BELLEMOND | Kent Paper Screen Protector for iPad Mini 8.3” (A17 Pro, 2024 / 6th Gen, 2021) | Smooth Surface PET Film for Sketching & Note-Taking | Made in Japan | 2 Set

Good quality alternative to paper like. The texture hasn’t smoothed and my Apple Pencil hasn’t been ground down at all. The plastic is soft so it’s very prone to being gouged by anything hard, but I just use a portfolio style case and it holds up well. The texture is nice for control but sometimes a little too abrasive for your fingers. Specifically if you want to use your thumbs for games on the side I find it hard to get smooth movement. For the price it’s a great buy.

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!

I really can't recommend this screen protector enough. Paperlike screen protectors have always had way too much grit for me, but this one had the perfect amount. It feels like writing on pencil sketching paper. The level of grittiness works really well because it's enough for me to feel like I'm writing on paper, while also not being super hard on my Apple Pencil tip. I've been using these screen protectors for about two years now and I've only had to change the tip of my pencil once. I will say though, that I always struggle with putting these on my ipad. It's great that the pack comes with two screen protectors, because I always mess up the first one or get bubbles under it, and have to redo it with the second. I still think it's worth the price, because once I get one on correctly it's easily the best screen protector I've ever used.

Urun kaliteli ve iki adet koruma ekrani cikiyor. bir tanesini yedek olarak tutabilirsiniz. Kagit hissiyatini veriyor parmak izi tutmuyor. Uzun sureli kullanimda ne olur bilemem. Tek negatif yani kalem ucunu eskitebilir yenilemeniz gerekebilir. Ekranda ayriyeten noktali bir goruntu olusturuyor fakat renklerde ve parlaklikta ciddi bir kayip farketmedim.

Excellent

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.

Good

Schreibgefühl: Die Folie hält, was sie verspricht und trägt definitiv dazu bei, das Schreiben auf dem iPad zu verbessern. Es hört und fühlt sich in etwa wie Papier an und meine Schrift wird automatisch ordentlicher. Gerade für Leute, die beim Schreiben normalerweise etwas fester aufdrücken, kann ich die Folie echt empfehlen, da mehr Widerstand da ist. Zudem rutscht der Stift auf der rauen Oberfläche nicht so stark umher. Die Hand kann während des Schreibens viel besser bewegt werden - eben wie auf Papier. Bildqualität: Die Bildqualität ist, wie zu erwarten, deutlich schlechter und es wirkt „krisselig“ bzw. unscharf. Wird das Gerät nur für Arbeit/Schule/Uni genutzt, ist das in Ordnung, für den Privatgebrauch würde ich die Folie nicht empfehlen, denn das Bild ist wirklich deutlich schlechter. Zudem muss das iPads durch die Folie etwas heller eingestellt werden, was sich natürlich auf die Akkuleistung auswirkt. Das Anbringen der Folie: Für die beiden Folien ist jeweils ein Putz-Kit dabei, welches allerdings mit Ausnahme des Staubklebers unbrauchbar ist und den Bildschirm nur verschmiert. Das Anbringen der Folie an sich, hat komplett problemlos funktioniert und Fusseln und Luftblasen unter der Folie sind eigentlich nicht vorhanden. Qualität der Folie: Auf den ersten Blick und beim ersten Testen macht die Folie einen wirklich guten Eindruck. Allerdings hatte ich bereits nach zwei Tagen einen Kratzer drin - trotz ganz normaler Benutzung. Bei einer Schutzfolie ist das an sich ein No-Go. Auswirkung auf den Apple-Pencil: Ich benutze die Folie erst seit ein paar Tagen - trotzdem sieht es so aus, als würde die Spitze des Pencils ein wenig abgetragen werden. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis: Alles in allem ist der Preis mit umgerechnet 13€ pro Folie kaum zu beanstanden, denn mein Hauptentscheidungsgrund, das Schreibgefühl, wurde eins zu eins erfüllt. Fazit: Zusammengefasst kann ich sagen, dass sich die Folie für mich wirklich lohnt. Ich nutze das iPad zum Notizenmachen, für Vorlesungsmitschriften und Hefteinträge und dafür ist sie wirklich toll und erleichtert das Schreiben ungemein. Aufgrund der wirklich viel schlechteren Bildqualität und dem Kratzer nach so kurzer Zeit muss ich der Folie allerdings einen Stern Abzug geben.
