📌 Key Notes

• Model-specific cutouts ensure Face ID, Touch ID, and sensors remain unaffected.

• Paperlike protectors are based on screen dimensions, not just release year names.

• On Paperlike.com, you’ll select your exact iPad model from a dropdown to avoid mismatch.

Is it compatible with M4/M5 iPad Pro, iPad Air (2024), and 10th-Gen/11″ models?

Yes — Paperlike™ 3 comes in sizes that fit:

• M4 & M5 iPad Pro (11″ and 13″)

• 2024 iPad Air (11″ and 13″, same dimensions as Pro models)

• 10th-Generation iPad (10.9″)

• Older 11″ iPad Pro models (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022)

📌 How Paperlike sizes work

• They match screen size & bezel layout, not release year.

• If two generations share the same screen dimensions, the same Paperlike fits both.

• Always select your exact iPad model during checkout for the correct cutouts.

Is Paperlike 3 compatible with older iPad models?

Yes — if your iPad was supported by Paperlike™ 2.1, there’s also a Paperlike™ 3 version for it.

Why It Works Across Generations

• Each version is model-specific, with cutouts for camera and sensors.

• The Butterfly™ Application System — perform the same on older devices.

How to Be Sure

• Check your iPad model number: Settings → General → About → Model Name & Model Number.

• Match this to the Paperlike 3 options listed on our site.

Summary: Paperlike™ 3 isn’t limited to the newest iPads. It’s available for most supported models from recent years, as long as you choose the right size.

Can I use Paperlike 3 with cases, styluses, and keyboard accessories?

Yes — Paperlike™ 3 is fully compatible with most cases, styluses, and keyboards.

Why It Works With Accessories

• Ultra-thin design: At ~0.095 mm, it doesn’t interfere with case fit, Apple Pencil charging, or keyboard covers.

• Edge-to-edge precision cut: The screen protector fits exactly, so it won’t overlap into grooves or latches.

• No change to magnetic or touch functions: Apple Pencil attaches and charges normally, and touch gestures remain unaffected.

When to Double-Check

• Very tight rugged cases: Some cases may press on the screen edges, so check fit after installation.

• Third-party styluses: If they already work with your bare iPad, they’ll work with Paperlike™ 3 — it doesn’t change touch behavior.

Summary: You can keep using your case, Apple Pencil (or other stylus), and keyboard just as before. Paperlike™ 3 doesn’t affect accessory fit or performance.
