How well does the apple pencil work?

I'm an avid journaler and love to write down task lists. I am about to buy a new ipad and the apple pencil, but really dislike the idea of a plastic tipped pencil on the ipad screen. It seems not comfortable or natural. Is there a rubber tip option to get the feel of writing with a pen?

You can get third party silicone made tip covers for the tip of the Pencil.

These can be found on Amazon.

You can also use a thin film, matte screen protector for your iPad’a screen.

These are found on Amazon, as well.

While these thin film matte screen protectors make your iPad screen feel more like writing on paper, they reduce the high resolution clarity of your iPad's screen.

Also, matte screen protectors will wear out the Pencil tip faster than without the matte screen protector.


The are the choices.



Good Luck to You!
