@@dannypurgewolf2890 here is the review I got it on Amazon. It came with built in screen protector that I removed... the tape they uses leaves residue that I had to clean 🧽 here is the review: th-cam.com/video/999n3O3tbYs/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried the Bellemond matte protector? It is available on Amazon and it is half of the price. I wonder if you have since everyone prefers that one and is cheaper.
Thanks for the honest review. We definitely are taking the feedback to heart and will use it to improve the Paperlike even more. As you know, 2020 has been a tough year for all e-commerce companies with the delays due to COVID-19, and it was especially tough for us with the increase in demand for Paperlike (which was pretty unexpected during this time). Even so, I apologize that you experienced such a delay with your order. You definitely weren't the only one. Luckily, we look like we're back on track and are finally almost 100% caught up to the volume. Other than that, I just wanted to thank you for pointing out the positives and negatives, not only of Paperlike, but for matte screen protectors in general. You very clearly articulated who we believe is our target audience (iPad + Apple Pencil users). We aren't right for everybody, but if you love to draw and write on the iPad, Paperlike is a great addition to that experience. In any case, keep up the great work and I can't wait to get your update video (as well as another review whenever the next version of Paperlike comes out). This is possibly the most honest review of Paperlike I've seen.
Thanks for the reply! I completely understand the delay COVID has made a lot of thins slowed down. I Really like the Paperlike overall and its perfect for what I needed it for! The scratch issue is understandable but it is too easy to scratch. I would love to see that issue ironed out and Paperlike 3 being perfect! Keep up the great work :)
@@STICKYArt It's definitely something we'll be working on and thanks for understanding. I really hope we never have to go through anything like it again, and obviously not only for business reasons. It was a stressful time for all of us, all our customers, and friends and family. Hope it all ends soon. Keep up the great work.
@@Paperlike Can you clarify if the Paperlike product on Amazon (in video 1:34) is a genuine product? In video he said it is a knock-off, but that product page seems very authentic to me! (It has your founder's photo and stuff)
FullTiltOn thanks for checking out the review! Yes lots of knock offs out there and amazon has many that even look like legitimate products/companies. Matte texture adds a really nice feel to the tablets!

When i got the paperlike my tip was perfectly fine but after a month my top of the tip was black and barely worked. I dont recommended the paperlike screen
I’ve used it for two years drawing every day on my iPad, but my pencil tip is fine. Although paperlike gets scratches easily, but it stayed clear in my case. Have you accidentally bought a knock off? Cleaning your screen every two weeks is helpful too.
I’ve been using the paperlike for around 9 months ~12 hrs/week and my pencil tip is fine, don’t think I’ll need to replace for a long time still. The paperlike does get scratched up but I can’t see these when the screen is on, they’re only visible when the screen is off under a certain light angle. I think this is a great trade off for not having to deal with fingerprints, which drive me crazy. I love the paperlike and would def recommend
Edit 5 month update: I posted a super clean 🧼 tutorial and show my Apple pen tip after 5 months of use on the paperlike! And Cleaning maintenance tutorial: th-cam.com/video/56hHQvII2fE/w-d-xo.html
Oh this is absolutely awesome! THIS is the kind of reviews that should actually be there. I'm sick of these first impression "reviews". First impressions are NOT enough! Thank you so, so so much!!
Happy I came across this video. I'm currently saving up for an apple tablet and will mostly be using it to start learning digital art. I do my best to find genuine reviews on products. Thanks to your information. I'm willing to put down a few extra bucks to get the genuine paperlike than what I have in my amazon cart.
Thank you so much for posting this! There's so many Paperlike "reviews" out there that make no mention about how easily it scratches. I honestly thought I had purchased a knock off version, or a defective product, because the scratches built up immediately after my first sketch on the iPad. I, personally, can't deal with the scratches on the screen. I can feel them when I'm using the iPad and it makes me think there's grit or dust all over the screen. I have a cheap matte screen protector on my older 2017 iPad that has yet to develop any scratches, and even though it doesn't have that anti-rainbowing feature, I can live with it much more than with a bunch of scratches all over the screen.
But does your other protector feel like paper? I think right now there is no paperlike product out there on the market that won't end up with scratches. Any friction is going to cause scratches.
Thanks for this review! I wasn’t sure if I should buy a paperlike because most reviews I’ve seen so far are sponsored and they tend to be only positive. I recently bought the new iPad Pro with the pencil (I had the first iPad Air before) and use it mainly for note taking and drawing. But I’m a bit concerned of scratches on the display. Paperlike seems really good. It’s pricey but I think if you have an expensive device you should spend money on protection, too. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for checking out the video! I still like the paperlike feel overall for drawing. Its biggest flaw is that it scratches easily. I am still using my original paper like of the 2 included and the scratches in most indoor lighting is not noticeable while the screen is on. keep in mind the it can be removed and still offers a small amount of protection vs the drawing on the bare screen.
Oh my gosh this video was SO helpful. I actually had an order placed with Amazon from someone using the name PaperLike. I realize this video was put out a year ago almost but I didn’t want to take any chances so I canceled it and ordered directly from PaperLike website. I was looking at the reviews and there were several terrible ones and I just didn’t feel like being ripped off and I didn’t even realize it before I watch this video so thank you!
Hello I’m actually planning on doing an update for this video very soon! Since making this video paper like actually started to offer their authentic product on Amazon . Just want to make sure you are purchasing it directly from them not from a third-party. If you search on Amazon seller should be listed as Paperlike. Hope that helps!
I have since tried the Bellmond brand and definitely agree it wears down the tips faster. I was able to use the Paperlike almost a year before replacing a nib. With Bellmond I had to replace the nib after about a month and a half :( I ended up going back to Paperlike for now.
@@STICKYArt Yeah both are crap. By getting any of these PAPER LIKE products you are agreeing to having an ipad with tons of scratches or nibs that wear down. No thanks. Ill stick to glass
@@jm7720 I def agree there is not a perfect option available! (I have tried way to many matte screen protectors) I recently took of the screen protector and been using it bare glass. While I’m getting used to the feel or bare glass I can’t stand the fingerprints and smudges tho 😂
@@STICKYArt 😂 Its a pity there isn't a good product out there. The problem is matte paper like screen protectors are like fine sandpaper. Buy some from your local hardware store and run your nail over it, immediatel you will see scratches. Same applies and it will wear down your fingernail. Now if you were to do the reverse and buy NIBS that had friction, that would then cause scratches on the glass screen so either way it doesn't seem to work. I think the closest anyone has come to giving that pencil to paper like experience is the REMARKABLE 2 but then you are buying something that is more expensive than an ipad and it only serves one function. Uh. If Apple was smart they would come out an accessory that could be placed over the top and would give that unique experience.
I wish I could get the surface pro 8 pen/experiance on an iPad. the stock feeling is great the haptic motor helps a bit with the friction feeling for me and the nib is so much finer so it's more accurate and natural to write with
Thanks! I try to be very thorough in all of my reviews! Especially considering the price for Paperlike! It's still working great for me but I am really curious to see how long it lasts! As a full time artist I keep track of the time I spend drawing/using the screen protector. Once it does wear out or need replacing, I will know about how many hours it lasted.
I used they same screen protector too after a month of usiing there is only little amount of scratch And the pencil still they same no tear so far i am satisfied of this product
I just did a super clean on the paperlike and it really made it like now(posted a tutorial)! I still really like the paperlike for drawing and added control!
Thanks for this great review, specially the part showing the pencil tip on detail, because that’s what worries me the most. But for the price, I can’t really justify getting a Paperlike (as I just draw casually on my iPad. But if I could, I’d definitely get Paperlike thanks to your video.
I just wanted to see what you would have to say, I agree, it’s the perfect match for people creating art on the iPad and using the Apple Pencil. It is the first thing I do before using the iPad. I takes the iPads protective screen off and immediately put the paper like on. I have experienced an issue where a small spec of dust was caught underneath creating a small bubble and I have had bubbles that would never flatten out, but on my newest 2020 IPad Pro it’s perfect.
Thanks for checking out the review! Getting dust under a screen protector is so annoying! I try to apply mine in a bathroom with the door shut after a shower so the humidity keeps the dust out of the air. I got pretty lucky when installed mine and only a small bubble on the edge where a piece of dust snuck in. It’s not even visible when the iPad is on though.
Can you review knockoffs if you haven’t already because the price is too big for only two screen protectors and I was looking for a little bit of a cheaper version while I’m waiting for my iPad in the mail
djmexxc nice if you can install in the bathroom after a hot shower to reduce chance dust getting under the screen and causing bubbles! Let me know what you think when it’s installed!
@@STICKYArt installing it went pretty good with no dust, did in the bathroom after letting some hot water run. When I started using it the first thing I thought was, this doesn't feel as good as I thought it would be. But I had a different brush then normal so I took the other one and it was fine but only used it for a couple minutes. Now I used it again and it looks like I have a delay and sometimes a bump in my lines. The scratches are already visible but I understand it because of the material. Now I want to take it of and see if the delay is normal, I can see the line has to catch up with my pen when I go on medium speed. I have only doodled with it so far and not worked on it for real so have to see how it goes, the pen on the screen feels great but not to sure of the rest have to experience it. I will let you know when I worked on it longer, I bought it from the official seller
djmexxc interesting... I’m pretty sure the delay has nothing to do with the protector. Try closing apps in the background, re-opening the app and restart your iPad.
@@STICKYArt yea it wasn't something I would expect to have caused by the protector, but it's something I noticed after I put it on the iPad. I did restart, I installed an update recently maybe that's had caused it. I am not gonna remove to test it:) not for now that is. I am very happy with the protector still so, to be continued, let you know in The future how it worked out:)
100% correct. I’ve tried both the paperlike v2 and the bellemond Kent paper screen protectors. The paperlike was similar to the bellemond in most ways except it cost more than twice as much and seemed to chew through Apple Pencil tips twice as fast.
i would like to buy the paperlike screen, but i had some concerns that backed me off. i don’t care for the durability of the screen, but i care for the durability of my apple pencil. having a glass screen protector is quite jarring, but after awhile you’ll get used to it. it’s been a year and the tips doesn’t have any visible damage, unlike using the paperlike screen protector. si in short, i don’t recommend it unless the glass really bother you and affects your artwork.
Valuable and honest video. The title misaligns a bit with the overarching sentiment, I would say. Seems like there are more pros than cons. Either way, many valuable points for consideration.
Thanks really appreciate the feedback! Always open to better fitting titles ideas ! My main goal when making this was to make an in depth user review un that was unbiased and well researched/tested. I wanted the video to have everything someone interested would need to know to make an informed decision on wether the product is correct for them Hopefully saving some people money and time. As well as provide fellow artists some honest user feedback! A lot of the reviews I saw at the time of making it were by non artists or sponsored artists most that used it for a very short period before reviewing and left out important info.
I decided not to go for Paperlike due to the price. I did however get the Techgear Matt screen protector and so far I’m loving it. You also notice the marks from the pencil on it but considering it was a fraction of the price of Paperlike, I don’t mind
My music theory professor recommended this to me to prevent glare from the iPad when reading sheet music. Do you think it could have a benefit with that?
Just to be certain: the scratches are only on the screen protector right?😅 I’m sure it wouldn’t be enough to actually go through the screen, but this seems like a great product for the performance, but so long as it keeps the screen underneath safe from the pencil (I know this won’t protect from hard falls, etc. due to it being a matte screen)
Yeah, whenever there's friction involved, something's got to give! I feel like people are too perfectionist wanting everything to stay like new forever & never need replacing, but things wear; just like clothes, the soles or shoes etc.
Should I get this if I will be using my iPad heavily for note taking (high school) though also for watching lots of shows and movies. I would be getting the M1 with the many miny pixels. Thank you, please reply
I have a matte screen protector from Amazon for my iPad and I draw on it very often, but there’s not a single scratch on it and I had it for 2-3 months now. The listing was on top and I think it was Amazon choice.
awesome review! I'm still torn on whether I should get it because I use my Ipad for art and design and watching media so I feel like the scratches will be a distraction. But I know It will really help with using the Apple pencil.
Great review!! I just KNEW the one I got from Amazon was not from Paperlike. Plus on the Amazon site they called it “Paperfeel” but when it came it said “Paper-like”. Time will tell how well it does. Also I don’t use it for drawing ✍️ like you.
This is the most useful review I've seen of Paperlike. I mostly use my iPad 8th gen for media consumption, but occasionally doodle with the Apple Pencil. Your points made it very clear that this is not for me. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks 🙏 this was made before when they only sold on their own website. I made an update video a couple days ago and linked the Amazon listing! I’ll update it here in the comments!
It’s horrible it scratches the tip of your Apple Pencil and it barely protects your screen I rather get supershieldz it protects your screen it doesn’t scratch the tip as much and it’s 6.00
Question would the paperlike would work well if you add an actual screen protector then add the paperlike screen protector? Just asking because I want to try that out because I have never heard anyone do that.
I always thought it was hard to find a genuine paperlike review because I'd find people who were reviewing it who weren't artists and so would count normal drawing tablet trade-offs as cons (like dulling the screen quality) :') I think I'm just gonna have to give paperlike a try for myself to see what's more accurate
They have a satisfaction or money back guarantee! If you are looking for more apple control and feedback as an artist I think it’s a solid option for me the known cons are outweighed by its pros for me :)
I’m using the Mothca matte screen protector right now. Had it for about 2 weeks now and it’s seen heavy use and no scratches on it so far. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s glass and not film though, but I think screen scratches would for sure be a deal breaker for me if I was getting the paper like.
Hi, would you mind sharing your longterm thoughts on the Mothca matte screen protector? I'm getting myself an ipad for Christmas and I'm still not sure which matte screen protector I should go with Thanks in advance!
@@teo637 Sure thing! I'm still using the same one from 7 months ago and see no signs of wear and it is still scratch free. Even have had my dog accidentally smack my screen a few times and its still great. I havent had any corners peel up nor have I had any hair or anything sneak under. Genuinely still very happy with it!
Thank you for the honest review. Ive been so on the fence on purchasing this because all the reviews seem biased and sponsored. But i may go for it as I feel that it will make drawing a better experience .
I owned a really cheap Amazon knock off of this type of screen protector and I recently got the Paperlike. My cheap one didn’t hold oil, and it never scratched. But the Paperlike scratched instantly and the oil present on the screen is so annoying to me. But because Paperlike is the originator and I feel like a jerk when I buy the knock offs without acknowledging the originators.
As a teacher that uses my iPad everyday as teaching tool. Paper like was not worth the price. I tried it for 5 months From August to December. Within those months I went through 3 nibs. The scratches from writing on it was so horrible it made me feel like my screen was always dirty. When putting on the protector I learn it was not forgiving if you made a mistake when putting it on. Be very very very cautious of any micro dust particles in the air when installing this product. I ended up going through 4 paper like sheets during the 5 months. Yes I did buy it twice thinking it must be my fault. Maybe I didn’t install it correctly or I must have a heavy hand… In January I decided I had enough of all the horrible scratches on my screen. I decided to try a different product, wow not only was it 1/4 the price, I am still using the same screen and it’s May! No scratches and has the same paper texture feel.
I tried a couple other brands and they did not scratch but the feel of them was not the same. On was almost sandpaper feeling antlers the other similar to writing on a chalkboard. Do you know what brand the one you are using now? I want to find one that feels good and does not scratch! :) also how is the pen tip wear?
My wife has a samsung s6 and the feel of that pen is awesome however it lacks the accuracy of the hard pen! Since I use mine primarily for graphic design work and art I prefer the ipad pro apps (procreate and illustrator) and have no plans of changing out my tablet anytime soon!
@@STICKYArt try the new samsung Tabs7 plus dude am telling you its freaking awesome, trust me when you get a chance and covid hasnt shut all the stores drop down and play around on display model of the tab s7 plus you will be amazed
Omg your screen has so many scratches I'm good I'll just use the icarez at 10$ for two its so worth the price I can change it every three months if needed and still be half the cost of paper like not to mention if I got to change my paper like twice a year that's $80 compared to $20
@@sanakiyamam1987 it is subjective dude, there's also a designer that love using a mouse over a tablet, it's not the Tools that make you good,it is you that make the tools usefull
Omg I bought a paperfeel one from Amazon not noticing the difference, I immediately asked for a refund and sent it back. I hadn’t opened it yet because I was still waiting on the iPad to arrive. I bought a paperlike on from their website since I plan to use this for art designs.
7:28 that one bubble seems unavoidable like everyone ive seen with paperlike have it including me. Iniatilly it bugged me so much but now I don't really care as long as it doesn't affect my handwriting at the bubble spot.
The Paperlike is definitly THE BEST screenprotector you can get for your iPad Pro. Why it's the best, really depends on the main userbase of people who have an iPad Pro: Artists, Editors and Creators. All these people can profit of the mattness of the protector and the feel it gives. For Artists it's the feel, for Editors and Creators that are kinda forced to work i dim environments can definitly profit off the anti glare effect it gives so their workspaces are enlarged (parks, caffees and etc.)
Any pointers for newbies? I use to draw 12 years ago and completely lost my skill and decided to pick up an iPad Pro to draw again but I’m feeling overwhelmed. Any advice to get to your level
I am working on a tips and tricks tutorial for Drawing right now! As for tips with using programs or apps for digital art I highly recommend procreate if you have not used it yet definitely check out my tutorial you can see a lot of the things that you are able to do with it th-cam.com/video/ktfY9HKuSts/w-d-xo.html
Is it okay to use without a screen protector too ? I am thinking to go with tempered glass but worried abt writing due to the glass texture bcse it will be too slippery naaa
my only issue is i have the m1 ipad and using paper like just makes the screen look muted and to me that's too much of a trade off. why have this amazing xdr screen but not be able to experience it
Question: I know paperlike helps to sketch, i,e, but how is your viewing of the tablet with papaerlike? I would imagine with all the scratches, does the media, movies or images look okay after 3 months? Do you need to replace the paperlike or use alternative screen protector? When you peal off the paperlike, is the screen face okay or some scratches transfer over?
Does it damage the tip of the pencil? That is the only thing I am worried about. Becasue of the “roughness”? I suppose I could use a silicon tip to put on top of the pencil’s tip, but I am curious if this is really needed.
Well I have had my scrren protector on for about 2 months and I’ve been using my Apple Pencil on it daily for drawing and video editing and my pencil is still in great condition, it has absolutely no wear and tear and I haven’t had to change anything yet, I just clean my screen and pencil as he instructed every once in a while and everything seems okay! Hope this helps! ☺️( bare in mind I have the paper like 2 which seems to not wear down the top as well)
I just ordered a silicone tip to give my feedback on it! Paperlike seems to add a greater feel of control an precision. I have used the Samsung galaxy tab s6 and the nib is rubber/silicone . It feels great but looses the fine control that I am used to with a pen or pencil ✏️ I have 20 years experience with traditional so for me it makes a huge difference!
@@STICKYArt it’s understandable. I do expect to lose some of the control the more layers are added in between my “tool” and the “canvass”. But then again, I wouldn’t want the pencil to be damaged either. It’s not cheap lol

I think this is by far the most honest review I've ever seen. Love it, thank you !!
Thanks for this review! I wasn’t sure if I should buy a paperlike because most reviews I’ve seen so far are sponsored and they tend to be only positive. I recently bought the new iPad Pro with the pencil (I had the first iPad Air before) and use it mainly for note taking and drawing. But I’m a bit concerned of scratches on the display. Paperlike seems really good. It’s pricey but I think if you have an expensive device you should spend money on protection, too.
Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for checking out the video! I still like the paperlike feel overall for drawing. Its biggest flaw is that it scratches easily. I am still using my original paper like of the 2 included and the scratches in most indoor lighting is not noticeable while the screen is on. keep in mind the it can be removed and still offers a small amount of protection vs the drawing on the bare screen.
Oh my gosh this video was SO helpful. I actually had an order placed with Amazon from someone using the name PaperLike. I realize this video was put out a year ago almost but I didn’t want to take any chances so I canceled it and ordered directly from PaperLike website. I was looking at the reviews and there were several terrible ones and I just didn’t feel like being ripped off and I didn’t even realize it before I watch this video so thank you!
Hello I’m actually planning on doing an update for this video very soon! Since making this video paper like actually started to offer their authentic product on Amazon . Just want to make sure you are purchasing it directly from them not from a third-party. If you search on Amazon seller should be listed as Paperlike. Hope that helps!
Finally an honest review. Bellmond doesnt have anywhere as near scratches as this product and it looks good but it wears down nibs
I have since tried the Bellmond brand and definitely agree it wears down the tips faster. I was able to use the Paperlike almost a year before replacing a nib. With Bellmond I had to replace the nib after about a month and a half :( I ended up going back to Paperlike for now.
@@STICKYArt Yeah both are crap. By getting any of these PAPER LIKE products you are agreeing to having an ipad with tons of scratches or nibs that wear down. No thanks. Ill stick to glass
@@jm7720 I def agree there is not a perfect option available! (I have tried way to many matte screen protectors) I recently took of the screen protector and been using it bare glass. While I’m getting used to the feel or bare glass I can’t stand the fingerprints and smudges tho 😂
@@STICKYArt 😂 Its a pity there isn't a good product out there. The problem is matte paper like screen protectors are like fine sandpaper. Buy some from your local hardware store and run your nail over it, immediatel you will see scratches. Same applies and it will wear down your fingernail. Now if you were to do the reverse and buy NIBS that had friction, that would then cause scratches on the glass screen so either way it doesn't seem to work. I think the closest anyone has come to giving that pencil to paper like experience is the REMARKABLE 2 but then you are buying something that is more expensive than an ipad and it only serves one function. Uh. If Apple was smart they would come out an accessory that could be placed over the top and would give that unique experience.
I literally use a knock off and i have had both. They both do great
I wish I could get the surface pro 8 pen/experiance on an iPad.
the stock feeling is great the haptic motor helps a bit with the friction feeling for me and the nib is so much finer so it's more accurate and natural to write with
Thank you for posting this, I just bought a new iPad and as someone who will mainly use it for art watching your review has been extremely helpful:)
I have the Supershieldz brand off of Amazon, ($9 for 2 sheets), and it worked well for me. I use my ipad for art as well.
Awesome review, definitely appreciate the thoughtful way you approached this in that you used the product over a period of time. Thank you!
Thanks! I try to be very thorough in all of my reviews! Especially considering the price for Paperlike! It's still working great for me but I am really curious to see how long it lasts! As a full time artist I keep track of the time I spend drawing/using the screen protector. Once it does wear out or need replacing, I will know about how many hours it lasted.
Can you do a review on the magnetic aoiktye screen protector?
That was very helpful. As an illustrator who is about to purchase an iPad primarily for drawing, this looks perfect.
I used they same screen protector too after a month of usiing there is only little amount of scratch And the pencil still they same no tear so far i am satisfied of this product
I just did a super clean on the paperlike and it really made it like now(posted a tutorial)! I still really like the paperlike for drawing and added control!
belle mond is great i got one about 2 weeks ago now sounds great doesn’t wear down pen nib feels good and is also way cheaper at 12 gbp
Thanks for this great review, specially the part showing the pencil tip on detail, because that’s what worries me the most. But for the price, I can’t really justify getting a Paperlike (as I just draw casually on my iPad. But if I could, I’d definitely get Paperlike thanks to your video.
I just wanted to see what you would have to say, I agree, it’s the perfect match for people creating art on the iPad and using the Apple Pencil. It is the first thing I do before using the iPad. I takes the iPads protective screen off and immediately put the paper like on. I have experienced an issue where a small spec of dust was caught underneath creating a small bubble and I have had bubbles that would never flatten out, but on my newest 2020 IPad Pro it’s perfect.
Thanks for checking out the review! Getting dust under a screen protector is so annoying! I try to apply mine in a bathroom with the door shut after a shower so the humidity keeps the dust out of the air. I got pretty lucky when installed mine and only a small bubble on the edge where a piece of dust snuck in. It’s not even visible when the iPad is on though.
You should try
Bellemond screen protector too.
that’s what i use
Can you review knockoffs if you haven’t already because the price is too big for only two screen protectors and I was looking for a little bit of a cheaper version while I’m waiting for my iPad in the mail
I got the 8th gen and love the drawing aspect of it. I'm going to save up for a pro and the ipad pencil.
Got it in the mail 2 days ago, gonna install tomorrow, bought when I seen you last video. Took a while to get here but got it now finaly
djmexxc nice if you can install in the bathroom after a hot shower to reduce chance dust getting under the screen and causing bubbles! Let me know what you think when it’s installed!
@@STICKYArt installing it went pretty good with no dust, did in the bathroom after letting some hot water run.
When I started using it the first thing I thought was, this doesn't feel as good as I thought it would be.
But I had a different brush then normal so I took the other one and it was fine but only used it for a couple minutes.
Now I used it again and it looks like I have a delay and sometimes a bump in my lines.
The scratches are already visible but I understand it because of the material.
Now I want to take it of and see if the delay is normal, I can see the line has to catch up with my pen when I go on medium speed.
I have only doodled with it so far and not worked on it for real so have to see how it goes, the pen on the screen feels great but not to sure of the rest have to experience it.
I will let you know when I worked on it longer, I bought it from the official seller
I have an iPad pro 2020 11 Inch
djmexxc interesting... I’m pretty sure the delay has nothing to do with the protector. Try closing apps in the background, re-opening the app and restart your iPad.
@@STICKYArt yea it wasn't something I would expect to have caused by the protector, but it's something I noticed after I put it on the iPad. I did restart, I installed an update recently maybe that's had caused it.
I am not gonna remove to test it:) not for now that is.
I am very happy with the protector still so, to be continued, let you know in The future how it worked out:)
100% correct. I’ve tried both the paperlike v2 and the bellemond Kent paper screen protectors. The paperlike was similar to the bellemond in most ways except it cost more than twice as much and seemed to chew through Apple Pencil tips twice as fast.
So is the bellemond better?
@@destiny3403 in my opinion yes and cheaper too
i would like to buy the paperlike screen, but i had some concerns that backed me off. i don’t care for the durability of the screen, but i care for the durability of my apple pencil. having a glass screen protector is quite jarring, but after awhile you’ll get used to it. it’s been a year and the tips doesn’t have any visible damage, unlike using the paperlike screen protector. si in short, i don’t recommend it unless the glass really bother you and affects your artwork.
Any other recommendations for a screen protector that people use for drawing?
Wow. Thank you for all the advice!
Valuable and honest video. The title misaligns a bit with the overarching sentiment, I would say. Seems like there are more pros than cons. Either way, many valuable points for consideration.
Thanks really appreciate the feedback! Always open to better fitting titles ideas ! My main goal when making this was to make an in depth user review un that was unbiased and well researched/tested. I wanted the video to have everything someone interested would need to know to make an informed decision on wether the product is correct for them Hopefully saving some people money and time. As well as provide fellow artists some honest user feedback! A lot of the reviews I saw at the time of making it were by non artists or sponsored artists most that used it for a very short period before reviewing and left out important info.
Great video! I was looking for an unbiased/unsponsored review to see if it was worth it and this helps a lot! Thanks!
I decided not to go for Paperlike due to the price. I did however get the Techgear Matt screen protector and so far I’m loving it. You also notice the marks from the pencil on it but considering it was a fraction of the price of Paperlike, I don’t mind
Great review! Thanks for taking the time to share.
I love these but I’d love to find your link to how you apply it. Just mangled my first one. It came quickly for me. Thanks!
My music theory professor recommended this to me to prevent glare from the iPad when reading sheet music. Do you think it could have a benefit with that?
Great review and information. I almost went for the amazon purchase but they didn't have my iPad size. Thank goodness.
havent tried paperlike yet but i have used elecom for over a year and never got scratch issues
Can you put this on top of a tempered glass screen protector?
Just to be certain: the scratches are only on the screen protector right?😅 I’m sure it wouldn’t be enough to actually go through the screen, but this seems like a great product for the performance, but so long as it keeps the screen underneath safe from the pencil (I know this won’t protect from hard falls, etc. due to it being a matte screen)
Yes on the film only if you remove the paperlike no scratches will be on the glass.
Usually there are two types of paperlike screen protector: the one that wear and the one that wear the tip of the pencil.
Yeah, whenever there's friction involved, something's got to give! I feel like people are too perfectionist wanting everything to stay like new forever & never need replacing, but things wear; just like clothes, the soles or shoes etc.
Should I get this if I will be using my iPad heavily for note taking (high school) though also for watching lots of shows and movies. I would be getting the M1 with the many miny pixels. Thank you, please reply
I have a matte screen protector from Amazon for my iPad and I draw on it very often, but there’s not a single scratch on it and I had it for 2-3 months now. The listing was on top and I think it was Amazon choice.
I need the link for the one you have.
I am trying the top screen protector from Amazon now... I’ll try to post the review later today!
awesome review! I'm still torn on whether I should get it because I use my Ipad for art and design and watching media so I feel like the scratches will be a distraction. But I know It will really help with using the Apple pencil.
Great review!! I just KNEW the one I got from Amazon was not from Paperlike. Plus on the Amazon site they called it “Paperfeel” but when it came it said “Paper-like”. Time will tell how well it does. Also I don’t use it for drawing ✍️ like you.
This is the most useful review I've seen of Paperlike. I mostly use my iPad 8th gen for media consumption, but occasionally doodle with the Apple Pencil. Your points made it very clear that this is not for me. Thanks! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Where do I get that screen saver?
What a fantastic review, thanks for helping me making a better decision!
Hey STICKY Art! What is the iPad case you show at 4:28 with the snap-in pencil holder? Great review, thanks for the honest and thorough overview!!
I actually got confirmation from a rep at paperlike that the amazon ones are official paperlike products. They opened an Amazon store a bit ago.
Thanks 🙏 this was made before when they only sold on their own website. I made an update video a couple days ago and linked the Amazon listing! I’ll update it here in the comments!
Hai, what case did you use?
Hey where did you got your case pls ?
Great review, I appreciate the unbiased opinion. You’re drawing on the iPad 6 to 8 hours A DAY?? Man I gotta get my numbers up...
Thanks for checking out the review! Haha 6-8 for work mainly sometimes more! 😳 gotta get my use out of the iPad Pro!
Damn i work on my iPad 9-11 hours a day, but 9 on school days and 11 on the weekend
Oh wow. We should get this as well! Looks great.
It’s horrible it scratches the tip of your Apple Pencil and it barely protects your screen I rather get supershieldz it protects your screen it doesn’t scratch the tip as much and it’s 6.00
I subscribed within the first few seconds, you have a very soothing voice.
Thanks 🙏 so much!
Is there an update on the paperlike2?
Excellent, thanks! Keep up the good work.
which screen protector will be best for ipad
Can i install the paper line on a glass screen protector???
Question would the paperlike would work well if you add an actual screen protector then add the paperlike screen protector? Just asking because I want to try that out because I have never heard anyone do that.
How does it feel on the fingers? When we play using our fingers does the friction affect us easier?
Why are there no matte GLASS screen protectors?
I always thought it was hard to find a genuine paperlike review because I'd find people who were reviewing it who weren't artists and so would count normal drawing tablet trade-offs as cons (like dulling the screen quality) :')
I think I'm just gonna have to give paperlike a try for myself to see what's more accurate
They have a satisfaction or money back guarantee! If you are looking for more apple control and feedback as an artist I think it’s a solid option for me the known cons are outweighed by its pros for me :)
@@STICKYArt that's good to hear! I have a lot of time to think about it since I've only just started saving for the ipad mini itself lol
I’m using the Mothca matte screen protector right now. Had it for about 2 weeks now and it’s seen heavy use and no scratches on it so far. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s glass and not film though, but I think screen scratches would for sure be a deal breaker for me if I was getting the paper like.
Hi, would you mind sharing your longterm thoughts on the Mothca matte screen protector? I'm getting myself an ipad for Christmas and I'm still not sure which matte screen protector I should go with
Thanks in advance!
@@teo637 Sure thing! I'm still using the same one from 7 months ago and see no signs of wear and it is still scratch free. Even have had my dog accidentally smack my screen a few times and its still great. I havent had any corners peel up nor have I had any hair or anything sneak under.
Genuinely still very happy with it!
@@krumpits That was definitely helpful. Thanks for the quick response!
@@teo637 happy to help!
Thank you for the honest review. Ive been so on the fence on purchasing this because all the reviews seem biased and sponsored. But i may go for it as I feel that it will make drawing a better experience .
I owned a really cheap Amazon knock off of this type of screen protector and I recently got the Paperlike. My cheap one didn’t hold oil, and it never scratched. But the Paperlike scratched instantly and the oil present on the screen is so annoying to me. But because Paperlike is the originator and I feel like a jerk when I buy the knock offs without acknowledging the originators.
As a teacher that uses my iPad everyday as teaching tool. Paper like was not worth the price. I tried it for 5 months From August to December. Within those months I went through 3 nibs. The scratches from writing on it was so horrible it made me feel like my screen was always dirty. When putting on the protector I learn it was not forgiving if you made a mistake when putting it on. Be very very very cautious of any micro dust particles in the air when installing this product. I ended up going through 4 paper like sheets during the 5 months. Yes I did buy it twice thinking it must be my fault. Maybe I didn’t install it correctly or I must have a heavy hand… In January I decided I had enough of all the horrible scratches on my screen. I decided to try a different product, wow not only was it 1/4 the price, I am still using the same screen and it’s May! No scratches and has the same paper texture feel.
I tried a couple other brands and they did not scratch but the feel of them was not the same. On was almost sandpaper feeling antlers the other similar to writing on a chalkboard. Do you know what brand the one you are using now? I want to find one that feels good and does not scratch! :) also how is the pen tip wear?
if you truly want resistance and good pen feel on glass its the samsung tab s7 plus it will be perfect for resistance
My wife has a samsung s6 and the feel of that pen is awesome however it lacks the accuracy of the hard pen! Since I use mine primarily for graphic design work and art I prefer the ipad pro apps (procreate and illustrator) and have no plans of changing out my tablet anytime soon!
@@STICKYArt try the new samsung Tabs7 plus dude am telling you its freaking awesome, trust me when you get a chance and covid hasnt shut all the stores drop down and play around on display model of the tab s7 plus you will be amazed
how much does the display change when using paperlike?
Omg your screen has so many scratches I'm good I'll just use the icarez at 10$ for two its so worth the price I can change it every three months if needed and still be half the cost of paper like not to mention if I got to change my paper like twice a year that's $80 compared to $20
Hey, Great vid, What is the ipad case you were using outside?
this was the one amzn.to/2XTgSgP I had remove the built in screen protector
To be honest i hate the sound of pencil on paper idk why so not having paper like is better for me
but the sound on paperlike is not as loud as the other product.. just like on the wacom cintiq in my opinion
@@novitahelviana6417 I think Charlotte is saying that she prefers the glass or a plain protector.
yeah for you but for the designers it's important how it feels. are you a designer?
@@sanakiyamam1987 it is subjective dude, there's also a designer that love using a mouse over a tablet, it's not the Tools that make you good,it is you that make the tools usefull
and thats on sensory issues😀
Omg I bought a paperfeel one from Amazon not noticing the difference, I immediately asked for a refund and sent it back. I hadn’t opened it yet because I was still waiting on the iPad to arrive. I bought a paperlike on from their website since I plan to use this for art designs.
It doesn't need to be exactly Paperlike. They are all essentially the same.
Is it possible to put a Paperlike sheet on top of a cintiq?
7:28 that one bubble seems unavoidable like everyone ive seen with paperlike have it including me. Iniatilly it bugged me so much but now I don't really care as long as it doesn't affect my handwriting at the bubble spot.
Excuse me does the paperlike damage the apple pencil tip
The Paperlike is definitly THE BEST screenprotector you can get for your iPad Pro. Why it's the best, really depends on the main userbase of people who have an iPad Pro: Artists, Editors and Creators. All these people can profit of the mattness of the protector and the feel it gives. For Artists it's the feel, for Editors and Creators that are kinda forced to work i dim environments can definitly profit off the anti glare effect it gives so their workspaces are enlarged (parks, caffees and etc.)
What case do you have? looks good
This one ! th-cam.com/video/999n3O3tbYs/w-d-xo.html
Your voice is so relaxing ❤️ also great review!
Thanks!
if after drawing has scratches if use wet tissue or wet cloth to wipe, will it go away??
Any pointers for newbies? I use to draw 12 years ago and completely lost my skill and decided to pick up an iPad Pro to draw again but I’m feeling overwhelmed. Any advice to get to your level
I am working on a tips and tricks tutorial for Drawing right now! As for tips with using programs or apps for digital art I highly recommend procreate if you have not used it yet definitely check out my tutorial you can see a lot of the things that you are able to do with it th-cam.com/video/ktfY9HKuSts/w-d-xo.html
@@STICKYArt thank you very much Sticky 🙌🏽
I have paperlike for one year now. Use my IPad pro daily and I can only recommend it.
Can you use paper like on top of an actual screen protector for drawing?
What was the name of the case you had on your iPad
It’s by Ztotop here is a review I made on it. Amazon link in the videos description: th-cam.com/video/999n3O3tbYs/w-d-xo.html
Is it okay to use without a screen protector too ? I am thinking to go with tempered glass but worried abt writing due to the glass texture bcse it will be too slippery naaa
Try it first! For many it’s too slippery to get used to.
my only issue is i have the m1 ipad and using paper like just makes the screen look muted and to me that's too much of a trade off. why have this amazing xdr screen but not be able to experience it
Question: I know paperlike helps to sketch, i,e, but how is your viewing of the tablet with papaerlike? I would imagine with all the scratches, does the media, movies or images look okay after 3 months? Do you need to replace the paperlike or use alternative screen protector? When you peal off the paperlike, is the screen face okay or some scratches transfer over?
I got a good one called paper feel and it's really amazing
This is a great review, i enjoyed watching very much, seems like a good product :)
But its only the paperlike with scratches or not?
Very well done review
pls answer: can you remove the paperlike screenprotector because im just curios to ask
yes it can be removed but once you remove it you will need a new one.
Does it damage the tip of the pencil? That is the only thing I am worried about. Becasue of the “roughness”? I suppose I could use a silicon tip to put on top of the pencil’s tip, but I am curious if this is really needed.
Well I have had my scrren protector on for about 2 months and I’ve been using my Apple Pencil on it daily for drawing and video editing and my pencil is still in great condition, it has absolutely no wear and tear and I haven’t had to change anything yet, I just clean my screen and pencil as he instructed every once in a while and everything seems okay! Hope this helps! ☺️( bare in mind I have the paper like 2 which seems to not wear down the top as well)
I just ordered a silicone tip to give my feedback on it! Paperlike seems to add a greater feel of control an precision. I have used the Samsung galaxy tab s6 and the nib is rubber/silicone . It feels great but looses the fine control that I am used to with a pen or pencil ✏️ I have 20 years experience with traditional so for me it makes a huge difference!
@@dammisalami930 hi, that’s great thanks ever so much for this!
@@STICKYArt it’s understandable. I do expect to lose some of the control the more layers are added in between my “tool” and the “canvass”. But then again, I wouldn’t want the pencil to be damaged either. It’s not cheap lol
@@STICKYArt Also, please do let me know how it goes with the tip one you have the chance. That’s great, thank you 😁
