iPad pro screen - finally a solution
-
I didn't see the one that I have been using listed... This one is sort of expensive but I love the texture... it has a bristol board tooth to it... well, almost. It doesn't interfere with the Retina screen either... Geevon Friction Pad... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TNK39F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... oh, and it hasn't wore down my Apple Pencil nib yet either. Have been using it since October 2017 now...

@late2theparty so you don’t experience the “rainbow haze” that some reviewers mention? Sounds like it may be easier to apply than some others. Do you use a case with the geevon?
-
@bichonbistro I do not have any trouble with the Geevon protector. I don't see a rainbow haze while I'm working or surfing. That would annoy me big time. I do use a very thin case but is very thin. It is mainly a rubber case with about a sixteenth inch covering around the back. Makes holding the iPad a bit less slippery. Then I have a zippered case that I keep it in while not in use. Screen protector is very durable and I use it daily. My drawing is thick and thin, light and hard so I put it through its paces. I haven't tried but one other one and the other one was just as smooth as the original glass and scratched easily. Hope that helped...

@late2theparty thanks! If you don’t mind, which case do you use? The slippery feel of the 12.9 without a case makes me very nervous.
-
@bichonbistro SENON slim case... I have a 10.5 iPad... not sure if SENON makes one for the 12 but you could check out Amazon for it... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072121H2Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@jimsz I took your recommendation and ordered the screen protector. I just put it on (it was fairly easy) and it really does make it significant difference in drawing on the iPad. Of course, now I have no excuse for a poor drawing :). Thanks for the recommendation.

@demotlj Glad it helps!

That looks good. Are there screen protectors of this kind for other iPad models? I am using the iPad Pro 11-inch.

This is pretty decent...

@jimsz , just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation. I’m a bit tired of slipping and sliding on my glass and after much research, decided to get the techarmor plastic screen for my iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd Gen.
I was also looking at Paperlike vs. Elecom vs. iCarz; however, it seems more artists recommend the techarmor (plastic) protector.
Thanks!

@AjMitchel I’ve been using the OG paperlike for a year and just put the new Paperlike 2 on my iPad Pro. I’m soooooo in love with it. The texture is amazing.
-
2nd the Paperlike. The feel is the unbeatable.
-
@jdubz and @AjMitchel , did you guys experience any pesky bubbles during installation of the Paperlike screen?
I installed my techarmor screen in the bathroom after steaming up the room to remove dust; however, I still had a few annoying bubbles I couldn’t squeeze out. I left it overnight to see if maybe it would be better in the morning, but nope.
This morning I followed the helpful videos on how to remove the bubbles due to small dirt particles, but I just made it worse (smile).
Thankfully it came with two, hope I don’t screw up the next one.
Tips from anyone greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@Jeremy-Ross Yeah I wasn't able to get a completely perfect screen, but the few tiny bubbles I have on the rim I can't see when I'm drawing and don't affect anything so I finally decided to leave them.
If it's just air and not dirt, you can use a needle to poke a tiny hole to let the air escape. If you come at it at an angle you won't be poking the screen itself.
I've ALWAYS found trying to fix a few stray particles makes mine far worse than what I was trying to fix so I usually end up leaving it alone unless it's really bad lol.
-
@jdubz thanks! I had a few annoying bubbles in the middle of the screen which I couldn’t ignore, but after trying to remove, created about 100 bubbles! I would definitely leave edge bubbles alone too.

I love the Paperlike too - I had a knock off brand and when I got the new version off of kickstarter - it was wonderful and not a lot of issues getting it on like other screen protectors - it was pretty low maintenance.
