Paper-Inspired Tablet Films

The 'PaperLike' iPad Pro Film Mimics the Feeling of Writing on Paper

Devices like the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil have changed the game for designers, so the 'PaperLike' tablet film aims to do the same. Intended to be applied to your iPad Pro, the 'PaperLike' film works by creating the sensation of writing on paper with your stylus to provide a tactile experience that is far more organic than the feeling of plastic on glass.

Tablets and styluses are ideal for design purposes yet can lack a certain level of authenticity for designers who have traditionally worked with a simple piece of paper and a pen/pencil. Designed by Jan Sapper, the 'PaperLike' tablet film comes as a way to enable users to enjoy the comfort and feeling of writing on paper while enjoying the benefits of digital accoutrements.
