Paperize's magnetic iPad screen protector
Give your iPad the feel of paper.
Video
Ever since Apple started selling the Apple Pencil, you're not the only one who feels that writing and drawing just isn't the same as before. The iPad screen is covered in fingerprints, and writing on it feels kind of slippery too.
But that makes sense when we've been writing on paper for 2,000 years, right?
After the Covid-19 pandemic, Levi, Vincent and David, the founders of Paperize, made a discovery together: students were showing up to school with iPads without knowing how harmful that can be.
Two studies from the universities of Ulm and Tokyo showed that writing on the slippery iPad surface reduces memory and brain activity because the motor feedback of paper is missing.
With support from the Ministries of Education and Economic Affairs, they developed an iPad screen protector with microscopic bits that simulate the surface of paper. With a 94.7% match, they lead the market in paper similarity.

And that's how it was born: a paper-like screen protector you can remove, thanks to its magnetic strips.

Finally, a screen protector that won me over. Before I tried PaperX, I couldn't get on with any screen protector for my iPad. But this writing feel convinced me 100% - never going back!

Attaching an iPad screen protector with magnets instead of glue is simply genius. It holds perfectly, and thanks to the coating I get a super pleasant writing and drawing feel. Perfect for my illustrations and tutorials!

This is probably the BEST screen protector for creatives who want to stay flexible – who love the feel of paper but don't want to give up the iPad's glass surface either. You simply don't get that option with adhesive screen protectors. That's why it's my clear favorite when I illustrate in Procreate 🙌
FAQ
The most common questions about PaperX
How do I clean PaperX?
1. Take PaperX off and rinse it with water, optionally with a mild detergent.
2. Dust off the underside of the magnetic strips.
3. Attach the screen protector & ready to go
When will screen protectors for the new iPad be available?
We've finished development and are ramping up the first production line right now. Just 2-3 more weeks and it's here :)
How much does the Apple Pencil tip wear down?
Any brand that tries to tell you a rough surface doesn't wear down your Apple Pencil is wrong. Most Paperize customers replace their tip every 6-8 months.
Can I use PaperX on a tempered glass protector?
No problem at all. The only important thing is that PaperX's magnetic strips aren't dusty.
Does PaperX really feel like paper?
In our own study with 2,000 of our customers, almost 1,900 reported that they felt little to no difference between pencil/paper and Apple Pencil/PaperX.
Why not just buy regular paper-like screen protectors?
I found a similar screen protector on Amazon!
Why not just buy regular paper-like screen protectors?
Rough surfaces are matte.
Do you want to look at a matte screen all the time, even when watching movies?
Making them as transparent as possible reduces the paper feel
I found a similar screen protector on Amazon!
There are a few copy-🐈⬛s out there selling "magnetic" paper-like screen protectors at rock-bottom prices.
So how do these screen protectors compare to PaperX? 🤔
We secretly swapped our team's screen protectors for one from Amazon/AliExpress to see how they'd react. Spoiler: it was brutal. The reaction video is coming soon. :)
Verdict: Most cheap screen protectors reflect their quality in their price, with weak magnetic hold and an easily scratched surface. From customer reports, we've already heard about heavily worn Apple Pencil tips and sometimes even scratches UNDER the screen protector with cheap ones! 😱
