For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Astropad to offer Mac Rumors readers a chance to win an i Pad Air, an Apple Pencil Pro, and one of Astropad's Rock Paper Pencil kits to use with it. Rock Paper Pencil makes writing on your i Pad with an ‌Apple Pencil‌ feel like writing on paper instead of a slippery display, offering a more comfortable and natural writing experience. The Rock Paper Pencil kit includes a super thin Nano Cling screen protector for the ‌i Pad‌'s display and an ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip that replaces the stock ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip. You can put the NanoCling screen protector on while you're using your ‌Apple Pencil‌, then take it off and put it away when you want to use your ‌iPad‌ without it. Putting the screen protector on and removing it again takes just seconds, and there's no sticky residue left behind on your ‌iPad‌'s screen. Astropad's Rock Paper Pencil is normally $45, but there is a Prime Day sale going on right now with a 15 percent discount available. If you do a lot of writing or sketching on your ‌iPad‌, it's a deal you won't want to miss out on.

The tip is 1mm for the perfect pencil feel, with an ideal balance of friction and durability. If you hate the slippery, unnatural feeling of writing on a hard screen, the Rock Paper Pencil is worth checking out. It can make you forget that you're writing on a tablet because it feels and sounds like using a pen on paper. Rock Paper Pencil is compatible with all of Apple's M2, M3, M4, and M5 iPads, and m
