XIRON 2 Pack Paper Screen Protector for iPad Air 3 (2019) 10.5 inch, iPad Pro 10.5 (2017), Matte PET Film for iPad Pro/Air 10.5, Write and Draw Like on Paper, Anti-Glare Screen Protector

One Year Update:This screen protector has lasted me a full year. I recently just purchased another one, purely because it was getting dirty. Otherwise, this is great for those who like the paper feel. However, I do warrant artists who use their iPad continuously and even avid notetakers because this protector will wear down the nibs on your pencil more than other brands. However, if you like the paper feel, need a cheaper option that will last, and use it for moderate use, you will enjoy this brand!Original Review:This screen protector is definitely different from the rest. I've been through quite a few. I started with PaperLike, but found that the noise from the protector was pretty prominent and it bothered me. Then I went to a glass screen protectorto reduce the noise, but I couldn't write with it and the finger prints bothered me. Then, I changed to a simple Supershieldz matte protector and it was okay, but it began to slip when writing after a couple of months. Sooo... now I'm back to a paper-like material, but the PaperFeel is by far the best and I say this because you can feel the grit of the material. It's not sandpaper, but it does have a rough texture that is much more noticeable to me than the traditional PaperLike. It takes a little getting used to, but it has the most resemblance to writing on paper. There is definitely some noise that I can notice, but I've accepted that it happens with any matte protector. The installation I found to be easy, but definitely follow the directions. All in all - the best one yet!Update: I’ve been using this protector for about 8 months and the friction is still great. However, I have noticed a few things. First, it really hurts my Apple Pencil tip. I have had to try the nibs to reduce friction, but I don’t like how that feels. Otherwise, I have to change the tip bi-weekly. Also, the smudge marks got worse over time and it is not easy to clean. I’m in the market for a new screen protector to try and save money on my Apple Pencil tip, but this one lasted me a decent amount of time.

My husband uses these on his iPad and he said that it really changes the game for drawing digitally. It feels like a piece of paper on your screen. When you have the screen on, you can't see the papery feel of the screen protector but you can feel it with your finger or using the pencil. He says it adds nice resistance and doesn't feel as slippery when you're drawing. The protector looks nice and went on very easily. One of the few protectors where we didnt have the bubble issue. So glad it came in a two pack!!! AwesomeAs you can see, I took a picture of it directly under a very bright chandelier. It is anti-glare and looks nice. 👍

I love everything about this screen protector. The application was easy and it's incredibly durable. It's been a year and I'm still on my first protector with no signs of peeling. Writing on the screen sounds heavenly and it makes writing on my ipad more pleasurable. I will continue to repurchase.

It came in a package with a warranty and instructions included. I originally bought it for my ipad that I use to draw on and it does feel very paper like, although a bit rough.

After using a textured screen protector on my 12.9” iPad Pro, I had to get one for my older 2017 iPad Pro as well. This one is actually nicer than the one on my larger iPad Pro! Application was super easy and the provided tools worked great - especially the bubble remover card with the soft edge. If you have a lint remover roller with the removable sheets, those works great for getting dust off the screen quickly. Just line up the protector using the provided stickers, make sure the screen is clean and clear of dust, hold your breath and place it down. Very few bubbles had to be removed compared to other screen protectors I’ve applied in the past. Because I have the white version of the iPad, it was somewhat tricky to get everything aligned perfectly but the cutouts give you enough wiggle room to not be exact. Plus, the older iPads have larger bezels so you don’t have to get it exact. If you have an older 10.5 iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil, do yourself a favor and grab one of these! For someone who takes a lot of notes or does a lot of drawing, this is definitely worth it. The only long-term potential con I can think of is these textured screen protectors have a way of wearing down the Apple Pencil nib so it probably isn’t a bad idea to grab some extras of those. I think a four pack of the official Apple replacement nibs is under twenty bucks so it’s worth it to have them around.

This screen protector is solid. It feels just like paper, and makes writing notes on my iPad a lot easier in class as I get more traction on the screen. My notes turn out neater.The texture is a little weird and took some getting used to -- I would try out a friends first if you can to see if you can handle the texture difference (esp if you have sensory issues), but I got used to it quickly and I don't regret it at all.Try it out!

It's been over a year since I got this, still works like a charm. I was struggling with drawing on the regular scrnee, but this has a very nice grip to it. Hasn't done any damage to my apple pencils, only a little wore down in the spots I'm drawing on the most but still absolutely perfect when drawing on it. I haven't had any issue with it disturbing the sensitivity of the touch screen, in fact, it may have saved my screen from needing to be repaired entirely as the screen is now cracked but it would've been shattered (stepped on it on accident) had it not been for this product.
