Review: Finally I am using my Apple Pencil as it was intended - I have had three different Apple Pencils as the iPad has evolved but never used them to the full extent. I really wanted to use my iPads for note taking but did not get on with the feel of the pencil on either native glass or a laminated screen protector. I considered paying out for a Remarkable device but decided to give the iPad one more chance. I have an iPad Mini so decided to bite the bullet and try a Paperlike screen protector with it, mindful of the issues people have raised. In short, it worked and I liked it, used in conjunction with a Logitech crayon. More recently I decided to do the same with my iPad Pro and so far, I am very pleased. It gets used for recording random ideas and I find this much more intuitive than many of the typed notes and mind map apps that are available; I am using Goodnotes for the most part and doodling is a significant element of note taking. I do not find the textured surface to be detrimental to video playback or graphics apps, I have not noticed any significant reduction in quality, in fact it could be the poor man’s nanotextured display with the advantage that you can replace it - I understand that a Paperlike protector should last around 18 months. I have noticed that the screen is less reflective in direct light so from that point of view it is more friendly on the eye. The only thing I feel I need to do now is find the optimum tip for the Apple Pencil. Regarding issues with application… I have been fitting screen protectors of all types for over twenty years, even so… ****ENSURE THAT YOU WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO**** and follow it to the letter. Otherwise, so far so good.
Review: 1 star reviews are not fair at all - If you follow the official help video on youtube you will not fail to apply the screen protector to the ipad, there will be no bubbles and the screen will be applied evenly on all sides. Also you have to do it in a daylight with minimum dust in the air, and closed windows if it's windy. I managed to do it dust and bubble free in my bedroom. If you have bad eyesight I assume you have glasses so you should put them on. Face the screen to the window as the dust speckles are visible in the reflection of the daylight. Watch the official tutorial video and follow it step by step. Ignore the negative feedback. I cannot review the longevity yet and the price is substantial, £17 per one film makes it most expensive, so for now I'm giving it five stars and time will tell.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can I avoid or remove bubbles?**
A: Paperlike 2.1’s easy application kit makes installation quick and hassle-free. With step-by-step video instructions and guide stickers, you’ll get a flawless, bubble-free application on the first try.

**Q: Can Paperlike be used on top of a glass screen protector?**
A: For best results, we recommend using Paperlike directly on your iPad display. Applying it on top of another screen protector would reduce Apple Pencil responsiveness.

**Q: How can I avoid scratches on my screen protector?**
A: Good news: Paperlike 2.1 is more scratch-resistant than previous editions. It will protect your iPad against scuffs and scratches wherever you are. If you take care of it (clean it, case it), it’ll take care of you - and your iPad.

**Q: What’s the difference between Nanodots and nano-texture?**
A: Paperlike’s proprietary Nanodotsare microbeads that add resistance and improve haptic feedback when using the Apple Pencil, mimicking the feel of writing on paper. Apple’s nano-texture display reduces glare but doesn’t add sensory feedback.

**Q: How can I clean my Paperlike?**
A: Cleaning your Paperlike is easy and will help extend its life. The best way is to use the Paperlike Cleaning Kit, designed to keep your screen pristine on-the-go. Alternatively, you can wipe it down with a damp towel and a drop of dish soap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good once they’re on, but difficult to get on perfectly
*by S***S on 20 June 2025*

Updated to say the company reached out and their customer service is exceptional so I’ve updated my review to reflect that This is a great product to use with the Apple Pencil. Writing is so much smoother, and it really is like writing on paper so I absolutely cannot fault that part. The issue I have, which is the same with any screen protector, is the application process. I appreciate all of the stickers, wipes and cloths that they’ve included to make the process as smooth as possible, but it’s still too fiddly. Even with all of that and following the instructions step by step, I’ve still got small bubbles with the odd speck of dust. The problem is, there’s still too much fiddling between peeling the backing off and sticking it on the iPad, and where the stickers hold the cover in place, it’s still a bit flimsy, and by the time you’ve positioned it right, another speck of dust has found its way between the iPad and cover. I wish they would follow what some brands do and have an applicator that goes over the top of the iPad, then you just place the cover on top of that and it’s automatically in the right place. I wasted one of the covers and while the second attempt was better, there’s still a couple of tiny bubbles. I’m sure with a few extra attempts I’d get it but for the price they cost, I can’t afford to waste them.
