Ordered my Boox Tab Ultra from Best Buy today and just ordered this screen protector for it. You are good at reviews. You sold me on buying! Without even trying!
Thanks Voja, always interesting and informative reviews. I bought 3 of the Doodroo, for three devices, iPad Pro 12.9 & 9.7 and for my BOOX Tab Ultra C. Watched your video, watched their video, prepared my workspace and my device (12.9) ready for installation. I have done this previously on another device with a different screen protector. Aligned the Doodroo, applied the tape to hold it in place. Got to the point where I had removed the backing cover, to stick it onto the screen, 1/3 into it, I see an air bubble 😮, a dot…. ! This is where it started to go wrong! Do not do what I did! I reversed to remove the one dot 😮😢 and I did it again… there is static in the film, that will attract dust! Now I have too may bubbles and dust points. What I should have done was to just continue in one motion and gotten it down. I might have had one or two dust marks. Yes, there is a second sheet, but this is a relatively expensive exercise to mess up. On the other hand and much brighter side, the feel of the Doodroo, is very nice, the handwriting experience is good. I know this is on an iPad, I will get to the BOOX when I have built up my courage to try again. Feel. Not like sandpaper but if you run your finger nail surface on the screen, you can see a slight abrasive mark from your nail. Very interesting. I also have a Healing Shield coming. Thought I would share my experience here.
I'm more of a *pen* on paper kind of guy rather than pencil on paper, so this sort of thing isn't for me. But wow, what a cool test you've concocted! You've proven their marketing with science! They don't call you My *Deep* Guide for nothing, eh? ;D Thank you for all that you do; you're the most detailed reviewer out there.
….oooooh. This explains why I didn’t get the hype of paperlike screen protectors at all. I do most of my writing in pen and only rarely do I use a pencil.
Perfect timing.. i’m on the hunt for a screen protector for my Tab Ultra. Thank you for your very objective and honest review of the screen protector. Am kinda disappointed there is no discount code as this is at least your second video reviewing Doodroo, and they used your Nova Air video on their website. Doodroo can do more and better for their content creators.
The water surface you mentioned is from the original screen. I noticed it when I peeled off the old protective film. I just changed to Doodroo and titanium nib, and so far I love it. I'm using note air 2 plus.
Please do a short video using this set up with the Heart of Metal pen, as that sounds like the ultimate build. Boox Tab Ultra, Screen protect and the best Eink pen.
I was watching this hoping it would have low reflectivity; which seems to be the big issue with protectors for these devices and my main concern. I'll stick with the standard screen for now until they come out with something closer to the actual screen surface. Thanks for reviewing.
My tab ultra has yet to arrive. I also ordered the Vaxson 3-Pack Screen Protector which was the only one available on Amazon US. My use need is for the protective function, not to change any interactive quality. Hopefully there is no noticeable visual degradation. No one has posted a review. Anybody here tried it?
Difficult for filming I appreciate, but for everybody else - doing the process in a bathroom having run a hot shower for a few minutes first works wonders for dust prevention.
Well I just made same move - Boox Ultra arrived on day of posting this video for very same reason - wanted to use eink in more cases and found out that Note Air 1st gen is good mainly for reading/notes while this product is a proper tablet. Pro advice for anyone using Onyx devices - always skip at least one generation.
Thank you for the review, could you maybe also link to the (exact) ESR screen protector you used? I haved used a Doodroo before, but they feel more like sandpaper than writing paper to me. You mentioned the ESR being comparable to the Remarkable one and that would be awesome.
Unfortunately the ESR screen protector I used and loved is no longer available. It is named and costs the same, but it doesn't have the same properties. So no, I don't have a screen protector that I can recommend at the moment.
I'm planning to buy Tab Ultra C. Can I still use this screen protector cause basically it is almost similar to Tab Ultra? Or should I not? Thank you, that video is so informative.
Hi! Thank you very much for your fabulous videos. Could you please tell me a matte screen protector for the Tab Ultra with low reflections? I don't mind about the writing experience, so I think the Doodroo is not a good option (lots of reflection and high price). Thank you very much Voja!
Thank you very much, but unfortunately I can't help there, as I am still searching for one myself. I've tried several, but none were good enough, so still searching.
I write in Scrivener which is great but not the best atmosphere to review my work at the end of the day as it is rather taxing. However, if I could review it on a e-ink screen and add notes easy to reference... that really would be something. There seems to be three main UA-camrs where I hoped to find direction regarding this issue _[Kit, Voja & Brandon],_ yet to date haven't yet stumbled upon a video that addresses reviewing e-books as well as the organisation issues surrounding this topic. I'm leaving this comment on all three channels in the hope that one or more might address the issue or point me to a video that does.
@@cward2986 Hi. I was looking for an e-ink tablet to review writing exported as a pdf document, and went for the Supernote A5X and haven't looked back... but thanks for the reply.
@@karlmunford7000Is it easy to get annotated PDFs off the SuperNote? I am also interested in them for PDF reading/annotation purposes, but they only have A6 size available currently. I read and mark-up a lot of scientific articles so definitely want a device that can on-load/off-load the files easily, ideally using iCloud or Google Drive as the main repository.
Honestly the combo of that stylus and real paper probably exceeds or at least sounds like it exceeds the friction of paper and pen or pencil. Would love to see you rig that friction test up with stylus nibs and their counterpart tabs and then get paper and ball point pen and paper and pencil values for a comparison Paper with the wood of pencil is different to lead etc. that may give more accurate representations of writing experience. Just a thought
After seeing your videos I got a Air 2 plus. Really happy so far. But I wonder if I need a protector. So far I like the feel as is, but do I risk destroying the screen? Not outshine too hard but I noticed the difference of pressure on the stroke, so may use more pressure moving on…
I wonder if this would make sense to use with the Heart of Metal pen. It would make the pen feel more like paper and less like pen and it would protect the screen from the ceramic nib.
Is it dangerous to use the Tab Ultra without a screen protector? Do they use Gorilla glass, or is the glass easily scratchable? I just got one, and I don't mind writing on the screen without the protector.
Be careful using the eraser end of pen included in the Ultra Tab package. Doodroo woukd destroy the paint within days, the pen functionality is then destroyed.
I don't think you are ever going to find your perfect screen protector. You were on the right path with the PaperLike screen protector. You can't just expect some magical material to do all of the work. If the PaperLike material solves the reflectivity problem and the gives a good paperlike feel, but you don't like the sound, then you need to compromise with the pencil tip material.
Was the screen protector you removed factory installed? I want to remove mine to apply Doodroo as well but I am afraid that it’s non removable like the first Samsung z fold which will damage the screen when removing
My priority is image quality. Each additional surface reduces this. Every screen protector has 2 - that's why I reject such a thing, especially because I don't write very much with the pen.
@@wernerarts yes you are right, but with screen protectors the protector gets the scratches instead of the screen. The problem is hard dust particles that scratch the screen when you move them with your finger when you use the device.
@@anon003 It is not possible to scratch the screen with a Stanley knife - and how long do you want to use the device? Poorer image quality bothers you every time
I hope you do a video comparing and finding the best screen protector for the Tab Ultra.
Ordered my Boox Tab Ultra from Best Buy today and just ordered this screen protector for it. You are good at reviews. You sold me on buying! Without even trying!
23 minutes to review a sticker on a glass: amazing, this is exactly what I needed to see. Thanks Voja, you are an artisan of the 21st century!

That's a good lesson on how to apply screen protector, I was doing it all wrong for years Thanks!
Ha! They include instructions.
Amazing! You've helped me put the product perfectly 😊
I bought one set a few weeks ago for my tab ultra, and I'm really happy with the paper like surface feeling. Indeed, it is eating the pen nib faster.
Metal Nibs to the rescue

Does it reduce touch sensitivity? This is a major issue and most videos don't cover it.
One more question, what is score for surface resistance do the Supernote A5 and the Boox Note 2 Plus get with their factory screen protectors?

Oh. Wow. This makes the Onyx a viable option now. It wasn't previously.
What are the best nibs for this. The standard ones get a flat spot after minutes of use and mushroom out and sharpen after weeks.
I'm planning to buy Tab Ultra C. Can I still use this screen protector cause basically it is almost similar to Tab Ultra? Or should I not?
Thank you, that video is so informative.

Can you print to PDF and review that on the e-ink tablet? Or are you thinking of something more complex?

Hello, where can I find the ESR semi paperlike for Boox Tab Ultra? Can you share a link (for Europe as a preference)? Thanks

Note Air 2 has a pre-applied laminated screen protector and paper like surface, so no, you don't need to do that.
I wonder if this would make sense to use with the Heart of Metal pen. It would make the pen feel more like paper and less like pen and it would protect the screen from the ceramic nib.
Yupps, definitely would protect it, but HOM pen doesn't have an eraser, or a button, so it's something to keep in mind.
@@MyDeepGuide I don't make mistakes. ;)
Nice! :D
Is it dangerous to use the Tab Ultra without a screen protector? Do they use Gorilla glass, or is the glass easily scratchable? I just got one, and I don't mind writing on the screen without the protector.
I am using tab X for half a year daily, so far no scratches on screen. I am writing with the stock pen, got through maybe 3 nibs atm.
@@flyingsayon Thanks!
I just ordered a BOOX tab x, should i order paper like for it?
Why don't you first wait until it arrives, try it out and then see if you need something like that or not?
Yes!!! Order it!!!! Get titanium nibs though for your pen.
@@limalikat4652 thanks

You mean they didn’t use black plastic for the stylus and instead painted over it?

Does the screen get scratches over the time when used without a screen protector? Every touchscreen device gets scratches.
@@anon003 Of course, anything with hardness 9 can be scratched with greater hardness, but this is very unlikely.
The protective films have 5-6!
