So, you’ve made the switch to writing and/or illustrating wholly with your iPad, but some part of you misses that tactile feel of paper. Nothing could recreate that, right?

Well actually, there is a way. Check out XIRON’s “paperlike” screen protector, which simulates the friction and grainy texture of real paper. It takes a little getting used to in fact, but after a while you’ll feel right at home again. It also has pretty strong anti-glare properties, so you can use it outside without fear of your work being obscured by the light or reflections of things above/behind you — just like a real notebook.

They’ve got a few variations of this screen protector depending on which iPad you’re using:

• iPad Pro — 12.9″ (2020 and 2018 model)
• iPad Pro — 11″ (2020 and 2018 model)
• iPad Air 3 — 10.5″
• iPad 7th gen — 10.2″ (2019 model)
• iPad & iPad Pro — 9.7″
• iPad mini — 7.9″

Each one is $14 on Amazon.
