Can I use Pixel Pro with a Screen Protector?
Generally screen protectors are not recommended for use with Adonit styluses, as they can interfere with the touch screen’s ability to consistently detect the stylus tip. Adonit styluses are optimized for use without a screen protector. The special materials used in the tip is designed to be softer than an iPad’s hardened glass screen to avoid damaging your iPad’s screen without a screen protector.
If a screen protector is necessary, please know the matte screen protectors, typically having rougher surfaces, might accelerate wearing the tip. Thus, we will recommend any glossy screen protector that has no more than 0.12 mm thickness to go with Pixel Pro.
