the perfect pair

meet the dynamic duo that delivers the ultimate drawing experience

Rock Paper Pencil isn’t just one thing. It’s two meticulously engineered components working in perfect harmony:

Nano-texture screen protector. Our screen protector is infused with a microscopic texture that mimics the “tooth” of fine-grain paper to provide the perfect amount of friction for precise control.

Precision-engineered ballpoint tip. Our custom Apple Pencil tip works exclusively with our unique screen protector and delivers a subtle “bite” with every stroke to create a familiar and satisfying drawing experience.

Together, they create the most realistic pen-on-paper feeling for iPad.

the most advanced (and removable) paper-feel screen protector ever

We’ve taken a scientific approach to create a “just like paper” surface that elevates your entire drawing experience.

✔️ NanoCling application: Securely bond your screen protector to your iPad using static electricity. It’s stronger than magnets, non-adhesive, and leaves no residue when removed.

✔️ Matte finish: The nano-texture surface provides a subtle grip, giving you enhanced control and improved precision while you draw and write.

✔️ Removable and reusable: Movie time? Peel it off. Sketch time? Snap it back on. Your screen protector can be removed and reused in seconds. Switch between paper-feel and crystal clear in seconds.

Enjoy unparalleled precision and control that feels as natural as a pen on paper.

✔️ 0.7mm ballpoint tip: The optimal size for accuracy and control, mirroring the familiar feel of a ballpoint pen.

✔️ Premium wear-resistant coating: Built from a copper-alloy core and palladium coating. Built to last, even with daily use.

✔️ Pinpoint accuracy: Draw, sketch, and write with confidence. Unlock a new level of creative expression with a pencil tip that faithfully recreates every line and stroke.

digital art is in our dna

our passion for art goes beyond pixels and screens

We’ve spent the last 10 years working closely with thousands of digital artists while creating Astropad Studio and Darkboard.

For 10 years, we’ve worked closely with hundreds of thousands of digital artists who use the iPad in their drawing workflows.
