What our customers say
“A better writing experience on your iPad.”
“Suddenly I can draw straight lines.”
“My Apple Pencil writes super smoothly on this.”
Expert opinions
Tim Ferriss
“ This makes using a stylus (e.g., Apple Pencil) on your iPad more like writing on paper. It provides more control and helps to prevent oversliding.”
Wired Magazine
“There's something about drawing on iPads that still doesn't feel as nice—or natural—as putting pencil to paper. The Paperlike changes that. This screen cover goes over your iPad's screen to mimic the texture and friction of sketching on paper.”
appleinsider
“Paperlike gives your screen a little bit of tooth, similar to a sheet of paper. That extra friction means you won't hold your Apple Pencil in a death grip. No death grip means you're less likely to get hand cramps.”
How the Paperlike works
Nanodots ®: Unique in screen protectors
The Paperlike is surprisingly high-tech for a screen protector. Eight years ago, when we developed the first Paperlike, there was no product like it on the market.
Since then, we’ve invested over $150,000 into R&D to perfect our iconic paper-feel.
At the core of our technology are the Nanodots® — tiny micro-beads embedded in the surface of the Paperlike that provide the same haptic feedback as the natural drag and resistance of sketchbook paper.

Of course, they also protect your screen from scuffs and scratches, as every screen protector should.
To ensure they meet the highest quality standards, we manufacture with a leading films and foils company in Switzerland.
This unique technology makes it possible to achieve a realistic paper feel without suffering from the same drawbacks as other screen protectors in our category.

Paperlike
Knock-off paper-feel foils
Magnetic foils
Slippery like… glass
Modeled after high-quality Japanese paper
Rough like sandpaper
From slippery to rough like sandpaper
Perfect clarity and colors
Great display quality with almost no refractions
Blurry with lots of refractions (rainbow effect)
Milky because of the distance to the display. Also traps dust between display and foil
Seldom replacements
Plays nice with tips, seldom replacements necessary
Destroys pencil tip in no time
No abrasion if too slippery, destroys tip if too rough
Perfect
Thinner than Apple's criteria! Perfect responsiveness
The thick foil makes the pencil unresponsive and gives diagonal lines a staircase effect
Way too thick, even worse than the Chinese knock-offs
None
Protects screen and is scratch-resistant
Protects screen but scratches easily
Good against scratches but might slip off

Why are there two Paperlikes in the package?
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.
Does Paperlike really feel like paper?
Most of our customers think so!
A few have told us that, while the screen protector doesn’t feel exactly like paper to them, it correctly emulates that responsiveness of paper while writing and drawing.
Is Paperlike made of glass or plastic?
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.
Can I use Paperlike on top of my glass screen protector?
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.
Does Paperlike cause wear and tear on my 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.
