Astropad has released Rock Paper Pencil 4.0, a screen protector and Apple Pencil tip kit designed for iPad users. The package includes four custom tips: two graphite‑style tips that mimic a soft 2B pencil for sketching and shading, and two ballpoint tips that feel like smooth gel pens for writing and linework. The reusable, adhesive‑free NanoCling screen protector provides a paper‑like texture, adding friction for better control while remaining removable without residue. It fits most iPads and works with all Apple Pencil models, including the Pro. Priced at $49.99, the kit is available on Astropad’s website, where a "Peel It Off" promotion offers a $20 credit for users who switch and share their old screen protector removal on social media.

The new graphite tip aims to replicate the tactile and audible experience of drawing with a traditional pencil, making it ideal for artists. The ballpoint tip offers a smoother writing surface for note‑taking and precise line work. The screen protector’s microscopic texture enhances grip, while its protective storage sleeve keeps it safe when not in use. Astropad’s NanoCling technology ensures a residue‑free attachment, allowing users to easily swap the protector for gaming or other tablet activities.

Overall, Rock Paper Pencil 4.0 combines a paper‑like screen surface with versatile Apple Pencil tips, providing iPad users a more natural drawing and writing experience at an accessible price point.
