Paperlike 2.0 (Previous Model) for iPad Mini 7.9" (2019) - Screen Protector for Drawing and Writing like on Paper

This is probably the forth or fifth screen protector I've installed on my iPad. Up to this point, they've claimed to be "paper-like" or fingerprint-proof, easy to install, or something else, all of which they were not.I was skeptical this would be any different, and the price kept me away for so long. Finally, being fed up with all the other garbage protectors I had installed, I gave this a try. I am more than pleased with the installation, the fit is perfect, not one air bubble or piece of trash under the screen.As far as the writing surface, no more writing on a piece of glass. I absolutely love the feel. Time will tell how well it holds up, but so far, two thumbs up!

Paperlike really makes ✍️ on my iPad so much easier. My pencil doesn't slip across my screen by accident anymore. It is easy to write just like on paper. It is expensive and I almost didn't buy it because of that but I am very glad I bit the bullet.For those who report thier pencil tip is worn down, you must be pushing EXTREMELY hard on your pencil for that to happen.

There is a reason PaperLike is the most recommended "paper like" screen protector on the market. Do not rush the installation. Again DO NOT rush the installation; follow the tutorial, pause it, rewind, and follow it and the process is simple and bubble-free. It is glare-free, and makes finger prints disappear. But the HUGE plus is when you write on it, it feels like paper.

I read a lot and watches a lot of videos online about the PaperLike screen protector before deciding to buy one. The price is expensive in my opinion but at least you get 2 PaperLike screen protectors in the package, probably for a scenario if you failed installing it at the first time. And thanks for that because the first time I installed it on my iPad Mini 5 it didn't go well - even though I installed it in a clean environment. Fortunately, the second attempt to install with the second piece it went smooth and without any issues. Here are my thoughts about it:It sure makes the iPad less glossy - not 100% matte, but it's much better than without it. For drawing purposes it's wonderful as it makes more friction for the Apple Pencil plastic nib, versus drawing with it on the iPad's pure glass or on non-textured screen protectors. I also find it more enjoyable for reading e-books on the Kindle app as it makes your iPad look more like paper and feel more like paper when turning pages.The downside to some people might be if you're using your iPad for other purposes than just drawing and you prefer the pure glossy look and smooth touch feel. I already have an old iPad Pro 9.7" with traditional non-textured screen protector which looks glossy and feels smooth for the touch, and I bought the iPad Mini mainly for drawing. So for me I don't see it as a downside. But if you only have 1 iPad and glossy look and smooth feel is important for you, you might want to consider another solution such as rubber nib add-ons which can also be found here on Amazon. I didn't tried them but they should give more friction when drawing on the iPad's pure glass or on traditional non-textured screen protectors.

Im usually really hesitant to get these kinds of products but omg I love it. the video for application was extremely easy to follow. The packaging was really nice as well. I like that they include a thank-you post card. That was sweet. It felt really weird after first applying it, but def helps with drawing- more than I initially expected. I’m pretty sensitive to textures but I like how it feels. ✌️Yeeee okay

The first one had way too many bubbles.Just barely got the second one on with minimized bubbles.I ripped it off within 5 minutes on installing it. The screen was appeared too dull. Not worth sacrificing clarity for a better pen experience for the way I use the iPad.

The film I liked a lot . . it does improve drawing or writing on the Ipad. The pencil doesn't have a slick surface to go sliding across. My only comment, and it is not a complaint, is that one must be VERY careful laying the film to the surface. I guess that's why you get two pieces of paperlike.

Has a really nice texture, the pencil makes that satisfying pencil on paper noise when drawing on it! It has a nice feel when drawing or writing and unlike some other matte protectors any fingerprints on it don’t make any difference to how the pencil glides over it!Very happy!
