![]() This is Paperlike 2.1, or as the creators call it now, the Swiss Paperlike. This is the newest iteration of Paperlike. You may be wondering why I, someone who admits to using Paperlike for years, am only now reviewing it. Needless to say, I was relieved when I finally got to put a new Paperlike back on my iPad Air. No death grip means you're less likely to get hand cramps. That extra friction means you won't hold your Apple Pencil in a death grip. Paperlike gives your screen a little bit of tooth, similar to a sheet of paper. As a result, my art production severely declined. Within 20 minutes, I massaged my forearm and palm and, inevitably, put my iPad down. Taking notes was difficult, but drawing for an extended time was excruciating. I decided to stick it out for a while because I never went au natural with my Apple Pencil for any extended period. My last Paperlike got pulled up and off my iPad when I switched cases, leaving me with just the bare screen to work with. I bought my Paperlike before I got my iPad - I'd only drawn on a bare iPad screen to compare and contrast the experiences. I knew that when I switched to the iPad, I would need to combat the feeling of drawing on glass. When working on the Intuos, I exclusively used the felt nibs in my Wacom pen. This is because before transitioning to using an iPad for all my digital artwork, I'd come from a Wacom Intuos background. Since I got my first iPad Pro, I've always used it with a Paperlike. This is something that I know all too well. As a result, you tend to tense your hand to compensate for it, which can result in hand and forearm cramps. When you write or draw on an iPad screen, there's a notable lack of friction between the tip of the Apple Pencil and the screen. If you ask any artist why they love matte screen protectors, they will tell you the same thing - less hand fatigue. ![]() ![]() Why artists and note-takers love Paperlike However, the real reason I'm so attached to the iPad is the Apple Pencil - and the real reason I like the Apple Pencil is Paperlike. It's lightweight and can go wherever I do, and when it's paired with a Magic Keyboard, it's a decent laptop replacement. I've never been much of a smartphone user, and as I get older, I find myself drifting away from using my iMac in my downtime.īut I just can't quit the iPad. I don't keep it a secret that my favorite Apple product is the iPad.
