YES! Thank you, I have been using the iCares matte protector since 2018, the same initial installation and it still looks amazing. Haven't changed it once yet. Also, I am quite proud that not a single spec of dust or single air bubble got trapped underneath.
I bought that same KCT Screen Protector for my 12.9 Inch iPad Pro like 8 months ago, at first it was GREAT. about 2-3 months ago I started having this weird issue where the pencil sensitivity would randomly start changing all over the place...It was really frustrating but I was convinced it was the Apple Pencil itself being wonky. About a week ago, I bought a new pencil. However, I was STILL having the same issue. So, I started thinking maybe there was something wrong with my iPad itself. I did some research and found a thread on Reddit where someone mentioned their screen protector causing a very similar issue to what I was experiencing. I decided to remove the protector, and alas NO MORE weird sensitivity issues. The protector was great while it was great, but that issue I started experiencing made drawing frustrating. I may have just had a bad egg...who knows. Just keep an eye out for it!
Also if you have a friend who is an old git like me, who used to be a photo lab assistant, ask them how to get rid of dust when you install those rascals (dust on film was a massive issue but we had ways to handle it in a non-dust free environment). I'll only reveal that darkest secret if pressed 😂
@@A3-yt Well, it's maybe a bit long for a youtube comment, but here goes: When we used to develop films at home we always did it in the bathroom, because, that's a room with tiles, is usually the cleanest room in the house, and where you can find hot water ready. First, clean the bathroom (and dust/vaccum it, we never know), then run the hot water in the shower for a good while (I would say 5 minutes). At this point I would say take a shower while you're at it 😁. The aim is to get maximum condensation. The condensation will trap dust particules. Once you get that room all foggy, open the window very wide and close the door. The most difference there is between outside temperature and inside, the better. Air travels from hot to cold, so the outside air will not get in, but the inside air will get out, carrying all the dust with it. What remains of the airborne dust will be trapped within the droplets of water and eventually get stuck on walls and ground. It's important not to let the rest of the (warm) house air get inside so keep the door closed. After a while (15 minutes?) check if the walls and floors are dry and if they are, close the window. Your room is now virtually dust free. Do not run a ventilation device (naturally full of dust). Now do your stuff and it should be fine. That when we would leave our films to dry and be sure that no dust would stick to the wet film, as they'd eventually be trapped within the gelatin and that is impossible to remove after the film is dry (so it was pretty critical). I actually have no scientific proof of it (like laws of thermodynamics and whatnot) but it was knowledge passed down from old to young and always proved to be working perfectly. Hope it makes sense!
@@A3-ytI just received the screen protector I've ordered, and sucessfully placed it with no dust with this trick. I guess if you have a kitchen with a window and a big pan of water boiling on the hob the process would be the same.
I bought cheap replacement tips on your advice (they're great!) and I have now bought a Paperfeel pack, without your advice because I thought what's the heck, at least it will protect the screen (your review wasn't out yet when I ordered it, but I feel vindicated 😂). I like in the UK and most things other US based streamers tend to recommend aren't available in here, but this one is. Just to let you know that most things are different, even when you order on Amazon (and affiliate links only work for North America!)
Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I will continue buying dual anti-reflective paperlike glass scren protectors for $10-15. Now, if only a company could make one that didn't detract from the image quality of my Samsung Tab Ultra 14.6" OLED screen.
Check out my review of these cheap Apple Pencil replacement tips:

love that!
Chris you are so severely underrated thank you so much for all your videos! Love ya!
Thanks so much!
Man these screen protector videos are cracking me up. Thanks Chris! Ordered a cheap protector and some extra tips.
Hah thanks! The comment before this one was someone complaining about them!

awesome, thanks for the info!
@@chris-piascik For the price though, it’s a great protector! Worth just buying a few and replacing them if it starts happening.

Tell us how

@@imaginerie468 thank a lot though as a poor student I can’t do 99% of that but still thanks🤣

@@imaginerie468Thank you!😊
I love the Bellamond screen protector. (Not the removable one.). Much more tooth than other protectors and inexpensive.
have you tried the removable one? is it good?
I find this ktc one to have similar tooth to the last Bellemond paper I tried.
Love your videos, Chris! They've really helped me with Fresco, and drawing in general. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! That’s great to hear.

The current paperlike seems to do the best at retaining the image quality, I just find that it scratches up quickly because I draw so much.
I appreciate the ICP reference. Still don't know how they work.
I love your video! Dust bothers me as well more than bubbles 😂 If only it was possible to have a “sterile dust free room” for installation purposes.
Haha that would be great. Thanks!
I knew! Finally my friends can stop calling me a conspiracy theorist 😂
😂
I don’t enjoy the paperlike at all actually. Its so damn rough.
I prefer icarez way more. Hope to get it once again eventually
