Paperlike, infty etc for ipad - worth it?

@korilynneillo Thanks so much - that's super helpful! I guess I'll give a generic matte protector a go (any particular one you use?) and see how I get on!

@mamadraw

I think the brand I’ve been using is Super Shields or something like that? I’ll have to see if I’ve still got a spare one in my desk to double check for you!

@korilynneillo that's okay! I think I found the ones you have and they were unavailable in the UK atm so I have gone with another generic with good reviews. I will update here when I have had a chance to play with it. Thanks again for your help!

I use one that I'm forgetting the name of. Same thing, I love it for maybe a week then it's slippery again. I was going to order more ( but not excited about constantly replacing due to cost and environment issues too.. I just don't feel good about throwing stuff out).
I'd be super interested in whatever @korilynneillo is using.

I have been using Paper-like on my iPad. It really improved the drawing experience for me. I was surprised at how much difference it made. The center of the screen has worn noticeably smoother with use, but it is still way nicer than the bare glass IMO.

Amazon receipts to the rescue! I couldn't find my box lol.

I use this one amazon link

@mamadraw I tried the paperlike cover for a day but it ruined the screen resolution too much for me, so I took it off. I just got used to the glass and wear a drawing glove for a gentle hand glide and to stop my hand from sticking.

@mamadraw I love and hate my Paperlike...i never had problems with having to repeat a hand gesture or with palm rejection before i put it on..but i do like the texture of it and have kept it on...it does get beat up very quickly...

@korilynneillo ah, wicked, thanks so much! I’ll give it a try

@mamadraw i’ve been using my ipad for almost 3 years now and I never used a screen protector. I love how easily my hand glides on glass. My cintiq has a texture and I hate the surface resistance I experience when drawing.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Interesting. I have an x-pen and it has a roughness that I personally appreciate but I do think the screen is a little duller which I really dislike. I guess the matte protector might present a similar pay off. It's coming this evening so I guess I'll find out soon!

And thanks for digging that out @korilynneillo, if my one loses its edge fast I'll give that one a go next!
