For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Astropad to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an iPad Air, an Apple Pencil Pro, and one of Astropad’s Rock Paper Pencil kits to use with it.
Rock Paper Pencil makes writing on your iPad with an Apple Pencil feel like writing on paper instead of a slippery display, offering a more comfortable and natural writing experience.
The Rock Paper Pencil kit includes a super thin NanoCling screen protector for the iPad’s display and an Apple Pencil tip that replaces the stock Apple Pencil tip. You can put the NanoCling screen protector on while you’re using your Apple Pencil, then take it off and put it away when you want to use your iPad without it. Putting the screen protector on and removing it again takes just seconds, and there’s no sticky residue left behind on your iPad’s screen.
Astropad’s Rock Paper Pencil is normally $45, but there is a Prime Day sale going on right now with a 15 percent discount available. If you do a lot of writing or sketching on your iPad, it’s a deal you won’t want to miss out on.
Astropad has iterated on the Rock Paper Pencil over time, perfecting the paper-like feel to get the smoothest writing experience. There’s a microscopic texture on the screen protector that mimics the feel of paper, but it doesn’t interfere with the vivid colors of the iPad’s display.
The Apple Pencil tip from Astropad is made from solid stainless steel that doesn’t wear down or degrade over time. The tip is 1mm for the perfect pencil feel, with an ideal balance of friction and durability.
If you hate the slippery, unnatural feeling of writing on a hard screen, the Rock Paper Pencil is worth checking out. It can make you forget that you’re writing on a tablet because it feels and sounds like using a pen on paper.
Rock Paper Pencil is compatible with all of Apple’s M2, M3, M4, and M5 iPads, and many older models as well. It works with the 6th and 7th-generation iPad mini and the 7th-generation iPad and later.
