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.

FOR BUBBLE-FREE APPLICATION:(Ensure your device is at least splash-proof or waterproof first…)- Put water into a spray bottle with a teeny tiny bit of gentle dish soap or baby shampoo and shake vigorously to mix.- After cleaning your screen with the included wipe & cloth, spritz it with the soapy water.- Remove the screen protector backing and spray soapy water on the sticky side as well.- Place the soapy-wet screen protector on the soapy-wet screen.- Arrange it until perfectly aligned, and scrape the bubbles out.- Allow to dry before use.This makes the process MUCH easier, as the water + surfactant combo gives you ample time to align the film with your screen, makes the bubbles a snap to push out, and helps “wash out” any trapped dust.___I use a Mobiscribe Wave, a 7.8” e-ink tablet. Every accessory for it is out of stock, likely due to the business preparing to shut down, so I couldn’t find a screen protector that was the right size, but the screen is made of a slightly flexible plastic (not glass), so it’s very easy to scratch. Thankfully I have a paper cutter that can manage thicker materials :)I tried a few other brands of similar papery films including paperlike and another one I don’t remember the name of. The former was too smooth and peeled up at the edges easily, while the latter felt like sandpaper, gritty enough to sand down a Staedtler Mars Jumbo EMR nib in a day or two. Both also felt thin enough for me to get nervous using a ceramic or titanium nib to write.I ended up getting this one (Bellemond Kent, iPad Mini size) after reading that it’s made to feel thicker than others. It’s a little overpriced, but it’s worth it for me, especially given that I don’t have to change it very often (and I was more confident about getting it right after discovering the soapy water trick online).Two aspects go into making a screen protector feel similar to paper: the texture and the cushion. Preference is obviously subjective, but I really like that Bellemond Kent has both a matte texture & plush, notebook-like feel (vs the thinness you’d feel writing on a single sheet of paper on a hard tabletop), not to mention it actually works to protect my screen from scratches, regardless of nib material :)Worth noting: I did also test the original version from Bellemond, but I didn’t like it as much due to the lack of aforementioned “cushion,” apparently only in the Kent Paper variant.I’ll be back for more when I need it :)
