2 PACK Paper Screen Protector for iPad Air 5th/4th Generation, iPad Pro 11 inch (2022/2021/2020/2018), Matte PET Film for iPad Air 5/4(10.9"), Write and Draw Like on Paper, Anti-Glare Screen Protector

I was disappointed upon arrival because my item was bent at the corner. Most likely an issue with the postal service not being careful with it ;( that annoyed me. The corner of the box it came in had a bend, I opened it, the shield comes in another cardboard sleeve and that was bent as well. I set the shield flat on my iPad and it had a curve too. I applied the shield and that was okay.The application process is more difficult than a regular shield and I’m particular about how I want my shields to be perfectly applied. I’ve done many applications and this one was tough but maybe I’d get better at it over time if I did more of these paper like installations.I like the sort of anti glare look to it. Especially for reading ebooks. I like the grainy texture the shield has when I use my Apple pencil2. It reminds me of the drawing paper you can sometimes buy from certain stores. It’s sort of therapeutic to even just doodle on that grainy surface lol so sometimes to get distracted from what I was drawing and just doodle instead. Only today did I experience something weird on my screen. Unsure if it’s due to the shield. The iPad screen itself or what. I was drawing and on one part of the screen a shadow would appear a few centimeters away from where I was drawing and would follow the pencil as I wrote on the screen. It only happened in one particular area. I closed app. It still happened. I put iPad to sleep because I had to go do something. Returned and the weird glitch was gone. It was probably true ipad being weird. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Googled it and couldn’t find anything on it. If I draw with the pen pointing completely down then I do get a weird squeaky sound that gives me the same effect if I hear nails on a board. A cringey sound. But who holds their pencil like that to write or draw? We all hold it at an angle and at an angle it’s fine. No weird sound. Been using my Apple Pencil for a week. I draw when I have free time which isn’t a lot. Hasn’t shown any wear on the tip of my pencil. Not yet at least as I see lots of people say this can happen with a shield like this so I order new ones from apple just in case. It’s only $20 for 4 tips. I rather this than write on a glossy glass screen. It also makes a sound that sounds like you’re writing on paper. Someone said their Apple Pencil 2 isn’t compatible with the shield and seller shouldn’t market it as that lol well mine worked 100%. No issues there. Most likely an issue with their iPad or the pencil itself. The tip perhaps. I’m just upset that my shield was bent in transit smh.So I’ve bought like 10 of these lol yes the packs come with 2. Overtime I noticed I like having these on hand because I write so much and draw on my iPad. Some days I use it for 5 hours with my Apple Pencil. I’ve even gotten better at applying it. I didn’t like thar about the shield at first. It always seemed like the shield wasn’t made to fit perfectly. Something was always off and I’m really good at applying screen protectors but this one always seemed wonky because when a case was put on, edges started lifting. Really hated that but dealt with it. I really like the graininess of this shield and if it ain’t broke why should I try others. My friend has a shield from a different seller on Amazon. It’s matte. Grainy for writing and I applied it for my friend. The shield is different. Just isn’t like this one and I like this one’s texture way better. I bought a shield for my mini. This company didn’t have any for my mini. Idk if they do now. The texture on the mini shield is also different. I keep buying more because of how often I write. It takes away the graininess. Like it doesn’t but it gets worn down in a way after writing on it with my pencil for so long over time. The screen looks great on my iPad even then but I prefer a fresh screen shield for my pencil because I like the feel as I write and draw. This two last times I applied it I actually think I figured out how to properly apply it. I had to compensate when aligning it because this application process needs the three stickers at the bottom to hold the shield in place when the shield still currently has two plastic protectors on both sides.UPDATE January 2023:So I’ve bought like 10 of these by now and it is still because I draw and write so much on my iPad daily. I don’t know if I already mentioned this but of course apple tips wear out too. Don’t let that deter you from getting a matte shield paper like screen protector. It will wear your apple tip but depends on your usage. My friend that draws a lot too has only replicated her tip maybe once or twice a year lol and she has a matte protector too. I think I’m just heavy handed as I go through anywhere from 2-4 tips a month. But it’s not rocket science and some reviews on Amazon and YouTube have some people raging like these screen protectors are the devil. IT WORE MY PENCIL TIP DOWN! BANISH IT! The shield is grainy and will cause friction against the pencil tips thus wearing it down over time. I do not regret it at all. If you are strapped for cash then it’s best to stick with a glass shield then. Some people say they hate it and that’s why people get matte/paper like shields. I actually tried writing on my glossy iPad screen for the first time ever this past week because on my second iPad I changed the matte screen to a glass one. I was expecting a trash experience writing on it but it wasn’t bad at all. It was nice and smooth. I assumed the pencil would glide quickly and slip here and there. Idk it was nice. I still prefer as if I’m writing on a sketch book page but that wasn’t bad at all. It felt so smooth and gentle lol

It’s been about a month since I have ordered this screen protector for my iPad pro 11’’ for the first time. At the time of purchase, I was looking for a cheaper yet durable alternative to the screen protector made by Paperlike and so far, it’s been working pretty well. Although it’s only been a month of usage, despite my iPad have been dropped to the ground once and occasionally hitting the corners of the solid objects, it’s held up pretty well and there has not been a single crack on the iPad screen.As for the texture of this protector which supposedly resembles the feeling of writing on a piece of paper, having been a long-time notetaker using normal papers, I would say the feeling is quite different, it’s a texture that takes some time getting used to when writing on the iPad with the Apple Pencil, however, it’s tolerable and it does its job of protecting my screen so I’m happy with my purchase so far.Also, if you look at the pictures that I posted carefully, you could see that at the bottom left corner and on the top of iPad, the screen protector appears as though it doesn’t fit the iPad. That’s NOT true. It does fit the iPad and the bubble that you see was my mistake for not aligning the screen protector properly when I was applying it to the iPad, and the part that seems peeled off at the top was because I tried to re-adjust it by attempting to lift the screen protector after it has been attached onto the screen because I noticed that there was a piece of dust on the screen and was worried that it would create air bubble and knowing myself, I would get annoyed that there’s a tiny dust there. So those were my mistakes, not the screen protector itself.If you read the above paragraph, you probably think the application process of this screen protector isn’t easy. Well...I don’t completely agree or disagree with you. From my experience, applying it onto my screen wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to do, however, the actual instruction was easy to follow (there’s also a video example to follow), and I think it just takes some practice and getting used to.Finally, customer service was great when I reached out to them for product warranty registration, which is free (so make sure you do it in case you need a replacement!), as I received a reply the next day. When I asked them for a replacement, the product arrived two days later and I pretty impressed.So yes, I would recommend this product to anyone that looks for a reasonably-priced and durable screen protector.Below I have also included tips for applying this screen protector from my own experience and the iPad-related products that I used and paired with the screen protector for anyone who’s looking for a secure protection for their iPad.Tips:- Make sure to properly attach the stickers at the back of the iPad (try to do it without the case on to avoid bubbles like mine)- Properly align the screen protector to the iPad- Dust your screen using the sticker given (do this VERY thoroughly)- When pushing out the bubbles, use a card to do it (it saves your strength on your thumbs and pushes out the air bubbles more efficiently)iPad-related products used:- iPad pro 11’’- iPad pro 11’’ Otterbox 360 symmetry series case in starry night- Apple pencil gen. 2Enjoy!UPDATE: it's now been 1 year and 5 months, and the screen protector is holding up well. I have not had to put soap to strengthen its paper-like feel yet, which is great.Also, another tip for the case, which is unrelated to screen protector I know, is that the otterbox I mentioned above is the strongest case I have seen on the market. Everyone else's case needs to be replaced max. a year after they purchase any case but mine is continually holding up nicely without any breakage. I will say, however, the slide on the side of the case to include and protect the Apple pencil sometimes falls off if it gets knocked by things. The effort then that follows to attach it back can be annoying but I finally found the easily way to do so, is by taking out the iPad, place the case face up like how your iPad would normally face you, put the slide underneath the case and align it properly. Find something sturdy (I used the backside of a hole puncher) and hit on the both sides of the aligning space, and voila. Good as new. Please do not try to push it in by force like I did, since I ended up hurting my fingers instead when it could have been so easily done with minimal effort.Work smarter, not harder.
