning the film, ensure the screen is free of dust. Use a squeegee and start pressing down from one corner, working your way across slowly. Keep hold of the film—you can always lift it to remove any dust particles. (I’ve installed a lot of screen protectors, so trust me on this!)As for the paper-like feel, it’s nice, but it reduces screen quality by around 70%. Personally, I prefer tempered glass screen protectors combined with a removable writing pad, as shown in my second picture (I believe its ESR brand). This setup gives a similar writing feel without compromising screen clarity.

Oddly enough, the title pretty much describes the product. It is like paper. But not really. But it's for your iPad, which is like a paper pad but not really. So, if we all agree to accept that premise then this is exactly as described and, you can use this on your hundreds dollar iPad with your hundred dollar Apple pencil to almost kind of exactly duplicate the feel of writing with a piece of paper that costs about .02 and a pencil you found in the couch cushion because you cant even remember the last time you had to buy pencils.

I love this screen protector, it functions perfectly, I think durability depends on how much you use your iPad. As a student and artist I use my iPad at least 6 hours a day drawing, taking notes, designing, writing my journal. So I change it every 4-5 months. My brother who only uses for school and watching videos changes before the school period starts. It fits perfectly. Typing touching and writing works perfectly. I have used this for 4 years, went through almost 12 protectors. Also each package comes with two screen protector so totally worth the money. My brother has use the same protector but only have used 4. So the durability really depends on how much use you give it.
