Astropad Rock Paper Pencil v2.0 – Paper Screen Protector for iPad 10.2 (7th, 8th, 9th Gen) + point Apple Pencil Tips 2 Pack – Compatible with Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd Gen

This is my second Rock Paper Pencil screen protector and after trying a couple others, this one is by far my favorite. The feeling is similar to writing on paper with a ball point pen. It provides a little more of a tactical feel without being too rough or having too much pencil resistance.The fact that it’s easily removable is the biggest selling point. No bubbles, easy installation with unlimited retries if it’s not aligned right, and when I’m not drawing I can take it off to have my normal iPad screen back.A little on the pricier side but well worth it for the versatility, quality, and total package value. Just get yourself one you won’t regret it.

Tl;dr put it on easily, got a pen tip that scratched, but the second tip provided was fine. Astropad customer service is sending me a replacement for free. Easy to apply, feels like pen on paper, and doesn't effect visibility or pressure sensitivity for apple pencil.I ordered this after trying paperlike and finding itdifficult to put it on without bubbles. I stumbled upon astropad after trying to find alternatives to paperlike and wanted to give it a try.The application was simple, amd after cleaning ny ipad screen, it went on smoothly and easily. I put on one of the pen tips provided amd started doing some basic up and down strokes and it scratched and snagged. I was seriously disappointed that I'd already ruined my product without even using it for it's intended purpose!! I then used the second pen tip provided, and it glided across the screen protector like butter. It would seem the first tip was defective.I immediately wrote to Astropad customer service telling them what happened. Within 24 hours, they wrote back a personal message apologizing for the mishap, gathered my information, and are sending a replacement at no cost to me.Please consider this product if you're interested in the pen on paper feel with a removable screen. Other than the initial incident, I've had no trouble with it, and the sensitivity, precision, and visibility is pristine. Overall great product and I will be telling others about it!

I was skeptical, but this is a fantastic screen protector for artists or anyone that uses the Apple pencil a lot. I was previously using the matte protector from Elecom, which is also great, but installation is a pain, which means replacing it is also a pain. I spend a lot of time using Procreate and I wear the protectors out and always dread putting a new one on. Well...NOT ANYMORE, y'all. This was, hands down, the easiest install ever. And the surface is perfect for drawing. Maybe even better than my Cintiq Pro, if I may be so bold. I just love that extra little bit of friction. It's like using a felt tip on good watercolor paper.Don't hesitate to buy this. I'm ordering a spare!

I like that it was easy to install. The protector itself was well made, it had magnets all around the edges, I could see through it just fine, and it provided a nice paper feel to my iPad. I was disappointed that it did not adhere properly with my case. The case caused it to bubble up in areas, which causes issues when I wrote. I returned it.

There's a new version of this screen protector that I am eager to try. But as for version 2.0 (the one I am reviewing), I have had it for almost a year, and I am very happy with it. It has changed the way I use my iPad Pro. I write a lot, and this feels almost as good as paper. The only issue I have had with it over time is that the screen protector develops scratches. This might have to do with writing style, pressure, dust, and combination of these factors. I reached out to their customer support team after an initial glitch with my screen protector, and they immediately resolved the issue. They've been very patient in hearing feedback and are prompt in following-up. I would definitely recommend this to all iPad (and especially iPad Pro) users, especially if you write a lot on your iPad. It would be good to be able to order tips (or screen protectors) separately.
