what is going on everybody it is mike
welcome back to tech247 tv we are gonna
go on a little bit of adventure i have
the paper like for the 2021 ipad mini
i've actually never even used a paper
like don't even know what it's like to
write on and we're going to install it
on the ipad mini i'll tell you whether
or not i like it i have no idea what
it's like to write on
and in today's video we're gonna install
it see how easy or maybe difficult it is
kind of a better way of putting it and
we'll see whether or not it's worth
buying it is 40
but i think it might improve the writing
experience on the ipad mini because i'm
looking for a way to do that so let's go
on this journey together
so this is 39.99 and i bought this
directly from paperlike and paperlike is
supposed to feel like writing on actual
paper instead of writing on glass
because that you know there's a lot of
surface friction when you use your apple
pencil and you write on glass it doesn't
necessarily feel i would say natural
maybe probably the best way of
describing it but paper-like is supposed
to improve that feeling
that in addition to if you are someone
maybe who is doing some type of graphic
design or drawing for lack of a better
term you should get better precision
with paper like just because of the
material that it's supposedly made out
of now again i've never used this so
let's see here let's open this up
and see what's inside of the packaging
so what do we have here so we have the
installation tools including a cloth two
different paper likes so either if you
mess up the application process or i
imagine that if this wears down over
time you would have a second one with
you but it's good that you they include
two different ones there's a wipe and
something for dust sticker here's that
apple sticker that i have on the back of
my ipad if one of you guys out there
watching this want this go ahead and
leave a comment and i will pick a random
comment and then send that over to you
so this is gonna be the top
paper like side one
sticky side two okay
guide sticker
so it's going to be like this
first thing to do is place the paper
like face down
and now we're adding the stickers which
will help you do the installation
make sure that there's equal distance
between them yes it is and now i'm
making sure that those are put that
there okay paper open it like a door
boom
oh
take off those little dusty things
now we are peeling off
there's some bubbles here but that's
gonna be okay i believe so what i'm
doing right now is i'm just working out
all the bubbles
and i'm using just like a smudger this
came with a
screen application for my iphone and i'm
just using this
so be aware that you could use anything
that you have i would say probably lying
around the house i
started using my credit card my apple
card my apple credit card um i wouldn't
suggest using that
there's still a couple more
and i think with any
you know screen application
these
little bubbles should work their way out
after a day or so
though
i might not know because you know i've
never done those before
that one and these all seem to be
working themselves or seem to be coming
out
when i'm doing this
okay i think we are good let's see here
let's wipe down the screen
so i can give you a
accurate representation of how it looks
yes you see a couple bubbles but again
i'm not too worried about that because i
think it's going to come out again if i
wanted to i could always just reapply a
new one
let's see here let's give it the old
[Music]
writing test and see how it looks
how it feels actually this
oh wow
is a
test
i'd say it does feel like paper
of paper
like it feels good i like it now i would
say that you know when you put this on
it definitely does make the screen matte
right so if you have i'd say even like
on an ipad pro where you have a kind of
glossiness to the screen this would
actually make it matte textured but
depending on how you're using it that
may or may not matter because i take a
lot of handwritten notes with my ipad
mini and
more so on my ipad mini than i do on my
ipad pro
this i think seems to be a welcome
addition i wonder if it changes off
access viewing
a little bit i mean i wouldn't say it's
too bad but again i'm not viewing my
ipad mini at like a 45 degree angle i'm
typically on top of it like this i'll
put a link down the description in case
you want to pick one of these up but let
me know what you think about it down in
the comments below my name is mike this
is tech247tv do not forget if you want
to win this go ahead and leave a comment
down there hashtag six colors
and i will pick a random person from it
in the next few days we'll talk to you
guys in the next one
