Paperlike™ 3 is the screen protector that makes your iPad feel just right. Built with our signature Nanodots™ technology, perfected through years of testing and creator feedback, it delivers the trusted paper-feel that sharpens every stroke and note. And now, with the Butterfly™ Application System, installation is simpler and cleaner than ever before. Full-surface dust protection, precise alignment tools, and an interactive guide ensure a flawless setup from start to finish. More control, less stress—Paperlike™ 3 is where great ideas flow.

True Paper-Feel

Writing and drawing on glass never felt natural. Paperlike 3 fixes that with our refined Nanodots™ surface, perfected over years of creator feedback. Every stroke lands with just the right resistance, making handwriting sharper, sketches more precise, and creative flow effortless.

Ultra-Responsive with Every Stroke

Your Apple Pencil deserves a screen that keeps up. Paperlike™ 3 is engineered under Apple’s maximum thickness limit, so latency stays low and strokes remain pixel-perfect. The result? Instant feedback and complete control, without the wobble or lag caused by thicker foils.

Protects Your Apple Pencil Tip

Paperlike™ 3 balances friction and smoothness to protect your Apple Pencil tip while still delivering the trusted paper-feel. That means less wear, fewer replacements, and a tip that stays sharp for longer—all while keeping your iPad screen safe from scratches and scuffs.

Easy, Clean, Dust-Free Application

Installing a screen protector shouldn’t be a gamble. The new Butterfly™ Application System (pat. pending) makes it easy: a full-surface dust catcher, Clean Room Effect, precise alignment tools, a reusable Helper™ Tool, and an interactive on-screen guide combine for the cleanest, most reliable install we’ve ever offered.

Protects Your iPad Screen

Your iPad goes everywhere with you, and Paperlike 3 keeps it safe along the way. Built on a durable PET base with a proprietary Nanodots™ surface, it shields your display from scratches, scuffs, and daily wear—without compromising the natural paper-feel. The Optical Silicon adhesive ensures a secure bond that lasts, even with heavy Apple Pencil use. While bare glass can pick up micro-scratches and cheap foils sacrifice feel for durability, Paperlike™ 3 delivers both: trusted screen protection and the controlled, satisfying texture creators love.

Paperlike™ 3 isn’t another generic film. It’s the third generation of a creator-built tool, engineered in Germany, manufactured in Switzerland, and trusted by over a million artists, students, and professionals worldwide.

What is Paperlike 3?

Paperlike™ 3 is a premium, paper-feel screen protector for iPad that delivers a natural paper-feel for handwriting and drawing. It introduces the revolutionary Butterfly™ Application, the easiest, most precise way to install a paper-feel screen protector.

Will Paperlike™ 3 fit my iPad?

Yes, very likely. Paperlike™ 3 is available for all current iPad models.Not sure which iPad you own? Go to Settings > General > About on your iPad to check your model name.

Does Paperlike™ 3 affect Apple Pencil responsiveness or accuracy?

No. Paperlike™ 3 works seamlessly with your Apple Pencil, keeping input low-latency and pixel-precise so every stroke lands exactly where you expect.

Can Paperlike be used on top of a glass screen protector?

You could stack Paperlike™ on another screen protector… but that’s like wearing two pairs of socks. It works, kind of, but you lose the feel. Paperlike™ 3 is made super thin on purpose, so your Pencil tip stays close to the screen — giving you maximum responsiveness and precision. One Paperlike™ on your iPad is all you need to protect your display from scratches and keep your Apple Pencil working seamlessly.

Does Paperlike™ 3 wear down the Apple Pencil tip?

All textured surfaces cause some wear — that’s physics. But Paperlike™ 3 is optimized to minimize it. On average, our customers replace their Apple Pencil tips every six months. For even more durability, check out our Pencil Tips — built for 10× longevity and a tad more friction.

Will it protect my iPad screen?

Yes. The PET base and optical silicon adhesive add a protective layer that helps guard against scuffs and everyday scratches from Pencil use and daily handling.

• Safety Info (EU)

Draw with a smoother glide and keep your screen cleaner with the Paperlike Drawing Glove. Its breathable two-material construction reduces oil transfer, wipes away light smudges, and keeps fingertips free for natural iPad gestures. Designed for long creative sessions and a more consistent Paperlike experience.

The Paperlike Drawing Glove is designed to make long iPad sessions smoother, cleaner, and more comfortable. A microfiber underside helps reduce oil transfer and wipe away light smudges as you work, while the breathable upper fabric keeps your hand cooler over time. Its open-fingertip design preserves natural gestures and direct touch, so nothing gets in the way of your workflow. Built to complement the Paperlike Screen Protector, it supports a cleaner surface, more consistent glide, and a more comfortable creative experience from first stroke to last.

Smoother glide, stroke after stroke

Keep your hand moving freely across the screen with a smoother, more consistent glide. The Drawing Glove creates a reliable point of contact between your hand and iPad, helping reduce the uneven drag bare skin can create. The result is more predictable movement while drawing, writing, or annotating, especially during longer sessions.

Keeps your screen cleaner while you work

Reduce oil transfer and light smudges as you create. The glove covers the area of your hand most likely to touch the screen, while its microfiber underside also acts as a dry wipe as it moves across the surface. This helps keep your display cleaner and supports the consistent paper-feel Paperlike users rely on.

Breathable comfort for long sessions

Designed to stay light and comfortable over time, the Drawing Glove uses a breathable upper fabric inspired by performance sportswear. Heat and moisture can escape more easily, helping reduce the hot, sticky feeling common with less breathable drawing gloves. The result is a glove you can comfortably wear through longer creative sessions and warmer days.

Fingertips free for natural control

Keep direct touch and multi-finger gestures exactly where you need them. The open-fingertip cut leaves your fingertips uncovered while still protecting the main contact area of your hand. You can navigate, zoom, rotate, and interact naturally with your iPad without the restrictive feel of a fully covered glove.

Designed for the Paperlike experience

More than a generic drawing accessory, the Paperlike Drawing Glove was developed specifically around the needs of digital creators. Its materials, cut, comfort, and screen-care function were refined to work naturally alongside the Paperlike Screen Protector and support a cleaner, more consistent creative setup.

• Smoother hand movement: Helps reduce drag between your hand and screen for a more consistent glide while drawing or annotating.
• Microfiber underside: Reduces direct oil transfer and helps wipe away light smudges as you work.
• Breathable upper fabric: Lightweight, airy material helps keep your hand cooler and more comfortable during longer sessions.
• Open fingertips: Keeps fingertips free for natural touch, gestures, zooming, and navigation.
• Designed for Paperlike: Developed to complement the Paperlike Screen Protector and support a clean, consistent paper-feel experience.
• Built for real use: Tested through repeated wear, high-temperature machine washing, and dryer cycles to balance comfort, durability, and everyday practicality.

• Why should I use a drawing glove? A drawing glove helps your hand move more consistently across the iPad screen while reducing direct contact between your skin and the surface. This can help limit oil transfer, keep the screen cleaner, and make long drawing sessions feel more comfortable.

• Does the Drawing Glove clean the screen while I use it? Yes, to a degree. The microfiber underside is designed to reduce oil transfer and also act like a dry wipe as your hand moves across the screen, helping remove light smudges while you work. For a full screen clean, use a dedicated cleaning solution.

• Will I still be able to use iPad gestures? Yes. The fingertips are intentionally left uncovered so you can still use direct touch and multi-finger gestures naturally while drawing, zooming, rotating, or navigating your iPad.

• Is the Drawing Glove breathable? Yes. The upper fabric was specifically chosen for breathability and comfort during longer sessions. It allows heat and moisture to escape more easily than less breathable glove materials, helping your hand stay lighter and cooler.

• Can I wash the Drawing Glove? Yes. The glove was tested through repeated high-temperature machine-wash and dryer cycles during development to make sure it could stand up to real-world use. Follow the official care instructions supplied with the product.

• Is the Drawing Glove made specifically for Paperlike? Yes. It was designed around the Paperlike creative experience, with particular attention to smoother hand movement, reduced oil transfer, screen cleanliness, breathability, and preserving natural iPad gestures.
