Astropad Rock Paper Pencil v2.0 – Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 11 inch (M4, 2024) + Apple Pencil Tips Replacement 2 Pack – Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd Gen

Tl;dr put it on easily, got a pen tip that scratched, but the second tip provided was fine. Astropad customer service is sending me a replacement for free. Easy to apply, feels like pen on paper, and doesn't effect visibility or pressure sensitivity for apple pencil. I ordered this after trying paperlike and finding it difficult to put it on without bubbles. I stumbled upon astropad after trying to find alternatives to paperlike and wanted to give it a try. The application was simple, amd after cleaning ny ipad screen, it went on smoothly and easily. I put on one of the pen tips provided amd started doing some basic up and down strokes and it scratched and snagged. I was seriously disappointed that I'd already ruined my product without even using it for it's intended purpose!! I then used the second pen tip provided, and it glided across the screen protector like butter. It would seem the first tip was defective. I immediately wrote to Astropad customer service telling them what happened. Within 24 hours, they wrote back a personal message apologizing for the mishap, gathered my information, and are sending a replacement at no cost to me. Please consider this product if you're interested in the pen on paper feel with a removable screen. Other than the initial incident, I've had no trouble with it, and the sensitivity, precision, and visibility is pristine. Overall great product and I will be telling others about it!

This is my second Rock Paper Pencil screen protector and after trying a couple others, this one is by far my favorite. The feeling is similar to writing on paper with a ball point pen. It provides a little more of a tactical feel without being too rough or having too much pencil resistance. The fact that it’s easily removable is the biggest selling point. No bubbles, easy installation with unlimited retries if it’s not aligned right, and when I’m not drawing I can take it off to have my normal iPad screen back. A little on the pricier side but well worth it for the versatility, quality, and total package value. Just get yourself one you won’t regret it.

I was skeptical, but this is a fantastic screen protector for artists or anyone that uses the Apple pencil a lot. I was previously using the matte protector from Elecom, which is also great, but installation is a pain, which means replacing it is also a pain. I spend a lot of time using Procreate and I wear the protectors out and always dread putting a new one on. Well...NOT ANYMORE, y'all. This was, hands down, the easiest install ever. And the surface is perfect for drawing. Maybe even better than my Cintiq Pro, if I may be so bold. I just love that extra little bit of friction. It's like using a felt tip on good watercolor paper. Don't hesitate to buy this. I'm ordering a spare!

Definitely my favorite screen protector I have tried. I really like the metal pencil tips. Feels really nice and similar to traditional when I draw, and makes it comfortable to sketch the same way I do traditionally. I love how easy it was to install. I always have trouble with other screen protectors and I can never get all the bubbles out but this does not get any bubbles which is awesome. Only thing I don't like is that close up still looks a bit grainy, but less than the other one I used to have. (Why I gave 4 stars)

I used the Rock, Paper, Pencil for three months before it reached the end of its life. Let's start with the Pros, because they are pretty pro. - The texture is awesome. - The metal nibs have a beautiful feel and sound on the matte protector. - It's REMOVABLE! So you can still enjoy your iPad in full sunlight, just not with the RPP attached. I really, really loved everything about the RPP for the first month. Then the cons started to rear their ugly heads...first as minor annoyances, then...well...you'll see: - The metal nib wore out! And it caused a sharp edge to develop, which put the first scratch on the protector after a month of heavy use. No biggie, it's just one scratch. Replace the nib and order more... - The 2nd nib wore out in much less time, possibly because of existing micro-scratches on the protector doing more damage to the nib? I'm not sure. Nib #2 wore out and started scratching in about 2 weeks. - I'd remove the screen protector once every 1-2 weeks...so not a ton. Every time I removed it, it seemed to collect dust and adhere to the screen a bit less than before. I tried gently cleaning it with water, which did nothing, so I tried rubbing alcohol, which seemed to work, but the "adhesive" stopped sticking after 3 months. Since I have a very nice case, I'm currently using my iPad without a screen protector. It's terrifying, but it's more useable without a screen protector at the moment. I loved this product at first. It was amazing. It felt great. It did what it was supposed to do and delivered on its promises. But as our relationship continued, it turned sour. Promises were broken, performance was sub-par, I was left looking at an empty husk of what once was, remembering the good times as just that -- memories.

To keep it short and sweet, this is the best screen protector I have ever had for my Ipad. Main points and concerns: - Texture is perfect! - Does not scratch easily or leave fingerprints. (If you have made scratches you are likely applying too much pressure). - Friction is super realistic to paper! Jitter and slippery-ness from using the ipad is GONE. - Does cover the front facing camera but I believe it is worth using despite this. - Tips are extremely precise and feel like a ballpoint pen/mechanical pencil. - Very easy to apply! - A little fuzzy, but not noticeable when playing games, reading or watching videos. - Perfect fit and thickness. - Lovely overall product! In depth review: I have ASD and texture is really significant to me, moreover, the texture on this is satisfying. I feel very comfortable touching it and resting my wrist on it with and without drawing glove. It does look a little fuzzy on the screen but it is not noticeable for watching videos or playing games. The friction that you feel on it feels very realistic to paper. The usual jitter and slippery-ness that comes with drawing on an ipad is completely obliterated with this product. I have seen other reviews that mention the tips scratching the protector easily as well as fingerprints collecting easily, however, I disagree with this. I think that you have to be exerting a lot of pressure on it to get that result. The only negative opinion I have on this, is that the location of my camera on my ipad is blocked by the protector, but it is completely worth ignoring this for the other benefits of using it. 10/10 Would recommend to all artists looking for a more traditional feeling that you are used to.

There's a new version of this screen protector that I am eager to try. But as for version 2.0 (the one I am reviewing), I have had it for almost a year, and I am very happy with it. It has changed the way I use my iPad Pro. I write a lot, and this feels almost as good as paper. The only issue I have had with it over time is that the screen protector develops scratches. This might have to do with writing style, pressure, dust, and combination of these factors. I reached out to their customer support team after an initial glitch with my screen protector, and they immediately resolved the issue. They've been very patient in hearing feedback and are prompt in following-up. I would definitely recommend this to all iPad (and especially iPad Pro) users, especially if you write a lot on your iPad. It would be good to be able to order tips (or screen protectors) separately.

The Rock Paper Pencil 2 screen protector is a game-changer for note-taking and drawing on the iPad. The combination of the screen protector and the included pencil tip creates a remarkably authentic paper-like writing experience that surpasses other similar products due to its easy removability. My handwriting has improved significantly, and I now prefer taking notes on my iPad to traditional pen and paper. The ability to change pen types and have an infinite canvas is a huge bonus. The screen protector provides the perfect amount of friction, making writing smooth and effortless. However, it’s essential to understand the trade-offs. The matte finish noticeably impacts image and video quality, giving the screen a heavier look. Additionally, the protector tends to attract dust and fingerprints, although it’s easily cleaned and can be removed and reapplied for those times when you want to enjoy the iPad's full display capabilities. The included Apple Pencil tip is exceptional, further enhancing the writing experience. The ability to easily remove and reapply the screen protector offers unparalleled flexibility compared to other paper-like options. Despite these minor drawbacks, I highly recommend the Rock Paper Pencil 2 for anyone who spends a significant amount of time writing or drawing on their iPad. It's a fantastic product that delivers on its promises.

C'est un indispensable ! Le film est super pratique et ça permet d'avoir une bonne sensation lorsque je dessine sur l'Ipad avec ProCreate. Je n'ai pas encore utilisé l'embout pour stylet car honnêtement celui d'Apple me convient très bien. Je recommande, c'est cher mais ça fait 6 mois que je l'ai et pour l'instant il tient très bien. Et ça évite d'abîmer l'écran de l'Ipad donc c'est un bon investissement.

So easy to install! Fabulous texture for illustrators. It's thicker than paperlike and a breeze to install. I haven't tried the pen tips yet. The main reason I purchased this product was because I wore out my paperlike screen protector in two weeks!

I just decided to invest in this and I love it, feels just like paper and is really easy to apply, however it can slip but all you need to do is make sure you run your finger firmly around the edge and it stays put. It also is prone to scratching with the ballpoint tips but I feel like that is expected but I love the fact that it comes in its own sleeve!

Awesome! I’ve been using a different variety of paper screen for a few years. But this brand is much longer wearing. Great texture. Super easy to apply. I would buy again. I am also using the pencil tip provided which is pretty good.

Es caro, pero si es cierto que el tacto que ofrece, junto a las puntas que trae, se asemeja mucho al papel. Si quieres usar el Ipad a modo de cuaderno, para estudiar y tomar apuntes, merece mucho la pena. Incluso manejando con tus manos, se siente bien
