I feel like this is the first real review of Paper Like that I've come across. Many others are sponsored by them and claim it some amazing new invention for better drawing experience.. I'm glad I didn't buy into it and watched your review first!
Hm, I already bought it and noticed the same that you say here afterwards. I tried to skip the videos as soon as I heard they got them gifted from paperlike, but there are almost no other "free" videos about this product. Nevermind, I am still looking forward to it. :) Hope it arrives soon. A designer in our company is using it on a daily and at least he loves it.
UPDATE: - I re-tried Paperlike again to see if it changed in quality, it's the same. I tossed it out. And I just finally changed my Tech Armor cover to a brand new Tech Armor cover. (I accidentally REALLY gouged it) but wow, two years drawing on a $5 cover that actually feels like paper and doesn't wear down your apple pencil while drawing. Be sure to read through the comments to see other honest opinions.
D.J. Coffman I gave into the hype .. UGH huge mistake , apparently I was expecting unicorns 🤷🏼♀️ My first thought when my pen hit the screen was “hang on .. did I buy this at the dollar store” 😂🤦🏼♀️ money wasted !!!
Have you tried Bersem or Elecom? I mostly use my ipad for notetaking in class. Also I heard that Tech armor produces more color noise when compared to these two mentioned.
It’s funny I to as criticized for being an American... guys, I work for a German company. And they care more About quality and craft than anyone. Anyone who says $30 for an iPad Screencover isn’t overpriced is high... or connected to the maker of the product and they can’t take a critique. I get it. It’s okay guys. I know the truth can hurt a little but I’m glad this review has saved some people some $$$, especially artists who aren’t necessarily rolling in dough.
Three years later, this video is still the gift that keeps on giving😁 I never tried the “official” PaperLike, but was using another one reasonably priced from Amazon. It’s pretty good if the only thing you’re doing is drawing on your iPad, but I also play mobile games that require touch, and my screen film was just too thick and prevented fluid swipes. Again, perfect for drawing, not so much for anything else. I’ve been binging your _Secret Forces_ videos and so The Algorithm suggested this. I’m so glad I watched and when my Tech Armor screen film came and was installed, I was *amazed* at how there was enough texture to make drawing a great experience, but not so much “tooth” that it inhibited finger swipes and selections. I’m so impressed, I bought another two (four total) just in case it ever stops being sold😂 I’ll never use another screen film for drawing. Tech Armor owes you a kickback👍🏾😉
I just got the Tech Armor matte screen protector for my new mini 5. You were right; it’s awesome. Thanx. Also, the package came with 3 protectors for the $9.99 price! Definitely a better deal than the PaperLike and I got it from Amazon with free 1-day shipping.
Brutally honest I suppose. :) I do get sick of seeing a lot of the sponsored reviews out there, or when they send free product and you're expected to say something nice. I did have high hopes for this product, but it just didn't meet up to the hype, OR the price.
Yeah I don’t use any screen protector on the iPad, I just really like the smooth feeling of the Apple Pencil sliding over the screen. BUT I haven’t even tried a screen protector, so I don’t know how the difference will feel to me.
Thank you..lI just plunked a crap load on the new ipadpro ....I don’t have the dollars to waste on bull*** !You saved me much needed money and time....Amazon Prime...tech armor
I just tried this other screen protector that my friend gave me..it has a paper like matte finish.I love it but my pen wobbles...it’s something that the pencil does.I can tell when I draw a straight line...it skips...have you noticed this with your protector?
Went for the Tech armor anti-glare: (1) increases friction and improves usability of the pen, (2) effectively reduces glare. Thank you for this review.
BLESS YOU! I was just about to press purchase on the Paperlike webstore and I decided to just look at a few more reviews. I immediately opened up an Amazon tab window while I was half way through your video, found the Tech Armor product and now that the video is over I am completing my Tech Armor order through Amazon and closing the Paperlike webstore tab. I hope Tech Armor knows about your video and your honest endorsement. Thanks a million, you saved me $15 which is more than double the price of the Tech Armor screen protector. Good job man! Good job!
You sir have earned yourself a subscriber. This review was honest, funny and concise, many people and myself are very thankful to not spend more than they need
Thanks for the honest review. I was considering buying the paperlike. I'd watched a couple of reviews, both of which where the product had been received for free, so I was looking for a review from someone who had actually purchased the product. Glad I saw your video - looks like I'll be buying the Tech Armor.
I have thought for a while what screen protector to get and figured I would leave my 2 cents here too after buying a TechArmor one. Thank you for this video as it helped me loads in making an honest decision. 1) With the cover by Tech Armor, there us no more horrible glass sound when writing! First thing that stood out to me, and it is AMAZING! 2) As opposed to what you read that ‘matte’ screen protectors feel like sandpaper, this one (I got the HD clear film screen protector) feels more "smooth" actually. There is slightly more resistance, but in a soft way. It’s a bit hard to explain, but in other words: The apple pen glides effortlessly over the screen yet obeys every move you make, unlike on glass, where it "slips". 3) The anti-glare does exactly as promised, so even under a bright lamp the screen is perfectly legible. At the small cost of a more 'refracted' white hue on screen but that is simply the pay off that cannot be avoided with matte protection (and well worth it in my opinion). 4) I'm a perfectionist to the core, so prepping my screen for application took forever (until I was happy with how clean it was and triple checking that it was and remained dust free) but then, the screen protector went on effortlessly, perfectly, and bubble free, as promised. 5) I was a bit apprehensive that with the case around my iPad as well, the screen protector would peel off (or be pushed back off) the sides, but the edges fit just over it and the protector didn’t budge at all when putting it in the case, so very pleasantly surprised there. Well worth every penny so far, curious to see how it will hold over time, and how long the matte layer will hold. But seeing there’s a second screen protector in the box still, I’m sure this purchase will last me a while!!
I needed to see this vid. I just got my 12.9 iPad Pro and considered this screen protector. They sent their product to so many artist for them to give a shout out that I was almost convinced to spend that extra money. No, I will check the Tech Armor.
I bought one of these thinking exactly the same, it was on sale thought I’d try it out. Totally agree with you. Not worth the price tag nor is it that much more superior!
Thank you so much for the honest review. I'm so glad to see an honest review that's not "this is godlike because I got sponsored!". I'll definitely be checking out Tech Armor.
Thank you sooooo much for the honest review. Seriously, trying to find a review who wasn’t clearly paid by paperlike was ridiculous. Looking into tech armor now lol. May the Force be with you my friend.
I really like the tone of your video D.J. Thank you, I was about to buy Paperlike but thought the price was a bit high and looked for some more reviews about it. Your video helped me to make up my mind. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking the time to create and post this video. It was most helpful! For Jan and others who pushed back on the not including the "parts that just get binned" criticism, I would like to submit this comment. I don't necessarily think this is an American-only thing, but when I purchase something, presentation is often indicative of quality. If I give my boss a report that isn't neatly formatted and contains spelling and grammar errors, he's going to think, based on the presentation, that I didn't put much effort into it, or didn't care enough about it or his opinion of me, to polish the goods before delivery. You should also consider that you are selling to a market that's paid a high price for the iPad Pro 12.9" model specifically because of the quality of this product. The onus of the screen protector's installation is on the end user. Everything should be included to ensure that when the product is installed, it has a good chance of being perfectly done; the way that you intended for people to enjoy it. The part in Jan's response, "I guess I wasn't experienced enough to know that people will not type Camel Case...", had a somewhat passive-aggressive tone that I don't think was intentional. It would have been better to create links in both formats that point to the same page and say, "We have corrected the link. Thanks for helping us rectify the problem. Please review the instructions and let us know if there's anything we missed." There's no need to throw yourself on any sword and no need to talk about what people will or won't do that should have been obvious. Correct the problem by ensuring people following the old link or the new link will get to the instructions, and move on.
Omg. I’m soooo depressed. I just bought the paperlike. I wish I saw this sooner. I knew it was going to take longer coming from Germany but I didn’t know it would take weeks and that I could get the tech armor for a third of the price and in two days. I feel like an idiot. The pitch on the website really got to me and I wanted to believe it actually felt like paper. Oh man. I feel like a sucker.
Kaidie, it got me too. I was SUPER excited to draw on it, as you see in the video, but yeah, the price doesn't make it anything special. This is exactly why I decided to make this honest review after seeing other "sponsored" ones.
Gaahh. I paid for the extra $16 shipping too which tracks it and I just got an email this morning thanking me for my business and it said it will be shipped within the next 7 business days. I could've ordered multiple sets of the tech armor and the price still wouldn't have been as high. Oh man! You live, you learn. Bottom line: Dont be a sucker, do your research and amazon prime will always be your friend. The funny thing is I watched three videos saying how great it was and I guess I wanted to believe in it so much that I just bypassed the fact that they all said, I just got this in the mail for free.
This might be the first honest review I’ve seen of this product. All the others I’ve watched make it seem like coming up with this screen protector this is the equivalent of inventing the wheel.
Thanks so much for this review. I was looking for something to make drawing with the apple pencil feel more natural. I picked up the tech armour matte screen protector and it’s been an amazing difference. I have the 9.7” ipad - the new one that works with the apple pencil - and the screen protector for the 9.7” ipad pro fits perfectly.
Very helpful video. Did a bunch of research on reviews and what you said is very similar to what most reviews say about that expensive paper like cover.
Thank you for the honest review! I have been tempted to get the Paperlike instead of the Tech Armor but was having a hard time swallowing the price difference. Good to know it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Thank you for the honest review. I am currently saving up for the iPad Pro to do artwork, and have been deciding what protective accessories I should get, especially since I've seen drop tests (-_-). Paperlike is recommended by almost all RUclipsrs, and I think that is due to them earning money if we buy from their affiliate link. This is a big problem for all viewers who depend on their reviews. I was also worried about the tips of the iPad pencil wearing down more quickly if I used the Paperlike screen protector. And honestly, I don't think it would improve the quality of the artwork. Many digital artists use Wacom screens without a screen protector and their art isn't hindered by a slip from what I can see. I rarely like videos and because of your actually honest review, you damn well have earned one!
Thanks! Be sure to look through the comments as well, lots of people who have bought it and regretted it. Honestly I was really hoping the product would have been better, but yeah ALL of the positive reviews came from people gifting them. The owner of Paperlike was nice, and had offered to send a sample of an ipad holder they were working on but I declined. I would rather only review products I actually use unprompted so it's as honest as possible.
Thanks for the review! I'm currently using the Tech Armor one. They're a pretty great company and I've been ordering screen protectors from them since my iPhone 3G with no issues.
For someone who is NOT a drawer but a calligraphy learner and wanting to purchase the iPad Pro to use procreate and so use my lettering creation with the Cricut machine, I want to add the protector and I’m so glad I found your review! First one I see where the customer bought the product! (I have noticed that the others havent been that convinced with the product either...like hands down this protector is awesome! Kind of thing) I will be looking at tech armour! Cheers!
I like your honestness. Some people on youtube who reviewed the same item, did not do this in my opinion. I'm not suggested that they were being payed for a favorable review, but it smelled fishy. Another thing that I like you are doing with the ipad pro, is making those cartoon stories . Something I am trying to do myself.
Damn. I wish I would have seen this review before I went ahead and bought it. Hopefully, it's actually good but now I'm worried. I usually use screen protectors from Power Support. They're a Japanese company I believe. But they don't have any screens for the new 11" iPad. Great video. Love the honest review.
Thanks so much for your review, D.J. In choosing it was between both brands that you comment on and for the price, wowzers, Paperlike has a long way to go in packaging their product. For that price point, they could have done what Amourtech did. I'll be getting Amourtech. I want some resistance but not too much, on the pencil, as too much resistance, over time could lead to muscle injury/repetitive strain. Again, thanks for the review, super appreciate it!
1. Genuine review 2. I hate matte screenguards as they absorb the true ipad colors 3. Cost doesnt matter to me but delivery time does 4. Packaging is fine but small n low quality wipes arent
I just had a quick question what size is your Ipad Pro I am doing research before purchasing one I, pretty new to apple products and I want to get my daughter one of these looks like the perfect tool to do sketches and I will be ordering her the Tech Armor screen cover. Great Review by the way.
Been using the screen protecter for a few months now. It's good, I like it. It gives of a nice "scratchy noise", and feels really tactile. That said, the packaging was really cheap, and it was a bit embarrassing even. The bad thing is that the protector is really easy to scratch. Get a few crumbs in (crumbs get stuck on the cover sometimes from the kitchen table) and BAM, scratched. How dry bredcrumbs can be harder than a piece of plastic I will never know. Something else worth noting I've yet to see anyone bring up is that there's a slight "rainbow" effect on the screen protector. it's not bad, but if the screen is completely white, you will notice a weird effect on the entire screen. Knowing what I know now I would deffo go for another screen protector. I really like the resistance, but yeah.. It's overpriced and does not really feel that special in hindsight.
I have an iPad Pro 10.5 new and unopened. I'm planing to purchase a screen protector soon, but I have a question to ask. Will there be a difference in color on the display comparing to an iPad without a screen protector? This is something that came to my mind while looking at different screen protector brands. Please respond, if you know anything about this?
I know these screen protectors are a massive help for digital art but I’m not sure how this SP affects the iPad outside of using it creatively. I’m only 18 so I use it for art but because it is my family’s iPad my dad and brother use it for Netflix etc. Does the grain impact the user experience outside of art?
I just bought a pack of these and I honestly think they're brilliant. Feels much better than my old protector and gives some tooth to the Apple pencil. You even get a pencil like sound when drawing on it.
Hi Really enjoyed your review. I watched it through even though I was searching for an answer to a question about paper 'like' screens, in general. Maybe you could help me, anway. I recently fitted a tempered glass protector to my ipad, not realising, paper like protectors were available. Can I fit one on top of the tempered glass or will that not work?
Thank you so so much for the detailed and no none sense review and comparison. While I'm no where near as talented as you I will like to draw and doodle. This decided it for me. Again thanks
I’ve heard other people have had the same problem with the creases on the protector good I was going to go out and get one so I will find something different
Oh my goodness. I am so glad I stumbled on this review before shedding $35 for paperlike.. I am looking for a good protector for my calligraphy use on my iPad. Thank you!!
That's what I've been thinking about, it's just a marketing gimmick that makes you wanna spend 35 bucks for matte screen which obviously you can have it for less than 10 bucks or even less. Marketing is psychology things tbh. I've got laptop with matte display, when i try with my apple pencil, yeah it does make a different but not something like papers. So, i think the cheap matte screen would be fined as long as it can draw with the apple pencil. Great video to show people which product that really has the technology or just the one that relies on people's psychology.
Great review, I also use the cheap tech armor... like it, but thought buying the paper like screen protector, thinking it might be better... I just saved money !!! Thanks
Super helpful review. I could not believe the cheapo little cleaning pads they gave you. Also, the lack of a working web page to describe the installation process is unforgivable, especially these days. For most of us, putting on a screen protector can be a bit daunting, especially lining it up properly and getting all the bubble out, and PaperLike should have had the proper procedure available on a web page. Great video review from you! Thanks again!!!
This was awesomely helpful, thank you - like others, I too was contemplating Paperlike vs. Tech Armour. Off to Amazon to get me the Tech Armour. Thanks so much for sharing your views!
Hey, I just invested in an iPad Pro for my art and I'm so excited for it to arrive. I've gotten a generic cheap matte protector but I want to invest in a legit one next pay-day. Was wondering if you could help me out with some questions. Is it possible you could comment on the differences between the two brands experience specifically - all I could pick up is that you thought paper-like was more rough? (which is a good thing right?...but you make it sound bad) You don't mention the moire (rainbow effect) on the pixels with either of them? Why specifically did you miss the old screen protector and go back, you didn't really mention the actual reason. Thanks! :) Just trying to see which one is best for me. Also have you heard of ELECOM screen protectors? It's apparently really good. I was wondering if that was one that you tried since you mention you tried quite a few! :) TIA!
i wish we could develop something with all the included installment items a very nice package like the ones the ipad pro magnetic covers have with the see-through plastic would be nice for the packaging and actually have a ipad mold so you can place the ipad in the packaging and have the packaging become a tool to install the screen and it would be nice to have 3 screens 1 at 300 grit another at 200 grit 100 grit? and then add big enough screen wipes and cloths and finally a good instruction pamphlet or video. maybe we can name it the "Coffman Paper Screens"
When you pulled out that microscopic cleaning cloth that killed it for me, they over charge and cheap out on necessary accessories. Too bad they come up on top on Google and Amazon searches. I'm going with Tech Armor, think that Tech Armor should know what a great job your doing for their company. Everyone should contact them and let them know, maybe they'll send you a new iPad Pro with a lifetime supply of Tech Armor. Thanks for your review, you just made a lot people happy.
I have an iPad pro 11 and was wondering whether the TechArmor damages the Pencil 2 nib? Also, have you tried Elecom's screen protector? Appreciate your review, straight forward, not sponsored and honest... with a smile too :)
I want this stuff for drawing/art work... and now they have newer stuff... ...I ended Up getting "HD Clear" for iPad Pro 11 (2018)... Is this what you guys would recommend?.. ... and even if there's better stuff... is this good for drawing in your opinion?..
I realize that if you invest into a matte screen protector it primarily benefits people using their devices for writing and sketching. However, I would like to know how much it would impact photos for photo editing? I would imagine based on all the reviews I’ve watched quite a bit as no one has really done that test to show the color impact on photo editing which is primarily what I would be doing. Though I would love the matte feel on my device.
As you might see, I do full color comics on mine, many with special effect brushes. There is just a very very slight difference from screen to screen. But you also have this on just about any device to monitor these days. Nothing is ever going to fully match unless it's identical screens. The cool thing is, Tech Armor are only 9.99, so you can try it and if you hate it, you haven't spent much at all to find this out. Go experiment, nothing is permanent and the covers come right off :)
Paperlike does improve the Apple Pencil feel but I took mine off after realising that I can’t do photo editing due to the screen protector dulling the colours and sharpness on my iPad Pro screen..
Hi D.J. Thanks for the honest review and I’m sorry you didn’t appreciate our minimal packaging. We haven’t focused our attention on retail, which is why we haven’t got a fancy packaging yet. We also don’t ship a squeegee, as it would land in the garbage right away and everyone has a credit card or plastic card in hand. The video is available in bit.ly/PaperOn - I gues I wasn’t experienced enough to know that people will not type CamelCase correctly and simply write in lower case. Which is what regretfully happens too often to be honest. Big lesson, we’ve printed the new instruction sheet with a new lower-case link. I’m actually very surprised you don’t feel the difference between the Tech Armor and the PaperLike. In my tests it was rubbery and not “rough”. I suppose that doesn’t make a difference to you. About the absurdly small wet-dry wipes: That’s not the cheapest in the market, but it’s the only available wet-dry set available. We’ve actually ditched that by now and we’ll soon be shipping the PaperLike with a bigger - more tablet-worthy wet wipe. Even though you’re not convinced of the PaperLike’s value, I really enjoyed your video and could have a good laugh when you got to the wet-wipe part. The PaperLike has been a game changer for the majority of our users (see the reviews paperlike.com/products/paperlike-for-ipad-12-9-inch ) and there is more to come. I hope you subscribed to our newsletter. A question: In the video you show your iPad “circling”. It looks like it’s standing on something in the middle. What is that?
Jan Sapper I can understand the minimal packaging, but that should decrease the cost possibly making the price more competitive for what this is. Basically, and no offense intended here, but honestly there is nothing special about this compared to other non-glare matte finish covers on the market like the TechArmor. Maybe we’re onto something though, as a working professional, I literally drew on the Paperlike for over 40 hours in a week, very detailed pieces, coloring, linework as sketching. Maybe with more use the oils from the hand make both of these feel about the same. My hand doesn’t usually get oily I have dryer skin and don’t need to wear gloves with my Cintiqs. The Spin is from the “SpinPad Grip” I use on the back. It’s currently out of stock on Amazon but here’s the link www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015NOI7MA/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 and you can see videos about it on RUclips. It’s generally the best stand/grip for many digital Artists. I was referred to it by Rob Sketcherman who travels the globe doing live urban sketching on his for Apple and other official brands. When you get another version of PaperLike or go into 2.0 mode, I’ll try it out. Or possibly with the new new iPads coming this year.
Lower the price if you can and you will probably sell a lot more and make up the difference. I find it hard to believe it costs that much more to produce a screen protector with more tooth or texture, but that's just a guess on my part. I went with one on Amazon at about a third of the cost. I bought a tempered glass matte screen protector for my iPhone that has a lifetime warranty for $8.
I didnt want to answer to your post but i just couldnt let it go. You sell your item for tripule the price of the competition, your packaging is nome existant Wich will cause eventual problem in delivery, your "extra items" are basicly a joke. While the product itself night be good quality , which im not questioning but overall it is definetly not worth tripule the price of the competition. The simple fact that you took the time to coment. that in this video shows that my opinion is correct. Ps: i can see the arrogance in the way you responded , it doesnt look good.
MoonboyPlays 1) triple* 2) Arrogance? The dude kept apologizing, admitting his mistake, and decided to change the wipes that the video complained about. This makes me ask again, what arrogance?
It's funny how one not so positive (non sponsered video) will mess with their sales. Usually I wouldn't let one negative review sway me but combining that with the high price tag and long shipping times settled it for me. I'm going with the tech amor. I would happily pay a little more than the cheaper tech amor (maybe $15-20). But the product would need to be on Amazon prime at least. It's 2018, people are not willing to wait weeks for a product.
Thank you! Nice video. I actually "had to" buy the iPad when entering university (its mandatory because all IT systems are designed for the use of tablets, but therefore the basic iPad version is free for students). And since I got a iPad pro and like to draw... i considered trying out some digital art. To me, it seems a bit "hard" to switch between layers, etc. Is there a possibility to connect a keyboard to the tablet and swap layers, colors, tools with the keyboard? And since you are in that comic area, that is exactly what I intend to do with my tablet. Maybe a few recommendations on set up, additional tools, apps, etc. ? I will watch a few more videos of you now ;-)
But damnit!! I want more information: on a scale of 1-5 where do the tech armour and paperlike sit in roughness?? I’ve been using the tech armour the whole time I’ve owned an iPad, and although I like it I find it fucks with the resolution quite a bit and wondered if my eye sight was getting worse due to it? It is as though my eyes just figure there’s no point in fully focusing as it’ll never be really clear. That’s been my main gripe with Techarmour. So I want a direct comparison between the two in terms of resolution impact. (And the wee rainbow effect) I understand that some degradation is simply the nature of a matte cover but can anyone shed some details between the two?
The issue you're talking about is probably about the same. Maybe I just got used to it :) - As far as roughness? Like I said the Tech Armor feels more like a toothy vellum but yet smooth with the stroke too. Paperlike felt like it would wear down the nibs (as others in the comments have said here.) - All in all, this review still stands, the Paperlike is WAY overpriced for the value it brings. TechArmor or the iCarez non-glare screens are much better.
I've been looking at the Moshi iVisor AG for a bit - a removable matte screen protector - but couldn't find any reviews relating to how it feels to draw on (or any videos within the last 6 years). Would be cool to see that reviewed.
As a professional illustrator I agree with you that PaperLike is insanely overpriced. I don’t get people who are willing to throw their well earned money at this product, while one can have the same results with the cheaper ones. I’m using TR-Trade 3x for €11, does the trick for me.
Question, have u tried wireless charging the new pencil on a wireless phone charger? No one has mentioned it just for kicks. Also, how is video quality affected by those covers?
I feel like this is the first real review of Paper Like that I've come across. Many others are sponsored by them and claim it some amazing new invention for better drawing experience.. I'm glad I didn't buy into it and watched your review first!
Hm, I already bought it and noticed the same that you say here afterwards. I tried to skip the videos as soon as I heard they got them gifted from paperlike, but there are almost no other "free" videos about this product. Nevermind, I am still looking forward to it. :) Hope it arrives soon. A designer in our company is using it on a daily and at least he loves it.
I bought it too. I don't know what to do with it now.
Idk the video was made more than a year ago. Perhaps they improved the product in the mean time?
@@danny4541 Nope, its still the same.
UPDATE: - I re-tried Paperlike again to see if it changed in quality, it's the same. I tossed it out.
And I just finally changed my Tech Armor cover to a brand new Tech Armor cover. (I accidentally REALLY gouged it) but wow, two years drawing on a $5 cover that actually feels like paper and doesn't wear down your apple pencil while drawing. Be sure to read through the comments to see other honest opinions.
Been looking for soemthing for my Surface Pro and thought I might try and fashion a iPad paperlike screen protector to fit.. But now I'm not. Yikes!
D.J. Coffman I gave into the hype .. UGH huge mistake , apparently I was expecting unicorns 🤷🏼♀️
My first thought when my pen hit the screen was “hang on .. did I buy this at the dollar store” 😂🤦🏼♀️ money wasted !!!
I heard paperlike 1 was bad but I heard there is a paperlike 2 that has much better quality. Still wouldn't justify the price tag though.
@@chickishot8172 That's the story they put out, but my artist friends have all said it's crap.
Have you tried Bersem or Elecom? I mostly use my ipad for notetaking in class. Also I heard that Tech armor produces more color noise when compared to these two mentioned.
It’s funny I to as criticized for being an American... guys, I work for a German company. And they care more
About quality and craft than anyone. Anyone who says $30 for an iPad Screencover isn’t overpriced is high... or connected to the maker of the product and they can’t take a critique. I get it. It’s okay guys. I know the truth can hurt a little but I’m glad this review has saved some people some $$$, especially artists who aren’t necessarily rolling in dough.
That German company surely can’t value quality and craft, or perspective. Seems to like opinionated dweebs though
Thanks dor the honest review, right now trying to decide whether to get an Ipad surface pro or travel with my desktop and cintiq.
I only trust American's review especially your review is the BEST and very honest.
@@616CC What's it like to get so worked up about a YT review for a matte screen protector? Must be a rough life.
Brian Mitchell what are you reading exactly? Lol
Thanks for the straight-forward, honest review; much appreciated.
Three years later, this video is still the gift that keeps on giving😁
I never tried the “official” PaperLike, but was using another one reasonably priced from Amazon. It’s pretty good if the only thing you’re doing is drawing on your iPad, but I also play mobile games that require touch, and my screen film was just too thick and prevented fluid swipes. Again, perfect for drawing, not so much for anything else.
I’ve been binging your _Secret Forces_ videos and so The Algorithm suggested this. I’m so glad I watched and when my Tech Armor screen film came and was installed, I was *amazed* at how there was enough texture to make drawing a great experience, but not so much “tooth” that it inhibited finger swipes and selections. I’m so impressed, I bought another two (four total) just in case it ever stops being sold😂 I’ll never use another screen film for drawing. Tech Armor owes you a kickback👍🏾😉
I just got the Tech Armor matte screen protector for my new mini 5. You were right; it’s awesome. Thanx. Also, the package came with 3 protectors for the $9.99 price! Definitely a better deal than the PaperLike and I got it from Amazon with free 1-day shipping.
This was a brutal review. I’ve been waiting for something like this. SOOOOOO many people on the positive bandwagon for these things.
Brutally honest I suppose. :) I do get sick of seeing a lot of the sponsored reviews out there, or when they send free product and you're expected to say something nice. I did have high hopes for this product, but it just didn't meet up to the hype, OR the price.
Yeah I don’t use any screen protector on the iPad, I just really like the smooth feeling of the Apple Pencil sliding over the screen. BUT I haven’t even tried a screen protector, so I don’t know how the difference will feel to me.
Thank you..lI just plunked a crap load on the new ipadpro ....I don’t have the dollars to waste on bull*** !You saved me much needed money and time....Amazon Prime...tech armor
Sooooo what did you think of the Tech Armor Saundra? Or did you go with something else?
I just tried this other screen protector that my friend gave me..it has a paper like matte finish.I love it but my pen wobbles...it’s something that the pencil does.I can tell when I draw a straight line...it skips...have you noticed this with your protector?
Went for the Tech armor anti-glare: (1) increases friction and improves usability of the pen, (2) effectively reduces glare.
Thank you for this review.
BLESS YOU! I was just about to press purchase on the Paperlike webstore and I decided to just look at a few more reviews. I immediately opened up an Amazon tab window while I was half way through your video, found the Tech Armor product and now that the video is over I am completing my Tech Armor order through Amazon and closing the Paperlike webstore tab. I hope Tech Armor knows about your video and your honest endorsement. Thanks a million, you saved me $15 which is more than double the price of the Tech Armor screen protector. Good job man! Good job!
You sir have earned yourself a subscriber.
This review was honest, funny and concise, many people and myself are very thankful to not spend more than they need
Thanks for the honest review. I was considering buying the paperlike. I'd watched a couple of reviews, both of which where the product had been received for free, so I was looking for a review from someone who had actually purchased the product. Glad I saw your video - looks like I'll be buying the Tech Armor.
I have thought for a while what screen protector to get and figured I would leave my 2 cents here too after buying a TechArmor one. Thank you for this video as it helped me loads in making an honest decision.
1) With the cover by Tech Armor, there us no more horrible glass sound when writing! First thing that stood out to me, and it is AMAZING!
2) As opposed to what you read that ‘matte’ screen protectors feel
like sandpaper, this one (I got the HD clear film screen protector)
feels more "smooth" actually. There is slightly more resistance,
but in a soft way. It’s a bit hard to explain, but in other words: The apple pen glides effortlessly over the screen yet obeys every move you make, unlike on glass, where it "slips".
3) The anti-glare does exactly as promised, so even under a bright
lamp the screen is perfectly legible. At the small cost of a more 'refracted' white hue on screen but that is simply the pay off that cannot be avoided with matte protection (and well worth it in my opinion).
4) I'm a perfectionist to the core, so prepping my screen for application took forever (until I was happy with how clean it was and triple checking that it was and remained dust free) but then, the screen protector went on effortlessly, perfectly, and bubble free, as promised.
5) I was a bit apprehensive that with the case around my iPad as well, the screen protector would peel off (or be pushed back off) the sides, but the edges fit just over it and the protector didn’t budge at all when putting it in the case, so very pleasantly surprised there.
Well worth every penny so far, curious to see how it will hold over time, and how long the matte layer will hold. But seeing there’s a second screen protector in the box still, I’m sure this purchase will last me a while!!
I needed to see this vid. I just got my 12.9 iPad Pro and considered this screen protector. They sent their product to so many artist for them to give a shout out that I was almost convinced to spend that extra money. No, I will check the Tech Armor.
Thank you I needed this real review among other 'reviews'.
I bought one of these thinking exactly the same, it was on sale thought I’d try it out. Totally agree with you. Not worth the price tag nor is it that much more superior!
Thank you so much for the honest review. I'm so glad to see an honest review that's not "this is godlike because I got sponsored!". I'll definitely be checking out Tech Armor.
This guy speaks the truth, wish I had come across this before purchasing the "paper-like". There are better alternatives, they just have a great name.
Thank you sooooo much for the honest review. Seriously, trying to find a review who wasn’t clearly paid by paperlike was ridiculous. Looking into tech armor now lol. May the Force be with you my friend.
I really like the tone of your video D.J. Thank you, I was about to buy Paperlike but thought the price was a bit high and looked for some more reviews about it. Your video helped me to make up my mind. Thank you again.
Glad to help! What did you end up going with?
Thank you for taking the time to create and post this video. It was most helpful!
For Jan and others who pushed back on the not including the "parts that just get binned" criticism, I would like to submit this comment. I don't necessarily think this is an American-only thing, but when I purchase something, presentation is often indicative of quality. If I give my boss a report that isn't neatly formatted and contains spelling and grammar errors, he's going to think, based on the presentation, that I didn't put much effort into it, or didn't care enough about it or his opinion of me, to polish the goods before delivery. You should also consider that you are selling to a market that's paid a high price for the iPad Pro 12.9" model specifically because of the quality of this product. The onus of the screen protector's installation is on the end user. Everything should be included to ensure that when the product is installed, it has a good chance of being perfectly done; the way that you intended for people to enjoy it.
The part in Jan's response, "I guess I wasn't experienced enough to know that people will not type Camel Case...", had a somewhat passive-aggressive tone that I don't think was intentional. It would have been better to create links in both formats that point to the same page and say, "We have corrected the link. Thanks for helping us rectify the problem. Please review the instructions and let us know if there's anything we missed." There's no need to throw yourself on any sword and no need to talk about what people will or won't do that should have been obvious. Correct the problem by ensuring people following the old link or the new link will get to the instructions, and move on.
This was super helpful - thank you! Looking forward to checking out more on your channel, man.
100% accurate review. thanks for sharing
Omg. I’m soooo depressed. I just bought the paperlike. I wish I saw this sooner. I knew it was going to take longer coming from Germany but I didn’t know it would take weeks and that I could get the tech armor for a third of the price and in two days. I feel like an idiot. The pitch on the website really got to me and I wanted to believe it actually felt like paper. Oh man. I feel like a sucker.
Kaidie, it got me too. I was SUPER excited to draw on it, as you see in the video, but yeah, the price doesn't make it anything special. This is exactly why I decided to make this honest review after seeing other "sponsored" ones.
Gaahh. I paid for the extra $16 shipping too which tracks it and I just got an email this morning thanking me for my business and it said it will be shipped within the next 7 business days. I could've ordered multiple sets of the tech armor and the price still wouldn't have been as high. Oh man! You live, you learn. Bottom line: Dont be a sucker, do your research and amazon prime will always be your friend. The funny thing is I watched three videos saying how great it was and I guess I wanted to believe in it so much that I just bypassed the fact that they all said, I just got this in the mail for free.
Thank you so much for this! I was almost sucked into paying the $40+ Canadian for the paperlike. I appreciate your honesty :)
Your review is honest and funny too. I love the way you expressed your honest view of the new product. SUBSCRIBED!
This might be the first honest review I’ve seen of this product. All the others I’ve watched make it seem like coming up with this screen protector this is the equivalent of inventing the wheel.
Yeah, or paid endorsements.
Thanks so much for this review. I was looking for something to make drawing with the apple pencil feel more natural. I picked up the tech armour matte screen protector and it’s been an amazing difference. I have the 9.7” ipad - the new one that works with the apple pencil - and the screen protector for the 9.7” ipad pro fits perfectly.
Do you mean iPad 6th gen? If yes, can you send me the amazon link? Thanks for your help in advance.
I’m so sorry I didn’t see this reply - here’s the link - www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N4WDVKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks - and what a pleasure to watch and listen to - a good communicator with a great review.
THANK YOU for this review. i'm buying the screen protector you use.
One last comment - I didn’t see any mention of your work - you got skills!
Very helpful video. Did a bunch of research on reviews and what you said is very similar to what most reviews say about that expensive paper like cover.
Thank you for the honest review! I have been tempted to get the Paperlike instead of the Tech Armor but was having a hard time swallowing the price difference. Good to know it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Thank you for the honest review. I am currently saving up for the iPad Pro to do artwork, and have been deciding what protective accessories I should get, especially since I've seen drop tests (-_-). Paperlike is recommended by almost all RUclipsrs, and I think that is due to them earning money if we buy from their affiliate link. This is a big problem for all viewers who depend on their reviews. I was also worried about the tips of the iPad pencil wearing down more quickly if I used the Paperlike screen protector. And honestly, I don't think it would improve the quality of the artwork. Many digital artists use Wacom screens without a screen protector and their art isn't hindered by a slip from what I can see. I rarely like videos and because of your actually honest review, you damn well have earned one!
Thanks! Be sure to look through the comments as well, lots of people who have bought it and regretted it. Honestly I was really hoping the product would have been better, but yeah ALL of the positive reviews came from people gifting them. The owner of Paperlike was nice, and had offered to send a sample of an ipad holder they were working on but I declined. I would rather only review products I actually use unprompted so it's as honest as possible.
Thanks for the review! I'm currently using the Tech Armor one. They're a pretty great company and I've been ordering screen protectors from them since my iPhone 3G with no issues.
This is so good.
Thanks for this review! I saved $20 and your recommendation was great.
Glad I could save you some coin!
Thank you for this unbiased review
Thanks for the review. I went with tech armor and I’m very happy with it.
For someone who is NOT a drawer but a calligraphy learner and wanting to purchase the iPad Pro to use procreate and so use my lettering creation with the Cricut machine, I want to add the protector and I’m so glad I found your review! First one I see where the customer bought the product! (I have noticed that the others havent been that convinced with the product either...like hands down this protector is awesome! Kind of thing) I will be looking at tech armour! Cheers!
I like your honestness. Some people on youtube who reviewed the same item, did not do this in my opinion. I'm not suggested that they were being payed for a favorable review, but it smelled fishy. Another thing that I like you are doing with the ipad pro, is making those cartoon stories . Something I am trying to do myself.
Damn. I wish I would have seen this review before I went ahead and bought it. Hopefully, it's actually good but now I'm worried. I usually use screen protectors from Power Support. They're a Japanese company I believe. But they don't have any screens for the new 11" iPad. Great video. Love the honest review.
Was it good?
Thank you for your honest review !! I almost purchased paperlike!
Glad I saved you some cash!
Thanks so much for your review, D.J. In choosing it was between both brands that you comment on and for the price, wowzers, Paperlike has a long way to go in packaging their product. For that price point, they could have done what Amourtech did. I'll be getting Amourtech. I want some resistance but not too much, on the pencil, as too much resistance, over time could lead to muscle injury/repetitive strain. Again, thanks for the review, super appreciate it!
Was thinking of buying today!...
Think I found my answer!
Thanks for the review!
Thank you for your honest review I bought the tech armor one and I am glad as it’s way cheaper and works great.
Glad to hear it's working out for you! Good luck with your work!
Cheers for the honest review, made my decision easier
1. Genuine review
2. I hate matte screenguards as they absorb the true ipad colors
3. Cost doesnt matter to me but delivery time does
4. Packaging is fine but small n low quality wipes arent
I just had a quick question what size is your Ipad Pro I am doing research before purchasing one I, pretty new to apple products and I want to get my daughter one of these looks like the perfect tool to do sketches and I will be ordering her the Tech Armor screen cover. Great Review by the way.
I have the large iPad Pro 12.9.
You’re a life saver!
I ordered mine about two weeks ago. I ordered from Aliexpress and the price was 9$ and people love it for real. I really hope I didn’t do a mistake.
Been using the screen protecter for a few months now. It's good, I like it. It gives of a nice "scratchy noise", and feels really tactile. That said, the packaging was really cheap, and it was a bit embarrassing even.
The bad thing is that the protector is really easy to scratch. Get a few crumbs in (crumbs get stuck on the cover sometimes from the kitchen table) and BAM, scratched. How dry bredcrumbs can be harder than a piece of plastic I will never know.
Something else worth noting I've yet to see anyone bring up is that there's a slight "rainbow" effect on the screen protector. it's not bad, but if the screen is completely white, you will notice a weird effect on the entire screen.
Knowing what I know now I would deffo go for another screen protector. I really like the resistance, but yeah.. It's overpriced and does not really feel that special in hindsight.
Thanks for the review! Purchasing tech armor right now.
Destiny Mitchell let me know how the Tech armor worked out for you.
I have an iPad Pro 10.5 new and unopened. I'm planing to purchase a screen protector soon, but I have a question to ask. Will there be a difference in color on the display comparing to an iPad without a screen protector? This is something that came to my mind while looking at different screen protector brands. Please respond, if you know anything about this?
Just saw this, ordered them last week. Guess I'll see how it goes and if indeed it doesn't feel good I'll try the tech armour.
This was really useful for me too. Thanks!
I know these screen protectors are a massive help for digital art but I’m not sure how this SP affects the iPad outside of using it creatively. I’m only 18 so I use it for art but because it is my family’s iPad my dad and brother use it for Netflix etc. Does the grain impact the user experience outside of art?
I just bought a pack of these and I honestly think they're brilliant. Feels much better than my old protector and gives some tooth to the Apple pencil. You even get a pencil like sound when drawing on it.
Hi
Really enjoyed your review. I watched it through even though I was searching for an answer to a question about paper 'like' screens, in general. Maybe you could help me, anway. I recently fitted a tempered glass protector to my ipad, not realising, paper like protectors were available. Can I fit one on top of the tempered glass or will that not work?
Thank you so so much for the detailed and no none sense review and comparison. While I'm no where near as talented as you I will like to draw and doodle. This decided it for me. Again thanks
I’ve heard other people have had the same problem with the creases on the protector good I was going to go out and get one so I will find something different
Oh my goodness. I am so glad I stumbled on this review before shedding $35 for paperlike.. I am looking for a good protector for my calligraphy use on my iPad. Thank you!!
This was so helpful, thank you!
Thank you finally honest review
That's what I've been thinking about, it's just a marketing gimmick that makes you wanna spend 35 bucks for matte screen which obviously you can have it for less than 10 bucks or even less. Marketing is psychology things tbh. I've got laptop with matte display, when i try with my apple pencil, yeah it does make a different but not something like papers. So, i think the cheap matte screen would be fined as long as it can draw with the apple pencil. Great video to show people which product that really has the technology or just the one that relies on people's psychology.
Great review, I also use the cheap tech armor... like it, but thought buying the paper like screen protector, thinking it might be better... I just saved money !!! Thanks
how do u feel about tech armor is it how he says
Super helpful review. I could not believe the cheapo little cleaning pads they gave you. Also, the lack of a working web page to describe the installation process is unforgivable, especially these days. For most of us, putting on a screen protector can be a bit daunting, especially lining it up properly and getting all the bubble out, and PaperLike should have had the proper procedure available on a web page. Great video review from you! Thanks again!!!
Thanks for this really gave me the right prospective I was looking for. At my local mall we have a ghost armor booth that put my mat screen on for me.
Definitely going for the Tech-Armor thanks m8
Errrr I bought one but it was not with a mat finish....just a smooth glossy protector!
Pauluz de Boskabouter you have to choose the “non-glare” cover which is matte finish
Have you tried the Elecom Paper like? heard its the best when it comes to paper like feel.
This was awesomely helpful, thank you - like others, I too was contemplating Paperlike vs. Tech Armour. Off to Amazon to get me the Tech Armour. Thanks so much for sharing your views!
Hey, I just invested in an iPad Pro for my art and I'm so excited for it to arrive. I've gotten a generic cheap matte protector but I want to invest in a legit one next pay-day. Was wondering if you could help me out with some questions.
Is it possible you could comment on the differences between the two brands experience specifically - all I could pick up is that you thought paper-like was more rough? (which is a good thing right?...but you make it sound bad) You don't mention the moire (rainbow effect) on the pixels with either of them? Why specifically did you miss the old screen protector and go back, you didn't really mention the actual reason. Thanks! :) Just trying to see which one is best for me. Also have you heard of ELECOM screen protectors? It's apparently really good. I was wondering if that was one that you tried since you mention you tried quite a few! :)
TIA!
i wish we could develop something with all the included installment items a very nice package like the ones the ipad pro magnetic covers have with the see-through plastic would be nice for the packaging and actually have a ipad mold so you can place the ipad in the packaging and have the packaging become a tool to install the screen and it would be nice to have 3 screens 1 at 300 grit another at 200 grit 100 grit? and then add big enough screen wipes and cloths and finally a good instruction pamphlet or video. maybe we can name it the "Coffman Paper Screens"
I'm glad I watched this. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Now I know which one!
When you pulled out that microscopic cleaning cloth that killed it for me, they over charge and cheap out on necessary accessories. Too bad they come up on top on Google and Amazon searches. I'm going with Tech Armor, think that Tech Armor should know what a great job your doing for their company. Everyone should contact them and let them know, maybe they'll send you a new iPad Pro with a lifetime supply of Tech Armor.
Thanks for your review, you just made a lot people happy.
I have an iPad pro 11 and was wondering whether the TechArmor damages the Pencil 2 nib? Also, have you tried Elecom's screen protector? Appreciate your review, straight forward, not sponsored and honest... with a smile too :)
I want this stuff for drawing/art work... and now they have newer stuff...
...I ended Up getting "HD Clear" for iPad Pro 11 (2018)... Is this what you guys would recommend?..
... and even if there's better stuff... is this good for drawing in your opinion?..
I realize that if you invest into a matte screen protector it primarily benefits people using their devices for writing and sketching. However, I would like to know how much it would impact photos for photo editing? I would imagine based on all the reviews I’ve watched quite a bit as no one has really done that test to show the color impact on photo editing which is primarily what I would be doing. Though I would love the matte feel on my device.
As you might see, I do full color comics on mine, many with special effect brushes. There is just a very very slight difference from screen to screen. But you also have this on just about any device to monitor these days. Nothing is ever going to fully match unless it's identical screens. The cool thing is, Tech Armor are only 9.99, so you can try it and if you hate it, you haven't spent much at all to find this out. Go experiment, nothing is permanent and the covers come right off :)
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the feedback. Will give it a go. 😊
Paperlike does improve the Apple Pencil feel but I took mine off after realising that I can’t do photo editing due to the screen protector dulling the colours and sharpness on my iPad Pro screen..
i'm also a packaging nerd & just another person who just saved $20 bucks thanks to your review.
Saved me 20 $. Thanks for caring more about us than your own money that you could make off of a sponsored video!!
Can I get a cheap one and crop to fit it on my Samsung note 8
Yeah if you have sharp scissors or an exacto knife you could cut out whatever shape you wanted
Thank you. Saving some money for the pen :)
Hi D.J. Thanks for the honest review and I’m sorry you didn’t appreciate our minimal packaging. We haven’t focused our attention on retail, which is why we haven’t got a fancy packaging yet. We also don’t ship a squeegee, as it would land in the garbage right away and everyone has a credit card or plastic card in hand.
The video is available in bit.ly/PaperOn - I gues I wasn’t experienced enough to know that people will not type CamelCase correctly and simply write in lower case. Which is what regretfully happens too often to be honest. Big lesson, we’ve printed the new instruction sheet with a new lower-case link.
I’m actually very surprised you don’t feel the difference between the Tech Armor and the PaperLike. In my tests it was rubbery and not “rough”. I suppose that doesn’t make a difference to you.
About the absurdly small wet-dry wipes: That’s not the cheapest in the market, but it’s the only available wet-dry set available. We’ve actually ditched that by now and we’ll soon be shipping the PaperLike with a bigger - more tablet-worthy wet wipe.
Even though you’re not convinced of the PaperLike’s value, I really enjoyed your video and could have a good laugh when you got to the wet-wipe part. The PaperLike has been a game changer for the majority of our users (see the reviews paperlike.com/products/paperlike-for-ipad-12-9-inch ) and there is more to come. I hope you subscribed to our newsletter.
A question: In the video you show your iPad “circling”. It looks like it’s standing on something in the middle. What is that?
Jan Sapper I can understand the minimal packaging, but that should decrease the cost possibly making the price more competitive for what this is. Basically, and no offense intended here, but honestly there is nothing special about this compared to other non-glare matte finish covers on the market like the TechArmor. Maybe we’re onto something though, as a working professional, I literally drew on the Paperlike for over 40 hours in a week, very detailed pieces, coloring, linework as sketching. Maybe with more use the oils from the hand make both of these feel about the same. My hand doesn’t usually get oily I have dryer skin and don’t need to wear gloves with my Cintiqs.
The Spin is from the “SpinPad Grip” I use on the back. It’s currently out of stock on Amazon but here’s the link www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015NOI7MA/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 and you can see videos about it on RUclips. It’s generally the best stand/grip for many digital Artists. I was referred to it by Rob Sketcherman who travels the globe doing live urban sketching on his for Apple and other official brands.
When you get another version of PaperLike or go into 2.0 mode, I’ll try it out. Or possibly with the new new iPads coming this year.
No prob, thanks!
Lower the price if you can and you will probably sell a lot more and make up the difference. I find it hard to believe it costs that much more to produce a screen protector with more tooth or texture, but that's just a guess on my part. I went with one on Amazon at about a third of the cost. I bought a tempered glass matte screen protector for my iPhone that has a lifetime warranty for $8.
I didnt want to answer to your post but i just couldnt let it go. You sell your item for tripule the price of the competition, your packaging is nome existant Wich will cause eventual problem in delivery, your "extra items" are basicly a joke. While the product itself night be good quality , which im not questioning but overall it is definetly not worth tripule the price of the competition. The simple fact that you took the time to coment. that in this video shows that my opinion is correct. Ps: i can see the arrogance in the way you responded , it doesnt look good.
MoonboyPlays
1) triple*
2) Arrogance? The dude kept apologizing, admitting his mistake, and decided to change the wipes that the video complained about. This makes me ask again, what arrogance?
It's funny how one not so positive (non sponsered video) will mess with their sales. Usually I wouldn't let one negative review sway me but combining that with the high price tag and long shipping times settled it for me. I'm going with the tech amor.
I would happily pay a little more than the cheaper tech amor (maybe $15-20). But the product would need to be on Amazon prime at least. It's 2018, people are not willing to wait weeks for a product.
Thank you! Nice video. I actually "had to" buy the iPad when entering university (its mandatory because all IT systems are designed for the use of tablets, but therefore the basic iPad version is free for students). And since I got a iPad pro and like to draw... i considered trying out some digital art.
To me, it seems a bit "hard" to switch between layers, etc. Is there a possibility to connect a keyboard to the tablet and swap layers, colors, tools with the keyboard?
And since you are in that comic area, that is exactly what I intend to do with my tablet. Maybe a few recommendations on set up, additional tools, apps, etc. ?
I will watch a few more videos of you now ;-)
But damnit!! I want more information: on a scale of 1-5 where do the tech armour and paperlike sit in roughness??
I’ve been using the tech armour the whole time I’ve owned an iPad, and although I like it I find it fucks with the resolution quite a bit and wondered if my eye sight was getting worse due to it? It is as though my eyes just figure there’s no point in fully focusing as it’ll never be really clear. That’s been my main gripe with Techarmour.
So I want a direct comparison between the two in terms of resolution impact. (And the wee rainbow effect)
I understand that some degradation is simply the nature of a matte cover but can anyone shed some details between the two?
The issue you're talking about is probably about the same. Maybe I just got used to it :) - As far as roughness? Like I said the Tech Armor feels more like a toothy vellum but yet smooth with the stroke too. Paperlike felt like it would wear down the nibs (as others in the comments have said here.) - All in all, this review still stands, the Paperlike is WAY overpriced for the value it brings. TechArmor or the iCarez non-glare screens are much better.
The cleaning pads.. 😂
How long did it take until you get the package?
I take notes and some casual sketching, tech-armor / superShild or any matt screen protector will do the trick,
True that. This is specifically for cartoonists and artists who plan on spending many many hours on screen
Thank you D.J. Coffman for your review! Propably I just saved money! Is the feeling good on Tech-Armor while you draw? Any problem?
I've been looking at the Moshi iVisor AG for a bit - a removable matte screen protector - but couldn't find any reviews relating to how it feels to draw on (or any videos within the last 6 years). Would be cool to see that reviewed.
Yeah,I would love to know about it
As a professional illustrator I agree with you that PaperLike is insanely overpriced. I don’t get people who are willing to throw their well earned money at this product, while one can have the same results with the cheaper ones. I’m using TR-Trade 3x for €11, does the trick for me.
great review make me save some money. I want to know where did you get you Apple Pencil cap look nice
Great people like you, save people like, me from getting ripped off, from people like them.
Can you review Elecom Paper-Feel Film?
Question, have u tried wireless charging the new pencil on a wireless phone charger? No one has mentioned it just for kicks. Also, how is video quality affected by those covers?
How's the "grainyness" when viewing videos or doing other things on the iPad when one of these is installed?
Finally! Honest review!
Is it easy to remove a screen protector? Do they noticeably change the clarity of the screen?
Oh yes, it comes right off with no adhesive left behind. Also I don't notice much of a difference of clarity, and its easy to adjust to. Good luck!
