NibSaver Surface Cover for Wacom Intuos Pro Pen and Touch Medium Tablet (PTH660)

I've been using this brand of tablet protector for years, on previous tablets as well. I am someone who does art for a living as well as uses my tablet as my day to day mouse for browsing webpages. Suffice to say when Wacom started adding "paper texture" to their tablets, I was not happy. Paper texture really means sandpaper, ergo, your nibs are gonna get ground down to nothing and you'll have to constantly replace and rebuy them.I even tried buying some of Wacoms "smooth" cover plates, still textured, still sandpaper, still a waste of time.The Posrus one is large enough to cover the active area, I don't notice a decline in sensitivity or quality, and my nibs last forever. Each cover lasts me about 2 years before I have to replace it from general wear and tear.I've seen some reviews that complain about it being ugly, and sure, that's maybe true, but a tablet is a tool, not an art piece. I don't care what it looks like as long as it gets the job done.

I have bought this screen twice. The reason was to preserve drawing nibs in my tablet pen, and wacom's was sold out at the time. The first screen I purchased scratched rather quickly. However my pen nib was pretty worn and had a bit of an edge, so I didn't think that was a fair test. I replaced my nib and got a fresh screen. The new nib has definitely helped, but there are still a couple small scratches in the past three months that I've owned this one, and for me, the scratches are almost as maddening as the regular tablet surface eating up the nibs. It DOES SAVE THE NIBS however. There's only the barest of hints of wear after this 3 month period. If you don't press as hard as me, maybe the scratching won't be an issue for you.

This tablet protector is fantastic. I had a smaller version for a smaller Wacom (which had been eating nibs like crazy, leading to scratches and frustration). I have used the smaller version of this exact product for a long time, up to three hours a day, and the original nib on my pen still looks like new. Mind you my nibs were being eaten and getting sharp and scratchy every two weeks prior to this. I look at the nib sometimes to check and still can't believe that the tip is as perfectly round and beautiful as the day I first put the protector on. I have to be close to 1,000 hours on it.The surface is slippy and takes some getting used to, but that's the tradeoff if you want to save nibs and protect your tablet surface. The protector stays in place with the border adhesive, but is simple to lift, move and re-stick if necessary. Price is great too.

This products does exactly what it’s supposed to. Save your nibs. I went from going through a bib every few days, to not having to change in the month since having this protector. It doesn’t look great as it is a clear protector and you can see the adhesive showing around the edges. However it lies flat,no bumps or air bubbles and overall feels good to draw on. While it is a little smooth for my liking, that’s the reason why it works so well saving nibs. If I had any suggestions for the manufacturer it would be to make an opaque color version to match the color of the intuous, and possibly add a *very* lightly textured version for those of us that want some texture, but not enough to eat through nibs like the normal intuius texture sheets do.

I've used a Porus Nibsaver for a different tablet before (purchased both this one and the one for the other tablet). It fit on my Intuos with ease, the only issue I had was not putting on great and having a small amount of air trapped under the screensaver. From previous experience and several hours of intense use on the Pro, I have never purchased replacement nibs. (previous being used for 2 years). To test how much of a difference using this makes I've used 2 nibs (one felt one plastic) without the screen protector and I've used one of each with it. So far, the 2 without have been severely grinded down to have an angle The one I've used for about the same amount of time has no changes to it. Great product.

TLDR: Two months and 30 dollars later.... In September I ordered a screen protector having had one for the past five years. I was very happy with my screen protector and now I needed to replace it. So I did, I ordered under a different account and received the protector that seemed to have excess plastic outside of the adhesive (see picture). This bothered me and yet instead of complaining to the company I went ahead and bought ANOTHER ONE! Yes, I thought it's ok my protector lasted five years MAYBE I got a lemon. So I placed the order October 6th and did not receive until the 26th. After wondering about my order, I contacted them through Amazon messages. They politely responded that either a replacement or refund would be issued by my preference. Fine, I message back with a few questions unsure what happened with the delay and if it would be recommended to recieve a refund and order at a later date. I did not get a message back in the next few days and to my surprise I didn't even have time to ask for a refund one was already on the way. Now when I open it... I'm greeted by two large DEEP fingernail indents. You can actually feel them while drawing! Was this done on purpose? Seriously, I spent 30 in total I had faith in the company. I could have complained about the first issue but I didn't. I don't even write reviews but I'm so frusterated by what happened. At this price, I could've just bought the Wacom Smooth Texture Sheet or better... made my own which is probably what I'm going to do. Seriously, don't waste your time (probably nearly two months for the protectors combined) and money.
