Astropad Rock Paper Pencil v2.0 – Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 12.9 inch (Gen 3-6) + Apple Pencil Tips Replacement 2 Pack – Compatible with Apple Pencil 1st/2nd Gens

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.

Amazing! I should have gotten this years ago. It completely elevates the Apple Pencil experience on iPad. Trying with the pencil on the regular screen feels slippery and hard to control for drawing and writing. With this, it feels like you are writing on a pad of paper. Sidebenefit, it cuts the glare on the screen.I don’t know how useful it will be as a screen protector, but I’m hoping that’s an extra benefit. I don’t notice any compromise in picture quality for movies, etc., with just leaving it on all the time. Also, it was very easy to put on. It’s thick, you don’t have to worry about precise application and bubbles, etc., like you do putting on regular screen protectors.A word of caution: On day one, I dropped my Apple Pencil and bent the new metal stylus. Thankfully, it comes with two, but that means I have already used up my spare. Also, it would be nice if they included a little container for your original pencil stylus. You’ll need something to not lose track of your original stylus, because you can’t write on the bare screen with the metal stylus this includes.

First, this is trivially easy to install. Second, the metal nibs are nice. I have used a paper like screen protector pretty much since the iPad came out. They really help the writing experience providing the right amount of drag on the pencil to make it feel like you are writing on (very rough) paper. The only problem is that the plastic nibs wear out pretty quickly and leave lots of scratches on the screen protector.When I got my new iPad, I decided to hold off on getting a screen protector to see if I could get used to writing on a glass screen -- that lasted a couple of months (and shouldn't have lasted a week). Writing on glass is simply too slick and hard to control -- lots of hand cramping and illegible writing.This screen protector is the best of the paper like screen protectors I've used and it was trivial to install -- I haven't tried to remove it, even though that seems possible. The only issue I've run into is that the metal nibs can scratch the surface if you happen to drag them backwards across the screen -- this wouldn't happen when writing, but can happen when moving object around on the screen (e.g., Post-It notes). So far, the scree is still easily usable, but I expect that I'll need to replace the screen protector before I need to replace the nibs.

Just what I was looking for. It’s easy to “install” and remove whenever you want, the screen feel is perfect for writing and drawing, and I love that it comes with specific apple pen tips. The screen protector stays on without any issue and the instructions were easy.I find that I don’t remove it as much as I thought it would.. It doesn’t impact picture clarity enough (to me) to fiddle with putting it on and off daily. I still appreciate the flexibility and knowing that i can remove it at any time.

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 itdifficult 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!

Good paper feel magnetic screen protector and pen tip combo to simulate real drawing. However, vs cheaper alternatives, this may not be worth the price increase. Understanding you get 2 pens also with the screen protector to work and in hand together to provide the richer drawing experience, to me, its still overpriced by about 25%. Either they should discount the price some more, or at least provide a 2nd screen protector with the kit as a backup. As these do get scuffed up pretty quickly. Having said all that. Drawing experience is still pretty solid so 3 stars is fair
