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 Pro 12.9”) — Full-Size Annotation and Ideation Surface

The gist: Nanodot-textured matte film that turns the iPad Pro 12.9”’s big screen into a natural writing and annotation surface — built for professionals who use the large iPad as their primary document-review and brainstorming tool.

Nanodot texture: Microbead friction creates paper-like Apple Pencil drag across the full 12.9” display — natural pressure response for contract annotation and whiteboard-style ideation.
Anti-glare protection: Matte surface eliminates bright office or window reflections — the extra screen size doesn’t become a liability in sunny home-office setups.
Scratch resistance: 100% PET film shields the large, expensive display from daily wear across bag-pulls and desk sliding.
2-pack included: Spare protector in the box for a clean re-install or future device use — better value per dollar on a premium display.

Best Buy lists the Paperlike 12.9” 2-pack with confirmed iPad Pro compatibility and the matte, Apple Pencil–optimized surface finish.

Best for: Remote professionals who annotate lengthy documents, run visual brainstorms, or review presentations on a 12.9” iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Skip it if: your 12.9” use is 90% video calls and streaming — the matte finish slightly reduces display clarity at that size. Runs ~$5 open-box — check the current price before buying.
