The iPad is a great device, especially if you pair it with an Apple Pencil. A full-fledged computer, the power of a digital work environment literally at your fingertips. But one thing is still not great: the Apple Pencil slipping around on the iPad's glass surface feels unnatural and the pencil tip gets stuck on fingerprints and smudges. It simply doesn't feel right. If you're like us, you miss the accuracy of writing on paper.

Enter: Paperlike, a screen protector that emulates the natural feel of paper when writing and drawing on the iPad. The most significant challenges in developing the Paperlike were finding the right friction while keeping light refractions at a minimum. And keeping the material smooth enough, so it doesn't eat up the pencil tip like sandpaper (a lot of regular matte screen protectors do that). That's why we developed a unique surface technology called Nanodots. These microbeads are evenly distributed across the foil and allow for a natural paper feel while keeping as much of your iPad's brilliant display quality as possible. Join tens of thousands of artists, students, and notetakers around the world who love Paperlike. And finally, make your iPad the truly magnificent device it can be.

Paperlike Screen Protector (iPad Air 10.9” & 11” Pro) — Handwriting and Notes That Actually Feel Natural

The gist: A matte PET film with Nanodot microbeads that gives the Apple Pencil the drag and friction of real paper — a direct productivity upgrade for remote workers who take handwritten notes or annotate documents on an iPad.

Nanodot surface: Microbead texture replicates paper resistance for the Apple Pencil — reduces the glassy slip that makes handwriting feel off on a bare iPad screen.
Anti-glare: Matte finish eliminates window and monitor reflections — legible in bright home-office or co-working setups without repositioning the screen.
Scratch & fingerprint resistant: 100% PET construction resists scratching and oil smudges — keeps the screen looking clean through back-to-back meeting days.
2-pack: Two protectors per box — a backup for re-installs or a spare for a second device.

Best Buy lists the Paperlike 2-pack with confirmed iPad Pro 11” and iPad Air 10.9” compatibility, noting the matte anti-glare surface designed specifically for Apple Pencil writing and drawing workflows.

Best for: Remote workers who annotate PDFs, take handwritten meeting notes, or sketch diagrams on an iPad Pro or Air with Apple Pencil. Skip it if: your iPad work is primarily media consumption — the matte texture slightly softens video sharpness. Runs ~$5 open-box — check the current price before buying.
