As someone who did have Paperlike I can definitely say it does wear down the nib faster than a basic matte screen protector (which I started using after I saw many artists doing so.) the matte screen protector doesn’t distort the colors like the paperlike did.

What screen protector did you use?

[@iAmNothingness]

Not worth.

[@blabla8339]

There are still people disliking this video...I could even see how you were struggling trying to get smooth lines with paperlike...maybe some people like to use more force while drawing and change their pen nibs every few months, but for me this video was very helpful and i could almost feel how trashy paperlike is...thank you very much for this video, hope this one goes viral so nobody is going to waste their money on Sandpaperlike

I personally don't trust a product that EVERY SINGLE iPad video on youtube are sponsoring. Its absurd how many videos are promoting the Paperlike and yet they are still $20 bucks a piece. That said, you have used one product for years and years, so you are more than likely used to it and any little change is going to feel odd. So who knows, maybe it is good for someone who is just moving over to a "paper like" protector. I just got an iPad for casual use, prob will be picking up the Tech Armor.

[@LoRDSMiZ]

Great video! I was just, literally, looking at screen protectors so my Apple Pencil doesn’t ice skate across my tablet. 😌

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

[@SeanOzz]

interesting. i have been using pencil to glass for years and this week finally installed a paper like and maybe it is because I have not used a tech armor but my initial impression of the paper like is a HUGE benefit to drawing. i can immediately get smoother lines than I was getting straight glass. if that other one is even better I am going to have to give it a try after I use the paper like for some time.

[@NikitaMaree]

So glad I have been buying the cheaper ones 👍 great video, appreciate your honesty.

Not sure about Tech armor, but I can tell you that I've also gone through 2 apple pencil nibs in just a few months of drawing on Paperlike. It's like Sand paper...

I just went through two apple pencil tips within a week of using a matte screen protector (not paperlike), so im pretty sure its not just paperlike.

[@Froakster]

I use to use these screen protectors before but stopped because it wears down the tips on Apple Pencil very quickly. I had to replace it very quickly. The glass is much better in my opinion.

[@BeeJayDeL]

The cheap matte ones in the video don’t wear them down the same...glass is just way too slick in my opinion.

[@Froakster]

@@BeeJayDeL Hmmm, I may try that brand then 😁👍🏼 It does get tedious wiping the screen over and over without one 😅 Thanks!

[@henrychan1]

One thing I disliked about Paperlike is when using fingers/touch it lost functionality at times when swiping and tapping.

[@BeeJayDeL]

I noticed that too after the video- I went to make the thumbnail before I switched back to the other screen protector and ran into that same problem!

[@AmyLionheartArtistry]

Oh wow, that’s interesting! Most Paperlike users mention the touch responsiveness (functionality) is impecable. But, considering BeeJay’s review here, it makes sense.

[@kasperdam9787]

Explains why I cant get the nice strokes from your videos with your Custom brushes. I have paperlike and it just shreds the tip og the Apple pencil

[@BeeJayDeL]

Yeah...it was definitely a struggle trying to use it! Felt like I was pulling through mud!

[@r3tr0nic]

Much thanks for an honest review man, I really hate sponsered reviews. Too much pressure and hype, not enough truth. That being said, I had previously read a lot of bad reviews on cheaper materials similar to paperlike... So I have purchased the paperlike, to my dismay at the price... Wish I had stumbled upon this first but oh well. I have never used any protectors... So I am almost tempted to buy the Tech Armour ones and do a blind comparison of sorts.

[@mythoughts2355]

Try the Amfilm papered glass screen protector. Ive used icarez and Bresem they were milky as you say, removed for clear display.. now got amazing display, easier to clean . The others would not stay clean .

[@saimanda_]

You’re right. My apple pencil respond better to the screen touch than the paper like feel screen protector.

[@gresanatomy]

Omg, I totally want to try it asap! Seems it has all the benefit of the "paper-like experience" without ruining the nib,which is everything an artist can ask! 😃 Another thing I want to ask though is this: I have a 7th generation iPad, it's a 10,2". Is there a tech armor screen protector even for my model - and that ship to Italy? I found some on Google but I'm not sure if they're the same "model" 🤔

I have the first version if the screen protector and I have been using the same sheet since august of 2019 and I haven't needed to switch nibs and I am still far from needing it. But I also changed the pressure sensitivity to fit my needs and don't need to press hard at all. Have you other people done this when you have problems with the nib and paperlike?

[@BeeJayDeL]

From some people following up with me, it seems like the pull on the screen and the nib wear is more pronounced with the newest versions.

[@Reem.Sabbah]

Do you mean the original paperlike ?

[@danieldunkley6671]

Thinking my first buy of paper like must have been dodgy I bought a second “ nope” the second batch was just as resolution distorting and for me personally rubbish.

Stary makes a magnetic paper like screen protector that you can remove when you don’t need it. There are a couple of KZbin videos on it and it’s available on Amazon. Looks like you can also use it over a tempered glass screen protector. I only just discovered it myself.

You should try it for yourself. Reviews are mixed good some bad. I almost cancelled as well, but noticed some of the bad reviewers were using 'notes' and no drawing glove. Sure enough the product is awesome,, love the paper feel. Works perfectly as intended. Unless you like the slippery glass feel of a non-mat no paperlike protector.

[@JoeKueser]

I do appreciate the honest review. Nearly every Paperlike review I've found has been sponsored, and therefore untrusted. I only have one problem with the way this was handled. You are comparing a product you've used for years to something you used for a few minutes. Nearly 100% of the time, the old and comfortable is going to win this kind of comparison. A fair comparison would have been to use the Paperlike for a month or so and give your opinion. That said, I personally went cheap and while I'm mostly happy with the screen protector I got (3 for $12) it has a bit of a sandpaper feel to it. I'm curious if Paperlike or TechArmor have that problem as well.

Which one did you buy ?

[@krishnan9690]

Very very true

[@w0mblemania]

A good, honest review. Thank you. Paperlike's marketing and design is very attractive, but the product is far too expensive. It makes Apple pricing look restrained. And, as you say, far too many real-world users on Amazon have said that Paperlike destroys the Apple Pencil tips. Also, the way Paperlike has saturation-bombed social media influencers with these things... it's really heavy-handed. It all feels like an exercise in style over substance. But the difference between paid-up influencer reviews and real-world reviews is stark.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Very good points....and agreed

[@LarryRichelli]

How can you call this a non bias test. He went into this not liking the paper light and if you use one screen cover for years of course you will dislike any others.

I got Paperlike and hated it. I was really surprised because so many people recommended them. I get Tech Armor every time. Glad to see someone giving it an honest review.

[@psguy3]

0:56 “100% completely unbiased comparison” 11:06 “I’ve been using tech armor for years, it’s my favorite” Not really unbiased if you’re comparing something you’ve been using for years and are comfortable with to another product that is new to you.

I have a tech armor screen protector on my 2018, 9.7” iPad and have had no problems with it. The original is still on the 9.7 iPad with no scratches in it. I thought about the Paper lite ones but am not spending $44 for one,like you.

[@5lives1love]

How has been your experience with the tech armor? Does it blurry to much the screen quality? I am getting an iPad an I am interested in this screen protector to draw, just curious if it's as good as it looks.

[@Gleichtritt]

My biggest problem with these protectors is, that after just a bit of drawing, it feels like they got very slick and the paper effect fades away. I so far was using a cheap alternative to paperlike but I have heard the same about paperlike, so 40€ seems like a big risk. I am using a Belle Mond made in Japan protector, which feels pretty thick too, so I have a hard time believing, that paperlike uses fundamentally different tech. Already thought of maybe getting one of these apple pencil tip caps instead of a screen protector.

[@joziesundstrom7660]

Hey I don't know if your still having this problem with the matte protector, but I've got some advice to try. I've never used a matte protector, but that same thing happens to my matte nails. Oil starts to make it a bit slicker after a certain amount of time. To fix that, I just wipe it really good with an alcohol wipe, and it's perfectly matte once again! You could try an alcohol wipe on the screen protector

[@Milan-cw7zs]

I also use the iCarez Matte Screen Protector, but had to replace nib after 4.5 months of daily drawing. I had a heavier hand, but have adjusted sensitivity and learned to draw with lighter hand. No rainbow effect, nice texture, and sound. But since you have used the Tech Armor for years and nib didn’t wear down too quickly, I’m considering trying it out. Thanx for the video 😊

[@carolmouzinho5760]

I’ll be honest, when you got to the Paperlike review it felt like you jumped in with a preconceived opinion (maybe because the price is outrageous and you didn’t think it would be able to justify the extra $30), but the main difference I’m seeing is the drag, and the fact that you have to press harder on the paperlike when you’ve been using the other one for years (and liked it) could be the deciding point. I appreciate your honest opinion though! I started with the Paperlike and I loved it (compared to writing on glass). I’ve had it for about a year now and had to change my pen tip. I also didn’t know it was the screen protector that was making me press so hard since I naturally draw very violently, but I wanted to try something new as my Paperlike is very scratched after a year (this could be added to your Cons list). So yea! Thanks for the video!! I’ll deff give TechArmour a try

[@MaryHamerMusic]

I have only had an ipad mini for about 2 months and I bought a paperlike screen protector thinking I would like it since I used to just draw on a sketch pad. I agree with you so much. I am going to order myself a regular one now. The paperlike almost felt like a texture on there and I can't get the hang of how much pressure I have to put on everything to write or draw. And it does have a milky color to it also. I am ordering myself the regular screen protector now.

[@matandana110]

I have watch so many KZbin videos about what screen protector to and I can say that tgis is the best video. Other videos focused way to much on the packaging rather than actually giving us useful information. I would like to see a comparison between tech armor and bellemond because I often see people bashing on paper like and suggesting one or the other but they never compare each other.

So I picked up the TechArmor ones suggested in this video after watching to see what cheaper options still do the trick. I have been using paper like on my regular iPad for years. I just got an iPad Pro and have the TechArmor on the new iPad right next to my old iPad with paper like. While I do feel that the TechArmor is a fair product that will work well, some of your criticisms confuse me. Looking at both of my iPads side by side, the TechArmor is clearly less translucent than the paper like. The black border on the iPad Pro looks much milkier than the one on my other iPad, and the colors are more muted. Also, the pencil glides very easily, essentially the exact same feeling on both. The way paperlike was portrayed as hard to move your pencil across in this video looked strange to me as that’s never happened for me, and having them side by side I feel no difference. The one thing I haven’t checked yet is the amount of pressure difference for making marks. The TechArmor is noticeably thinner so it may have the advantage of less pressure for pencil registration. But for smoothness/gliding and opacity I have quite a different back to back comparison. All in all, I’d say the TechArmor is a great, cheaper alternative, but PaperLike is still also fantastic.

Confirmed-- just threw down $45, and wish I hadn't. Going back my supershieldz. The paper like was more rubbery-feeling than my previous. Listen to the reviews lol

Paperlike: Excellent Marketing, Great Packaging, Unimpressive Product that's too expensive to justify itself, especially when you can find the exact same protector on Amazon for much less

Hi. Can't don't this anywhere in EU... Do have anu links were to buy it? I would even buy it from outside of the EU...

[@citizenraga]

Thanks for this, i was just about to order paperlike and decided to do a quick search and you popped up. $15 later (price went up i guess) and I have Tech Armor matte screen protector on my ipad 11 pro

[@adonshoko3005]

So I didn't understand which screen protector you are suggesting exactly? I would appreciate it if you could send a link to buy please. I have an iPad mini 6 that I use mainly for drawing..

The only 2 writing systems Americans know: the Latin alphabet (aka English and Spanish because what other languages even use the Latin alphabet) and Chinese (because what other languages use the Chinese script)

[@Aihemm]

ANYONE I NEED TECH amor for the 9th gen it’s so hard to find it it’s 10.2 inches anyone if you can send me the link for one

[@adamchapel8241]

I ain't got iPad yet (just waiting half May) but surely I'll get the best extras to wear on it. As you said it´s all about practical, comfort and price. I´ll be good to know about protector cases too, thanks again Jay!

[@Mr450pro]

Crap.. I just ordered the mini6 and paper like 👎🏻 Edit: after some research I can see Tech Armor haven’t made one for the mini6 👎🏻

[@robertmaxey5406]

I could ever justify a forty dollar screen protector. So I bought a cheap set of three via Amazon, and it does what I need.

[@sannejacobahelena]

I have seen so many honest reviews about the paperlike today, and what am I glad you guys made these. I’m getting my iPad this october and I wanted a paperlike. But it’s an expensive joke if the paperlike really sucks. Cheaper one it is then!

[@desiadams22]

Thank you sooo much! Just watching you draw was enough for me to make a decision. The ASMR was the topper. Appreciate you
