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.

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.
