How to use Paperlike's Cleaning Kit

Congratulations on your new Paperlike Cleaning Kit, probably the best way to clean your Paperlike and other displays.

The cloth is super wet. What now?

Leave it outside its hull for a few minutes to dry the cloth. We made a fluid that evaporates very quickly, so it shouldn't take long at all.

How to clean surfaces.

Take the inner Cleaning Kit out of the milky white hull. Point the Kit with the fluid opening towards the surface you want to clean. Press the pump-spray head to release a dose of misty cleaning fluid. Now turn the Cleaning Kit at a 90° angle and use the cloth surface to distribute the fluid evenly over the surface. Be firm but don't press too hard. Lastly, turn the Kit to use one side that is not wet to clean up excess liquid. Your screen should look brand-new; well done.

The wrong way to put the Cleaning Kit back together.

If you put the Cleaning Kit back into its hull face-first, with the spray opening downwards, you did it wrong. In rare cases, if there's pressure on top (carrying a tote bag with 34 items in it?), it could release fluid. For obvious reasons, you don't want that. Please make sure to keep the opening on the top so the pressure release is safe.

The cloth is dirty. How do I clean it?

To wash the cloth, soak it in warm water with mild detergent for 30 minutes and let it air dry. Do not iron.

How to use Paperlike's Pencil Grips

Congratulations on your new Paperlike Pencil Grips, the best way to increase comfort or precision while using your Apple Pencil. Using it is not rocket science, but there are a few things you might want to know.

What's the difference between the Precision and Comfort grips?

The Comfort grip is designed for long sessions with your Apple Pencil. The Comfort grip's size is thicker, maximizing your comfort as the name suggests. The smaller Precision grip, while still comfortable, is perfect for improved control when you're trying to create detailed drawings or take notes in small spaces.

Is it possible to order only 1 pencil grip?

No. The reasoning behind the decision to sell our grips as a 2-pack was to provide you with the best experience for both precision and comfort. We didn't want to compromise one or the other with a single pencil grip. Regardless of your use case, there will be times you want increased control or maximum comfort. That's why we sell both, so that you're prepared for every situation when using your Apple Pencil.

How do I put the pencil grips on my Apple Pencil?

The Paperlike Pencil Grips are designed to work with both the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple Pencils. After you've removed the pencil grips from their packing, simply slide the grip you want to use over the tip-side of the Apple Pencil. The bump on the grip should face the tip-side of the Apple Pencil. Push the grip from the end until it is in position. That's it!

How do I clean my pencil grips?

Cleaning your Paperlike Pencil Grips is easy. Remove the grips from your Apple Pencil and simply use regular soap and hot water and rub gently to remove any oil or grime. Leave to dry before putting the grips back onto your Apple Pencil. Note: after intense or prolonged use, it is normal for silicone products to change color slightly.
