Over the years, new Apple features have scorched the earth of many a startup, and while the introduction of Sidecar for macOS certainly knocked the company for a loop, they learned an important lesson about diversifying.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, that meant leveraging the Luna Display technology on a variety of different platforms, while adding some innovative use cases, like teleprompter functionality. More recently, Astropad has gotten into the iPad accessories game \u2014 no lasting hard feelings against Apple here, I guess. In June, the firm released Darkboard, a $120 drawing pad for the Apple tablet.<\/p>\n<p>Today it adds Rock, Paper, Pencil to the list. A combo iPad screen protector and Apple pencil tip seems like an odd pairing, but it makes sense. Putting a layer between your screen and stylus doesn\u2019t always have the best result. Astropad is also claiming the two offerings \u201ccreate the most realistic pen-on-paper feeling for iPad.\u201d That\u2019s courtesy of a micro textured matte finish on the screen protector and a metal ballpoint-style tip on the stylus.<\/p>\n<p>The tip screws onto the Pencil like Apple\u2019s proprietary model, while the screen protector snaps on magnetically. The latter bit means it\u2019s not a permanent addition. You can remove, stash it in the included storage sleeve and reuse it when it\u2019s time to draw again.<\/p>\n<p>The package isn\u2019t cheap, at $40 \u2014 though there\u2019s a limited-time discount that will get you in for $32.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing you can definitely say about Astropad: they didn\u2019t let a good old-fashioned Sherlocking keep them down.
