Your observations are exactly like my experience with paperlike. Like you, I have both models used on two iPads with two pencils. The experience is completely different from the original model. Even the sound it made on the original paperlike was satisfying and the friction was more like ‘real paper’. I hope they can get this figured out on the next gen. Thanks!

I really loved my original Paperlike that I had years ago. It lasted for AGES. But when I got the iPad Pro 2020 and got the new Paperlike, it was scratched up the first day I used it! I also could never get all the air bubbles out. But when I got off-brand matte screen protectors, the bubbles came out fine and after several months (around a year, actually) no scratches. It’s starting to get a few spots around the edges that aren’t adhering to the iPad screen as much anymore, but I barely notice it unless I’m looking. It was a 2-pack like Paperlike, but half the price, so I still have one left.

[@jm7720]

Try using letter sized clear acetate or view foils ( for those old enough to remember), it works really well and is dirt cheap. I just tape it on near the top and the clear material gives you just enough tooth for a realistic drawing feedback. The material is perfectly clear and does not leave a residue on your ipad screen. You can easily replace the vinyl or acetate since it is not stuck on. I have experimented with several materials with different feedback feel … just dig in your old art drawer and see what you can find ……….

I just purchased an IPad Pro 4th Gen 12.9 inch, along with PaperLike 2. After watching your video, I'm a little nervous, because your review was with the most recent IPad Pro (correct me if I'm wrong). Nevertheless, I'm gonna apply it and see if any of your points are obvious. I too have enjoyed PaperLIke 1 on both my IPad Pros (11 & 12.9 3rd Gen). It's the reason why I immediately purchased it for my new tablet. Thanks for this truly honest review. It was very well thought out and presented. By the way, I am a Writer & Copy Editor, so much of what I do deals with writing.

[@StayfDraws]

This is my personal experience with PaperLike 2. It all depends on the way you use your Apple Pencil and with what strength you apply it. Let me know what your experience is when you use it.

[@djdarkstar187]

I'm pretty sure any screen protector with with tooth to it is going to wear away at the pencil. The smoother the surface, the less tooth, and less friction to wear away at the pencil nib.

[@helen.lovesyou]

Hi. I bought my iPad mini after a long time of not owning any tablets and bought paper-like after seeing good reviews on it. I like how it stops glare in the screen but I hate how it makes it hard for the ipad to sense my fingers and prevents me from swiping, and zooming in or out when using the Sketchbook app

[@davidt.4294]

I recently bought the new M1 iPad Pro 12.9 inches and also Paperlike 2. I can't say anything about wear on the tip or anything like that because I've only had it for 3 weeks. However, I immediately noticed that the paperlike creates an extreme rainbow effect. I think that Paperlike 2 is not really mature in combination with the new display, so I would definitely advise against this combination as it makes the new display almost completely redundant. P.s. Thank you for your honest and authentic review, I discovered you through this video and will definitely check out the others too. Greetings from Austria

[@TonyJeffers]

I noticed that the colors are different with the paperlike screen protector especially with the iPad Pro 2021. Also, you are absolutely right the texture from the paperlike 1 to Paperlike 2 is completely different. Paperlike 2 almost feels like a plastic wax surface.

[@lancebarker]

Thanks for that. I prefer to just become accustomed to the feel of the Apple Pencil on glass.

[@StayfDraws]

When you just start out drawing with the Apple Pencil, the pencil needs to adjust itself tou your touch. When you draw with it a little longer then the grip will get better.

I have done some research on the paperlike, and I noticed that there were a lot of reviews like this. I didn't know ow that there was a paperlike 1 or 2, so this is very useful. It’s good to know that their previous product was good, but it’s sad that they have made it worse and not made anymore improvements.

[@jm7720]

Well the previous product wasn't good. It created even more scratches. So no

[@warriorofaurora]

@@jm7720 oh I didn’t know I. What do you mean by even more scratches though?

[@jm7720]

@@warriorofaurora Paperlike 1 was designed with more friction than paperlike 2 causing nibs to wear down faster. Paperlike 2 they reduced the friction ( think of sandpaper) and so the nibs take longer to wear down but what still remains with 1 and 2 is scratches. Because its science. Go down to your local hardware store get a coarse sandpaper and a fine sandpaper. Take your fingernail and run it across it. Two things will happen with BOTH. Your nail will start to wear down ( sooner the coarse than the fine) and you will see scratches on the sandpaper. That's why all of these products don't work. The only way to not reduce the nib or get scratches is to use the product as it was intended... apple pencil on glass. That's it. I know it won't give that nice paperlike feel but right now that is the only way without getting scratches or nibs wearing down.

Writing or drawing on the glass screen feels horrible.

I love my Paperlike1 and have a light touch so I haven’t worn down the Apple Pencil. When I first got the iPad, sometimes the glass feels like nails on chalkboard.

I own an iPad Pro 2020 12.9”, and i use the paper like 1.

I even got in contact with Mark from pen tips and he replaced the damaged ones, but i won’t be using them on the paper like much anymore.

[@ketowolf]

Good honest review. To be honest, I’ve used Paperlike2 on my iPad for months and I’ve loved it. I feel a good amount of friction vs the bare glass. I found this video though because I’ve been looking at screen protectors for the new iPad Pro M1 with XDR, and I wanted to see what options are available today. I love the Paperlike for drawing which I primarily use my iPad for, but with the XDR screen, I feel sad about putting any matte screen protector on it because it will decrease the quality of the XDR display which feels like a shame. So I’m a bit torn. My Paperlike2 protector is functionally great, I’m satisfied with it, but it DOES dull the colors. The scratches it picks up is reminiscent to how my Wacom devices have picked up scratches, so I expected it to be honest. I’m considering practicing with the Apple Pencil on the bare glass, but I always hate fighting an art tool to function the way I want. An art tool should be as natural as possible so I can focus on the creative side of art, not fighting the mechanical side of creating art. But maybe I can adjust. We’ll see.

[@StayfDraws]

Maybe Pen tips would be a good solution. They are tips you put on the tip of your Apple Pencil. i use them mainly for inking so i have more ontrol over my line work. I have made a video review about it and you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ6UiJeffr2Uq5I

If i use paperlike just to write not drawing, will it be scratched easily?

[@shocknawe]

This is probably going to sound rude, however that is not my intention but: How could something provide friction and texture but not wear down the pencil’s tip? I personally dont have actual brand name Paperlike, given how expensive it is, but I use Nillkin (I dont want to promote anything, but I feel people are going to ask, idk) which isnt the cheapest option either. It seems to wear down the pencil’s tip as much as Paperlike 1 does, which I believe to be expected from a product that is essentially “fancy high grit sandpaper screen protector for the iPad”. Again, how would there be sensible friction without wear either from the tip or from the protector? It is, to me, simple physics of the interaction between 2 materials’ hardness, no? That’s why diamonds are classified as “hard” and “the hardest material on Earth”, because if you were to rub it against something, the “something” wears out before the diamond.

I don't like screen protectors, because most of them don't give me the smooth feeling of touching a glas screen. That's why I mostly remove them when they are pre-installed on a new smartphone. But for the iPad I would like to try a paperlike feeling when writing or sketching with my Apple pencil. But the danger of scratches on screen, unproper attachment of the screen protector, the consuming or destroying of the pencil tip (I am using Pencil 2nd gen. since the start in 2018 and it has still its first tip) prevents me from putting on a protector. Since I also use the iPad for consuming media I would like to maintain the color origin of the display and not watch movies on a matte protector. So, what I am looking for is a paperlike-like REMOVABLE screen protector that can be used when needed and removed when not. I found some in the web, for instance the magnetic screen protector from ESR. Does anybody have any experience with it? My concerns are scratches and the Pencil tips. Thanks!

i'm quite concerned about its wear on the pencil. the paranoid person in me thinks it's just a scheme between paperlike and apple to generate loads from replacing pencil tips and the "screen protectors" that wear them down. likely not the case, but still, why should i bother? above that, when i took it off after it wouldn't adhere properly, it left a surface level scratch on my brand new m2 pro 11inch. tried to put the second one on and it was on the adhesive backwards (label said paperlike side but the stickers were reversed so it didn't come off the plastic and then a messy situation ensued). all in all, i guess i will just get my money back since it seems like either a major waste, a scheme, or both. not to mention, it's a huge drawback for artists if it at all affects hue and color. like why even bother using a high end pro apple product then? source: had product for 2 hours.

Because they stopped sponsoring you?

I think it's the other way around, the apple pen nibs should make an improvement. Apple pen should make more sturdy pen nib. Or the Paper Like should make/sell the more sturdy Apple pen nib replacement too as a companion for the Paper Like it self. So it's a bundle, the Paper Like + Apple pen nib. Get the idea?

[@JigokuHebi]

@Telephassa Rose it would not, as the pressure is inside, that golden thingy u have there. The nib is kind of like a protector for that part and well part to draw write with as that golden thingy would be a pain to use xD

[@lamercussion]

I used the paperlike and im convinced that they do no do any RnD at all haha. They probably just source some "new" sort of screen protector from china OEM market and they just market the hell out of it.

[@oo--7714]

They probably do

[@RogerZoul]

The easy solution is to quit using paper at all and there will be no missing of the paper feel.

[@sammyshizzardanimation4974]

Yeah I see no need to use Paperlike since Im so used to the iPad screen anyway. The cons very much outweigh the pros.

[@mikedabro1084]

Pencil and paper will always be better than any ipads. Nothing can replace analog feel.

[@RogerZoul]

@@mikedabro1084 Dude, plastic on glass/plastic is analog, in terms of feel.

[@BisonAffinity]

what a dumb statement

[@Mocolo_Iam]

4:27 i love this digital painting! Why do other digital artists draw only in cartoony style, why have everybody forgotten about realism?

[@2funkidesign]

Can anyone tell me how to remove it?

[@StayfDraws]

Just pull it off

[@rogeh5687]

I bought it and I’m so torn because it’s made me so much neater but it ruined my pen tip.

[@aaaaea9268]

$34!!!!!!!! HOW LOL Which one would you choose: 10 paperlike or 1 iPad

[@xsparik]

Paperlike and any other screen protectors are more or less scams by sponsored KZbinrs.

[@supermegamazurs2896]

Tried it two times and both of them I was disappointed

[@deeknits]

I didn’t even like Paperlike 1. I hated the way it dulled my screen and I took it off after 5mins and I just draw directly on the glass now. 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@keeslauwers6824]

Are you Dutch... Me too

[@PlusPassie]

Thanks Steef, ik twijfelde heel erg of ik misschien toch 34 euro moest uitgeven maar dat ga ik nu niet doen. Ik heb ook een ander merk geprobeerd. Meteen krassen en ik moest de tip vervangen. Ik denk dat ik het maar zonder blijf doen en hoop dat Apple ooit zelf met iets komt.

[@Narque]

people paying £35 for this when you can buy one for £5 and feel exactly the same.

[@anzatzi]

Dutch Master!

[@O-B-I-E]

Paper like ruins your pencil and the pencil ruins your screen protector

[@adithyan3784]

problem is not with paperlike, even normal pencil tips get degraded when drawn on paper. apple pencil tips should be cheaper, thts what is needed

[@zoul7046]

same goes to the paperlike screen protector, since it’s not any special except being more prone to scratches. i think the price should be competitive to the normal screen protector

[@alxndr5789]

I don't get the Problems People have with it. I'm using it for over a Year on my IPad Pro and my Pen has still the same Nip and it works perfectly fine. Didn't use Paperlike 1 though.

[@BardzoPowaznyUzytkownik]

If you want tooth something is going to swear down pencil or screen. That's just physics.

[@TimoMM]

“Doodles?” For realsies? :p

[@inframatic]

just downvote any youtuber that shills paperlike
