BELLEMOND | 2 Pack Kent Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 12.9” (2nd/1st Gen 2017/2015 w/ Home Button) | Smooth Kent Surface PET Film, Reduced Pencil Tip Wear for Sketching & Notes | Designed

I tried a lot of screen protectors from different brands, this is just the best I have tried so far. I thought I would struggle since it didn’t have alignment frame like the others. But surprisingly installing it was way easier than with other ones.

Excellent

Llevo usándolo varias veces ya y siempre vuelvo a este producto. La aplicación tiene que ser más delicada, pero todo bien. No come mucho mi apple pencil, cambié la punta un año mas tarde

Lätt att sätta på plats, men det blir lite brytningsfel av det, pixlarna ser annorlunda ut. Känslan när man ritar med apple pencil är bra. Har inte testat några andra papperslika skärmskydd så kan inte jämföra med andra.

[Pros] + Probably the best-quality screen protectors for the iPad. This brand offers a few different styles with varying tooth so you can find one that fits your tastes. I personally prefer the smooth kent. + Toothy, but not too toothy. Just enough for the perfect amount of control over my strokes without feeling like I'm fighting against the surface of the screen. +Completely mattifying. With these, you won't get a hint of glare. I promise. It's great for when you're trying to write or draw in a well-lit area or somewhere there's a bright light. +Much cheaper than Paperlike. A pack of Bellemond typically runs for under 20 bucks. Under half the price of Paperlike. Personally, I prefer the quality of this brand over PL so the choice would be obvious even if they were closer in price. [Cons] - While the application is easy, it can be a bit annoying. As with all screen protectors, putting the damn things on your iPad will be a test of patience. Do it on a clean, flat surface with no fans running and the window closed. Not your bed. Not in a moving car going down the bumpiest street in the city Learn from my mistakes. Look up a video tutorial on how to apply the protector on YT and watch it at least twice before trying yourself. It's not a huge deal if you make a goof, but know that if the protector is slightly misaligned it will encourage the overhanging edges to lift, allowing dust underneath over time and shortening the lifespan of that screen protector. Make sure you get out all of the big air bubbles, and the small ones too if you're that person. - This will dull the colors. If you're the kind of person who primarily watches TV or movies on your device and cares a lot about how crisp and colorful the screen is, I'd probably pass up on protectors altogether or go for a glass one. - It will wear down your Apple Pencil tip. I am VERY heavy-handed and it took over a year and a half of daily drawing for my pen tip to hit metal. Sounds scary, right? I mean, why would you use a screen protector that actively damages your pen?? Well, Apple Pencil tips are easily replaceable - 20 dollars for a pack of 4. If you replace your tips at the same rate I did, it'll be over 5 years before you need to spend another 20. Keep in mind, Paperlike is abrasive as well so the wear is inevitable. Paperlike screen protectors and a single sheet of that cost as much as a pack of Bellemond protectors and a set of replacement tips combined. A single sheet lasts me about 4-6 months. If it starts to feel slick before then, give it a good wipe down with a screen wipe or some eyeglasses cleaner on a microfiber cloth. It's probably the oils from your hands collecting on the surface rather than the tooth wearing down. Pros and cons considered, this brand doesn't miss. I'd pick it over Paperlike every time.

Installation of the screen protector was easy, no bubbles and is a perfect fit to the screen. It makes the overall writing/drawing experience much easier due to the extra friction and matte finish it gives. I have not noticed any wear to the tip of my Apple Pencil but I have only had the screen protector a couple of weeks so will have to update after longer use if this becomes a problem. I don't press hard with the pencil but am also not making an effort to be overly light handed. I chose this over the PaperLike due to watching reviews where the paperlike is excessively scratched whenever used. I have not had this problem with the Bellemond at all! The only downside that l have noticed is that the screen quality is slightly reduced, however this has not hindered my experience and is barely noticeable, especially when writing notes and drawing diagrams. Also, unlike some reviewers, I did not find the texture of the screen protector uncomfortable to scroll or touch with fingers. Overall I am very happy with this product and definitely recommend it!
