Ailun 2Pack Paper Textured Screen Protector for iPad Mini 7th/6th, 8.3 Inch

I have used Ailun screen protectors for phones, cameras, and iPads. They are excellent and easy to install at a great price! I was pleased to see Ailun has textured Screen Protectors for iPad which I need for drawing. I had purchased one of the expensive versions but didn't like it, so I tried Ailun. The installation was easy and so far I like the feel and look of this screen... I have just one suggestion about the packaging. I removed everything from the box that came out easily. There was a plastic piece that I assumed was the Locator but it had no plug for the charge port. I looked in the box and tapped hard but nothing else came out. Then I looked closely into the side pocket where I could barely see something and it was so wedged in that I had to use a long stick to push it out. I almost thought the part was missing. This should be improved in the packaging.

I have been using this cover for more than a year and it has been working great for my iPad. While it doesn’t feel exactly like paper, it is a close second. I like the texture it adds when I’m taking notes or drawing

I love its material - matte and very comfortable and friendly to my finger skin! No need to worry about fingerprints on the screen! And it’s very very easy to apply on, there are every necessary accessories to support every single step! Definitely recommend! I doubt that I could order again in the next 5 years, because the quality is, tbh, too good to replace a new one in 3,4 years later 🥹

Picked this up for an iPad Pro thinking the paper-like texture would be a win, especially for drawing and general use. In practice, it didn’t land well in our house. My sons immediately didn’t like the feel—it adds a noticeable drag that’s supposed to mimic paper, but to them it just felt off and a bit scratchy. Installation went fine, but after a short period of normal use, one corner started lifting. Once that happens, it’s pretty much downhill from there with dust and bubbles creeping in. It does what it claims in terms of texture, but that texture isn’t for everyone, and the durability didn’t inspire much confidence for long-term use. Might work for a very specific user, but it wasn’t a fit for us.

For $8, this is less than a quarter the price of the Paperlike screen protectors. My boyfriend’s iPad has Paperlike and I borrowed it for quite sometime before getting my own iPad and I can confidently say that Paperlike is not worth its price when screens like this one exist. This one is a tad bit rougher than the Paperlike one and I find that really satisfying to write on. The installation was hard, but it was the same as Paperlike. I got a piece of dust stuck in the middle of the screen and I was actually able to carefully peel it up, fish the dust out with the sticker, and lay it back down. These screen protectors need to be replaced every 1-3 months with heavy use, regardless of the brand, so I’m happy to have found such a cheap option.

I have never had this many issues with a screen protector. I had to buy a second pack of them to finally get one on my iPad in a somewhat useable way. Yes, it comes with alignment tabs, it should be simple, but those alignment tabs, on both packs, lined the protector up off kilter so it was closer to one end than the other, so it hangs off slightly on that end and the case constantly pulls up those edges. It claims bubble free, but I just spent 45 minutes chasing bubbles that refused to move, hopefully they'll work themselves out, but idk, they're really stubborn and they seem to be here to stay. Now the biggest issue, the issue that caused me to have to buy a second pack less than 2 hours after receiving my first one... When you pull the back off to reveal the adhesive, it creates so much static that it just syphons dust and dirt into your workspace. When you're trying to put on a screen protector one of the most important things is to keep dust and dirt OFF of what you're trying to protect. The first two installs had so many pieces of dust and random particles under the film by the time I finished that, not once, but twice, I had to immediately pull the screen protector off and trash it. The only way I was able to get it *mostly* dust free was to completely dust and clean the workspace, move everything away from the desk, turn off every single fan in the room, close all the windows, open and clean every crevice of the inside of the PC on the desk so it didn't shed any dust while working, put on a mask so I didn't breathe on anything, and get the air duster to constantly blow whatever may land on the screen off of the screen. Even then, I still ended up with a wayward particle that I guess just lives there now because I am not going through this a fourth time.

This screen protector is alright... It is not glass, which isn't a bad thing, but it makes it feel a bit cheap. Installing it was made very easy with the instructions and tool they included in the package, but I found it difficult to avoid bubbles from tiny dust particles. This happened no matter how much I cleaned the glass. Being a non-glass screen protector, the bubbles are much more apparent. If you are buying this for the paper-like texture, I think you would be happy! It really does feel like paper! It works really well with the Apple Pencil. Even though the screen protector feels gritty, the screen quality is still quite impressive. Even through the paper like feeling is impressive, I have found that it sort of takes away from the resto of the functionality of the iPad. I mean, everything still works fine, it's just less smooth to slide your finger across the screen and gets annoying after a couple of minutes of scrolling social media or through a book. In the end, it is an OK screen protector. It works well and the paper like feeling is impressive. But, when it comes to the paper feel, I feel its more a gimmick than something people would actually enjoy after a couple of days of using it. At this point, I miss a glass screen protector. With that and the poor install experience, I honestly think I'll replace it with a glass protector in a week or two.

I purchased this textured screen protector for my iPad Air 5 (2022) in part because it was so cheap and in part because it came with a lot of installation tools to help position the protector on the device, clean the device, and apply the protector and push out the air bubbles. After I got the protector, I also appreciated how thin it is (much thinner than tempered glass). This protector has a unique feel to the finger that you will have to get used to. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it. However, now I prefer it. I particularly like how little oils transfer and how un-sticky (if not smooth) the experience is. Of course, the texture is best on the pencil where it really feels like paper. It also SOUNDS like paper, which will be very noticeable to you if you are in a quiet space, but that sound is easy to tone out if there is any background noise. The feedback from the touch makes my writing a little cleaner (the pencil doesn't slip and/or doesn't require me to apply so much pressure to prevent slipping). My only real complaint about the texture is that it might pick up dust a little more than a normal screen protector. I would not recommend using the screen protector without a case that has a top that snaps closed above the tablet. If you insert the tablet into a pocket, the screen protector might pick up more dust than a glass screen protector. The screen protector does not seem to affect the color, but it does add a bit of graininess when you are looking at solid white backgrounds. That effectively reduces the resolution of the screen by blurring or obscuring fine-grained details. So if you want to watch high-resolution media with your tablet, you might want to consider one of the paper-like screens that is magnetic and snaps on and off. But if you primarily use your tablet for writing/drawing, then this may be a great product for you. And, at the current price, it's a great deal to try if you're curious but not sure if you want to commit. Other more expensive protectors don't have tools to help you position it. The tools that come with this protector make it MUCH easier to install. One caveat about the tool that snaps on the bottom. It will be most easiest to install your screen protector so that it is right up against the very bottom of the screen. That will be problematic if you put your tablet into a case that has a slight lip. With that in mind, I recommend pulling slightly in the direction of the top of the tablet before you adhere the protector down onto the glass. That will help center the screen protector vertically. The screen protector is small enough to have a small buffer around its edge all around the tablet, which will help provide enough room for a case lip (although you may still want to consider using a Dremel on such lips to give yourself even more room).

Bad product

I love the texture, but some people might not. It really does feel like hard paper, excellent for drawing on and feeling resistance in general. I really like it, I am sure it is designed for the Apple pencil which we haven't done yet, but I think when the kids are ready to start drawing on the iPad that is what we will do

Primero compre mica para mi teléfono mate y me encantó! Por eso compré estas! Viene con todo el kit para ponerla, te manda incluso un video para guiarte. Es complicado saber cuál es la mica jajaja pero cuando la encuentras es súper fácil ponerla. ME ENCANTÓ! se siente como papel la pantalla pero me sirve mucho porque yo hago apuntes.

La calidad de la mica es muy buena y me gusto mucho que venga con todo su lot de instalación. Súper recomendado
