Hi, it's Jillian from lovey loops I've been using my iPad since 2017 for hand, lettering and calligraphy pretty much every day, and I've never used a screen protector on it. Recently, a lot of people have been talking about the paper like film, so I wanted to give it a try, but instead of just buying it I decided to get three different brands of screen protectors and compare them so that I could show you and talk about which one is my favorite. Before we start just a couple of important notes. First, getting a screen protector is a wise idea, because your iPad is a pretty big investment. The screen can scratch, if you aren't careful with it like if you're throwing your iPad in your purse. So it's good for that kind of protection, but for hand, lettering and calligraphy, specifically adding a screen protector can make it feel less like you're writing on glass.
It can make it feel a little more natural and can provide some benefits like providing more resistance to your pen and allowing your hand to glide across the screen more smoothly. I just finished installing the paper like film screen protector, and it feels very rough feels really rough on my hand and very rough on my pencil. It feels like it's going to wear down the tip, and it does feel like I'm writing on paper. There's definitely friction here. So when I'm writing with a brush like something that is supposed to resemble a brush pen like I, would use on paper.
It feels a lot less slippery than writing on my screen before, so that's nice. So having a matte screen protector is great for that friction and the anti glare okay, it does seem like there's a little of a lag or less responsiveness to my movements. It takes like a couple of tries to do that to move things around, so it does seem a little less responsive, but it seems pretty responsive to my pencil tip but yeah right now it just it kind of feels like I'm writing on the sandpaper, like I'm afraid that I'm ruining the tip of my Apple Pencil, so I'll play around with it some more but yeah. It feels very strange. Furthermore, it does not feel like I'm riding on an iPad at all.
Furthermore, it feels like I'm writing on paper, so that is the name at paper like definitely lives up to that, but we'll have to see how it goes with actually using it with my iPad. So we're going to look at this one, which is JE tech, tempered glass screen protector, so first I'm going to remove the paper like one. So this one comes in a very sturdy case. Ok, so I have this one installed. It was very interesting installation I really liked the hinge idea, but I ended up with a ton of little air bubbles that I couldn't really get out, but let's just go ahead and test this out.
This really doesn't feel that different from just writing on the bear screen. So this one again, it just feels, like my hand, is on glass. So the main purpose of this one isn't necessarily to give your hand that feel of writing on paper or even to be anti-glare. The purpose of this one is just so that you don't scratch your iPad screen. So overall, this is a great product.
I can tell that it's very high quality there's no image distortion on the screen on some matte ones. I know that there are some issues with image quality, but this one is ultra clear: there's really no difference in the screen versus the screen without the cover, but this will protect your iPad against any scratches and especially, if you're, using a stylus on your iPad like an Apple, pencil or some other stylus, then it can be more prone to scratches, so I think this is a great one if you are looking for that, but I'm going to try the next one, which is the tech armor screen protection, perfected. Okay, so I finally got this one on it took me a few tries, but it is bubble free and the fingerprints are coming off pretty easily with this cloth. So let's test this one out, I love this one. It is matte, so it is very nice on my hand, it doesn't feel like I'm writing on glass.
It does sort of have that paper feel, but it's not nearly as rough as the paper like one. So it feels a lot nicer on my pencil as well. It doesn't feel like it's going to wear it down very quickly. It's anti glare, so there's really no glare on here. That's affecting my work because it's gnat it gives some texture and some resistance and friction.
So it doesn't feel like I'm writing on glass, which is really nice and my hand, can move really easily without sticking on the glass. So let's compare these three. The paper like one is very matte. It does actually feel like we're writing on paper, and it's a very popular I, just think it's a little too rough for my level of concern with the Apple Pencil again. I have heard that it can wear down the tip of your Apple Pencil I haven't experienced it in the short amount of time that I've been using this, but I can see how that would be a possibility.
It's pretty expensive too, but it does really feel like you're writing on paper and then the tempered glass one. If you provide you perfect protection on your screen, anti-scratch, and it does just look like and feel like a regular iPad screen. So if you just want protection on your screen- and you don't want a matte field and I would go with this one- the installation was interesting. It had that hinge kind of installation which I thought was going to be easier than it was. I ended up with a lot of air bubbles on mine and then the tech armor one is matte, but it's not as rough as the paper like one so just like, comparing how even you can hear the sound of my hand on this one I have the screen protector stuck to the casing.
So on this one versus this one, this one has a lot more texture. So it's a lot more friction and resistance, and this one does feel like paper. It doesn't feel like glass, but it's just a lot smoother, it's also very affordable, and this one came in a 2-pack. So after comparing these three, the tech Armour is definitely my favorite, it's matte, so it's anti-glare. It doesn't really leave any fingerprints, and it provides just enough resistance to feel like you're.
Writing almost on paper, my hand doesn't stick on the glass when I slide it across the screen and honestly after using my iPad for almost three years now, it's kind of exciting to use it in a new way. I plan to keep the screen protector on I will point out that, when I do calligraphy on paper, I most often use brush pens, which means that I use smooth paper like marker paper, so that I don't tear up the tips of the pens. If you use pointed pen or paint brushes like with watercolor, and you typically use a more textured paper than the paper like film might feel more natural to you. But for me, I, like the one that's a little more smooth but still provides enough resistance. So I don't feel like my Apple Pencil is slipping around on the screen.
I hope you enjoyed this comparison feel free to leave the questions or your thoughts in the comments. We'd love to hear them also make sure to subscribe to our Channel and to check out the blog post. That's linked in the description where we'll talk more in depth about this video and other accessories that we use for our iPads thanks again and happy lettering.
