description Paperlike Screen Protector (v2) Overview

Paperlike is a matte screen protector that gives the iPad Pro's glass surface a paper-like texture, ideal for artists using the Apple Pencil. The v2 version reduces the 'rainbow sparkle' effect common with matte protectors while maintaining a smooth drawing experience. It also reduces glare and fingerprints. However, it slightly decreases screen clarity and brightness (by about 10-15%) and may wear down Apple Pencil tips faster than a glass protector.

Installation is straightforward with the included alignment frame. For digital artists who prioritize drawing feel over absolute display purity, Paperlike is the top choice.

help Paperlike Screen Protector (v2) FAQ

Does the Paperlike v2 degrade the screen clarity of the iPad Pro?

While the v2 version successfully reduced the "rainbow sparkle" effect common to matte films, it still diffuses light. This means you will notice a slight decrease in contrast and sharpness compared to bare glass.

Will applying Paperlike ruin the Apple Pencil's hard plastic tip?

The textured surface of the Paperlike creates friction that simulates paper, but it does cause noticeably faster wear on the standard Apple Pencil tips. Many digital artists keep spare tips on hand because they may need replacing every few months.

Can I reuse my Paperlike v2 if I take it off my iPad?

No, Paperlike is designed for a single application and cannot be successfully reapplied once removed. Taking it off will likely stretch the film or introduce dust underneath, ruining the adhesion.

Does the Paperlike v2 support Face ID and touch sensitivity without issues?

Yes, the screen protector is thin enough that Face ID and multi-touch gestures work perfectly fine. The iPad's display sensors easily read through the matte film without any noticeable lag.
