Review on 2022 Apple MacBook Air 13.6" M2 Chip Model A2681 Magnetic Laptop Privacy Screen Filter - Removable Anti Blue Light & Anti Glare Eye Protection Screen Protector by Victor Glatzel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nicely done, could have minor improvements

Screen-Privacy screen-Takes advantage of the magnets on the top rim of the MacBook screen. So, it stays on.-Cut out on the top for the camera.-Strip on the bottom for stability.*Thoughts.-My MacBook has a camera cover. The camera cover overlaps the privacy screen when open, but still works. Like most manufacturers, the design process goes into the original product and not any add-ons. I wish designers would take that into account.-The privacy aspect viewing angles state 60 degrees to the viewer which I think is about right. At 45 degrees that’s just past your shoulder. The opposite side at that point is blacked out, but the closer half is not completely blacked out. But, I’d say the privacy aspect is pretty good.-Colors mute because of the screen, so any color work will look askew. Not a fault of the product.-Fit is nice. The bottom could be a bit shorter and still cover the screen.-Blue Light and Anti-Glare: Hard to tell. I run in NightShift all the time, so I normally don’t get eye strain. It messes up colors sometimes, but for what I’m doing now, it doesn’t matter.-Magnet: No fault of the product, but because the magnet is only at the very top, the screen sometimes comes loose when opening and closing the MacBook screen.-There’s was a front and back called out, but once the stickers are gone, it’s unclear which side is which. But, it doesn’t seem to matter.Bottom lineIt’s pretty good. A longer and deeper cutout for the camera would have helped with my camera cover, but it works. If it were a tad shorter, it would still cover the screen and have less pull when the MacBook screen is opening and closing. All nits. 5 stars.

Pros
  • Protect Personal Privacy -- Block the surrounding visibility outside the 60-degree viewing angle of you, only you can see the contents of your laptop screen while people on either side of it cannot see anything.
Cons
  • The magnetic attachment system used by the privacy screen filter may not be secure enough to prevent accidental detachment during use, potentially damaging the laptop display
