If you do want to get your self a paper like screen protector, I highly recommend the PAPERFEEL ones on Amazon. Way cheaper than the £34 Paperlike brand and they are very similar in feel and write. It is important to get a decent one as from experience, a cheap one will DESTROY your pen tips. And to be fair to Paperlike, they feel very nice to write on do not wear pen tips as fast as other cheap brands. PAPERFEEL has this functionality for a way cheaper price.
For cases, I would highly recommend the Inateck keyboard case. It is honestly amazing and the pricing is insane. You can literally compare this to the Logitech combo touch. All the functionality of a laptop, a tablet and a notebook all in one. Very rugged as well keeping that iPad safe and protected. Deserves more love and respect in the iPad accessory range and the price still shocks me. Been using it for about 2 months now and I’m in love. If you really watch out for the price you could pick this up for £45 where the original price is £59. Best buy for my iPad hands down.
If you aren't sure you want a paper-like protector, or more probably, don't want to be stuck with the grainy look you get from one, they make magnetically attachable ones as well...the one I use is super easy to apply, goes off and on in a flash, has a pretty good paper feel to it, and is only 10 bucks right now on that a-to-z place. It's called "ESR for iPad Air 5/4 Paper-Feel Magnetic Screen Protector(2022/2020, 10.9 Inch) and iPad Pro 11 Inch (2022/2021/2020/2018), Write and Draw Like on Paper, Detachable and Reusable, Matte Finish".
Another recommendation is a metal tip for the Pencil. I was very disappointed in the feel of the matte screen protector (I had originally tried an expensive one from Japan on my Pro 10.5" a few years ago, what a waste of money!), but I found a mention of these tips somewhere (ok, it was a review of the SuperNote, which has such a screen and pen from the start) and gave them a try...what a difference! It makes the pencil feel like a rollerball pen on paper with the matte screen. I would NOT use it on the plain glass (it doesn't feel great anyway), though. Same place, 7 bucks for two tips, "Delidigi 2 Pack Pencil Tips for Apple Pencil 2nd Gen 1st Gen and USB-C, Upgraded Metal Wear-Resistant Pen Like Tips, Fine Point Precise Control Tips for Apple Pencil". Apparently they wear out as well, but mine hasn't yet and I've been using it for months. Oh, bonus is it is a 'sharper' tip, so feels more precise than the stock plastic tip!
