• 2× Paperlike™ 3 Screen Protectors with the new Butterfly™ Application.
• 2× Wet Wipes to prepare your iPad before installation.
• 1× Helper™ Multi-tool for perfect alignment, cleaning, and guidance.
• Access to the Interactive Install Guide.
• Free access to exclusive digital products.

The Butterfly™ Application is Paperlike’s new, smarter way to install your Screen Protector.

You’ll get a dust-catching foil that covers your entire screen, a peel-off method that creates a mini ‘clean room’ around your iPad, the Helper™ Tool for perfect alignment, and an interactive on-screen guide. Together, these tools wipe out the three biggest headaches — bubbles, misalignment, and bad instructions — so your install is smooth, stress-free, and pro-level.

Absolutely. Installing a screen protector used to mean sweaty palms and a prayer. The Butterfly™ Application changes all that. With clear, step-by-step instructions right on your iPad, the Helper™ Tool to lock in perfect alignment, and a full-surface dust-catching layer that stops bubbles before they even show up — the stress is gone. And just in case something still goes sideways, every pack includes two Paperlikes™ and our satisfaction guarantee to back you up.

Scan the QR code on the Accessories Sheet (the one that held the Wet Wipes and Helper™ Tool) with your iPad. The interactive guide will open right on your screen and walk you through the installation step by step, at your own pace.

There are two types of bubbles: air and dust — and they’re easy to tell apart:

• Air bubbles look clear, like a pocket of air. They can change shape or move slightly when you press on them. Use the Helper™ Tool to push them to the edge, or just leave them — small ones usually disappear within 24–48 hours.
• Dust bubbles have a tiny speck or dot in the centre, almost like a grain under the film. They won’t move or fade when pressed. In that case, apply the second Paperlike™ we included as backup. If it still doesn’t work, contact us — our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee ensures you’ll end up with a bubble-free screen.

If one of the numbered pull-tabs (the little flaps you use to slide and peel the foils during installation) breaks, don’t worry. You can let us know using the post-installation form at the end of the Interactive Guide, and our support team will send you a new Paperlike™.

If your first Paperlike™ ends up slightly misaligned, don’t worry. Every pack includes a second Paperlike™ for another try. The troubleshooting sequence at the end of the Interactive Guide will guide you to get the right alignment on your second go.

If you’ve already used both protectors and still need help, contact our support team — we’ll make sure you end up with a properly aligned screen.

Paperlike™ 3 isn’t designed for repeated reapplications. You can lift and adjust during the alignment phase of installation, but once it’s fully applied, it won’t re-adhere properly. Each pack includes a spare so you can apply a fresh one if needed.

Yes, very likely. Paperlike™ 3 is available for all current iPad models. Not sure which iPad you own? Go to Settings > General > About on your iPad to check your model name.

No. Paperlike™ 3 works perfectly with your Apple Pencil. Input stays responsive and precise, so every stroke lands exactly where you expect.

All textured surfaces cause some wear — that’s physics. But Paperlike™ 3 is optimized to minimize it. On average, our customers replace their Apple Pencil tips every six months. For even more durability, check out our Pencil Tips — built for 10× longevity and a tad more friction.

Yes. The PET base and optical silicon adhesive add a protective layer that helps guard against scuffs and everyday scratches from Pencil use and daily handling.

Yes. At under 0.095 mm thin, Paperlike™ 3 works perfectly with Apple accessories like the Smart Keyboard, Magic Keyboard, or your favorite case. And if you want protection that feels like a premium hardcover notebook, check out our own Paperlike™ Cases — built with the same no-compromise approach as Paperlike™ 3.

No. Face ID and Touch ID aren’t covered, hover works just like it should on supported iPads, and Pencil gestures (double-tap, squeeze, barrel roll on Pencil Pro) all function normally.

Paperlike™ 3 is ultra-thin — under 0.095 mm, which is thinner than a human hair — and fully within Apple’s Accessory Design Guidelines. That means no lag and perfect Pencil response.

Cleaning your Paperlike™ is simple. The Helper™ Tool included in your pack has a microfiber side made for cleaning the screen. Dampen it slightly with water to wipe away smudges, or use any soft microfiber cloth.

For the best results and to keep your Paperlike™ performing longer, our Cleaning Kit is the recommended option.

Absolutely. Paperlike™ 3 can be safely removed at any time without leaving residue or harming your iPad’s screen.

You could stack Paperlike™ on another screen protector… but that’s like wearing two pairs of socks. It works, kind of, but you lose the feel. Paperlike™ 3 is made super thin on purpose, so your Pencil tip stays close to the screen — giving you maximum responsiveness and precision. One Paperlike™ on your iPad is all you need to protect your display from scratches and keep your Apple Pencil working seamlessly.

Paperlike™ 3 features the brand-new Butterfly Application™ for easier, stress-free installation, and a refined Nanodots™ surface for the most natural paper-feel yet.

Paperlike’s proprietary Nanodots® are tiny microbeads engineered to add resistance and improve haptic feedback when using the Apple Pencil on your iPad, emulating the feeling of writing on paper. Apple's nano-texture display, on the other hand, is a new feature on iPad Pros (M4) that reduces screen glare but does not provide haptic feedback for the Apple Pencil. So, if you want to replicate the paper-feel and enhance your Apple Pencil experience, Paperlike™ is the way to go. To understand more about nano-texture and compatibility with Paperlike™, check out our latest blog post here.

Yes, with a 100-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy with your Paperlike™ for any reason, just email us within 100 days of purchase, and we’ll refund you in full.

Be sure to watch our installation video below before applying or follow our Step-by-step guide here!

Applying Paperlike’s Screen Protector to a 2024 iPad Air or Pro is almost identical to the application process for legacy models. Watch this overview to make certain you get the set-up right.

While we have heard from happy customers that placing the Paperlike on top of a glass screen protector can work, we don’t recommend using the Paperlike in this way.

To maintain responsiveness during tap/touch interactions, screen protectors are typically engineered to a precise level of thickness based on the materials used.
By placing your Paperlike on top of another screen protector, you may see reduced responsiveness when touching your screen or working with your Apple Pencil.

Minimally, yes.

Here’s what we mean: The added resistance that Paperlike creates will generate a small amount of friction between your Apple Pencil tip and your screen. This will result in minor wear over time and use.

However, this is also true for any other paper-feel screen protector on the market.

We’ve invested heavily in creating a quality product that minimizes this downside, so wear and tear should be negligible even over an extended period of time.

If you’re worried about your Apple Pencil tip, keep in mind that tips are also replaceable as a 4-pack through the Apple Store online.

Every Paperlike ships with two separate screen protectors so that you’ll have a spare if the first application doesn’t go according to plan.

Protip: Be sure to watch our installation video before applying!

If you apply the model correctly, you’ll have a spare! Give it to a friend or keep it as a backup in case you need to replace your iPad due to malfunction or damage.

Paperlike is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is 100% recyclable and won’t harm the environment.

The envelopes and shipping materials are also recyclable, including the container envelopes and the protective plastics designed to protect the screen protector during transit.

Paperlike comes in all shapes and sizes to fit various iPad generations. Check out this size chart below to find the perfect fit for your iPad.

Yes! The Paperlike Screen Protector is compatible with all iPad generations and sizes, including the 2024 iPad models (Air and Pro) and their landscape-facing cameras. The Screen Protector also supports all functions of the Apple Pencil Pro and previous generations.

That’s because you have the protective foil on your Screen Protector (don’t worry - it’s an easy mistake to make). To fix it, simply peel off any sticker from your application accessories pack, place it on the corner of your Paperlike, and slowly peel it off, making sure the Paperlike stays on. Paperlike’s founder Jan shows you how in the step-by-step video below. Still have issues? Reach out to our support team who will be happy to help.

Get Paperlike's NEW Pencil Grips here

Our Pencil Grips are only sold as a set of two. The set comes with two different colors, allowing you to switch them out based on your vibe for the day.

We found that users who purchased our original Pencil Grips (1st Generation) would often prefer one grip over the other, and other style would go to waste.

We took our customer’s feedback into account and made these changes to our Pencil Grips:

• A redesigned body that combines the benefits of the Maximum Comfort and Maximum Precision Grips.
• Instead of receiving two different styles of grips in one color, you’ll receive two different colors of the same amazing grip: Charcoal and Paperlike Blue.
• Unlike the original Pencil Grips, the latest design is 100% compatible with all Apple Pencil features (magnetic charging, Double Tap Gesture, etc.).

Paperlike’s Pencil Grips are designed to work with all Apple Pencil models. After you've removed the Pencil Grips from their packaging, simply slide the color 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!

Cleaning your 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.

Yes, the Paperlike Pencil Grips (2nd Generation) were designed for perfect compatibility with all Apple Pencil generations, including the newest Apple Pencil Pro. The Pencil Grips fit snugly to the Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil Pro without hindering any product functionality, including the Double Tap gesture, magnetic attachment, all types of charging (magnetic, cable, and direct), and the Squeeze, Barrel Roll and Haptic Feedback (Apple Pencil Pro features).

The Apple Pencil has many cool features, and Paperlike’s Pencil Grips allow you to use all of them!

• Magnetic charging/attachment - You can still take advantage of magnetic attachment and charging on the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and charging while using the Lightning connector on the Apple Pencil (1st generation) with your Pencil Grip attached.
• Double Tap Feature - The Apple Pencil allows you to double-tap to quickly switch between tools. With Paperlike’s Pencil Grips, you can still tap anywhere on your Apple Pencil to use this feature.

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.

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!

Make your iPad feel like your favourite notebook.

To clean the Folio Case use a wet cloth with lukewarm water or wet wipes.

Yes. The Folio Case won’t interfere with any of the buttons.

Yes. The iPad will automatically be put to sleep when the Folio Case is closed.😴

No, but the Folio Case enables the Apple Pencil to adhere magnetically to the side of iPad in its native charging position. The oversized flap also secures the stylus while the Folio Case is closed, helping to prevent your Apple Pencil from becoming detached during transit.

The flap of the Folio Case is lined with magnets inside and wraps around the iPad, which keep it closed.

The Folio Case offers two separate angles or modes:

1. Watching mode props the iPad upright at a steep angle that is ideal for viewing content.
2. Writing / drawing mode sets the iPad at a shallow angle and is ideal when using your device in a productive fashion.

You can easily swap between these angles by adjusting the Folio Case.

The Folio Case is made of polyurethane (PU) fabric and microfiber.

We created the Folio Case in a variety of sizes for compatibility with different iPad generations. Please check the size chart below to find your perfect fit.

View Size Chart

You can attach and detach the case in less than two seconds.
The Folio Case takes advantage of the iPad’s backside magnets for fast and easy installation and detachment.

To attach the Folio Case, simply open the front flap of the unit and place the back of the iPad against the back flap. The iPad will attach to the case magnetically.

To detach, grab the iPad by its edge while the front flap is open and the iPad is positioned on a flat surface. Your iPad will lift free while the Folio Case stays behind.

Here's a short how-to video to help get you started to get the best out of your product (including how to refill!).

The latest version of the Cleaning Kit offers four major improvements:

• The product is thinner for added portability.
• The spray bottle fits both ways into the hardshell casing for easier reassembly.
• The spray head generates a smoother and more consistent stream when depressed.
• The container can be refilled using refill pellets (provided) and water.

The Cleaning Kit will arrive prefilled, so you can start cleaning immediately. Simply take the spray bottle out of the hardshell casing, spray 1-2 times (depending on the size of your device), and use the microfiber-lined bottle to wipe down your screen.

The new and improved Cleaning Kit comes with five refill pellets. Between the initial solution in the spray bottle and these refills, this Cleaning Kit provides enough solution to clean your iPad over 500 times! If you clean your screen once a week, you’ll have enough solution to last up to 10 years.

The microfiber lining absorbs the oils and dirt on your screen during use. To clean it, rinse the cloth with clean water (tap or bottled) and let it air dry.

Yes! We use an alcohol-free formula for our cleaning solution formulated to remove dust, grime, and fingerprints that’s safe for any electronic device.

Let our founder, Jan, show you exactly how to refill your cleaning kit in the video below.

For complete how-to instructions from start to finish, watch the how-to video above.

Currently, we don’t offer refill pellets as a standalone product. The five included pellets are designed to last the average user around 10 years. Be sure to store them in a safe location.

Our Cleaning Kit contains the following ingredients:

• Sodium hydrogen carbonate.
• Fumaric acid.
• Magnesium sulfate.
• Poly (ethylene glycol).
• Sodium dodecyl sulfate.

When used as recommended, our solution is safe and easy to use.

However, keep in mind that the Cleaning Kit solution is not safe for consumption by humans or animals. While stable as a pellet, the solution will dissolve when in contact with water.

• If consumed: Clean mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting.
• If exposed to eyes (powder or liquid): Rinse thoroughly with water.

Take the inner Cleaning Kitout 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.

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.

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.

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

Our glove is made with a blend of breathable, high-quality fabrics that ensure a comfortable fit and maximum durability. The interior layer contains spandex and polyester, while the outer layer is made from 100% polyester that cleans your screen as your hand glides across the display.

Does anyone have time to handwash these days? Didn’t think so. Our Drawing Glove is washer/dryer compatible. Machine wash at 60 degrees Celcius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) and machine dry.

Yes! All of our products are designed with the iPad in mind, however Paperlike’s Drawing Glove works with all tablets, as well as our screen protectors. The polyester contact layer eliminates palm detection on capacitive touchscreens, allowing you to draw or write for longer – and with fewer interruptions.

The Drawing Glove prevents skin oil build up by acting as a barrier between palm and screen. Not only that, the microfiber outer layer actively cleans your screen while your hand glides across the display. Fun fact: the contact layer is made from the same fabric as a dry wipe. This one is just attached to your hand.

Paperlike’s Drawing Glove offers a unisex design that fits on either hand. It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Our easy-to-use sizing chart means your Drawing Glove fits like a…well, glove. If you’re not convinced by the fit, contact our support team within 30-days of your purchase.

The Good Wilhelm Sleeve comes in two sizes to fit the iPad Pro: 12.9-inch and 11-inch. The 11-inch sleeve will also fit the 10-inch models of the iPad Air and the standard iPad.

Although designed for Apple products, the Good Wilhelm x Paperlike Sleeve will work with tablets (or MacBooks) of similar and smaller sizes. Keep your productivity tools safe and secure, no matter which brand you prefer.

The main pocket is large enough to fit your iPad with a case (like our Folio Case) and the Magic Keyboard and has a merino wool lining to protect your device. It also includes an Apple Pencil holder that perfectly fits your stylus with our Pencil Grip attached.

The accessories pocket also provides enough storage space for chargers, cables, connectors, and an additional battery pack.

Yes. The Good Wilhelm x Paperlike iPad Sleeve is created from 100% sustainably sourced and recyclable materials. From the vegetable-based leather (made from MIRUM®) to the merino wool interior lining, enjoy an environmentally friendly product that will last for years.

The Good Wilhelm x Paperlike iPad Sleeve was designed to ensure a snug fit for your devices. Its smooth exterior allows it to slide into and out of backpacks, briefcases, and other bags with minimal resistance.

However, you’ll want to avoid rough handling. Applied pressure against rough surfaces like concrete or cement can cause the leather to scuff, scrape, and degrade.

To clean your sleeve, you can wipe the exterior with a moist cloth.

Yes! The plant-based resin used in the vegetable-based leather (made from MIRUM®) not only enhances durability but also contributes to the sleeve's water resistance, ensuring an extra layer of protection for your iPad and accessories.

Choose tools that last — Tips built to stay sharp 10× longer.

Every pack of Paperlike™ Pencil Tips includes 4 tips — so you’ll always have backups ready when it’s time to swap.

Yes. Paperlike™ Pencil Tips are compatible with all generations of Apple Pencil and even the Logitech Crayon. Just screw one on and you’re set.

It’s simple: just unscrew your current Apple Pencil tip and screw on a Paperlike™ Pencil Tip until it’s snug. No tools, no fuss. Don’t over-tighten — a gentle twist is all you need. Once it’s on, you’re ready to create.

Yes — but only when paired with a textured surface. On Paperlike’s Screen Protector, nano-texture iPads, or other matte protectors, the Pencil Tips add a touch more resistance for that familiar pencil-on-paper feel. They don’t replace our Screen Protector; they complement it, giving you an immediate tactile boost for all your creative projects. On a bare iPad screen, they’ll still work perfectly, but you won’t get an increased friction.

Absolutely. On a bare iPad screen, they’ll still work perfectly and also last up to 10× longer than Apple’s standard tips. The added paper-feel only comes into play on a textured surface, like the Paperlike™ Screen Protector.

No. Paperlike™ Pencil Tips are safe to use on all iPad screens — with or without a screen protector. They won’t scratch your iPad.

Change your Pencil Tip when the writing feels less smooth, the tip looks visibly worn, or your Apple Pencil starts slipping more than usual. How long this takes depends on how much you use your Pencil, but independent tests show Paperlike™ Pencil Tips last up to TEN TIMES longer than Apple’s standard tips.

It depends on how much you draw or write, but most users find they last for months of daily use. They’re engineered to last up to 10× longer than Apple’s standard tips — meaning fewer replacements and more money saved. And because they hold their shape longer, you’ll enjoy precise strokes and consistent performance for longer.
