BELLEMOND | The Original Made in Japan Paper Screen Protector for iPad Pro 13” (M5, 2025/M4, 2024) | Matte Surface PET Film for Writing, Drawing & Note-Taking | 2 Set

INSTALL NOTE: The protector is only slightly smaller than the actual ipad, so make sure you have a good alignment and are near the starting edge before you start applying the entire sheet, otherwise you'll get to the end of the iPad and the protector will be hanging off the edge of your iPad. The blue film side comes off LAST. Pull the clear large rectangle film off as you lay the protector down on your iPad while you use the stiff cardboard card to force the protector to lay down. Once the protector is on, use the card to push out all the air bubbles. Finally take off the blue film. The texture rubs off very quickly, however for the price, it's hard to beat. You can get 4 of these (8 total screens) for the same price as other brands for only 2 screens. The first protector worked great for about 2 months before it started getting slick. Pen response was perfect and the texture was a game changer, actually felt like drawing on paper. If you're an artist, this is gonna be great for going from traditional to digital. The ease of install is similar to other protectors, go slow and take care and be patient. Be diligent when removing the air bubbles, leave the blue film on until you get all the bubbles out. The fit for my iPad 13" m5 is perfect. There was the expected amount of decrease in screen quality that you'd expect from a matte, textured protector. So it looks okay and reduces glare slightly. I was able to still fit it into 2 different cases with no problems. It doesn't seem to smudge easily and I never notice any scratches while I'm using it, though there are some scratches on the protector if you try to look really hard. I haven't noticed my pen nib being worn down by the protector. I'm going to try another brand, but I have a feeling, the lack of longevity is going to be offset by the low price, so I'll prolly be back.

This screen protector from Bellemond is excellent! Once applied, it truly feels like you’re drawing or writing on real paper. The texture provides just the right amount of resistance, making it ideal for artists or note-takers who want a more natural experience on the iPad. It also fits the screen nicely and enhances precision when using the Apple Pencil. However, I did struggle with the installation. I would strongly recommend that the seller include an alignment frame or guide to make the application process easier. Without it, I had to reposition the protector multiple times, which unfortunately led to some dust and air bubbles getting trapped underneath. I managed to clean it up the best I could, and thankfully, the remaining imperfections don’t bother me during use. Despite the tricky installation, I still recommend this product to other artists. The drawing feel alone makes it worth it!

first screen protector lasted only a few months before parts of it became so smooth i would have had more texture without the protector at all. The second screen protector had a scuffed application even after following the tutorials (that are very unclear) and after the application was done, the peel off took the screen protector with it. What a waste.

It was really hard to keep the bubbles out of it during installation. I have applied many of these before and did not have this much trouble and I had to throw one away that being said after installation I loved the way it felt it took a while to get all the bubbles out with a card After taking it off reapplying taking it all reapplying. I got a four because I really really loved it after installation.

The protector is good but there were some things that made it a 3-3.5 rating. The matte finish is ok but the paper like texture leaves residue and is harder to clean. The wear when drawing does eat away at the finish quite fast. One of the two protectors provided had two creases in them and leaves a deep indentation when installing. I tried to smooth it out with the blue film still on but after removing the blue film but it just left behind a "deep scratch" from the crease. Intallation was quite difficult as there were no guides provided.
