## Overview

Pen tablets (screenless tablets) have a plastic surface and depending on how you use them are subject to some amount of wear.

## Surface protectors do not interfere with the pen

These protective sheets do NOT interfere with how your pen works. The EMR signal from the pen, passes right through non-metallic materials such as plastic or glass.
