So-so, doesn't block everything

While it does take away the anti glare, i wanted the privacy part to work. If i move a little bit to the side, I can still see every thing on the lowest brightness. And if I were to move back from it by a feet, I can still see the activities on my screen. In order for the screen privacy to kick in, you have to really to the side to see. If someone is on your side, they will be able to see some of it. If someone is behind you, they will see all of it.

Pros
  • Great value and quality
Cons
  • May reduce screen brightness and clarity

On the fence on my review.

I have bought 3 of these they don’t really let the computer close correctly and makes the battery die when it’s suppose to be closed. On my new computer that has a case it closes a little more. It works really well which is why we’ve bought serval the only problem is the closing of the computer sadly

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • May obstruct some laptop ports or buttons

I am very satisfied

I have used several different Privacy screen manufacturers and sizes over the past 3-4 years, so I know what works for me and what doesn't. I have no problem using this in coffee shops, Recommended!

Pros
  • Protects the screen from dust and scratches
Cons
  • May cause glare and reflection in brightly lit environments

Does not come with webcam cover like advertised

I chose this product of all the others because it advertises how it comes with a webcam cover but it did not come with it so I’m giving it 2 stars for false advertisement. Installment was easy, it came with alcohol pad, wipe, and dust sticker. Magnet sticked on right away perfectly. I can still see some of the stuff on my screen when looking at the sides but I’m just happy I have some privacy. I have to see how long it will last but I’m happy with it, but don’t buy this product assuming it will

Pros
  • No need for adhesive sticky substances
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain laptop models or versions

Easier than one two three

Arrived very fast. Easy install. My Mac actually grabbed it and fit itself almost. Just have to buy a camera cover to prevent spyingPerfect purchase. Keypad cover fit perfect

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • The magnetic attraction may weaken over time with frequent use

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Magnets do not stick enough to hold product

The sticky part does not hold very well and even when it is on the magnet itself is not strong enough to hold up the screen protector for a long. The screen protector itself is just fine but isn’t much help when it doesn’t stay on the screen

Pros
  • Compatible with touch bar and touch ID features
Cons
  • May not be suitable for users with visual impairments

No, no.NO! in my review

Whoever thought up a magnetic mounting system needs to have their head examined. Yeah, it seems really 'neat', and in a way, it is. It really seems to be a decent product, but was actually too dark for me. It's the mounting system that really did me in. I just can't deal with the bottom of the privacy panel always being able to swing off the screen and you might as well forget about closing the laptop.

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove
Cons
  • May cause damage or scratches to the laptop screen over time

needs bottom magnets

HP pavilion x360 14 inch: I'm always on the go so constantly opening and closing laptop, when I attached the privacy screen protector i noticed it raised off the screen a little on the bottom, when closing it would hang and catch on the keyboard buttons. I understand there are stickies and magnets but i didn't want to put anything on the actual laptop screen because I think it would mess up the screen in case i wanted to remove it. Another thing was the magnets were too big when placed as high…

Pros
  • Portable and easy to carry around
Cons
  • May cause distractions or discomfort for users with sensitive eyes

cannot close laptop once protector is on, and bottom of privacy screen doesn't stick to your screen - possibly because the magnetic attachment is only at the top but the bottom of the privacy screen floats off the bottom of my screen because it doesn't attach/stick - very disappointing and annoying considering the price

Pros
  • Provides value for money
Cons
  • The magnetic attachment may not hold up well during travel

Excellent privacy protector

Works as it is described. Webcam cover too. Very satisfied.2 minor points, to which I still don't know the answer:- why are there two extra holes at the top next to the webcam?- do you need to add the anti-glare or is this just additional? (and if so, does the laptop still close when you use the privacy cover on top of it?

Pros
  • Laptop Accessories
Cons
  • May not offer sufficient privacy in crowded, public spaces

Fits perfect. Provides good level of privacy

I was originally looking for a 3M branded privacy filter. I couldn't find any that fit my MacBook Air M2 screen in their range so I bumped into this one. I ordered it with a bit of skepticism but was satisfactorily surprised with the good quality and fit of this filter. It was super easy to install, the fit is perfect and it allows your laptop to close well. I definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May not fit as well with laptop cases or sleeves

Nice addition for working on sensitive material

Works well for those working from home who needs screen privacy. It does prevent the MacBook Pro from closing (maybe less than an inch gap) completely when attached.

Pros
  • Can be easily removed without any residue
Cons
  • May be distracting for users who frequently switch between private and public modes

Not as described best in my review

Mine either arrived broken or is not the item that was described because there are no web cam blocking screens on it. There is a square cut out. But no screen to block the camera. The magnet and stickers make it easy to install but the only reason I paid extra for this screen protector was for the added feature of blocking my camera when it's not in use. So I didn't get what I paid for.

Pros
  • light weight
Cons
  • I returned it because it made the screen look blurry

Great Privacy best in my review

Works exactly for what it was purchased for - privacy. It was easy to install, and the embedded camera is a nice perk. Would give it 5 over all, but find that sometimes I have to reposition it, but that is easy to slide back into place. (It is minor though)

Pros
  • ‎7 ounces
Cons
  • May be difficult to apply without trapping dust or air bubbles

Ok, so this product isn't really for everyone but reading the full product description and recommended settings for best results is a must before buying and giving bad reviews and here's why:There is a recommended 50-75% brightness to get better results as well as stronger "sunshine light" (which means how bright or dark the room is). See pics for different settings test in a bright room. This is a "Tip" in the product page.If you plan on using this in different environment light settings…

Pros
  • Enhances the aesthetics of the laptop
Cons
  • May require additional cleaning supplies or maintenance tools

Expensive compared to others, but has camera block feature

Overpriced compared to amazon basics option. Tested both. Similar performance other than the camera cover on this one. If that’s a must have this is a better choice.

Pros
  • Good. Magnetic Install
Cons
  • The privacy screen may not be as thick or durable as advertised
