I feel like this is the first real review of Paper Like that I've come across. Many others are sponsored by them and claim it some amazing new invention for better drawing experience.. I'm glad I didn't buy into it and watched your review first!

UPDATE: - I re-tried Paperlike again to see if it changed in quality, it's the same. I tossed it out.



And I just finally changed my Tech Armor cover to a brand new Tech Armor cover. (I accidentally REALLY gouged it) but wow, two years drawing on a $5 cover that actually feels like paper and doesn't wear down your apple pencil while drawing. Be sure to read through the comments to see other honest opinions.

It’s funny I to as criticized for being an American... guys, I work for a German company. And they care more
About quality and craft than anyone. Anyone who says $30 for an iPad Screencover isn’t overpriced is high... or connected to the maker of the product and they can’t take a critique. I get it. It’s okay guys. I know the truth can hurt a little but I’m glad this review has saved some people some $$$, especially artists who aren’t necessarily rolling in dough.

Thanks for the straight-forward, honest review; much appreciated.

This was a brutal review. I’ve been waiting for something like this. many people on the positive bandwagon for these things.

I just got the Tech Armor matte screen protector for my new mini 5. You were right; it’s awesome. Thanx. Also, the package came with 3 protectors for the $9.99 price! Definitely a better deal than the PaperLike and I got it from Amazon with free 1-day shipping.

BLESS YOU! I was just about to press purchase on the Paperlike webstore and I decided to just look at a few more reviews. I immediately opened up an Amazon tab window while I was half way through your video, found the Tech Armor product and now that the video is over I am completing my Tech Armor order through Amazon and closing the Paperlike webstore tab. I hope Tech Armor knows about your video and your honest endorsement. Thanks a million, you saved me $15 which is more than double the price of the Tech Armor screen protector. Good job man! Good job!

Went for the Tech armor anti-glare: (1) increases friction and improves usability of the pen, (2) effectively reduces glare.
Thank you for this review.

Three years later, this video is still the gift that keeps on giving😁

I never tried the “official” PaperLike, but was using another one reasonably priced from Amazon. It’s pretty good if the only thing you’re doing is drawing on your iPad, but I also play mobile games that require touch, and my screen film was just too thick and prevented fluid swipes. Again, perfect for drawing, not so much for anything else.

I’ve been binging your _Secret Forces_ videos and so The Algorithm suggested this. I’m so glad I watched and when my Tech Armor screen film came and was installed, I was *amazed* at how there was enough texture to make drawing a great experience, but not so much “tooth” that it inhibited finger swipes and selections. I’m so impressed, I bought another two (four total) just in case it ever stops being sold😂 I’ll never use another screen film for drawing. Tech Armor owes you a kickback👍🏾😉

I just had a quick question what size is your Ipad Pro I am doing research before purchasing one I, pretty new to apple products and I want to get my daughter one of these looks like the perfect tool to do sketches and I will be ordering her the Tech Armor screen cover. Great Review by the way.

[Killer_Oldman]

Thanks for the honest review. I was considering buying the paperlike. I'd watched a couple of reviews, both of which where the product had been received for free, so I was looking for a review from someone who had actually purchased the product. Glad I saw your video - looks like I'll be buying the Tech Armor.

[gstapleton]

I needed to see this vid. I just got my 12.9 iPad Pro and considered this screen protector. They sent their product to so many artist for them to give a shout out that I was almost convinced to spend that extra money. No, I will check the Tech Armor.

[Hepticus]

You sir have earned yourself a subscriber.
This review was honest, funny and concise, many people and myself are very thankful to not spend more than they need

I bought one of these thinking exactly the same, it was on sale thought I’d try it out. Totally agree with you. Not worth the price tag nor is it that much more superior!

[TheMakeShiftLife]

Omg. I’m soooo depressed. I just bought the paperlike. I wish I saw this sooner. I knew it was going to take longer coming from Germany but I didn’t know it would take weeks and that I could get the tech armor for a third of the price and in two days. I feel like an idiot. The pitch on the website really got to me and I wanted to believe it actually felt like paper. Oh man. I feel like a sucker.

[smoocher]

This might be the first honest review I’ve seen of this product. All the others I’ve watched make it seem like coming up with this screen protector this is the equivalent of inventing the wheel.

[jblack]

One last comment — I didn’t see any mention of your work — you got skills!

[misterfung]

But damnit!! I want more information: on a scale of 1-5 where do the tech armour and paperlike sit in roughness??

I’ve been using the tech armour the whole time I’ve owned an iPad, and although I like it I find it fucks with the resolution quite a bit and wondered if my eye sight was getting worse due to it? It is as though my eyes just figure there’s no point in fully focusing as it’ll never be really clear. That’s been my main gripe with Techarmour.

So I want a direct comparison between the two in terms of resolution impact. (And the wee rainbow effect)
I understand that some degradation is simply the nature of a matte cover but can anyone shed some details between the two?

[elzavisser]

I realize that if you invest into a matte screen protector it primarily benefits people using their devices for writing and sketching. However, I would like to know how much it would impact photos for photo editing? I would imagine based on all the reviews I’ve watched quite a bit as no one has really done that test to show the color impact on photo editing which is primarily what I would be doing. Though I would love the matte feel on my device.

Thank you so much for the honest review. I'm so glad to see an honest review that's not "this is godlike because I got sponsored!". I'll definitely be checking out Tech Armor.
