BELLEMOND | The Original Made in Japan Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 11” (M5, 2025/M4, 2024) | Matte Surface PET Film for Writing, Drawing & Note-Taking | 2 Set

This screen protector works wonderfully for drawing, but the installation left much to be desired. Unlike most protectors, the protective films on either side of this one are cut larger than the screen protector itself. This made it tricky to center and apply without trimming them down first. For my second attempt, I plan to pre-trim the films to match the protector’s size—it’ll save a lot of frustration. Once installed, the performance is fantastic. The matte texture gives my iPad a satisfying paper-like feel, which has made drawing much easier and more enjoyable. I’ve been using it heavily for a week, and it’s holding up great, with no visible wear or scratches on the surface. However, my Apple Pencil nib is wearing down faster than before. Since I keep a stash of replacement nibs, it’s not a dealbreaker for me, especially because the added control while drawing is worth it. If you do a lot of digital art or note-taking, this protector is an excellent upgrade—just be ready for a bit of a headache during installation.

Purchased back in November 2024, but hadn’t gotten around to installing. Installation was that difficult as others are saying. It’s the same as any other screen protector. I bought the wrong one though - I have an iPad Pro 2023 and purchased the iPad pro 2024 version. Please be weary and choose the correct one.

I had a screen protector like this (different brand) on my old iPad. When I got my new iPad, I knew I would be drawing more using Procreate. You can get used to drawing without a paper like screen protector, but it’s more enjoyable with one. I haven’t noticed that it’s wearing down the tip of my Apple Pencil too much - I guess it depends how much you draw with it. I use a matte screen protector on my phone too because it greatly reduces glare. You do loose some vibrancy and peak brightness in my opinion, but it’s worth it to me. It’s a little tricky installing it since there’s no guide included. Just take your time and make sure you get rid of every single dust speck. Preparation is key.

The item is very good quality, lacking a stencil or guides

I've had a lot of these different screen covers over the years. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I didn't have high hopes for this one, for some reason, but it turned out to be a very good screen protector. The texture of the finish is quite nice, gives it a little bit of a grain. Doesn't seem to affect the vibrancy of the screen or if it does it's very slight. Application was a little tricky, but I find that that's always the case with these things. Ultimately, I had a lot of bubbles, but they came out quite easily. Just a little bit of work with the plastic card they include. Quite happy so far.
