MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPad Air and Rock Paper Pencil From Astropad

MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPad Air and Rock Paper Pencil From Astropad
For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Astropad to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an M3 iPad Air, an Apple Pencil Pro, and one of Astropad's Rock Paper Pencil kits to go along with it.

Rock Paper Pencil is a product that's meant to make writing on your iPad with the ‌Apple Pencil‌ feel like writing on a piece of paper rather than on a slippery display. Astropad just overhauled Rock Paper Pencil to make it better than ever, so now is a good time to check it out.

The $45 kit includes a NanoCling screen protector that goes on the ‌iPad‌'s display, and an accompanying ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip that pairs with an ‌Apple Pencil‌. You can put the NanoCling screen protector on while you're using your ‌Apple Pencil‌, then take it off and tuck it away for later if you want to use your ‌iPad‌ without it. It takes just seconds to put the screen protector on and remove it again, and it doesn't leave a sticky residue on your ‌iPad‌.

The upgraded NanoCling screen protector has an improved feel, plus it's thinner. Writing on it is like writing on a stack of papers rather than just a single sheet, and it's a little softer and smoother than before. Using the NanoCling is a pleasant experience that makes note taking and sketching on the ‌iPad‌ feel more natural. Even though it has a unique microscopic texture that mimics the feel of paper, the screen protector doesn't interfere with the vivid colors of the ‌iPad‌'s display.

Astropad also redesigned the ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip that comes in the Rock Paper Pencil kit, and it's now made from solid stainless steel that won't wear down or chip over time. The size of the tip has also been increased, so it's now 1mm instead of 0.75mm. The larger tip balances out the friction and improves durability.

If you dislike the slippery feeling of writing on a hard screen, the Rock Paper Pencil is worth checking out. It does a great job of making you forget that you're writing on a tablet because it both feels and sounds like using a pen on paper.

Rock Paper Pencil is compatible with all of Apple's M2, M3, and M4 iPads, and many older models as well. It works with the 6th and 7th-generation iPad mini and the 7th-generation ‌iPad‌ and later.

We have a Rock Paper Pencil kit, an M3 ‌iPad Air‌, and an ‌Apple Pencil‌ Pro for one lucky MacRumors reader. To enter to win, use the widget below and enter an email address.
