- Made in Japan Paper Texture Paper-Like Anti Glare Matte Screen Protector iPad Pro [1 Pack] [12.9 Inch]

Pros: -Installing was easier than I thought it'd be. Only trouble was me worrying about getting it on, but overall theres nothing that you can't go back and fix -Really love the toothiness of this product, honestly surprised it has only 35 reviews right now (I did get it on sale) -The paper like texture is really fun to play with, makes drawing and writing a lot more enjoyable than I had with ICarez Tempered Glass screen protector -Overall the product you're looking for if you really want a thicker paper feel Cons: -Can get annoying when swiping with your finger, it's just like how it'de sound if you were to swipe your hand on an actual paper which gets sort of loud. I'm not bothered by it too much, still worth the paper texture -I wish the installing process was more clear, instructions were vague and I was struggling to know what to do next -Makes the quality of the screen look slighty grainy, but very subtle. Personally, I kind of like the look, gives it sort of an aesthetic -The cut of the shape, atleast from my order, does not exactly line up with the ipad, but I managed to get it on the best I could. The cut of the circle is lopsided to the home button and the edges seem to not be completely straight. Not much of a problem now that I have it on, but def made the application process a little bit of a drag.

This protector was exactly what I needed. I use this on the 12.9 2018 IPAD pro and it was easy to place and easy to remove any dust or particles if it got on the sticky side. Just used scotch tape to remove any along the way to place it on the display. I even transferred it another IPAD Pro at the apple store with no issues. It did not ruin it and it was still sticky. I used tape they gave in apple and did it right there in the store. They were impressed I could and no bubbles. I gave them tips how to do it for their customers too. The texture is matte and it writes nice using the apple pencil.

Title clearly states it’s for 12.9 WITH the home button. You should ignore reviews from people saying it doesn’t work on their 3rd gen iPads. Installation is not the worst I’ve ever done (I worked at that blue/yellow electronics retail store installing screens all day for a couple years), but not as easy as the tempered glass ones that are popular now. I had a couple of pieces of dust under the screen, but I just lifted a corner, stuck in a piece of paper with scotch tape hanging off the edge a bit, pulled out the dust, and pressed the air bubbles back out of the screen protector. Looks great. Getting it aligned perfectly took a couple tries (mainly, the home button and camera hole were tough to “center” both). The feel when using the Pencil is MUCH better than the bare screen. DOWNSIDE: It’s noisey when swiping your finger across it. Minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless. It’s well-made, and works as intended. I recommend it.

I purchased this screen protector, as I draw frequently on the iPad and needed a matte or 'paper like' screen protector as my iPad screen was too slippery for my apple pencil. It was very easy to install, and if you mess up the application it's very easy to fix. The texture is good, just matte enough to distinctly feel and give friction needed for drawing comfortably, but not too matte where it is uncomfortable to use. overall, I am extremely happy with this product. I do have a few gripes with this screen protector though. When applied, it gives an almost static RGB effect to the screen. I'm not quite sure why it does this. I can view and use it fine, I just ignore the static but if you are someone who cannot ignore a thin film or static I would not recommend it. however, this screen protector is serving me very well, and I am very happy with it! works exactly as intended

I always found the iPad screen way too slippery, which is fine when I’m inking something, but it made it extremely uncomfortable to sketch on the screen. The paper texture of this protector is no joke, it really does feel like paper. Although it’s not exactly like drawing in a sketchbook because the stylus nib is not nearly sharp enough, the protector makes sketching at least bearable now. It’s also feels very satisfying to rub my hands on the screen just because. There are two things to be aware of before buying this that you must keep in mind. First, there is a noticeable grainy texture across the entire screen (refer to photos. That’s not part of the art, that’s the effect of screen light through the protector). However, it’s rather easy to tune out once you get used to it. Second, it wears the nib of the iPad Pencil over time. I’ve had this screen protector on my iPad for about 6.5 months, and the result is the nib has sharpened to a point (third pic: normal nib on Left, worn nib on Right). The pros outweigh the cons for my situation since it allows me to actually sketch on the screen, but every person’s situation is different, so choose whether or not buy based on your own needs and preferences.

Install is about as easy as can be but like any other screen protector, is nerve racking. I found that with a VERY light spray of windex on a lint free micro fiber cloth, cleaning the glass is superior to the sticky tape it came with. Additionally, any tape, including the one included can leave a residue on the screen which can be cleaned off with the included cloth. Also, some high quality clear tape (like in the video) is helpful for removing dust but not for lifting the screen protector off the iPad. For that I use a plastic razor (see photo and buy on Amazon). Once any dust is fully removed, use the plastic razor to push any remaining bubbles off. About as close to paper as you can get. FYI this is indeed made in Japan but cut in Taiwan. No biggie. Go slow, apply in a clean environment and you’ll be fine.

I draw on my iPad for 4-6 hours a day at times, and had been using a regular matte screen protector until now. That worked okay, but I found even the mattes still felt "glassy." So I tried this protector out despite it being 3x as expensive--and was not disappointed! From what I've found, it lasts longer than the cheaper protectors I was using, and it has at least twice the grain. While it doesn't feel exactly like paper (it has slight rubberiness to the feel) it provides enough resistance for my Apple pencil that its close enough, and I've found it much more enjoyable to use than other options. I also watch a lot of TV on my iPad and this protector hasn't interfered with screen quality in any really noticeable way. In a month of use I have not noticed any smudging, scratching, or glare. This will be my go-to protector for now, and I recommend it to anyone using the iPad for art.

I ordered it for the correct iPad Pro size and the screen protector is too big for my screen.... it lays over the edges of my iPad. When I have my case on the adhesive isn’t sticky enough so it lifts up on all the edges. I really really love the way it writes. It feels like paper and the texture is great. I’m sad this didn’t work out for me just because of a sizing issue. I needed it to be functional (which it is) and cosmetically pleasing while in a case for my study instagram.

Perfect product!!
