Matte Ipad Pro Screen Protector

Matte screen protector on 2021 12.9 in iPad Pro?

Do you guys plan on buying some sort of paper-like screen protector on your new iPad Pros? I've been really debating between getting one or not since I'd like to appreciate the new mini led screen but I also would like the nicer writing experience. For reference, I plan on taking all my notes digitally and it will mainly be a note taking device with media consumption as the second use.

I only use tempered glass. The matte protectors always leaves the screen frosted. What's the point of losing all that detail.

level 2

Especially with the new display on the 12.9 model. Why spend an extra $300 to get the better display when you're going to ruin the viewing experience with a frosted screen protector?

Thanks for that. I always used tempered glass with mine but had recently considered getting the paper like kind. I think I'll opt out I don't mind drawing with the glass.

I've been using this since October and can't recommend enough. Matte and tempered glass

I definitely see that point! However the point of having some sort of paper like feel would be nice for writing notes.

No more fingerprints or glare. Although I did mean to order tempered glass and wasn't paying attention and talking and ended up with these.

I know the distorted screen might be annoying but fingerprints all over the screen would annoy me even more. It's especially weird trying use your pencil over fingerprints. Matte doesn't have that issue. There are matte "tempered glass" ones that I'm looking to get. The paper like one ruins the pencil tip too quickly and the screen protectors gets scuffed bug the pencil tip too based on the reviews I've seen.

level 2

I didn't even think about the fingerprints and the writing experience on that. And I don't think I would be buying the actual paperlike brand rather a knock off of it.

level 1

I honestly wouldn't get anything. I've been an iPad only user since around 2016-ish and have never used any type of screen protector of any kind. The screen is meant to be used without one, along with using the pencil that way. The finger prints do suck but a super microfiber cloth is easy to carry around in your bag. Just my opinion. Good luck.

level 2

I was wondering about this. If you have apple care, can you just pay the $50 or whatever to get a new screen if it gets scratched up?

What do you mean by frosting the screen?

I say just get a silicon pencil cover.

I have a matte screen protector but based on my testing, the silicon pencil nib cover can be an alternative to a matte screen protector if writing feel is what you're after.

Moshi screen protectors - on all my iPads - incredible but they are expensive

I've got a removable matte screen protector from Amazon I've been enjoying. It's a thicker material that's reusable, so you can easily take it on and off with no issues. Minimal image distortion as well!

I just got a paper like for my old 12.9 2018 and will buy one for the 2021 I ordered. I moved my note taking for work to my iPad.

The new version of paperlike seems to not distort videos like the last generation did. I can tell it's not as clear as a glass protector though.

level 2

Do you feel like the benefits for note taking kinda outweigh the issue of having a tiny bit of distortion?
