Paperlike 2.1 (2 Pieces) for iPad Mini 8.3" (2021) - Transparent Matte Screen Protector for Notetaking and Drawing like on Paper

I was really looking forward to writing on my iPad and feeling like I was writing on paper. The reviews, for those few, who can get it on,are great, so I took the bullet. I wasted 40$ and 2 paperlike protectors. First steps of the installation are easy enough, like any other protector. But once you go to remove "2" aka "paperlike side" you are done, the whole thing comes off, paperlike and "foil" I took my time, was not in a rush, watched the video 3x before attempting it on my own. The paperlike came off both times. It's not worth it if you can't get it installed. You waste money, energy and end up with the same glass screen to started with. I wish I could have gotten it on, but the other reviews are right. Installation is hard, and may be 1/3 of them work out for a great experience. So disappointed UPDATE: I updated from 1 star to 5 stars. This is why... 1. Customer service is amazing, they contacted me after my initial review and sent me a replacement for free. It arrived in 2-3 days, so fast and efficient at no extra cost. 2. I realized it's not paperlike's fault. It comes down to storage/Amazon/heat. I believe the first one I got from Amazon wasn't stored properly and the two films were practically melted together, so they came off together. The paperlike I got from the company itself was a bliss of an installation. I followed the same steps as before, but ran into absolutely zero issues. 3. It really feels like you are writing on paper! And also like you are flipping real pages in a way? It has a different feel when scrolling through pages (left/right) that's similar to paper ..you just have to try it, hard to explain lol Only con is the slight opacity it brings to the screen. About 5-10% opacity, but Ill get used to it cause the trade off it's absolutely worth it. Biggest lesson here, order directly from paperlike, follow the video and you'll have no issues ...and if you do, they got your back ;)

I've gotten one for my iPad Pro 5yrs ago and this time got a new IPad Mini 7th gen and wanted to get this for that as well and it’s something I am familiar with and I like the texture and how long it lasts. The one on my iPad Pro, that has held up very well from 2020 to now. So if they kept up the quality, I have no doubt this one for my IPad mini will last just as long. I did have a bit of a struggle to get the film off, the tab wouldn’t come away like it should have. I will say, the instruction video needs a pause because trying to go back and watch while doing it just adds more time for dust to magically appear. I somehow always get one spec of dust some how appear out of nowhere.

One of the coolest instructional videos I’ve ever seen, went on perfectly. And it really does change the feel so it’s not at all like writing on a screen

El producto es un poco caro en comparación con otros protectores de pantalla del mercado pero a mi parecer vale la pena comprarlo. Trae dos protectores, un paño para limpiar la pantalla y toda los accesorios para la instalación. El video que refiere el producto es muy claro para colocarlo tú mismo sin problema. El único defecto que noté fue que se marca muy pronto en el protector al utilizar el Apple Pencil pero considero que eso pasa con todos los protectores. Es mucho mejor escribir sobre este protector que solo le pantalla sin mica. Estoy feliz con mi compra

Ik gebruik deze cover op mijn nieuwe Apple mini samen met de Apple Pencil pro. Veelal teken ik via procreate of om te studeren en dus veel te schrijven. Deze cover maakt alles vlotter en aangenamer.
