Paperfeel Glass Screen Protector for iPad Pro 12.9 (2022-2018)

The most easiest install. I’m horrible at screen protectors. They always end up crooked or there is dirt under it or I crack it. I even managed to screw up the ones that you place in a book like device and pull the film from the top. No problem this time. Placed the frame on top and that’s it. It basically does everything for you. As for the protector it’s self. It’s a different feel different look and take time to adjust but overall a great screen protectors that does give the feel of drawing on paper. More friction so less sliding on a smooth screen. Perfect fit no bubbles. Great price. I highly recommend.

This is probably the easiest screen protector I ever had to install. Considering the size (12.9"), I was worried about trapping air bubbles and ended up with non. The screen protector comes pre-installed in the fixture and the steps are fairly easy. You can't skip any, other than maybe the proper cleaning. For that, the included "wet" towel turned out to be useless and I moistened it with lens cleaner. The (also included) microfiber towel is a bit small but turned out to be sufficient to clean off the solution. The dust picker strips are helpful and I simply dabbed around a bit to make sure I didn't miss a particle. Then the big moment. Remove the first foil to set the protector on the clean screen. Note the marking where to press and where not. This helps for the film to evenly expand and greatly reduce trapped air. In the end, i had very few that were easily eliminated with the included squeegee. The matte finish of the protector greatly reduces glare, but also a bit of brilliance in bright rooms. (Outdoor is difficult with or without the matte finish. The paper feel is a bit of a gimmick to me, but it turns out to be a good choice. It does reduce normal finger prints (unless you had some oil on your fingers).

The installation process is extremely easy. The paper texture is rougher than other screen protectors I’ve tried which I really like. It’s not as easy to glide across the screen which helps me have more control when drawing.

Incredibly easy installation, which is what I'd hoped for. After the initial install, I had a medium-sized bubble in the middle and a small one near the edge of the protector which didn't seem to want to be squeegeed out with the provided tool. However, with some patience I was able to completely get both bubbles out completely. I've used other matte protectors in the past, including Paperlike, and have found this one to have more of a "tooth" than anything else I've used before. For the first time, I've switched over to the ballpoint pen-like nib on my apple pencil and kept it on; this texture's added enough resistance that I like having a smaller surface on the nib. I expect that this protector will get scratched up as have all the other ones I've used in the past, but will update once I'm ready to swap it out. One major downside to this cover is the plastic waste. It's unfortunate that the installation frame is single-use. When my initial efforts to get the bubbles out weren't working, I looked up Hocent's products to see if they sold only the protector in case I had messed it up and needed to start over. But it seems like they only sell the 12.9 version with the installation frame included. Kind of a bummer! If a reusable innovation came along, I'd swap over in an instant. Great product despite the single-use installation frame. If you're looking for something a little rougher that doesn't require so much fussing, I recommend it.

UPDATE from below: Not even 24 hours from the review below, it got worse. It was a complete waste of money. As a one time shot, not worth the money. --------- As an iphone (yes I know this is for an ipad) user since 2007, I have been fighting screen protectors for a long time. I need them to be straight, no bubbles, etc. So I always look for the alignment frame for help. I also want more than one protector in a package, because I almost always end up not getting it perfect the first time. So to find an ipad protector, that feels like paper and has the frame was much harder. But the reviews for this were pretty glowing. However, I knew not everyone probably is as picky as I am as far as wanting it perfect. And I just wasn't thrilled with the fact it came with only one. But I took a chance and also ordered two other kinds with out alignment frames in case this didn't work out. Well it almost worked out. A couple bubbles, that I was able to smooth down to nearly the sides. The alignment wasn't 100% onto the center. Which may be fine, except I was putting it back into its case. Well as soon as I did that, the screen protector lifted right back up on the side that was moved to far over. I took it out and had to readjust. Using the squeegee thing, its already scuffed up. I had to rethink about how I was putting back into its case. It's not at all perfect. But it will due for now, but I wont buy again. It's too expensive for this one shot thing only.

As described, silky paper like feeling. Protects my screen and easy to apply

The screen protector was good for the price. Installation was easy. I’ve had this protector on for about 6 months and have had zero issues with lifting, however I have noticed a few significant issues with this particular brand. I have several scratches and chips that are highly noticeable and kind of distracting. I went an entire year with nothing on my screen and received less scratches than I have with this on. The texture is very rough compared to other’s I’ve felt from my friend’s ipads. At first I liked it a lot but then I noticed when I draw the surface creates uneven lines. I used my ipad primarily for drawing so this is a bit of an issue. My brother who has some texture issues absolutely hates touching my ipad because he says it feels grimey. Overall I probably would recommend one of the more expensive options for someone using their device for more professional use.

Absolutely phenomenal! Feels soo good to write on and it very dramatically reduces glare.. Which is awesome because mostly watch movies/shows on my iPad. Because I do tend to use it for watching things more than I write, I do find it kind of annoying how you can kind of see the texture of it when im watching stuff, but thats just personal preference- totally worth it for lack of glare!

NO glare and no fingerprints. Very durable. Touch screen still works great. Very easy to install. Will order again if needed.

Feels like a paper and it actually sounds like a paper with apple pencil. Also it’s thick enough to protect the screen.

Textura agradable al tacto y al escribir, no se quedan las huellas. Lo recomiendo, es una buena opción si quieres proteger la pantalla y a la vez mejorar la experiencia de escritura.

Es el primero en su tipo que pruebo, pero me gustó mucho. Realmente cambia la experiencia de escribir en el iPad. Algo que agradezco bastante son todas las herramientas que tiene para una correcta aplicación, algo que siempre me suele poner nerviosa.

Excelente material y muy fácil de instalar gracias al kit que viene en el paquete.
