Paperlike™ 3 — Same feel. Smarter install.

Meet the Butterfly™ Application (patent pending) — our smarter, stress-free way to install Paperlike™ 3.

Your iPad becomes the guide, walking you through each step at your own pace. The Helper Tool makes alignment a no-brainer, while the innovative dust-catching foil creates a Clean Room Effect. No dust. No bubbles. Just the same paper-feel that artists and notetakers have loved for years.

Paperlike™ 3 whats new

Paperlike™ 3. What's new?

Natural paper-feel with Nanodots™.

With Paperlike™ 3, your iPad feels like writing or sketching on high-quality Japanese paper.

Our refined Nanodots technology creates the perfect balance of friction and glide, giving you precision for drawing, control for neat handwriting, and the best of both worlds: the joy of paper with the power of digital.

Your handwriting — finally under control.

On the iPad’s glass, the Apple Pencil slips around like a three-year-old on ice. Notes turn messy and hard to decipher.

With Paperlike™ 3, you get back control so your handwriting looks like yours — hopefully neat and legible, just like on paper.

Draw like on your favorite sketchbook.

With Paperlike™ 3, every stroke feels deliberate and controlled.

The Nanodots surface adds just the right resistance, giving you precision for fine details and consistency for bold lines.

It’s the closest you’ll get to sketching on paper — with all the advantages of your iPad.

Write and draw for hours without cramps.

On glass, the Apple Pencil slips so easily that you grip harder to stay in control — and end up with sore hands.

Paperlike™ 3 adds natural friction, so your Pencil glides with balance and grip. The result: relaxed hands, steady strokes, and long sessions without the strain.

And if you want even more comfort, pair it with our Pencil Grips — designed to give you extra hold and keep cramps at bay.

Butterfly™ Application — perfect install, zero stress.

Applying a large screen protector can be tricky — dust, bubbles, and misalignment always get in the way.

That’s why we spent 3 years rethinking the process from the ground up. The result is the Butterfly Application: a smarter system that gives you perfect alignment, zero bubbles, and zero stress.

Perfect alignment made simple.

A misaligned screen protector nags at you every time you use your iPad — uneven edges, cases pushing against it, never quite right.

Enter the Helper™ Tool. We invested 12 months perfecting its design (and about 5 minutes naming it). Snap it onto the edge of your iPad, slide the screen protector into place, and enjoy alignment that’s straight, seamless, and satisfying.

Bubble-free with the Clean Room Effect.

Most permanent bubbles come from tiny dust specks — almost impossible to avoid unless you live on the ISS.

That’s why Paperlike™ 3 brings the clean room to you. A dust-catching layer traps every particle on your iPad, then slides out from underneath while keeping air exposure to a minimum.

The result: no dust, no bubbles.

A guide that works with you, not against you.

Forget lengthy paper manuals. Your iPad is right in front of you — so we turned it into the guide. With the interactive on-screen walkthrough, you install at your own pace, with detailed steps, videos, and help just a tap away.

And if it’s not perfect the first time, no worries: every pack includes two Paperlikes, and our satisfaction guarantee means we’ll send you a replacement if anything goes wrong.

Made for iPad and Apple Pencil.

Paper-feel is great — but not if it dulls your display or slows your Pencil.

That’s why we constantly refine our Nanodots™ surface to deliver the natural feel of paper without getting in the way of your iPad’s vibrant screen or the Apple Pencil’s precision.

Paperlike™ 3 enhances your setup instead of holding it back.

Full clarity. No compromise.

Textured surfaces bend the light coming from your iPad’s LEDs or OLEDs, causing refractions and rainbow effects — especially on bright, white backgrounds.

Unlike conventional matte screen protectors, Paperlike’s Nanodots surface delivers the paper-feel you love while keeping distortions to a minimum.

So you can write, draw, and watch your favorite Netflix show in brilliant clarity.

Ultra-thin, ultra-responsive.

Thicker screen protectors create a gap between the Pencil tip and screen. The iPad tries to guess your movement, and diagonal lines become wobbly.

Paperlike™ 3 is different: at under 0.095 mm — thinner than a human hair and within Apple’s own design guidelines — it keeps the tip close to the screen for instant, precise, and natural response with every stroke.

Minimal tip wear, maximum paper-feel.

When a hard Pencil tip moves against a textured foil, wear is inevitable — that’s physics.

But with Paperlike™ 3, we’ve optimized for minimal wear while keeping the natural paper-feel. Other protectors often feel like sandpaper and can wear down your tip in hours. Not Paperlike™.

On average, our customers replace their Apple Pencil tips every six months. And if you want even more durability, try our own Pencil Tips — built for 10× durability and a tad more friction on Paperlike.

Protect your iPad where it matters most.

Scratches on your iPad’s screen are more than annoying — once they’re there, you see them every time you use it. Luckily, Paperlike™ 3 shields your display from scuffs and scratches.

And if something does happen, no stress: every pack comes with two protectors, and replacing one is a lot easier (and cheaper) than replacing your screen.

For full protection, add a case — and if you don’t want to compromise on quality, finish, or feel, check out our iPad Cases.

See for yourself.

Paperlike™ 3 is the third iteration — built with hundreds of thousands invested in R&D, from new material compositions to the perfected Nanodots surface and the revolutionary easy Butterfly Application. It’s our most advanced Paperlike™ yet.
