does the top side have a soft feel, or is it really like a sheet of writing paper? thank you

It's not cottony soft it feels like paper but for diaper changing it does the trick. They keep urine from soaking a changing pad.

It is not as smooth as glass, but it doesn't feel textured either. The best way I could describe it is it feels like soft plastic.

It is soft and lightweight. Not sure why the previous reviewer says it is hard. Maybe b/c it is stiff? It is kind of upholstered feeling. I also bought the case for my middle schooler.

The one I purchased is not rough and noisy, but not as soft as cotton. With a sheet, you do not know it is there.

It is soft. I would prefer it to be a bit more firm but I don't know if there are choices. Comes one way only.

The surface is certainly smooth enough to write on, it's very smooth. It also has about 16 tilt positions between straight up and laying flat.

Soft side. It doesn't stand on its own. I love mine. Use it every day for school.

It is soft and pliable. I also feel that it is a good quality product for the price and have been very satisfied with it.

The top (where the laptop rests) is hard breathable rubber. I actually just tested writing on a piece of printer paper and a ballpoint pen - surprisingly it works, not ideal to compose a novel on, but to jot notes down it should work well. The backside is just hard plastic with two thin rubber strips (for traction on tables) also can be written on and fells like you're writing on.....plastic. Hope that was helpful :)

When writing it's very smooth and does not slip as easily as it would on glass alone. I really can't compare it to paper, but it is like I said before, it's really smooth and no loss of responsiveness.

The paper is pretty flat, with a really really fine texture. It's thick enough that marker ink doesn't bleed to the next page (though it will bleed visibly from the other side of the sheet). It's thick enough that you can't see the next page through it. Hope this was helpful!

No it's actually very soft and clear . It's easy to put in and take out of pockets. And still feels thin which I love!

Hi A. Held!The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options.

no, it is textured a bit. You would need a few sheets of paper or a pad uner your paper to write smoothly.

I'd say its like a 5. Reading at some of the comments I thought it would be write firm but its actually soft for me.
