FAQs
- Can I use the pencil tips without the screen protector? → The ballpoint pencil tip is designed to be used with the screen protector to create a realistic drawing experience. When interecting with the native iPad screen, we'd recommend using the standard Apple Pencil tip for the best experience. We don't recommend using the ballpoint tip without the screen protector.
- Can I use the Rock Paper Pencil screen protector if I have a case with a lip, bumper, or 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!
- Will I still be able to use the touchscreen of my iPad with the screen protector installed?→ Yes. Your iPad will still recognize inputs from your fingers during use. You’ll be able to interact with your touchscreen and use features like the on-screen keyboard while the screen protector is attached.
-
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. Doing so may prevent your iPad from detecting gestures and strokes, leading to a reduction in precision during use.
the perfect pair
Unlike other products that only swap the Apple Pencil tip or the screen texture, we’ve crafted unmatched realism by combining a custom Apple Pencil tip and a precisely engineered screen protector.
Rock Paper Pencil isn't just one thing. It's two meticulously engineered components working in perfect harmony:
Nano-texture screen protector. Our screen protector is infused with a microscopic texture that mimics the “tooth” of fine-grain paper to provide the perfect amount of friction for precise control.
Precision-engineered ballpoint tip. Our custom Apple Pencil tip works exclusively with our unique screen protector and delivers a subtle “bite” with every stroke to create a familiar and satisfying drawing experience.
Together, they create the most realistic pen-on-paper feeling for iPad.
the most advanced (and removable) paper-feel screen protector ever
We've taken a scientific approach to create a "just like paper" surface that elevates your entire drawing experience.
✔️ NanoCling application. Securely bond your screen protector to your iPad using static electricity. It’s stronger than magnets, non-adhesive, and leaves no residue when removed.
✔️Matte Finish. The nano-texture surface provides a subtle grip, giving you enhanced control and improved precision while you draw and write.
✔️ Removable and Reusable. Movie time? Peel it off. Sketch time? Snap it back on. Your screen protector can be removed and reused in seconds. Switch between paper-feel and crystal clear in seconds.
a fine-point apple pencil tip that redefines digital drawing
Enjoy unparalleled precision and control that feels as natural as a pen on paper.
✔️ 0.7mm ballpoint tip. The optimal size for accuracy and control, mirroring the familiar feel of a ballpoint pen.
✔️ Premium wear-resistant coating. Built from a copper-alloy core + palladium coating. Built to last, even with daily use.
✔️ Pinpoint accuracy. Draw, sketch, and write with confidence. Unlock a new level of creative expression with a pencil tip that faithfully recreates every line and stroke.

Customer Reviews
i love this screen protector! I’ve tried a number of screen protectors from notable brands, this one is by far the best! I was expecting some scratches but so far there has been very little wear and tear. I’m slightly less convinced by the pencil tips. Great for writing notes and detailed work. Less good when drawing generally - I find the edge of the plastic catches when you tilt the pencil. That being said, it’s still the best tip I own,
The combination of the matte protector and fine point pen tip is superb. It is possible to write or draw at a level of accuracy that is just not possible any other way. I have also added my protector over a quality screen protector and it doesn’t impede performance at all. Very pleased I went with Astropad, unreserved recommendation.
I own both paperlike and RPP screen protector. I must say RPP are way better in term of writing and drawing experience compared to paperlike. I also like the fact that protector are reusable and easy to install. Tips are very like real hand writing experiences and crispy writing sound. Other than competitive price I can’t really think any down side of this protector would highly recommend it if money is not your concern.
What an amazing piece of design, it attaches in seconds and stays in place and totally transforms the user experience, the textured finish is just perfect fit using the apple pencil, it's just like writing on paper.
Thank you!!!
แม้จะรออยู่นานด้วยใจจดจ่อ แต่เมื่อได้ใช้แผ่นปกป้องหน้าจอและหัวปากกา Apple ของ Astropad แล้วพบว่าเป็นนวัตกรรมที่ยอดเยี่ยมมาก ยังไม่เคยใช้แผ่นปกป้องหน้าจอ iPad ของแบรนด์ไหนที่น่าประทับใจเท่านี้ หัวปากกาทำให้อยากเขียนงานบน iPad ไปเรื่อย ๆ มันลื่นไหลมาก
นี่เป็นนวัตกรรมชิ้นที่สองที่ซื้อจาก Astropad ชิ้นแรกคือ Luna display ซึ่งน่าประทับใจเช่นเดียวกัน มันทำให้ iPad กลายเป็นหน้าจอของ mac mini อย่างง่ายดายตอนเดินทางท่องเที่ยว ขอขอบคุณ Astropad ค่ะ
