Exactly what I wanted

Alex

First, I have to say the feel is great. However, on the final step to take off the left side the plastic snapped, and in trying to get it sorted dust was introduced. So now I have a piece of dust and a big bubble on the left side of my screen. Luckily I am right handed and tend not to paint there, but I now have to decide if it’s worth throwing away an expensive protector to get rid of it. First experience with paperlike.

Clear application instructions. I was skeptical about the result, but it turned out perfectly - very good touch feel and nice to write on. I’ve only tried it for a day or so, but I’m very satisfied.

The paperlike screen protector is fairly smooth and therefore doesn’t produce a loud sound, which I prefer. It does help make the screen less slippery and slightly improved my handwriting. Because the surface is smoother, fingerprints don’t build up as quickly and are much easier to wipe off. The installation process is very easy and straightforward, but getting the screen protector perfectly aligned was very difficult on my first try. Mine ended up very off-center, which is driving me crazy. I later tried aligning my other paperlike on top to compare, and that one lined up perfectly, so there may have been some kind of product defect with my first screen protector, but I don’t know. However, another issue I ran into is that the paperlike scratches quite easily when writing with the standard Apple Pencil tip. Other than that, I’m satisfied with this screen protector and would probably buy it again. From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t noticeably dull the screen or affect the colors.

Not particularly impressed. The thing I liked most, honestly, was that the screen became matte.

They were a great help in finding the right model. Shipping was fast and the instructions on the website were perfectly fine. Maybe a few small improvements could be made, but nothing major. The product works as expected, which makes me a satisfied customer. Thank you!

Easy to install. It feels great when drawing and writing, exactly what I was looking for.

Good protection. It’s not always easy to avoid getting dust under the cover, but you can usually remove it with a sticker. Happy with how it feels.

Danne

I’ve used Paperlike before, but back then I couldn’t manage to install it without bubbles and/or dust under the protector. The new butterfly method felt complicated at first, but the instructions were easy to follow and the result was perfect, which means I actually have a spare now in case the current one wears out at some point. Very satisfied. I’m going to order one for my iPad mini as well.

The product is packed and delivered just fine; assembling instruction were a bit excessive to me but thats okay. The film itself was disappointing in terms of feelings 'just like paper'. It actually feels quite plastic even though I bought Paperlike pen tips. Nope. Glossy, squeecky and plastic. Keep considering other options which will work for me.
