[@MaZEEZaM]

Thanks for your review, I didn't know about the tip option before seeing your video, I think its a great option for me especially as I purely want it to make drawing on my iPad a bit nicer. Its just a hobby for me so I even with the rubbishcurrancy conversation AUD, those 5 tips are going to lasts very long time. Also compare that price to the paperlike pencil grip, that bit of rubber or silicone costs $60 USD for x2 plus shipping, now that's a rip-off, €18 for x5 is nothing compared with that. I very much want to improve my drawing, so will be subscribing to your channel, cheers from Australia.😋 I do agree that a sharper pointed tip would be an improvement, assuming it doesn't wear down significantly faster.

[@MaZEEZaM]

I've ordered the Artist Clssic set, $71 + $10 delivery AUD, pretty good I think considering that's for a 5x pack of tips, 1x pencil grip and 1x drawing glove. Compare that with the paperlike pencil grip that costs $60 USD so probably $80 AUD plus delivery for 2x.

[@BeierFilms]

Thanks for this! I found that I really needed a matt screen protector to deal with the slippery quality of the iPad but I do get annoyed at the loss of visual quality AND how it makes the touch experience worse (meaning, when using my fingers, I have to push harder than I otherwise would). Here's a silly question: WHY DOESN'T APPLE JUST SELL AN ALTERNATE TIP FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT SOME RESISTANCE??? It could be rubber or felt or whatever and one could simply screw it on in place of the standard tip (rather than on top of it thus making it blunter). Seriously, Apple spends so much time and energy marketing the iPad to artists yet they won't provide this simple solution which Microsoft has been doing for years with their Surface Pens. Do they WANT people to cover up a great screen with a textured protector that washes out the colors?

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

I totally agree, they could sell loads strange they don’t

[@BeierFilms]

@@JamesJulier-Artist Time for a letter-writing campaign?

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Haha I’m not sure they’d listen. I somehow think they wouldn’t want to concede that the experience wasn’t already perfection as it is currently. I think creating new nibs they would almost feel is admission of a mistake.

[@Nocmora]

A pencil with such a tip would absolutely destroy an unprotected screen. Yes, you could use a protective glass on the ipad, but apple cares only for the vanilla experience, thus they won’t care for that option.

[@berierii]

@@Nocmora they could make a tip out of a stiff textured foam since it wouldn’t damage the screen and could provide a better texture

[@ChronicBreath420]

I use the paperlike brand screen protector and a tip cover. The tip cover helped so much. I have the cheaper china made tips from Amazon and they are great. Its the best combo I have found!

[@jasweb147]

What's the friction like? Is there a lot of drag when drawing and does the screen protector eat up the nib?

[@L_Aster]

I’ve been seeing ads for these for a while! I had to get rid of my matt screen protector because the visual interference was too much for me to ignore but the slick texture of the screen annoyed me. This seems like the perfect alternative, especially since I’ve finally worn through a pencil nib

[@lilumi]

Thank you for the video comparison! I’ve been eyeing these, as even with a screen protector I don’t feel I get enough grip. Good to know that the more expensive version actually is better quality and isn’t just the same cheap product repackaged! :)

[@durba-718]

How are the apple pen tips, if anyone tried them sofar?

[@chrissnyder4439]

I prefer the screen protector for 2 separate reasons. Yes, you do have more control vs just glass, but also I find it manages fingerprints much better than without. I still have an older iPad I use for media consumption and I find myself cleaning it constantly because of fingerprints, something you don't notice as much with a screen protector.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Very true

[@charitygoldart]

I find finger marks on the screen are annoying not just because of how the look, but they also change the drag on the Apple pencil, making it sort of 'slip' or 'skip' on the surface a bit (not sure how to describe it.) Do you find the screen protector helps with this too?

[@alejandroromito]

THank you very much for this much needed review! I say much needed because while there's a lot of artists talking about the paper like matte screen options, I've yet to see anyone on my artist list talking about these. My issue has been that I don't want something to alter the screen, especially since I'm pretty much used to the glass anyway, but maybe something for the pen like these nibs (I have seen their ads, but very few reviews). I might actually go for them when I have some extra money to spare since it's easy to slip them on and off, so I'd leave em off for sketching and on for painting/coloring :) You've certainly made my idea of them a whole lot clearer!!

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

[@patriciamillin-j3s]

Good to know, I also have hand tremours.

[@DavidPringlePhoto]

I use the paper like 2. I tried inexpensive matte screen protectors but it felt like drawing on gravel. The paper like 2 uses a different type of method of making the texture that doesn’t distort the screen much. I like that it also diffuses light a bit (not as much as a standard one) to cut glare. It feels a bit like sketching on standard note paper. I haven’t noticed much wear on my pencil nib, but realize that the screen cover is a disposable art supply and will wear out. The screen even takes on the look of a paper book. It’s odd to say but sometimes I forget it’s an iPad. I’ve shown it to people who aren’t iPad users and they think it’s paper at first. (Sitting on a table)

[@DavidPringlePhoto]

Another thing to consider is quality of your installation. It’s easy to have bubbles or dust under the cover if you aren’t careful. That decreases the experience, naturally. They come in 2 packs.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Yeah I quite enjoyed paper like initially, I might give the second version a go

[@hamgelato8143]

Hey James, you may want to try using a masking tape, cuts it into a bow tie shape, and wrap around your pencil tip. It works wonder for me, even with glass protector, and you can easily replace it after it wears out. Would highly recommended!

I want to protect my screen, but I would also like to use the tip covers. Do you think a combination of a glass screen protector and tip cover would be doable, or would it not register the strokes? I appreciate any advice!

[@LadyHobbij]

I am using a matte screen protector (because I like the texture and I want the anti glare function to protect my eyes) but combined that with the apple pencil (no rubber cover) I realised that the matte screen wears down the tip at a quick rate and I wish I had watched your video before this happened. So, I got myself the cheap rubber cover and yes, when used with matte it feels really draggy, I don't think I have the patience for my art process with this amount of resistance. At this point my priorities are protecting my ipad screen and reducing the wear and tear rate of the apple pencil tip, so I'm thinking about trying out the tempered glass screen protector. Thank you for your video!

I got the ipad pro a week ago and I'm really struggling with sketching and line work because of how slippy it is. I have naturally shake hands and it's never effected me drawing on paper but it has become a real problem when drawing digitally 😂

[@Loophole23742]

You didn’t need to spend £700-£1000 to draw. You could of just bought some paper and a pencil set for probably £10 quid.😂😂😂 That’s what apple have done to you all. You buy an electronic device then have to get additional accessories likepaper like to simulate drawing on paper. News flash, real paper still exists and it’s dirt cheap. This isn’t Star Trek where you can’t get good old fashion paper and lead pencils anymore. A real artist will know nothing compares to real paints and a good canvas. This is a gimmick, nothing more. A novelty not a substitute for the real thing. Try turning in some artwork to your teacher, made from the iPad and see how that turns out😂😂😂😂 Apple are taking the piss with so many of you, like with their new £600 dollar leather over the ear head phones😂😂😂. Any audiophile will tell you than sound fidelity can only go so far. Think they pretty much hit that wall with beats, Bose and tech from the other leading brands and they are all cheaper than £600 dollars. I own a iPad Air 4 and if in a moment of madness I got a 2nd gen pencil I wouldn’t be pretentious or even believe I’m creating true art, I’d acknowledge it for what is, a novelty party toy to use when your fucking board!

@@Loophole23742 each to their own opinion, but I do agree apple is very expensive. However, done correctly digital art can be more vibrant and more smoother then traditional art can be.

Ive come to find that just the screen protector on the ipad and no tip protectant on the Apple Pencil is just fine and instead of spending that money on the apple pencil tip protector you could use that money to buy a 4 pack of new tips for your Apple Pencil on the apple website/store which ends up being almost the same price on the tip protectors

Does the iPad Pro screen naturally get scratched up from use with the Apple Pencil? If you were to get a screen protector would you go tempered glass since you will keep the glassy look that you are use to or go with a matte screen protector/ paper like screen protector?

If you’re into the whole experience I can tell you that it’s not really going to be satisfying at all.

[@tomi832]

yeah, I would like to know too :)

@@tomi832 i bought a leather tip for the apple pencil off Etsy from someone who has taken the initiative to handmake them. Took a few days to arrive. I am getting a new Ipad Pro and didnt want a screen protector or Paperlike because i also want to watch Netflix etc on the screen in its full glory. I am so pleased with the leather nib sleeves. They fit the apple pencil tip neatly and my writing is so much better. I am sooooooo happy. I dont know how long they will last but I think I have found the solution I need to write on the iPad screen without having a screen protector.

Hi James, I need your advice: I bought a Belkin screen protector and I feel like if my pen slips every time I try to draw straight lines or when it comes to draw faces, my lines have little lumps...and I see this as a solution to my problem ... would you recommend it to me? Thank you **Update 28/03/2021 I finally ordered my pen tips and, using them with my ipad pro with a screen protector I wasn't able to get that improvement that I was looking for. My apple pencil slid when I drew several straight lines on the screen. In the end, I had to return them and I'm waiting for my refund. Hope you find this info useful!

Thanks for the review, looking forward to watching some of your painting tutorials

I have a 9th gen iPad and don’t know what pencil to use. Is there a universal one? I bought the paper feel screen protector too, and it wears down my nib quickly, so what’s the point in that? :/ if I knew I had to keep buying nibs, I wouldn’t have bothered get an iPad tbh.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

I use paperlike and honestly it doesn’t really wear down the nib that quick. The official Apple Pencil nibs last a lot longer than cheaper replacements too

[@marcello4258]

what are you using today James?

[@lukassteidl1046]

intersting video. Im still a thinking about best protection for the ipad tho. I will get my first ipad pro soon. And its probably the most expensive Electronic i have ever owned. I want to start drawing and that will be its Main use...but im worried about damage. do you know what the best screen protector is? I read that a lot of them make it harder to draw and Therefor im so unsure about what to buy..

[@thabiac4155]

does the grip work with third part styluses?

[@heavenly_abyss]

is this cover good for notetaking as well as drawing?

[@inezkuijtnaiveart7873]

Very, very good revieuw!!! Thank you so much😊

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Thank you

Any recommendations on screen protectors? I got a new iPad Air and Apple Pencil a few days ago and I'm nervous about damaging the glass with the pencil ... i know officially it doesn't, but as you mentioned, you have lots of fine scratches in it...

[@nommh]

Finally I realize why so many people have difficulties with the slipperiness of the apple pencil on the iPad: They were used to another pencil on a different drawing surface. I don’t know any better when drawing, because I only started playing around with lines and colours when I got my iPad. Writing now, that is a different matter entirely, because I use fountain pens on an almost daily basis.

[@katherinerexroad8493]

Omg hey there fellow fp-user! I use a pilot capless for work everyday and learning to write and keep a good posture has been the challenge so far with the Apple Pencil on iPad. Not to mention the pencil is a tad thinner than I prefer for a writing utensil thickness…

[@angelicbeauty2695]

@@katherinerexroad8493 You can get a grip for the apple pencil if it is too thin for you. I got mine from goupper. Mine is too thin for me as well.

[@artimisrok313]

Does it make the writing quieter?

[@tiinymiia3341]

I had a matte protector and it just got scratched so I had to take it off might do this thanks !!

[@elisa.florido9069]

does it feel like the S pen of the Samsung tablet? have you or someone else used both? cause I want an ipad but I like more how the s pen feels

[@LeChimp-jg6fh]

Awesome video. Imma try these.

[@cjdusart9083]

Hi... are the cheaper tips you got made of rubber or pvc instead of silicone? I got some dux ducis silicone tips and they seem to work well, but considering getting the pen tips after seeing this video.

[@tolido20]

Oh this was really what I needed. I tried a paperlike in the past, but it didn't work for me because of the grain. And when sketching on the iPad I just needed more grip. So I hope that these tips are maybe the way

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Definitely worth a try!

[@taranagnew436]

are these good for playing games/surfing the web/watching vids?

[@taranagnew436]

and does the tip of the pencil go all the way in (right to the botton till no moving on the silicone?)

[@connieebinger6343]

Great comparison, great information! Thank you!

[@beekind2235]

Will using the Apple Pencil directly on the screen wreck either the tip of the pencil or the iPad screen? I’m buying an iPad mini 5 soon and I’m doing some research first.

[@yigitylmaz5159]

i think temperad glass and tip cover with good option :/ i dont know what should i buy

[@3liass__]

I would use tip cover since I use paperlike screen and I have heard some reviews on how paperlike can break you Apple Pencil.

[@foolpierrot]

im considering getting one after having a bad experience with applying a matte screen protector. should i get some?

[@TeamFish15]

Will a matte screen protector alter the viewing experience if I’m watching a movie on my iPad?

[@jdoodah]

I put a matte one on mine and the text was just about legible, everything was super blurry. I'm going to try again with one more brand and see but I don't have higher expectations.

[@imkeebs]

Awesome video mate!
