Paperlike vs ESR Paper-Feel - Which is the best value?

Here i test and review both brands of matter paper feeling screen protectors made by Paperlike and ESR. Paperlike is almost twice the price and so I was interested to see if paying the extra is really worth it?

I remember using the first version of Paperlike on my iPad Pro in 2018. For writing, it was ok, but for making art? It was rubbish due to the severe colour distortion. The rainbow stripes were so bad, yet none of the reviewers (some were artists) at the time pointed out the obvious flaw. Don't know about the newer versions, but after that experience alone I've learnt not to trust YouTube reviewers over Paperlike because they're mostly just paid ads.

thank you for your honest review. We need more videos like this.

Maybe you could put a note in your calendar to revisit this is say 3 months and give an update to see if your still happy with it. Good review, Thanks

Can absolutely recommend the ESR paperfeel. Even if the pencil tip wears out faster, it‘s a pretty obvious choice to go for it. A Pencil tip is much cheaper and obviously less hard to swap out 😂
Imo Paperlike is hardly overpriced and much less durable as the test has proven.

This was incredibly valuable! Thank you so much.

I’ve been using ESR for cases and screen protectors this year and am really impressed

I originally had the Paperlike. After trying the ESR, it's definitely the superior product. The paperlike picking up my writing a permanent marks on the screen was a major bummer. I felt like I wasted my money. ESR also now comes with nice video instructions, and a tray to help you install it.

I bought and use Paperlike, the tactile feeling of drawing on actual paper feels so much better than the tippy-tap of my pencil against my actual screen.

After using it for a few months, I decided to buy a few more, as I’ll need them. Oh and some Apple Pencil replacement tips lol

[nectarily]

loved this so much. the ESR seemed great but can you review Bellemond? :)

Paperlike is easier on the apple pencil tip with the cost of the screen protector wearing out; ESR is harder on the apple pencil tip with the benefit of the protector holding up under scribing use.

Brilliant. Thank you! This was super informative and helpful.

ESR is my first stop. Thx for your review. A request - to play a 4K video, an eBook text (ie Kindle) or AAA game, just to see the difference.

Thanks for this extremely helpful review. I was thinking of buying a screen-protector so it would mimic the feeling of paper, but if it isn’t that noticeable, I won’t bother. Anyway, I’m not keen on how it mutes the black, but that’s just me being picky.

Just wanted to also thank you for showing me how to change the pressure setting on my iPad in one of your videos. THAT was a game-changer for me, and makes drawing or writing feel a hundred times more natural and enjoyable. 👍

Maybe it's more reflective because it is clean. A few days of use might knock that back.

HI so I recently got a matte screen protectors it’s tempered glass but the brand is “Mothca” and it doesn’t scratch at all so far with a pencil weather it be an Apple Pencil or generic one like I have. Like it’s so smooth and anti fingerprint resistant and so you should try it 😊

[turtleinashirt]

I’m late to the party but I might need to try the ESR. I’ve tried what seems like everything else and I end up just scratching the heck out of the screen protector in the first week. To be honest I’d much rather wear down the nib on the Apple Pencil because that doesn’t affect my viewing pleasures and is easier to put on lol

[design.dmitri]

any difference in drawing feel? Is any of these grippier? Also especially the spot where the Paperlike got “polished” for 5 minutes.

[soobie]

Paperlike does have fabulous customer service, should you need it. Thanks for the review!

[Suziie_]

how fast did the ESR ruin the nib ? i want to see how often i will need to change it if i start using it

[SageModeObito]

Where was this youtube suggestion yesterday when I bought paper like for my tablet 😅
