The Original Made in Japan Paper Screen Protector for iPad Mini 8.3” (A17 Pro, 2024 / 6th Gen, 2021) | Matte Surface PET Film for Writing, Drawing & Note-Taking | 2 Set

This is my third time using this product, although in the beginning I choose this one merely by the good reviews. I first installed to my iPad Pro 12.9" that I use for drawing tee shirts designs and illustrations. I sketch and draw every day for a period of 3 to 6 hours, so it's imperative for me to recreate the paper feeling on my iPad screen, and after tried the Original 'Paperlike' screen protector for close to $50 I realized that it not worthy the exaggerated price. So Bellemond proved itself better texture with a very good feel like paper itself. The iPencil Pro resist like is scratching the surface of paper, the negative part of that great sensation is that the iPencil Pro tip wear off significantly faster than without this screen protector, but I rather replace more frequent the tips. The resistance on the iPencil makes the experience of drawing or writing on a glass surface very real just like you are doing it on paper. Now, I installed it to my iPad Mini where I start the sketching process before the finish piece. Great product and does it very well what it promise for a good price.

Actual miracle of a product. I applied this incorrectly the first time as there were no guidelines and I have a shaky hand. The second time, I thought I beefed it but managed to smooth most the bubbles out. To my surprise, the ones that remained just disappeared overnight. Just. Gone. I certainly didn't get rid of them myself, so I was baffled. Only a few remains on the edge, which I don't care about at all since the case kind of does that. There is a noise-like texture that distorts the image a little, but the trade-off of drawing on a paper-like texture that both doesn't wear down the nib quickly is worth it in spades. I use my ipad for only art and not media consumption, so it was a worthy trade. It's easy to clean, looks great, no fingerprints, no glare. Touch sensitivity is fine, the screen protector is thin enough that it doesn't really make a difference. This is the paperlike screen protector to get. The vanishing bubbles already make it worth it, but it's miles better in texture from the name brand. Fits like a dream, too, despite the awful application process. Bellemond, if you're listening, please add guide stickers to your screen protector lol.

This screen protector works wonderfully for drawing, but the installation left much to be desired. Unlike most protectors, the protective films on either side of this one are cut larger than the screen protector itself. This made it tricky to center and apply without trimming them down first. For my second attempt, I plan to pre-trim the films to match the protector’s size—it’ll save a lot of frustration. Once installed, the performance is fantastic. The matte texture gives my iPad a satisfying paper-like feel, which has made drawing much easier and more enjoyable. I’ve been using it heavily for a week, and it’s holding up great, with no visible wear or scratches on the surface. However, my Apple Pencil nib is wearing down faster than before. Since I keep a stash of replacement nibs, it’s not a dealbreaker for me, especially because the added control while drawing is worth it. If you do a lot of digital art or note-taking, this protector is an excellent upgrade—just be ready for a bit of a headache during installation.

Like a lot of others who own an iPad Pro, I bought into the hype of the PaperLike screen protector. How could you not, right? The dang thing is everywhere. Seems like every iPad-related video is sponsored by the company. I even bought two different versions, because with all that advertising and the high cost, the product had to be the best, right? But after applying those protectors, I kept wondering what the heck everyone was raving about. They felt okay, sure, but not high-quality enough to justify their high cost. Plus they wore out really fast. After a month of grad school note taking, I found the PaperLike slick and basically useless. So, after peeling the last PaperLike off my iPad and preparing to fork over another $30, I stumbled upon this Bellemond product. I was skeptical though, because how could a product be as good as the most expensive and most hyped screen protector on the internet? But after reading the reviews for Bellemond, and seeing the cost, I figured I’d give it a shot. Besides, if the Bellemond didn’t work out I could always go back to PaperLike. Well, I’m happy to say that PaperLike will never get my money again as long as Bellemond is around. This protector is phenomenal. It finally FEELS like I’m taking notes on a legal pad. One of the other things that always bugged me about the previous protectors is that they mottled the iPad’s Retina display. It wasn’t terrible, but there was a noticeable difference in screen quality with the other guys. With the Bellemond, I can still tell there is a protector on the screen, but I’m shocked at how much better the screen looks versus the PaperLike. Now, there is one category in which I think the Bellemond is slightly lacking and that is the application process. PaperLike has a “hinge” system that uses stickers to apply the protector. Bellemond doesn’t use this process. Instead it asks you to freehand the protector on the screen, which I found to be a little more difficult than the other guys. Regardless, I was able to apply this protector with a little bit more attention to detail and as a result there are zero air bubbles or dust underneath. If you are careful then this isn’t a huge problem, but it is something to be aware of. Overall, I love this protector. It’s a little over half the cost of the PaperLike, much better quality, has a much more satisfying writing experience, and doesn’t impede the iPad’s gorgeous Retina display. All these traits make the Bellemond a better value than any of the other protectors out there—especially you know who. If you’re serious about using your Apple Pencil with your iPad then this is the screen protector to buy. Hey PaperLike, if you’re reading this review—you should be worried. I

El producto traía burbujas desde antes de aplicarlo y a la hora de aplicarlo no pegó bien y se le hacen burbujas y por más que se las quite le vuelven a salir

As a professional artist. I always went for the paperlike screen cover. It used to be much more cheaper back then but now, it’s ridiculously high price. I wanted to give a try to this screen protector after many positive reviews by artist and I must say it was very smooth transition from paperlike to bellemond for me. It’s really worth it. The only negative thing about it is that the surface get smooth after a few use like in a week. But it still maintain the paper feel. UPDATE: less than a year, the cover got so smooth and creating problem adding strokes while painting. Sometimes get itching sound. I was impressed by the quality for few weeks within that price. But now, I will highly recommend paperlike (original) cover which I used more than 2 years and it maunting the paperlike feel. Removing 4 star rating to 2 star. Not sure why people having a problem installing it as it has same installation process than almost all screen protector.

Schreiben wie auf Papier! Meine Tochter kann nun auf ihrem iPad sehr gut mit dem Apple Pencil schreiben, da das Gefühl besser ist als auf dem reinen Display.

Good quality

Extremely cheap quality material. Not great paper-feel screen protector. Poor visibility. No alignment tools for application, so it is extremely difficult to fit. Doesn’t fit on the screen well. Just a very bad product.
