ESR2 Pack Paper-Feel Screen Protector for iPad Air 11 Inch M3/M2 (7th/6th Generation, 2025/2024), Write and Draw Like on Paper, Scratch Protection with Easy Application Tray, Thin and ResponsiveCarbonfree Certified

I hope my review helps other newbie customers for this product and Apple in general. I have never owned an iPad, or an iPhone and so i got my first iPad this year and read and watched through countless videos about which screen protector would be the best for illustrators and artists.... everything seemed to point to Paperlike or whatever product was considered " industry standard"..... but the issue was that I did not have $44 to blow on it. I took the leap after reading the positive reviews on here and IM SO GLAD I GOT THIS!! The entire installation process was so easy thanks to the genius tray set up and there is not a single bubble on my iPad as a result. It feels so good to draw on it. I just care about the sensitivity, ease of drawing and how detailed the brush can lay down the colors and lines. It performs above and beyond. I have been drawing with traditional media since the 80's and this feels really wonderful to draw on. This price alone is the right price for products like this. It's not insanely expensive and just feels so balanced and customer friendly. My Apple pencil feels just the right amount of texture to draw on without grating on the surface.

I use this as a tool to write on my ipad for mathematics courses like multivar calc, stats, linear algebra, algorithms, etc and it works well if you find the apple pencil too slick on the naked display. Looks great for reading. Personally a better option than a magnetic cover I had because the closeness of the screen protector creates a higher quality image. The coating has some blur and rainbowness but it is not too bad especially compared to other options. Exceptionally easy to install with built in frame and replacement in the package if you need it. It fits very well because of this too.

I recently had bought one that was a little cheaper than this and it did not work at all. There were many air bubbles that were left and i just had spent over 2 hours. I had returned that one and looked at this one. This screen protector was placed perfectly on with a few air bubbles but was very easy to fix with the tool! i highly recommend this!

I use my iPad primarily for note-taking at school, and I found it annoying and difficult to take notes on a slippery screen. I ended up buying one of these "paper-like" feel screens and find it much easier to write my notes! It works perfectly, and does exactly as intended. There is zero glare, but it does slightly reduce the quality of your screen but I guess that's to be expected when you buy a matte screen protector. I did notice prior to having this matte screen protector, I used apply a lot of pressure when writing and I no longer do that.However, there are a couple downsides I have when it comes to this product. This isn't an actual screen protector, merely a layer to help mimic the feeling of writing on paper, so keep in mind that this will not provide any protection to your glass screen in the event it cracks. I didn't like having to take off my glass screen protector to replace it with this matte screen, so if you prefer protection over feel, then I suggest buying a magnetic paper-feel screen protector that goes over your glass screen protector (and this same company does sell one!).Despite it advertising having an easy application, I found that I had the exact opposite experience. Putting this on was such a pain, and the QR code they have on the paper instructions doesn't even have a working link. The written instructions do suffice, but if you're a visual learner it's a bit of an inconvenience. When pulling the protector over and looping it onto the peg, there was a lot of tension and the screen protector ended up lifting whenever I tried smoothing it out. I ended up having to lift the screen protector and readjusting it a couple of times and stopped following the instructions so I could get it aligned and all the air bubbles out. I took off the shiny top later that initially covers the front of the screen protector so I could clearly see the bubbles and push them out. Taking out the air bubbles were easier though, and after it was fully applied it takes a bit of give to attempting to lift up the screen protector.Other than the issues I had with application, I rate this a solid 4/5 stars. I personally wouldn't buy this again if I decided to get another iPad and would instead get their magnetic paper-like screen protectors so I could take it off whenever I didn't need to use it.

Great screen overlay, especially when drawing with the iPad pencil with a metal tip.Application was very easy. Never installed a screen protector, but I got the screen on with no bubbles. My trick was using a credit card to push out the bubbles while slowly applying the screen on step 1.There is some “noise texture” when the screen is on, but I’ve stopped noticing it after a few minutes. It doesn’t hinder the clarity of the iPad, at least for me.I wouldn’t say it feels exactly like paper, it’s similar. Not sure how Paperlike compares to this since I never tried it, but for the price, I can confidentially say this screen does the job well.

FIRE!!! Feels like paper! My daughter's love these. Dad loved the install tools. Very nice set up

The feel is there but it absolutely destroys the screen quality. I'd say it's good if you only do art on your iPad but I found it too much of a downgrade for other tasks on it. The main gripe was it causing colored speckling on white background or high-contrast stuff in general. The application is very easy though. Always funny to me when I see the "fancier" brand like Paperlike still handing out the dumb sticker system.

Overall, a great screen protector. Yes, it slightly reduces screen resolution, but the trade-off is no glare and excellent compatibility with the Apple Pencil. The only downside is that the texture is slightly rough on the Apple Pencil tip, so you may need to replace it more frequently. The price is great—you get two screen protectors, and installation is easy thanks to the included kit.
