​@@JamesJulier-Artistwhat feedback about ESR and paper like now after using it lon time ??

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 KZread reviewers over Paperlike because they're mostly just paid ads.

Thanks for doing this video-I’ve only used Paperlike, so I’ve wondered about the quality of the other brands. I’ve struggled with applying them, even ended up wasting a version 2 of Paperlike, because it bent when I was trying to remove the backing. Sounds like I have a choice to make, regarding the trade off of wearing on the pencil nibs.

So appreciate your thoughts on digital drawing products.

Used the ESR matte screen on iPad Pro. I would say the first months were excellent but after some maybe 8 months, the matte screen protector is now very slippery. Writing on it feels slippery and I experiences less control so writing needs more effort to have clean handwriting. I haven’t used the Paperlike so I really can’t compare both.

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. 👍

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think I would prefer to change my apple pencil tip than the screen protector, a much easier process. I've always used a cheaper paperlike screen protector and it's been really good. I think I will try out the cheaper version you used on this. I was quite impressed. X

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.

Does ESR paperfeel also give similar color distortion as paperlike. less or more ?

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

Several iPads. Never bought the Paperlike. Haven’t heard anything bad about that product tho’. I tend to use Bellmond & Bersem. They resemble that ESR in surface. Nice comparison, thanks.

Do you still use this screen protector or have you had to replace it, and has it gotten any scratches overtime? Also has the ESR worn down your Apple Pencil?

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.

I tried pen tips, paperlike and now I have one from ESR (the magnetic one that just snaps on to the edges of the screen). Paperlike and pen tips are crap compared to the one from ESR. Pen tips are a bit of an improvement but not much precision, paperlike is also better than plain glass, but every stroke is a scratch. Within a month it will look like it went through war. ESR is much grippier, sturdier, and I've been drawing on it for a few weeks. No scratches so far!

Yes absolutely

Brands like Spigen and ESR provide installation stuff to guide smooth installation. it is really selfish on the part of paperlike to focus more on profits rather than consumer ease.

Just saying, The paperlike was installed incorrectly on the second go as well - You installed it upside down, which can happen very easily. When installed upside down it loses pretty much all of its matte / antireflective coating. This is also the reason it was scuffed up so much on the 5 min test. I did the same with one of my paperlikes and yeah, the same thing happened. However, I now use a brand called BERSEM Papernano. They're 9.99 on amazon for 2.

would recommend esr or paperlike for drawing purpose?

Fair enough, I’ve still got this attached and still really happy but each to their own

Got mine today and I'm disappointed. I don't feel my writing experience is better. Even though there's a bit of a rough texture to it while making lines, this texture isn't consistent across all parts of the screen (maybe just an issue with mine?). The texture doesn't slow the pencil down enough to really make a significant difference while writing. It's only notable when making long lines (drawing), but for writing I think it would need to be rougher. To make things worse, I actually dislike how it feels when touching the screen with my fingers. Installation wasn't great. The cleaning accessories are pathetic, smaller than the stuff you get with cheap screen protectors from Ali. The part which you're supposed to stick on first has very low adhesion, so when you try to remove the rest of the protective bit, it's really easy to pull away the whole thing and get a bunch of dust under it. And yes, that's exactly what happened to me. The image degradation is huge. Not only are colors significantly worse, viewing angles are worse as well, to a point where just shifting my head slightly changes the perceived colors on the screen. It's noticeable even while just taking notes on a white background. There's this very grainy pattern across the whole screen, looks like miniature water drops. And although there aren't any straight up reflections, light sources at angles add this hue which ends up affecting a large section of the screen and makes readability much worse. Overall, even if this technically reduces glare, it ads so many negative properties to the screen that the glossy finish ends up performing better overall.
