I Tested ½ a Paperlike Screen Protector on my iPad for 2 weeks. Here’s What Happened

- Is the Paperlike iPad screen protector worth the hype of a 1000 sponsored posts? The question I wanted answered after seeing a ton of sponsored products for the Paperlike. After spending 30 days with this product, I would say that it's a bit overhyped.

Now the first selling point with the Paperlike screen protector is the fact that it makes your iPad NOT feel like glass. Note that I said NOT like glass, not, MORE like paper. More on that in a few minutes.
Basically, the matte film increases the friction between your Apple Pencil and iPad screen. Honestly, if you’re an avid Apple pencil user, getting a matte screen protector is going to make you love your iPad that much more. There’s no doubt about that. But should you pony up the extra cash for this overhyped product?
And if you don’t use an Apple pencil, I personally find gaming with a matte film better than the glass.
From a protection standpoint, this plastic film will scratch between 2 or 3 on the Moh’s scale which basically means anything above a sneeze is going to scratch the protector. The film is thin enough that you can easily use with other products like the Brydge keyboards without tearing up the hinges on the keyboards. I’ll do a deeper dive on scratches in the few minutes.
Now the second selling point of the Paperlike screen protector are the nano-dots which minimizes the light diffusion. Most matte screen protectors result in a bit of colored speckling but it’s very hard to see the diffusion on the Paperlike.
Now to prove this to myself, I brought out my microscope and did a deep view of the Google docs app. Here’s a side by side comparison of the Paperlike and a Bellemond matte screen protector. The diffusion is noticeable on the Bellemond. Here’s a side by side of the Paperlike and a bare screen. That difference is noticeable.
Now that was pretty cool to see. BUT these Nanodots come at a cost because the Paperlike, despite what the marketing fluff says, does not enhance the viewing on my iPad. More on that after the screen protector cutting montage.
So I spent another weeks using this dual screen protector setup and I’ll be honest with you, it was terrible. I didn’t install the protectors as tightly as I could so right in the middle of the iPad I had a seam that was visually very annoying.
Now back to the Nanodots and the viewing experience, content on the iPad actually looks blurrier under the Paperlike. There’s less diffusion but the text isn’t as sharp as it is under the Bellemond screen protector.
And here’s another thing, the Paperlike will change the contrast of your screen. Every single screen protector I’ve used blows out the screen a bit but it’s quite evident on the Paperlike side with this setup.
The Bellemond screen protector also scratches between 2-3 on the Mohs scale BUT after a weeks of usage, the Paperlike side looked way worse than the Bellemond side.
Now I wanted to give Paperlike the benefit of the doubt and eliminate the chance that one of my thumbs was scratchier than the other, so I spend another week using my iPad upside down, which for me was camera side/button in my right palm and...it was the same story. The Bellemond screen protector showed minimal wear and tear whereas the Paperlike looked terrible.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Even if negative, it's always appreciated. I like that you tried to give us some props, even if you weren't able to find many. We're a pretty small team of people, but we're always trying to improve the Paperlike. So, we'll definitely take your input to heart as we continue to improve the product. I would state that, for the record, we don't pay for reviews. We do pay for placements in the videos of creators. We always ask for their honest feedback as well. Of course, it stands to reason that they may feel some pressure to make us happy due to the sponsorship. While not our intent, it makes sense. We also love to support great creators because think they deserve it. There are many positive reviews out there which we haven't sponsored. In some cases, UA-camrs are affiliates for Paperlike, but are also affiliates for the other products they're reviewing. That all said, know that we are not deaf to this feedback. This is something we are planning to rework as soon as possible, and we continue to improve the product with each version of Paperlike. Keep the honest feedback coming and we'll keep improving. Thanks again for your work and content. We hope to earn a positive review from you in the near future.
Respect for the honest response dude
@@lambykin842 of course. We genuinely do care about our customers and community. Most of us are hardcore iPad users ourselves.
Respect 👍
Just like to say paperlike has made me use my iPad more for drawing with procreate, I enjoy using it and will get another after I’ve worn this one out.
GG please provide your screen protector in countries like India for affordable price please @Paperlike
No one will talk how cute his dog? Looking to him so confused
I think the dog's reaction was a good reflection on the product.
@@JillRhoads hahahahah yeahhh
He's so distracting...
Makes me love him even more...
The dog looks depressed, as if he’s forced to be there, as if he’s hopeful for attention that rarely comes. (Or perhaps bad attention, see 10:27 ).
And his tie😂
I really love that your dog is listening to you and looks genuinely interested.
He wants to know which he should buy lol.
Holy shit, I’m blown away by this video- a tech review channel completely unlike any of the ones I’ve seen on UA-cam. You’re not overhyping anything, you’re not being dramatic about the problems with the protector- just a completely honest review based on actual usage of the product. Also, the dedication required to have that stupid line down the center of your iPad between the protectors is insane, along with that being a crazy smart idea and far better than the side by side comparisons most UA-camrs do. Absolutely liking and subscribing- I don’t watch tech videos too often but when I’m looking at products in the future, this is where I’m coming.
Thanks god, finally someone who wasn't paid by paper-not-alike sponsership!
:)
MobileReviewsEh thank you! I’ve been using an Amazon Matte protector for a little less than a month now.
Paid by Bellemond😂
But instead was paid by bellmond
JK I don’t think so, I’ve watched this guy for quite long time and I think he is honest in his opinions
"... and add the dust right back in." If I haven't heard more truth.
Noodlesyaboi but why the hell would you do that??? To test what it feels like with bubbles?
@@13lackshot To suffer.
As a person who has been applying his own screen protectors for 10 years. This joke had me dyin
As a student, this has been the most helpfull review of screenprotectors ive seen. i love that you compared multiple pens and also got a second opinion. It was also great to actually see the comparissons of scratches etc. side by side because many youtubers talk about it, but don't actually show it. Thank you so much!
I love how the dog is listening to his every word. And the dog's tie! omg so cute. and nice review also.
I love your priorities. Indeed, the dog is the true hero of this video.
OMG! Using a lint roller is genius!
I literally came here to say the same thing. I’ve used packing tape in the past, but this is genius. I can’t believe I never thought of this. IT’S LITERALLY SITTING ON MY DESK FOR THE CAT HAIR ON MY DESKPAD. 🤯
:) The 3M versions work best...others sometimes leave some of the adhesive on the screen
@@MobileReviewsEh My Dad's best friend worked for 3M. I like their products, their tape is the best.
@Fenera Taye Where's the blasphemy?
Fenera Taye lmao using the gods name in vain is by using god to justify your corrupt actions. not the phrase so correct yourself
that dog is like "why is the human talking so enthusiastically to a wall?"
I have so much respect for you. You and your reviews are unlike any other tech review channel I’ve seen. I’m blown away by your attn to detail, thoroughness, and most of all, honesty.
Yeah, I wasted my money on this crap too, due to so many sellout reviewers‘s
It's funny, i find a comment of my vape reviewer, on a vídeo of an ipad accesories review, while vaping on my rta, and watching YT on my Ipad.
@@Nosmokingalex OMG 😱 This is so funny 😆 Nice to see you here buddy
Stop dying.
@@jvle- Fr
There is a free money back guarantee. I said that I don’t like it so I got a refund and didn’t need to send it back at all.
I’m was like you, you couldn’t watch an iPad video without someone mentioning the paper screen protector, thanks for reviewing.
:)
Okay, but can we just talk about the dog's reaction when he started cursing? so adorable 😭 10:25
It’s so cute
Poor baby is scared 🥺 I wanna tell em, it's okay, buddy 😭 it's not you
he a cutie
He's heard that before.
Best comment
I loved everything about this video starting from the fact that it's unsponsored to the fact that you have mohs scratch kit and you did the side-by-side test. And that unbelievably patient dog. Nicely done!
So glad I found you before I wasted my money. You just gained a subscriber! I love how honest you are and that you did the split screen. Love that you care enough about your viewers getting a quality product than being paid off like other reviewers. Nothing but respect for you. Thank you again.
The paperlike might seem softer because they don't want to wear the apple pencil nib as much, that's another test you could do: which screen protector is best for the apple pencil
@Anshul Yadav the Apple Pencil costs $160
@Anshul Yadav tbh if I don’t have to spend that money I’d rather not. The less often I have to replace it the better
@@aaronrosenberg7880 yeah then you have the worse screen protector
@Anshul Yadav yeah it's cheaper to replace the tips. I don't know why people would rather replace their $20 screen protector.
Okay so am getting my iPad air 4 next week and planned on getting the paper-like screen protector but obviously now I won't. Can you recommend me a good one for my iPad
Loved your style dude, subscribed
Hello Doc!
Ortho god 😍😍
Sir!!! great to see you here!😂😂
Paperlike a is 6$ product on aliexpress. All of this is shit, it’s a rebranding/dropshipping scam.
Hello sir❤️
What the heck this is the most in depth and realistic review I’ve ever seen. All the work you did was insane and really gave a great representation of what to buy! Keep up this amazing content!!!
This is just an awesome review. Very satisfying and informative to watch.
At 10:23 when you started swearing, your dog started feeling sorry 🤣🤣 must've cursed a lot when you were angry to the dog 🤣
Hahahaha lmao, I know right? Poor little dog :(
Omg 😂😂😂
Omggg look at himm :((
noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So glad I saw this before I make the decision to buy! It’s so hard to find review videos that aren’t sponsored by the product being reviewed, so thank you! Definitely subscribing🙂
GREAT review. Extremely thorough and informative.
Your personality and comedy adds to it all, making this tutorial entertaining as well 👊
I love it how you gave a short answer of what you recommended at the start!!! It’s super useful for some people like me so that I know what to look for in the video! :D
Great content.
I've been seeing Paperlike sponsored videos everywhere but it's so nice to see an actual, honest review + a comparison!
I appreciate the cool comparison between the 2 highest sought "paperlike" screen protectors. I ended up going with neither after seeing so many contradicting reviews and finding out that they don't last past a few months of use. I will continue my college notetaking with the glass screen itself. It does the job and I suggest to everyone to just get used to it as it'll save you money in the long run.
So basically we don't need a screen protector for ipad?
Screen glare🥴
Really awesome video man. Entertaining and informative! Exactly the questions I was asking with even further in-depth testing. Loved it!
Good editing, and thanks for testing side-by-side and for a whole month of usage!
Great! Thanks for recommending an alternative. Been spending a lot of time searching. I appreciate the Nanodots for not throwing diffused colours, but I’m not happy with the Paperlike (2). It LOOKS way better than Paperlike 1, but I think they missed the mark on the paper feel. Actually I sanded my Paperlike with the finest grain sand paper I could find. Doesn’t look all that pretty, but it feels much more paper-like. Gonna definitely try out the other brand that you were recommending.
Dang it, unavailable everywhere (?) on Amazon.
So random seeing you here lol

Finally an honest review of this screen protectors. I have seen so many promotions and I have been skeptical. This made my choice easier. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
The thing is... it is not a protector. It's a tool for drawing artists. If you are non, you will not need that kind of tool. simple as that.
VidDrones so if you plan to just take notes it’s not necessary? i’m not a artist but i plan to use my new ipad for college notes.
M no it's not needed for that purpose. only if you realy write alot and in small letters it would be worth the money for you. Any matted foil will do it for you. As i said ... who's not drawing, sketching and or designing with a 3D modeller has no "need" for the Paperlike and no benefit.
Apollo König okay thanks i’m glad i’m finding this out, i’ll be purchasing my ipad and equipment soon.
These are the reviews we need, thank you so much 😊
Very nice review. Love how you show the actual testing and include all the links. Subbed!
That dog is a perfect sidekick. Bless his fluffy soul.
The iPad Pro community is going to be shook by this vid. Thank you for all ur hard work on it.
Thanks for the bloopers! I really enjoyed them. Goes to show how much goes into editing and preparing each video. Nice dude!
My life's mission is to reach the same level of chill as Monty 😂
Excellent and thorough review! Thank you for all the time it took!
Thank you for the very genuine feedback! All of the other ones I’ve seen is all about the aesthetic, not the actual protector, or cuz they were all sponsored and didn’t want to say much :(
Thank you for including a TL-DR at the beginning of the video. For that, you've earned one like and a complete video playthrough.
I appreciate all the detail you provide, thank you so much for your open honesty, and dedication to this video!!!
Thank you for the great information! Happy to see Paperlike's terrific response... hope they succeed in improving their product.
Your fur baby is so cute, he sits there looking at you all the time...he really loves you buddy!!!
First time seeing a reviewer actually cut them in halves and apply them at the same time, which is very helpful. Good work there.
EXCELLENT product review video. I trusted you from the first ten seconds but also listened to the rest. Subscribed.
A review that I actualy emjoyed, straight to the point! U got a new subscriber
Thank you very much for this honest and detailed comparison. I actually planned to get the bellamond one because it's cheaper, but now I know it's actually even better
I liked your thorough and well thought out review. I just have one suggestion: Have someone else install it and label each side A or B. It would add another level of objectivity to your review and it would be fun to see your reaction to the "reveal" of which product you prefer.
Yes and he could use the iPad with his eyes closed also
Haha. The bloopers are great. Please always addd these!
Best review I've EVER seen! Thanks.
0:50 the way the dog is staring at you like: “You still ain’t give me my breakfast dawg"
I think my favorite thing about this video was that when it comes back to you and Monty, the frame shows you both equally, as if Monty is your cohost😂😂
Awesome! The best review i had ever seen
This was a fun review to watch. I’m subscribing!
I am going to be honest. I liked the video, but I subscribed because of Monty :) Reminds me of my Bruno (11y/o) that had to stay back in Mexico while I am in the Philippines :(
What has that got to do with anything?
He is soooo adorable and attentive.
@@drwoo6090 Whatever he wants it to, Mr.Man and a thumb's down on your comment.
Monty is such a good boy ❤️ he's really invested in this review 😂
You’re so funny, I loved this video not only was it helpful but it was also entertaining
You are an inspiration with all those bloopers!
I love how your dog just sits there throughout it all
I used paper like and it did look scratched up after a few weeks. After taking it off, the screen looked so awesome! The paper like adds that matted look and fewer fingerprints. I don’t use my Apple Pencil a lot, so I went back to a clear screen protector. I just don’t like always having to clear the fingerprints on my screen. I think I have a fix. Based upon your review of all the iPad cases, I finally got a Magic Keyboard. The trackpad feature will decrease my finger swipes thus less fingerprints. LOL. Thanks for all your unbiased reviews. I also wanted to share that I also stick my old screen protectors on my file cabinets too. LOL
Thank you. You put in a lot of work. Great work.
Thanks for the crazy amount of labor you put into this review
Honest Honest Honest. Love your reviews. I liked the bloopers 🤪
Glad you like them!
The way the dog is looking at him like “dude I’m so ashamed of you” and walks away 🤣
Priceless
Finally someone did the video on this!!! Thank you
Thanks so much for this honest, proper review! I was looking for a paper-like screen protector and wasn't sure which one, so this review was brilliant.
Although it didn't come out well in the review, I'm actually pretty interested in the concept of the Paperlike itself.
I'll be looking forward to what the company will bring out in the future.
Thank you for this amazing review!! UA-cam lacks people making honest customer centered reviews...
Can you make a video comparing more matte screen protectors on the paper feeling? I mean, as you could see there are better options than Paperlike but I’d like to know which gives us the best paperlike feeling
Yes I can
Good review, appreciate your effort!
Thanks for making this video! I really appreciated both perspectives on the screen protectors near the end…AND the blooper reel!!
That doggo won the show! 😂 he stares at you like he's saying "bruh, nobody cares. Just stop"
Thanks so much for this. I’ve just upgraded my iPad, and having watched a bunch of iPad Pro videos, I’m soooo ici of hearing about Paperlike.
I draw with pencils, and can’t imagine any screen covering making it feel similar.
Some of the promos for Paperlike aren’t so subtle, either. I get the feeling some folks have built constructed videos around the product promotion, if that makes sense.
Thanks for your integrity.
Big kiss for Monty 🥰
i straight up was about to buy the paper like screen protector thank you for the honest review!!!!
This video was so helpful! Thank you.🙏🏼
i love the way the dog is just sitting there wearing a tie!
I was literally wondering why mine didn’t feel matte or anything and it’s because I accidentally took it off while taking the top part off 😭 thankfully it comes with a second one
Lmao 😂
I did the SAME thing!!! I was so mad at myself, but yes, I am so glad it came with a second one!!
So did you put it on to take it off?😂
@@isabellaclapp7604 no
Dude! Most balanced and entertaining review vid EVER!^10. Thank you.
You are exactly what people want when they are looking at product reviews. You are awesome. I’m subscribing.
Glad a real review is finally out for the paper like. I was tired of being prescribed this product by a certain doctor.
I know what you mean! You want isn't like being prescribed like a doctor? RAID Shadow Legends!!! It's an amazing MMORPG where you have an...... Yeah the game blows worse than those Raycon truly wireless ear buds people are trying to push. Those things are AT BEST 2x more than they should be, but you gotta pay for sponsors somehow eh?
But the product is so good! I was given lots of money to say so!
I bought one because my parents had it on their iPads for a while, and my dad uses an Apple Pencil on it often but it never scratched. As it turns out, theirs was the first version of Paperlike, while mine was the second version. Yeah, mine scratched quite a lot haha.
I use my pencil to animate, and you could see where I flick between frames and where I draw based on the scratches.
This is an authentic review! Thank you!
Thank you, this was an awesome review/comparison!
I literally just ordered it. Then this video popped up. Then I cancelled my order xD
Also stumbled on it after ordering 🤦♂️ hopefully I'm still on time for canceling xD
Got this video 72 hrs too late
@@UnusVita Got this video a month too late ! :-(
Tbh I’m using paperlike for over a year and I‘m still very happy with the product. Only con is the price I guess...
@@andre.slmartins it sucks because I do want to use my iPad for drawing but also for watching videos and editing... so I do want to use the paper like screen protector but I’m terrified of how much it’s going to affect the quality. I mean I can always take it off if it bothers me too much but I already spent a whole lot of money on it, so not using it would make me feel kinda guilty
This gives A/B testing a whole new meaning! 🔥🔥🔥
Love it ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the transparency and accuracy of your review.
More power to you in 2021 and beyond!
Your dog watching you talk is so cute and thanks for the honest review really helped my purchase decision
Great review dude!
"anything above a sneeze will scratch this protector" as someone with two cats, that's gonna be a pass for me LMAO great review!!
Good video. I saw the product in a Brad Colbow video where he seemed to genuinely like it but I wanted to see other opinions in case his needs and preferences are different to mine. The split screen and other methods of analysis seem quite fair.
I will say that after watching the video I was swayed towards the cheaper option (still going to look at a couple more reviews though) but Paperlikes comment on this video was impressive so I will keep an open mind about their products in the future.
Spot on with this review! Every video I have recently watch has been trying to promote papelike screen protector. So glad I seen your review. Thanks for always looking out for us.
I enjoyed this a LOT. Loved the outtakes at the end too 😂
10:14
I laughed so much at Monty's reaction lol
Right?
I thoroughly appreciate your satire. Its a nice change to the usual review type videos.
Loved the review! Most of all loved your dog, so adorable 😍
love the intense testing done! :)
"Now we use this... And add the dust back to the screen" I actually had to laugh as I 100% felt that
My biggest question is... how does Monty stay so chill in these clips? And stay on the seat for so long?
he is a robot
Man love your work thank you. Just saved me some moolah. We need more videos like this.
You got it!
Fantastic review!!!
I don’t even have an iPad Pro or intend on getting one but I do like this guys videos
Thanks for the support!
@Serge Eskov I agree. If he’s like most people, an iPad Air does everything you need it to do. Nobody needs an iPad Pro except people who make a living through it
@Serge Eskov but some people can’t afford it
how about now? ipad pro 10.5 is cheap (and probably loses software support next year but who cares)
Really appreciate the honest reviews. It’s sad when you look for reviews on accessories and 15 people all recommend the same thing but you know it’s all fake because they all say almost the exact same thing and act the exact same way. It’s like they are given a script that not only gives them the words to follow but the mannerisms as well.
Thanks for the great review 👌
Fantastic review, will be sure to use your amazon link to support!
