Kent Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 13” (M5, 2025/M4, 2024) | Smooth Surface PET Film for Sketching & Note-Taking | Made in Japan | 2 Set

I tried a lot of screen protectors from different brands, this is just the best I have tried so far. I thought I would struggle since it didn’t have alignment frame like the others. But surprisingly installing it was way easier than with other ones.

Excellent

Llevo usándolo varias veces ya y siempre vuelvo a este producto. La aplicación tiene que ser más delicada, pero todo bien. No come mucho mi apple pencil, cambié la punta un año mas tarde

Lätt att sätta på plats, men det blir lite brytningsfel av det, pixlarna ser annorlunda ut. Känslan när man ritar med apple pencil är bra. Har inte testat några andra papperslika skärmskydd så kan inte jämföra med andra.

I am a professional artist that uses my iPad extensively for creating artwork. I’m not a huge fan of the slick screen feeling so I’ve always used the paper textured screen protectors. Which are usually hard to install without getting air bubbles and or dust speks caught under it. They are also incredibly harsh on the Apple Pencil tips. When I install a new paper feel protector it will wear down one of my pencil tips in mere days. I saw this recommended online and thought I would give it a try. I was a little worried about it saying “Kent paper feel” because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as far as texture. I am extremely glad I decided to order Bellemonds’ Smooth screen protectors. Not only was it easy to install- watch the helpful video- it’s different than most companies way and I found I had virtually no air bubbles or dust after applying it to my iPad Pro 12.9. The other extreme plus was the texture itself. It says “smooth” and it IS smooth, but it’s not like a tempered glass or blank screen is. It still has a bit of texture to give your Apple Pencil a fraction of resistance. Nowhere is the gritty feeling of sandpaper from other paper feeling protectors that practically act as a pencil sharpener. Also the Apple Pencil does not make any grooves in the film like other protectors I’ve had as well. Minimal fingerprinting but easy to clean. No glare, but it did dull the colors on my screen just the tiniest bit. Small bit of light refraction as well. So artists- if you are reading this and that’s a game changer for you, I will say that bellemond’s is not nearly as bad as other textured protectors, but there is some. I am ecstatic that this is working so well for me and I will always have this company’s screen protectors on my iPad screen from now on! And no I was not given any free to try ones or am a compensated/paid reviewer. I am simply a happy artist that has finally found exactly what I was looking for.

Ok so this screen protector is pretty awesome. It has a matte, smooth, soft feel that also gives a good texture for writing/drawing. I used other brands before but they had too much texture and felt rough. They also made a lot of noise when using Pencil, but this one is way less. Installation was not so great. Other brands make it much easier. I should have just done it how the others had us do, using my own stickers and stuff. The first sheet ended up right in the trash, so a complete waste. Second one is on, though a little crooked, but has a small bubble/mark that doesn't go away but luckily it's near the edge so it doesn't bother too much. They should really consider changing their installation process because it can definitely be improved. The other thing that sucks about these things in general is the way they affect the screen and how things look. It definitely has that grainy, kinda blurred distortion. I use my iPad for Procreate and art stuff so it sucks because it really affects the colors and stuff, but I guess that's the tradeoff for these. I have yet to find one that does not do this. So overall, despite the things I've listed, I feel like this is definitely one of the best options when it comes to matte screen protectors and you should really try it out!
