FAQs
- Can I use the pencil tips without the screen protector? → ⚠️ We don’t recommend using the ballpoint Pencil tip without the screen protector.
- Can I use the Rock Paper Pencil screen protector if I have a case with a raised edge? → While we haven't been able to test every iPad case out there, we have found that our screen protector works with cases that have a raised edge.
- Is Rock Paper Pencil compatible with a Smart Keyboard? → Yes, Rock Paper Pencil and the Smart Keyboard can be used together! In fact, Astropad's CEO uses Rock Paper Pencil with his Smart Keyboard every day.
- Will I still be able to use the touch screen of my iPad with the screen protector installed? → While the screen protector is textured, the texture will not impede the normal use of your touch screen and functions like your iPad's on-screen keyboard.
- Can I use Rock Paper Pencil simultaneously with another screen protector? → We do not recommend using the Rock Paper Pencil screen protector on top of another screen protector. Doubling up on screen protectors may inhibit Apple Pencil precision, gesture detection, and screen clarity.
The Most Realistic Pen-on-Paper Feel for iPad
Unlike other products that only swap the Pencil tip or the screen texture, we’ve crafted unmatched realism by combining a custom Apple Pencil tip and a precisely engineered screen protector.
reusable, paper-feel screen protector

Meticulously Designed for Artists and Notetakers
Sketch, Paint, Draw
Write, Annotate, Notetake
Ditch the slip: On its own, the iPad’s glass screen is a slippery surface that creates an inconsistent drag on your Apple Pencil.
Smoother, more precise strokes: Rock Paper Pencil adds subtle friction between your screen and Pencil tip, giving you more control with each stroke output.

Digital Art is in our DNA
From the makers of Astropad Studio and Darkboard
For 10 years, we’ve worked closely with hundreds of thousands of digital artists who use the iPad in their drawing workflows.
What we’ve learned? Precision is everything. We know that no two artists work alike — so the ability to precisely control every element of the drawing experience is key. That’s why we built Rock Paper Pencil.
Rock Paper Pencil allows smoother, more precise Pencil strokes on the iPad.
