PaperlikeScreen Protector (Previous Model) 2x for iPad Air 11” (2024 & 2025) for an authentic paper-feel

I I’ve the matte finish it gives the screen and the very slight resistance when writing. The application seems easy, but I still managed to get bubbles towards the end as the tabs to help line up shifted. Most definitely operator error, but thankfully it comes with two! Have really enjoyed this one and would recommend it for others!

Great item! I changed mine after 4 _5 months just because of a scratch but it feels great to write on

This is a really high-quality matte plastic screen protector for the iPad Air. Once it’s on, it completely changes how writing and drawing feels — way more natural, like actual paper. Great for college note-taking and solving math problems. The Apple Pencil doesn’t feel like it’s skating on glass anymore, but it’s still responsive and accurate. It just makes the whole experience of writing or sketching feel so much better.You get two protectors in the pack, plus all the accessories you need: cleaning wipes, dust stickers, guide tools — even a link to a very helpful install video. So far, so good.But holy hell, installing this thing is a pain in the ass. And I say that as someone who’s pretty experienced with screen protectors.The biggest issue is removing the protective film from the adhesive side. It’s really tough to peel off cleanly, and when you finally get it off, it’s way too easy to accidentally flex or warp the screen protector itself. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened with mine — the edges, especially the corners, never fully settled. Even a month later, they’re still slightly lifted. They haven’t gotten worse, but they’re not flush either.If you’re planning on picking this up (and honestly, you should — the feel is absolutely worth it), here’s what I recommend:Do the install in the most dust-free environment you can manage. Seriously — a steamy bathroom or a sealed room with zero airflow.Watch the full install video before you do anything.Be very careful peeling the backing off the adhesive side. Go slow, and support the protector so it doesn’t flex.Don’t stress if some corners don’t fully adhere. It still works great and doesn’t peel any further.Overall, this is a fantastic matte screen protector that delivers exactly what it promises — just be prepared for a tricky install. 4/5.

EDIT: While I stand by my initial review, I must give the company credit. Within a day of my review being posted, they reached out and tried to make things right by sending me a replacement set of protectors with additional tips for application. I said no, as I still believe the application process is substandard given the cost, but they then initiated a full refund without my requesting one. This is a company I can respect, even if I am not a fan of their product.This may or may not live up to the hype regarding the impact on writing and drawing, but I never made it that far. The application process is only marginally better than that of the earliest screen protectors for the original iPad. The tape used to hold the protector in place during application is a pain to get to hold correctly, with the protector constantly shifting. But the nightmare is applying the protector itself. No matter how slowly I went, no matter how carefully I pressed, I ended up with multiple air pockets that I could not remove without lifting the entire protector, which was made easier by the fact that the top film did not peel away from the protector but actually peeled the protector off the screen. I tried multiple times with both screen protectors and could not get a satisfactory application. At $45 a pop, these are in desperate need of an improved application process.

This is a great value! Total game changer. Writing on the ipad is weird and I had purchased another one similar but it didn’t do the same.This seems to have the perfect resistance when writing with the pencil. Installing was easy and the instructions made that even easier.

The paper like screen protector is tried and true. I had it for my last iPad and now, years later I bought it for my newest one after browsing other less expensive alternatives. I just KNOW the quality of this one and decided it was worth the cost. This time around there were easy instructions for setup including guide stickers and everything. I was so confident in setting it up but then when it came time to peel off the film on top, I could NOT get it off. Turns out when I peeled off the blue sticker to stick the screen protector down, the protector came off with the white paper. So all I had done was place the top film on my iPad and smooth the bubbles out. At this point my husband stepped in and tried to help. We peeled off the screen protector from the white paper and tried to place it on top but it kept going crooked and dust kept getting under it. Fine, we have one more, let’s just use that one. I was getting frustrated. My husband then proceeded to watch the video and start the set up all over again and once again the white paper would NOT come off of the paperlike protector when it was time to peel the blue sticker off. Nothing we did would remove it from that corner so finally we just peeled from another side. Dust ended up under it still and at the end of it all we realized that he had placed it upside down (Face ID camera cut out was on the wrong side 🤦🏻‍♀️)SO long story short, I’m out $45, my screen protector is on backwards and I no longer have a spare because of how the installation went with the first one.
