FAQs

  • Can I purchase the pencil tips without the screen protector? → We are not offering the Pencil tips nor the screen protector as individual purchases. We designed them to work together to create the most realistic pen-on-paper experience for iPad. It takes two to tango!
  • 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


The same great texture of other paper-feel screen protectors (with MUCH easier installation).

✔️ NanoCling Border: Our new NanoCling technology securely bonds your screen protector to your iPad using static cling.

✔️ Matte Finish: Made with nano-texture technology to mimic the texture of paper and minimize glare.

✔️ Removable & Reusable: NanoCling is non-adhesive, bubble-free, and leaves no residue. Enjoy the matte finish of your screen protector for some projects and the crystal-clear display of your iPad for others.

...paired with fine-point apple pencil tips


A super-fine ballpoint tip for precision in every stroke.

✔️ Premium wear-resistant coating: Built from a copper-alloy core + palladium coating. Designed to withstand heavy everyday use.

✔️ 0.7mm ballpoint tip: The same size as a standard ballpoint pen, allows for controlled and precise lines while drawing and writing.

NanoCling: Removable, Reusable,
& Stronger than Magnets

 

Our new NanoCling technology securely bonds your screen protector to your iPad using static cling.

  • Stronger than magnets
  • Easily removable and reusable
  • Non-adhesive, no residue
  • Easy bubble-free application

NanoCling provides the same conveniences as our previous magnetic screen protector, while also providing a thinner bezel, flatter surface, and stronger attachment.

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.

Feels really like pen to paper! The nib completed the experience. The moment it touches the screen film, you can feel the difference! Now I want to get films for my other iPads!!

Works but really causes the screen to be quite matte

It really is just like paper

I hated drawing on my tablet, and even taking notes wasn’t ideal- the stylus slipped all over like ice. Now? I love both taking notes and drawing! I’m getting so much more out of my tablet now it’s amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

In love with the removable screen protector

After using several other brands of screen protectors, this was a breath of fresh air. No complicated instructions. No holding my breath while trying to position it perfectly before setting in down. No worrying about bubbles. It just goes on perfectly. Also, the paper texture is comparable or superior to other protectors I tried. I highly recommend Astropad.

Great product! Took me about two weeks to get use to it but once I did the nib feels great on the screen protector.
