Ben your conclusion was PERFECT. It hit the nail on the head. It's an insult to the public that the company PAPERLIKE is charging $49 for a crappy piece of plastic that probably cost them a dollar to make if even that. Paperlike leaves you with TONS of scratches and a nib worn down. For $49. Get the hell out of here!
While I wholeheartedly agree that the value proposition here is absolutely INSANE, and I would never buy one, let alone at that price… it must be separately acknowledged that reducing the value/worth of something to ‘it only took them $X to make!’ is incredibly naive and is only a fraction of the amount of factors that go into determining pricing.
as someone who uses their ipad for both drawing purposes and other purposes like watching netflix and youtube, it's really hard to choose between a matte screen protector which feels so good while drawing and a really great pretty screen. I mean I'm not that obsessed with having a beautiful screen, I never even thought I would notice, but I used paperlike once and I felt like it was a bit too matte and dull if that makes sense...
IMO its not worth paying paperlike becasue it will ruine your experience with the iPad. I cant handle the decrease in brightness plus it will ruine your apple pencil.
There are removable reusable paper feel screen protectors that use atomic bonding to adhere to the glass, no adhesives, just two really smooth surfaces. There are also magnetic ones, but they tend to get air pockets.
wow, i came back to my comment and there seems to be a few replies! Anyways, I did get a paperlike screen protector, even though the screen did dim a little and i had to replace my apple pencil tip once, I do really like the friction and texture when im writing down notes and drawing. i personally would recommend, but i know it's not for evreyone.
I don’t like drawing on a slippy surface . I have the 2017 iPad Pro with a cheaper matte screen protector and although it dulls the screen I like it for the drawing experience . Wacom tablets actually have a toothy surface built in. I wish Apple would do the same with their iPad glass, then we wouldn’t need screen protectors .
@no yup 100%. Apple could make their own, and I’m sure it would be crazy expensive but at least we’d know we would have the best screen protector for the Apple Pencil and the iPad 🤷♂️
Is matte screen protector is reflective like tempered glass? Can you please send me the link of matte screen protector if it is not reflective in day light because i got tempered glass on my ipad and it's gives too much of reflection....... I need matte like screen like dark one so that it doesn't reflect Can help me out ??? I will be grateful to you 🤗
The issue is I am an artist. I need the paper like feel; the thing is I don’t like the glass feeling at all. the point is to make the screen feel a little like paper, the fact that you graded it like a normal screen protector makes it hard for artists not normal I pad users though I understand the concerns and you brought up some great points, I think the point was we don’t want the glassy feel. Though it was a good thought
this guy clearly values screen image/color quality over anything else, which is fine but for artists that draw for hours a day, the feeling of pencil tip on a proper surface is so important
I just put the JETech screen protector on and it is AWFUL one. As an artist it has made Procreate literally unusable since there is NO pressure sensitivity… how tf an I supposed to draw?!?!
I bought my iPad Pro specifically for drawing and I have Paperlike installed. It basically becomes a Wacom Pen Display. Only downside is the visual noise. I agree it is pretty bad but I'm used to using other Pen Displays so it doesn't really bother me. The dream is to have paper texture on a clear screen.
I really like your conclusion here. I kind of believe that not that many people use protective cases and screen protector for their Apple product in the real upper class family. I don't think anyone would bother to use any of these when the money of buying an apple care+ seems to be close to nothing for them. Also, by saying that, you pretty much pushed yourself away from most of the product sponsorships. This really showed us that you are actually being really honest in your video. Thanks for making the world better. (Subbed since the paperlike)
You're very articulate. Really appreciate your honesty! Some people are too biased towards the paperlike since it's popular and all. This video was very helpful
I don’t use any screen protector on my ipad, and I use it for illustrations. It’s honestly the best. Just get a nice protective case and you’re good to go 🤷♀️
As an artist I liked the textured paper-like matte protectors ) Just needed to correct pressure curves in procreate not to destroy pencil nib. But even so you can always buy a pack of new nibs )
It would be great if apple made a version of the iPad pro with an etched glass display like the Wacom display tablets. It provides the perfect amount of texture without obscuring visuals or wearing down the nib too much and it lasts for years.
Bro, you don't know shit. Do you work high up in Apple on the design end of things? If not, sorry but you know nothin lol. I'm willing to bet that they DO eventually design an iPad w/textured screens, mainly cuz they'll always want to keep up w/ competition (ie: wacom, Huion, xpPen, etc.) Never say never when it comes to the future of technology, so many things have been created that it's serious unbelievable, my opinion anyways lol my two cents! 😂😊 wondering if it's my wishful thinking, lol, or does anyone agree w/me here???!! anyone?!! ↓👍 ↓
Thanks! Paperlike is all over the place sponsoring various channels covering iPads that one feels like it is the de facto choice. Other brands almost go unnoticed.
It does seem a bit mad to buy an expensive iPad Pro with an outstanding mini led display and then cover that screen with a sheet of plastic that downgrades the quality of the display just to get a little friction while taking notes. I don’t get it. I agree that the paper like must cost a tiny fraction to manufacture compared to the cost. Ridiculous.
The thing is is that for those who want to draw / do design on the iPad, or take copious notes, a screen protector makes a big difference. There is also the concern (imaginary perhaps?) that excessive use of the Apple Pencil might damage the screen.
@@accentontheoff take it off when though? If only screen protectors could easily come off and be reused again. Rather just use my ipad naked or perhaps a glass protector to retain quality.
For those who says that they don't need or use any screen protector... what if you drop your ipad once and you broke it? Unless your rich, Ipad is still a big investisment and it's always better to take precaution.
Every time I watched a video about artist, they always recommend paper like (not just the brand, just that type of screen protector). I bought it, and I didn’t understand why my pencil tips kept on wearing down. And why the color seems so different when I exported it. I learned that the paperlike screen protector desaturates everything, and it’s matte finish is hard on the pencil tips. Plus makes your screen look all scratchy. I definitely don’t recommend it anymore
I have been putting screen protectors on my iPads ever since they came out and I have bought every one. But now that I have the latest 12.9” iPad Pro I have decided not to. The main reason? They detract terribly from the original screen, particularly screen glare. The new iPad Air 4 and Pros, 11” and 12.9 have great anti-reflective coatings. And they really work. I can sit by a window and have very little reflection on my iPad but with a screen protector, film or glass, the reflections ruin the image, take away the true black screen (12.9”) and spoil this expensive device. Furthermore all glass screen protectors spoil drawings. You cannot draw a line without jitter. Film screen protectors let you draw fine and generally have good resistance but the native glass now on the pros are fine for drawing, there is some pen resistance that you need. A glass protector is too slippery. Further the glass on the iPad has improved so the possibility of scratches has been minimised. Film screen protectors always scratch but with the iPad on you can’t see them. So for the first time in 10 years, no screen protector (yet) and I am enjoying the screen experience so much more. I bet you no one at Apple puts a screen protector on their iPads.
Thanks for sharing. I just got my Pro 12.9" might try drawing for a bit and see how it feels before getting any protectors. I just worry about the nib and scratches on the screen.
@@mollyp.f.7250 When I was drawing on my previous iPad that had a plastic film screen protector it always showed scratches but you couldn’t see them when the iPad was on and it didn’t affect drawing. The Apple Pencil shouldn’t scratch the glass, it being only plastic so I don’t think that’s an issue.
@@markmoriarty7760 hey brother how’s your experience using the Apple Pencil on the display not protected by the tempered glass. I’m also having an IPad Air 4 which has glass screen protector which makes the drawing and note taking so uncomfortable and hectic
@Mark Moriarty are you still protector-less and still liking the experience? I just bought an iPad pro 12.9 " and really don't want to mess with it if I don't need to.
The feel thing is completely subjective. I have a paper texture screen protector (can't remember the brand but not papelike) and it has been a night and day difference for my ability to make use of the Apple pencil. I don't think anyone should expect to retain 100% image quality when using a textured screen protector, it may not even be physically possible. New Apple branded nibs can be bought in a 4 pack, so that isn't a concern. Perhaps I grew up using too much paper and pencil, but when I try and write or draw on the bare glass it makes me cringe up and makes my lines far less predictable, not talking about tracking here. This is my subjective experience on the matter, I would not use my iPad nearly as much without the protector. Now don't get me wrong, do I hate that it lessens the image quality on the iPad? Yes, yes I do. Very much so. Was that something I was aware of before buying the protector? Yes. Either way, it's an informative video and I appreciate the conciseness and thorough review of the products. I wouldn't tell people to not explore textured screen protectors simply for your subjective opinions and experiences. I would surely stray away from companies that are over charging for products (but hey we're watching an Apple accessory video here are we not?). There are a ton of alternative options such as the first protector in this review that do a much better job than the product being pushed down everyone's throat. The reason it's so expensive is likely to recoup their marketing costs.
@@jm7720 id think so, I have original paperlike and it sucks now, image quality is so bad and the paper feeling after a few months is totally gone, but I don't have any scratches in the paperlike. But in sunlight it’s really worse, and you see so many fingerprints. After a week you must clean it to reduce fake display signals on the iPad.
took the words right out of my mouth, like yes it sucks that i might notice some tiny scratches here n there and if i squint hard enough, i might see the graininess, but none of that is worse than having to draw on glass, I literally just hate the feeling so much.. Getting a new ipad soon and i think i'll try without protector for a while and see if I can get used to it, but if I feel like its making me hate the whole drawing experience, matte protector it is, i'll pay for the replacement nib if i have to
the tempered glass screen protector i used were so thick that my line art is wobbly, the problem was solved as soon as i removed the screen protector, wonder if you experienced wobbly lines?
Don’t fully get it. Do you recommend using no protector or the rhino shield protector? In general I’d prefer none, but having two scratches on my display I’m considering to buy one.
best review so far i have seen on this platform. But he made me more confused as did not say which is the best to buy. as i'm not that experience with those screen protectors could have say this by far best.
It’s hard to choose the best one. I’m using my iPad for digital drawing and note taking but also for video editing and photo restorations. So like I need a screen protector that can transfer vivid colors but at the same time that it can’t be too slippery for the Apple Pencil. Any recommendations?
Tbh depending on your model you might not need any protector at all. I'm using Air 4 since February, mostly for writing with apple pencil and comsuing content or sometimes playing games, and so far there's no a single scratch on the screen, even those small ones that tend to show up really fast on phones. Only thing I'm using for protection is a case, because I bring ipad with myself when I'm going outside to study. So unless you're using your tablet in an enviroment where there're things like sand os something else what can damage the screen by simply touching it, or you really tend to drop it by accident - using a book type case is sufficient.
They make matte finished tempered glass screen protectors. I use one of those, and adds a bit of "feel" to writing and drawing. It is glass, so your pencil won't scratch it. I don't use it for drawing very often, so I can't say for sure, but since you're rubbing a plastic Pencil point on what is effectively just textured glass, it may wear down more quickly than normal. I think it would be worth trying, it's not any more expensive than a normal random amazon brand tempered glass, and like any other glass ones, it's easy to install or remove if you don't end up liking it. A couple things I'll note about mine. It resists glare pretty well. I don't use it outside so I can't speak on how that affects direct sunlight usage. Normally though, no noticeable reduction in brightness. There is a *slight* fuzziness added due to the matte finish, but not really enough that I would say it detracts from image quality unless you put your face within a foot of the screen. The matte finish also helps keep fingerprints down, and since it's still glass, it cleans up very easily. I got a Magic trackpad recently, and it feels very similar to that, but the Trackpad has a bit more texture/feel to it. Aside from this one, I'd also say go no screen protector if your use case allows you any peace of mind leaving it without protection. Plastic screen protectors are pretty much all garbage, and most normal tempered glass ones will feel more slippery than your iPad's default screen, and will also add more glare. But I have been happy with matte glass screen protectors on both my 10.5" and 11" iPad Pros.
Talking about tempered glass, I've seen so many people say they got along well also with ESR. I want a good screen quality (so I won't buy matt screen protectors) but I also would like to take notes. What screen protectoe is better between ESR and JETech?
It's a really difficult choice based on your usage... I'm new to the iPad and received my Pro yesterday; am aiming to use it predominantly for art/composition based work and editing so I think I'm going to see how I get along with using the Apple pencil on the screen bare, first.
I dunno Ben. Some of what you say is bound to happen because of what each one is designed for. I.E. The Paperlike is designed to feel like Paper. It’s not sold for photo editing nor HDR content is it? So whilst we all multi-task on our iPads, of course some things will be better without it. I don’t buy Paperlike as I don’t want to lose any screen clarity as my time is spent consuming video and social media. However, if one of them could just make one that utilises magnets or another way, I’d fit one every time I want to write or journal on my iPad. My time is like 90% visual stuff and 10% writing so there’s no way I’m buying one just for that. 🙂👍🏻
I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by the Paperlike! It worked for what I needed at the time, but now that I've replaced my ipad I will definitely be going with something different. Thank you for the suggested alternatives! 🙂
The Bellemond matte screen protector is great (I have one at home and I'm very satisfied). Here's the comparison vs Paperlike: th-cam.com/video/QPZOU6KsZRI/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I love the honesty and the fact you narrowed your search down to products that might fit different needs. As someone who’s going to be using my iPad Air 5 mainly for studying/not taking, should the rhino shield be a good option? Thanks.
To be honest, I feel as if the thing about how drawing on the naked ipad screen at the end wasn't the best critique of the screen protectors. I mean, I have no idea if you're an artist (you could well be and I not know it) but I am curious to know how long you were drawing on the thing at a time. I mean of course, not all artist like or even use paperlike. But the majority of artist I've seen using it are generally the ones who draw 8hrs+ with their Ipad. Now the most experience I've had with the ipad is doing a quick short doodles, but from doing digital art for a while prior to that, it makes complete sense why most artist would want a paperlike or at least a smudge guard. I also don't think using writing as comparison to drawing was the best. When you write you're using different parts of your arm to do so which drastically impacts how much of the screen texture you are experiencing. If you're using you wrist then your hand isn't really on the paper as much; however the same can't be said when using your elbow or shoulder to draw. Of course this is only my opinion (which does not make it exempted from critiscm and is stated to imply the more subjective nature of my argument) and I think you brought up valid points besides that.
Here's the thing with matte screen protectors. It's not about the sensation of it or even the resistance it adds. Being able to feel the texture through the pen gives you direct tactile feedback as to how far and fast your pen is moving. You could even make a stroke with your eyes closed just feeling how many bumps your pen has passed over. In my experience, this has a direct impact on your art allowing you to be faster and more accurate as well as making long drawing sessions less fatiguing. However, I say that as someone who uses their tablet almost exclusively for drawing. If drawing isn't the primary reason you got a tablet then I agree, stay away from matte screen protectors. They lower image quality, eat nibs like potato chips, offer almost no protection, and something not mentioned in this video is that they wear unevenly so the grain isn't even consistent after a few months. But still, if art is your priority I would consider them practically indispensable. At least they are for me.
There is a kind of new paperlike protector that is magnetically attached to iPad. So you can take it off if you don't want to use it and apply it back when you need to write.
@@JMJ.516 The one I bought is not very good because it will slide on screen when writing. I think its magnetic force is too weak to be used. You can check Elecom magnetic paperlike protector or some other brands with similar keywords. But I suggest to check their comments for any possible drawbacks first.
does matt screen protectors ruin the screen of M1 ipad? I am really struggling since there are reviews saying that the protector will damage the display on screen, but I need matt protectors so I can make notes for lectures . I REALLY need some helppppp
matte one kinda take the vibrant color off the ipad display, so not that great to watch anything on matte one, but its ok if you one to uae to make notes but.. it wears off the pencil nib
@@aliashahrin1509 Thanks for your reply, so the matt screen itself wont physically damage(like permanently damage)the actual screen ? just the colour being not as good with the protector on ?
Any chance you find a screen protector that’s glass and doesn’t cause jitter? It can have the most glare in the world but as long as it preserves display quality and has no jitter It’s a godsend.
What worked for me, as a screen protector, was a Bellemond. It eliminated, basically, the problem with wiggling of the Apple Pencil. But here’s a question I have for you, if there is an answer: if we are putting the screen protector on our iPad, what protection do we then have from blue light emissions? No doubt we can’t put a blue light protector over the matte screen protector. This seems like an important concern since people can be spending hours daily at their iPads. Any input appreciated.
@@zimmerhartwig4659 I researched further and came to the conclusion that blue light blocker‘s are not necessary. There is blue light in sunshine for example. There is really no research showing that blue light is doing harm, that I have seen. But hype about it sure sells those little Blue blocker glasses.
How does it feel when you scroll or utilize your hands when using your iPad with the screen protector? Is it like a rough feeling? I want to get a paper like screen protector but I’m worried about how it’ll feel while touching it whenever I’m not using my Apple Pencil
@@imdez6510 Well now that I’ve had Belmond screen protector for a while, I see some problems. First, I don’t really understand your question about the hands, though. Sorry. The problem I have with the screen protector is that it starts to get wrinkly, badly wrinkly after a time. I can just lift off the screen protector till it is almost off the iPad and try smoothing it down again. This works for a while but then along comes those wrinkles again. I would never use paper like as I have heard so many people say bad things about it. But I might start using another screen protector other than Bellemond because I am now more confident with my stylus and maybe don’t need that particular brand.
@@imdez6510 P.S. looking over your post again maybe I am list confused. Maybe. I don’t feel any difference to my hand with Bellemond as opposed to other screen protectors I have tried. But really it seems good to get one of those gloves that have two fingers, so that you can rest your hand on the screen without leaving some smudgy places.
Thank you so much for this video! It definitely helped me in searching for the best screen protector for my soon-to-be Ipad Pro. Although, I do want to ask, how was the drawing/writing experience on the Rhinoshield Impact Screen Protector??? Was it the best compared from the other screen protectors you've reviewed?
If you want to use your iPad for drawing I highly suggest to NOT buy any tempered glass since it will not let you draw any straight line. These screen protectors are too thick and interfere with the Apple pencil.
yea mildly annoyed that this guy doesnt seem to understand a lot of artists need the matte drawing texture.. and it doesnt mean we're suckers for the big paperlike company, its just a necessity to have
I just moved on from the first gen ipad Pro to the M2. I drew on my old ipad almost everyday since it came out (2017) never installed a protector. You get used to the smooth surface so quickly I promise. After 6+ I never had to change the tip of my pencil. Just bought the apple pencil 2 and I will follow down the same path of no screen protectors, they're really not necessary.
@@GrigRP hardly any noticeable. They're mostly the tiny kind that you can only see in verty specific angles and under direct light which doesn't affect everday use experience at all. I mostly used it at my desk and took it to school weekly without a sleeve or case, just in my backpack.
@@joexulaje I’ve had my pro 12.9 for 2yrs w/o a screen protector but with a ZUGU protective case only and have zero scratches. I am careful to close the case every time when not in use. My husband will be getting the pro 12.9 M2 for Christmas and a screen protector and case because he’s not so careful.
My paperlike screen protector got so scratched to the point I was having difficulty drawing just by regular use with a case that covers the screen, it only lasted a year
@@snownoart4657 from my experience with them, yes they are. But I have always draw in smooth surfaces even in the Wacom (I used to add a plastic smooth sheet to it in order to avoid that texture), if you need the textured surface you might find it strange in the beginning but you will definitely get used to it. Colours preserve and bright is not decreased. You might get some glare(?) but I won’t be certain since I add the protector since I received my iPad. For me is very comfortable and finger marks are easily removed with a single micro fiber and a little of alcohol ^^
Trading the vivid screen colours with a matte colour "soft" is one of the most unpleasant effects. I also don't use any screen protector on my IPad mini 7.
So which is the best screen protector for a procreate artist I used paperlike on my old gen IPads and was not really bothered by anything as for me I use my iPad for drawing more than anything else - I now have the IPad Pro 2021 12.9
I just tried the JETech screen protector and it is really bad. I don't know if you like to draw on sandpaper but this the feeling I have with it. I have my old paperlike 2 to compare and I think it is way better than JETech. Also I pretty sure it will destroy my apple pencil if i keep using it...
Check the Bellemond matte screen protector. I have one and I'm very satisfied. Plus, here's another honest review form a youtube: th-cam.com/video/QPZOU6KsZRI/w-d-xo.html
I m currently using an ipad pro 12.9 2021 without any screen protection beside the magic keyboard(I installed a tempered glass one, but removed it after a day or two due to too much reflection), it really feels great but sometimes Im concerned to scratch it, do you think long term the apple pencil marks will add up? I really dont like the idea of spending so much on a device and bringing his usability down(reflection due to tempered glass) cause of unnecessary worries I was really fasciated by your 2 videos, you’re one of the few youtubers talking about it, but I cant find much information on the durability of the screen itself, feels wierd asking, but I wanna hear more from you Ps: I m not an artist, I do mainly notetaking and occasionaly some photo editing
The glass screen feels nice but it doesn’t feel good for me to draw since the purpose for me to buy the ipad is to-draw. It’s slippery especially my hand sweats a lot it’s annoying. I am having a hard time enjoying my ipad coz of it. It’s like instead of me using it i end up taking care of it so bad to the point I don’t wanna use it.😭😰😵💫 So, I want to know if matte screen is good but i heard it lowers the quality and destroy the prncil😭🙈 im confused
I'm trying a different kind of protector then the ones here. A GLASS "paperlike" screen protector. Its both glass and matte at the same time. I'll see how that goes, I just got an ipad to draw with but the smooth glass does bother me. Also about the pen, you can just buy replacement tips, they are like 20 bucks for 4 tips. So if you do mess up a tip you dont have to buy the pencil from scratch again at least.
Get a Thin Hydrogel Ghost Armor type. It’s not glass. It’s totally different, you should’ve totally included this. A good quality Hydrogel is really where it’s at.
So eventually I didn’t understand which one is better for me? (I need good experience for writing with pen control and photo editing in Adobe softwares), regardless of price. Please advise.
Good video! I just kind of jumped into it without researching and went for the JETech write like paper screen protector, hopefully there wont be any significant wear and tear on the pencil but even so, is the tip replacable on the apple pencil?

Is it hard to draw on glass or do you get used to it? So it doesn’t cause scratches and your nib is fine?
@@dutchdearslisa It causes small scratches
Hi hows your screen year after? Did it get hairline scratches?

Exactly the type of reviews I'm hoping for when browsing for solutions. Thanks s much man, keep it up!
I am using a tempered glass screen protector and the tracking is significantly worse now, it has some jitter in the slow diagonal strokes.
As an artist I liked the textured paper-like matte protectors )
Just needed to correct pressure curves in procreate not to destroy pencil nib.
But even so you can always buy a pack of new nibs )
It would be great if apple made a version of the iPad pro with an etched glass display like the Wacom display tablets. It provides the perfect amount of texture without obscuring visuals or wearing down the nib too much and it lasts for years.
They will never ever do that like ever lol but keep dreaming
Bro, you don't know shit. Do you work high up in Apple on the design end of things? If not, sorry but you know nothin lol. I'm willing to bet that they DO eventually design an iPad w/textured screens, mainly cuz they'll always want to keep up w/ competition (ie: wacom, Huion, xpPen, etc.)
Never say never when it comes to the future of technology, so many things have been created that it's serious unbelievable, my opinion anyways lol my two cents! 😂😊
wondering if it's my wishful thinking, lol, or does anyone agree w/me here???!! anyone?!!
↓👍 ↓
Thanks! Paperlike is all over the place sponsoring various channels covering iPads that one feels like it is the de facto choice. Other brands almost go unnoticed.
bellemond is another but wears nibs ( but hardly any scratches )
At 2:40 you can see the wobbly line caused by the screen protector. If you need precision don't use glass protectors
Your honesty got you a new subscriber. Keep it for the long run. Miles to go. Going good.
It does seem a bit mad to buy an expensive iPad Pro with an outstanding mini led display and then cover that screen with a sheet of plastic that downgrades the quality of the display just to get a little friction while taking notes. I don’t get it.
I agree that the paper like must cost a tiny fraction to manufacture compared to the cost. Ridiculous.
agreed
The thing is is that for those who want to draw / do design on the iPad, or take copious notes, a screen protector makes a big difference. There is also the concern (imaginary perhaps?) that excessive use of the Apple Pencil might damage the screen.
The apple pencil will definitely not damage the screen its much softer but ya
@@The_MEMEphis Sure.
@@accentontheoff that's why you have tip replacements the tip will wear down
@@The_MEMEphis True but it’s an expensive device and I worry. So I put a screen anyway. Can always take it off later.
@@accentontheoff take it off when though? If only screen protectors could easily come off and be reused again. Rather just use my ipad naked or perhaps a glass protector to retain quality.
Review I waited all my life . Loved it .
Please make one on how it feels writing on glass tempered or without tempered
For those who says that they don't need or use any screen protector... what if you drop your ipad once and you broke it? Unless your rich, Ipad is still a big investisment and it's always better to take precaution.
Every time I watched a video about artist, they always recommend paper like (not just the brand, just that type of screen protector). I bought it, and I didn’t understand why my pencil tips kept on wearing down. And why the color seems so different when I exported it. I learned that the paperlike screen protector desaturates everything, and it’s matte finish is hard on the pencil tips. Plus makes your screen look all scratchy. I definitely don’t recommend it anymore
I have been putting screen protectors on my iPads ever since they came out and I have bought every one. But now that I have the latest 12.9” iPad Pro I have decided not to. The main reason? They detract terribly from the original screen, particularly screen glare. The new iPad Air 4 and Pros, 11” and 12.9 have great anti-reflective coatings. And they really work. I can sit by a window and have very little reflection on my iPad but with a screen protector, film or glass, the reflections ruin the image, take away the true black screen (12.9”) and spoil this expensive device. Furthermore all glass screen protectors spoil drawings. You cannot draw a line without jitter. Film screen protectors let you draw fine and generally have good resistance but the native glass now on the pros are fine for drawing, there is some pen resistance that you need. A glass protector is too slippery. Further the glass on the iPad has improved so the possibility of scratches has been minimised. Film screen protectors always scratch but with the iPad on you can’t see them. So for the first time in 10 years, no screen protector (yet) and I am enjoying the screen experience so much more. I bet you no one at Apple puts a screen protector on their iPads.
Thanks for sharing. I just got my Pro 12.9" might try drawing for a bit and see how it feels before getting any protectors. I just worry about the nib and scratches on the screen.
@@mollyp.f.7250 When I was drawing on my previous iPad that had a plastic film screen protector it always showed scratches but you couldn’t see them when the iPad was on and it didn’t affect drawing. The Apple Pencil shouldn’t scratch the glass, it being only plastic so I don’t think that’s an issue.
@@markmoriarty7760 hey brother how’s your experience using the Apple Pencil on the display not protected by the tempered glass. I’m also having an IPad Air 4 which has glass screen protector which makes the drawing and note taking so uncomfortable and hectic
@@adilnizam2120 No problem at at all.
@Mark Moriarty are you still protector-less and still liking the experience? I just bought an iPad pro 12.9 " and really don't want to mess with it if I don't need to.
Sorry, which is the best screen protector from the conclusion. Thanks
What about using the paper feel plastic screen protector over the tempered glass screen protector
The feel thing is completely subjective. I have a paper texture screen protector (can't remember the brand but not papelike) and it has been a night and day difference for my ability to make use of the Apple pencil. I don't think anyone should expect to retain 100% image quality when using a textured screen protector, it may not even be physically possible. New Apple branded nibs can be bought in a 4 pack, so that isn't a concern. Perhaps I grew up using too much paper and pencil, but when I try and write or draw on the bare glass it makes me cringe up and makes my lines far less predictable, not talking about tracking here. This is my subjective experience on the matter, I would not use my iPad nearly as much without the protector. Now don't get me wrong, do I hate that it lessens the image quality on the iPad? Yes, yes I do. Very much so. Was that something I was aware of before buying the protector? Yes.
Either way, it's an informative video and I appreciate the conciseness and thorough review of the products. I wouldn't tell people to not explore textured screen protectors simply for your subjective opinions and experiences. I would surely stray away from companies that are over charging for products (but hey we're watching an Apple accessory video here are we not?). There are a ton of alternative options such as the first protector in this review that do a much better job than the product being pushed down everyone's throat. The reason it's so expensive is likely to recoup their marketing costs.
hope you enjoy looking at a screen with a bazillion scratches all over it as thats what your getting using paperlike style products
@@jm7720 id think so, I have original paperlike and it sucks now, image quality is so bad and the paper feeling after a few months is totally gone, but I don't have any scratches in the paperlike. But in sunlight it’s really worse, and you see so many fingerprints. After a week you must clean it to reduce fake display signals on the iPad.
took the words right out of my mouth, like yes it sucks that i might notice some tiny scratches here n there and if i squint hard enough, i might see the graininess, but none of that is worse than having to draw on glass, I literally just hate the feeling so much.. Getting a new ipad soon and i think i'll try without protector for a while and see if I can get used to it, but if I feel like its making me hate the whole drawing experience, matte protector it is, i'll pay for the replacement nib if i have to
the tempered glass screen protector i used were so thick that my line art is wobbly, the problem was solved as soon as i removed the screen protector, wonder if you experienced wobbly lines?
Don’t fully get it. Do you recommend using no protector or the rhino shield protector?
In general I’d prefer none, but having two scratches on my display I’m considering to buy one.
best review so far i have seen on this platform. But he made me more confused as did not say which is the best to buy. as i'm not that experience with those screen protectors could have say this by far best.
It’s hard to choose the best one. I’m using my iPad for digital drawing and note taking but also for video editing and photo restorations. So like I need a screen protector that can transfer vivid colors but at the same time that it can’t be too slippery for the Apple Pencil.
Any recommendations?
Tbh depending on your model you might not need any protector at all. I'm using Air 4 since February, mostly for writing with apple pencil and comsuing content or sometimes playing games, and so far there's no a single scratch on the screen, even those small ones that tend to show up really fast on phones.
Only thing I'm using for protection is a case, because I bring ipad with myself when I'm going outside to study. So unless you're using your tablet in an enviroment where there're things like sand os something else what can damage the screen by simply touching it, or you really tend to drop it by accident - using a book type case is sufficient.
They make matte finished tempered glass screen protectors. I use one of those, and adds a bit of "feel" to writing and drawing. It is glass, so your pencil won't scratch it. I don't use it for drawing very often, so I can't say for sure, but since you're rubbing a plastic Pencil point on what is effectively just textured glass, it may wear down more quickly than normal.
I think it would be worth trying, it's not any more expensive than a normal random amazon brand tempered glass, and like any other glass ones, it's easy to install or remove if you don't end up liking it.
A couple things I'll note about mine. It resists glare pretty well. I don't use it outside so I can't speak on how that affects direct sunlight usage. Normally though, no noticeable reduction in brightness. There is a *slight* fuzziness added due to the matte finish, but not really enough that I would say it detracts from image quality unless you put your face within a foot of the screen. The matte finish also helps keep fingerprints down, and since it's still glass, it cleans up very easily. I got a Magic trackpad recently, and it feels very similar to that, but the Trackpad has a bit more texture/feel to it.
Aside from this one, I'd also say go no screen protector if your use case allows you any peace of mind leaving it without protection. Plastic screen protectors are pretty much all garbage, and most normal tempered glass ones will feel more slippery than your iPad's default screen, and will also add more glare.
But I have been happy with matte glass screen protectors on both my 10.5" and 11" iPad Pros.
@@joeyl.3007 What is the name of the brand you use?
@@joeyl.3007 JOEY you didn't us which protector you use. Brand name please :)
@@joeyl.3007 u really wrote all that and didnt think the name of the damn protector was important? Tf?
Those ending words spoke true facts...
But that's also the reason most people add a screen protector. To save the massive costs if the screen cracks.
Talking about tempered glass, I've seen so many people say they got along well also with ESR. I want a good screen quality (so I won't buy matt screen protectors) but I also would like to take notes. What screen protectoe is better between ESR and JETech?
Maybe someone should produce a gel screen wrap with this texture on it so you can pop it on and off like a phone case?
It's a really difficult choice based on your usage... I'm new to the iPad and received my Pro yesterday; am aiming to use it predominantly for art/composition based work and editing so I think I'm going to see how I get along with using the Apple pencil on the screen bare, first.
Me too, I’m getting it next week but to decide i’m going to see how I feel with bare first
how did it go? Did it damage the screen?
@@lou-lu2644 I use the pencil on the bare screen and it’s been flawless 😊
Thanks mate for your honest review. Two years later, do you still think the Rhino is the best?
I dunno Ben. Some of what you say is bound to happen because of what each one is designed for. I.E. The Paperlike is designed to feel like Paper. It’s not sold for photo editing nor HDR content is it? So whilst we all multi-task on our iPads, of course some things will be better without it. I don’t buy Paperlike as I don’t want to lose any screen clarity as my time is spent consuming video and social media. However, if one of them could just make one that utilises magnets or another way, I’d fit one every time I want to write or journal on my iPad. My time is like 90% visual stuff and 10% writing so there’s no way I’m buying one just for that. 🙂👍🏻
Have a look on amazon, there are a lot of 'paper like' magnetic fit screen protectors. I've got one and it's perfect.
What did you buy for screen protector then?
@@moya6923 - Hi 🙂 I don’t use one. No need for it. Never use one on an iPhone I always end up peeling them off.
THE IRONY of getting a Paperlike ad on this video.
i saw an option to have a matte like screen that lays over your ipad to draw
I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by the Paperlike! It worked for what I needed at the time, but now that I've replaced my ipad I will definitely be going with something different. Thank you for the suggested alternatives! 🙂
what screen protector are you using now?
Does Rhino work for the iPad 10th gen? Since the cam is horizontal
What would you recommend for a screen protector (or none) for writing?
I think the first one is the best because its the paperlike alternative
None , use as how apple advertise and intended for you to use
The Bellemond matte screen protector is great (I have one at home and I'm very satisfied). Here's the comparison vs Paperlike: th-cam.com/video/QPZOU6KsZRI/w-d-xo.html
finally a youtuber who is jot puahing paperlike
Great video. I love the honesty and the fact you narrowed your search down to products that might fit different needs. As someone who’s going to be using my iPad Air 5 mainly for studying/not taking, should the rhino shield be a good option? Thanks.
To be honest, I feel as if the thing about how drawing on the naked ipad screen at the end wasn't the best critique of the screen protectors. I mean, I have no idea if you're an artist (you could well be and I not know it) but I am curious to know how long you were drawing on the thing at a time. I mean of course, not all artist like or even use paperlike. But the majority of artist I've seen using it are generally the ones who draw 8hrs+ with their Ipad. Now the most experience I've had with the ipad is doing a quick short doodles, but from doing digital art for a while prior to that, it makes complete sense why most artist would want a paperlike or at least a smudge guard. I also don't think using writing as comparison to drawing was the best. When you write you're using different parts of your arm to do so which drastically impacts how much of the screen texture you are experiencing. If you're using you wrist then your hand isn't really on the paper as much; however the same can't be said when using your elbow or shoulder to draw.
Of course this is only my opinion (which does not make it exempted from critiscm and is stated to imply the more subjective nature of my argument) and I think you brought up valid points besides that.
Here's the thing with matte screen protectors. It's not about the sensation of it or even the resistance it adds. Being able to feel the texture through the pen gives you direct tactile feedback as to how far and fast your pen is moving. You could even make a stroke with your eyes closed just feeling how many bumps your pen has passed over. In my experience, this has a direct impact on your art allowing you to be faster and more accurate as well as making long drawing sessions less fatiguing.
However, I say that as someone who uses their tablet almost exclusively for drawing. If drawing isn't the primary reason you got a tablet then I agree, stay away from matte screen protectors. They lower image quality, eat nibs like potato chips, offer almost no protection, and something not mentioned in this video is that they wear unevenly so the grain isn't even consistent after a few months. But still, if art is your priority I would consider them practically indispensable. At least they are for me.

What screen protector did you decide on in the end?
There is a kind of new paperlike protector that is magnetically attached to iPad. So you can take it off if you don't want to use it and apply it back when you need to write.
Do you have any names for any good one?
@@pranaygoel9772 I bought one and it is in delivery, so maybe few days later
What brand is it? Did you buy it off Amazon or somewhere else?
@@JMJ.516 The one I bought is not very good because it will slide on screen when writing. I think its magnetic force is too weak to be used. You can check Elecom magnetic paperlike protector or some other brands with similar keywords. But I suggest to check their comments for any possible drawbacks first.
does matt screen protectors ruin the screen of M1 ipad? I am really struggling since there are reviews saying that the protector will damage the display on screen, but I need matt protectors so I can make notes for lectures . I REALLY need some helppppp
matte one kinda take the vibrant color off the ipad display, so not that great to watch anything on matte one, but its ok if you one to uae to make notes but.. it wears off the pencil nib

You can actually buy a magnetic matt screen protector on Amazon that attaches to your iPad when needed and you take it off when you finish. 😊
@@XXANGELRXX ty, its very nice of you (*¯︶¯*)
Any chance you find a screen protector that’s glass and doesn’t cause jitter? It can have the most glare in the world but as long as it preserves display quality and has no jitter It’s a godsend.
If you found one, please let me know
I love your IPad’s background. Can I get a link?
What worked for me, as a screen protector, was a Bellemond. It eliminated, basically, the problem with wiggling of the Apple Pencil.
But here’s a question I have for you, if there is an answer: if we are putting the screen protector on our iPad, what protection do we then have from blue light emissions? No doubt we can’t put a blue light protector over the matte screen protector.
This seems like an important concern since people can be spending hours daily at their iPads. Any input appreciated.
blue light glasses, if you have to wear glasses already like myself you can get them on top of a prescription as a 2 in 1 sort of thing
@@zimmerhartwig4659 I researched further and came to the conclusion that blue light blocker‘s are not necessary. There is blue light in sunshine for example. There is really no research showing that blue light is doing harm, that I have seen. But hype about it sure sells those little Blue blocker glasses.
How does it feel when you scroll or utilize your hands when using your iPad with the screen protector? Is it like a rough feeling? I want to get a paper like screen protector but I’m worried about how it’ll feel while touching it whenever I’m not using my Apple Pencil
@@imdez6510 Well now that I’ve had Belmond screen protector for a while, I see some problems.
First, I don’t really understand your question about the hands, though. Sorry.
The problem I have with the screen protector is that it starts to get wrinkly, badly wrinkly after a time.
I can just lift off the screen protector till it is almost off the iPad and try smoothing it down again. This works for a while but then along comes those wrinkles again.
I would never use paper like as I have heard so many people say bad things about it.
But I might start using another screen protector other than Bellemond because I am now more confident with my stylus and maybe don’t need that particular brand.
@@imdez6510 P.S. looking over your post again maybe I am list confused. Maybe. I don’t feel any difference to my hand with Bellemond as opposed to other screen protectors I have tried.
But really it seems good to get one of those gloves that have two fingers, so that you can rest your hand on the screen without leaving some smudgy
places.
Thank you so much for this video! It definitely helped me in searching for the best screen protector for my soon-to-be Ipad Pro. Although, I do want to ask, how was the drawing/writing experience on the Rhinoshield Impact Screen Protector??? Was it the best compared from the other screen protectors you've reviewed?
If you want to use your iPad for drawing I highly suggest to NOT buy any tempered glass since it will not let you draw any straight line. These screen protectors are too thick and interfere with the Apple pencil.
Do you know any screen protector to use to drawing? (i hate paperlike)
yea mildly annoyed that this guy doesnt seem to understand a lot of artists need the matte drawing texture.. and it doesnt mean we're suckers for the big paperlike company, its just a necessity to have
I just moved on from the first gen ipad Pro to the M2. I drew on my old ipad almost everyday since it came out (2017) never installed a protector. You get used to the smooth surface so quickly I promise. After 6+ I never had to change the tip of my pencil. Just bought the apple pencil 2 and I will follow down the same path of no screen protectors, they're really not necessary.
How many scratches do you have on the original?
@@GrigRP hardly any noticeable. They're mostly the tiny kind that you can only see in verty specific angles and under direct light which doesn't affect everday use experience at all. I mostly used it at my desk and took it to school weekly without a sleeve or case, just in my backpack.

Is it good for drawing?
@@snownoart4657 from my experience with them, yes they are. But I have always draw in smooth surfaces even in the Wacom (I used to add a plastic smooth sheet to it in order to avoid that texture), if you need the textured surface you might find it strange in the beginning but you will definitely get used to it. Colours preserve and bright is not decreased. You might get some glare(?) but I won’t be certain since I add the protector since I received my iPad. For me is very comfortable and finger marks are easily removed with a single micro fiber and a little of alcohol ^^
Theres videos of that screen protector causing really bad jitter tho lol
Trading the vivid screen colours with a matte colour "soft" is one of the most unpleasant effects. I also don't use any screen protector on my IPad mini 7.
Not a fan of paperlike. But you zoomed in the image for paperlike and not for JETech.
I ordered the JETech protector but it is just normal glass, it is nothing like paper like in your bideo
So which is the best screen protector for a procreate artist I used paperlike on my old gen IPads and was not really bothered by anything as for me I use my iPad for drawing more than anything else - I now have the IPad Pro 2021 12.9
Thx for this - saved me loads of money!
I just tried the JETech screen protector and it is really bad. I don't know if you like to draw on sandpaper but this the feeling I have with it. I have my old paperlike 2 to compare and I think it is way better than JETech. Also I pretty sure it will destroy my apple pencil if i keep using it...

Did you try to e spigen screen shield?
Thank you! Great information and quick to the point video. Much appreciated.
I m currently using an ipad pro 12.9 2021 without any screen protection beside the magic keyboard(I installed a tempered glass one, but removed it after a day or two due to too much reflection), it really feels great but sometimes Im concerned to scratch it, do you think long term the apple pencil marks will add up?
I really dont like the idea of spending so much on a device and bringing his usability down(reflection due to tempered glass) cause of unnecessary worries
I was really fasciated by your 2 videos, you’re one of the few youtubers talking about it, but I cant find much information on the durability of the screen itself, feels wierd asking, but I wanna hear more from you
Ps: I m not an artist, I do mainly notetaking and occasionaly some photo editing
Good points. I believe the screen protector I am using (ICAREZ) is too rough and believe it dims the screen
Hi! I'm planning to get the Rhinoshield Impact Protection. Is it difficult to install?
The glass screen feels nice but it doesn’t feel good for me to draw since the purpose for me to buy the ipad is to-draw. It’s slippery especially my hand sweats a lot it’s annoying. I am having a hard time enjoying my ipad coz of it. It’s like instead of me using it i end up taking care of it so bad to the point I don’t wanna use it.😭😰😵💫 So, I want to know if matte screen is good but i heard it lowers the quality and destroy the prncil😭🙈 im confused
I'm trying a different kind of protector then the ones here. A GLASS "paperlike" screen protector. Its both glass and matte at the same time. I'll see how that goes, I just got an ipad to draw with but the smooth glass does bother me. Also about the pen, you can just buy replacement tips, they are like 20 bucks for 4 tips. So if you do mess up a tip you dont have to buy the pencil from scratch again at least.
Get a Thin Hydrogel Ghost Armor type. It’s not glass. It’s totally different, you should’ve totally included this. A good quality Hydrogel is really where it’s at.
So eventually I didn’t understand which one is better for me? (I need good experience for writing with pen control and photo editing in Adobe softwares), regardless of price. Please advise.
Did you get it
Good and thorough review thank u
Pls give the Indian link for buying?
Good video! I just kind of jumped into it without researching and went for the JETech write like paper screen protector, hopefully there wont be any significant wear and tear on the pencil but even so, is the tip replacable on the apple pencil?
Sure is - you can buy them from Apple directly, and they aren't overly expensive.
Whats the best screen you got? And how its going?
Thank you so much! I find this very helpful
