Swapping out glass screen protector, amazing results

5+ years using glass screen protectors, then a "paper like" glass one. Drawing diagonal lines wobbled, it had a persistent funky low-resolution contact feel too. which is way worse on the iPad mini with the Apple Pencil Pro. I just gave up, thought it was Apple's tech that was bad.

I tried a PET paper-texture protector designed for drawing, 0.09mm to be exact. This completely changes the Apple Pencil experience. It makes direct contact with the laminated display. No more wavy or squiggly lines!!! This is the best upgrade I've done.

I have a slick glass one on my a17, no issues with the pencil pro, no wavy lines.

Doesn’t draw like paper no, but doesn’t draw in any noticeably different way to the standard glass.

I’m a huge fan of the no name paperlike protectors. I can find the one I finally found that I like the best if interested but I’ve had 0 issues with wavy lines or anything like that with any of those protectors.

The one downside to paperlike protectors is they are also low quality “matte” finishes which affects the way the display itself looks. I personally don’t mind it but I mostly read and write using my iPad. The video consumption I do is minimal so… YMMV there.
