Astropad's Paper-Like Screen Protector and Apple Pencil Tip Works With M4 iPad Pro

[zapmymac]

I have a paper-like screen protector for about 2 years, I love the feel of it.

I have used both version on my iPad pro, I do not recommend them. They put a gasoline oil slick on water look on the screen which is highly noticeable on very dark and very light screens. Version 2 seems even more prone to it. I like the feel of drawing on it, but I have abandoned it as it is just to obfuscating for me.

I found this to be the case as well with V2 (having had both with my 2018 iPad Pro). I generally tolerated it because I love the feel of the writing and my 2018’s screen was already looking tired and inferior to just about every other device I had. So I wasn’t giving up that much.

I was debating between the standard and nanotexture 2024 iPad Pro and ended up with the regular (for now) given all the comments from reviewers about how fantastic a screen it is.

I may still give my Astropad protector a try on the new device. But that swirling, moire pattern in V2 was definitely annoying on my 2018. It’ll be more painful if it mars the beauty of this new display… Will keep people posted and interested to hear others’ experiences.

In a timely manner, I suppose, there’s a new Astropad Rock Paper Pencil that they’re selling that is compatible with the 11” and 13” 2024 iPad Pros. It doesn’t ship for five weeks, but it does mean there won’t be any issues with blocking the FaceID camera array. If you wanted to buy one, make sure you pre-order the new one instead of picking up the old one.

Can someone tell me if this can be put on and taken off as many times as you like? I have been looking for something like this, but I don’t want a permanent screen protector as they make some things (like watching video) terrible…

The Astropad Rock, Paper, Pencil is attached by static cling, basically. It can be put on and removed as many times as you want. This is unlike Paperlike, which is attached with adhesive and will be ruined if removed. Rock, Paper, Pencil would work for you sinice you want a removable one. But as I mentioned in the previous post, get the one that works with the new iPad.

Hi Tobybrut… thank so much for confirming! I have placed a pre-order!

OK, so I have the Rock Paper Pencil v2 on my M2 iPad Pro 12.9. So is this saying that it will work on the M4 iPad Pro 13? Or do I need to purchase a newly released RPPv2 product for the new M4 Pro 13? It looks like they sell one for each, not one product for both.

If the former, then wont the border on the long iPad edge interfere with the cameras? Sorry, I’m a bit confused and looking for clarity here…

Hi there. I cannot attach the Paper Rock Pencil protector on my iPad Pro M4 because it interferes with the camera on the landscape upper region. FaceTime is blurry, and it makes Face ID hit or miss. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem?

You need the version specifically for the M4 iPad Pro. I bought one of the new models and it works perfectly.
