Customer Reviews

Not as described but better than open screen.
The filter obscures the screen when you away from direct view (as it says) but by no means blacks it out as shown in the photo. For example, someone sitting next you can see what application you have open and title fonts but probably won't be able to read what you are typing.

Also, mine got scratched on the laptop's locking latches when I slid it into place, that wouldn't be so bad if these were some disposable sheets that came in a ten-pack or something, but this is a $35 item!

There are more expensive screens out there but probably don't work any better. That's it.

Gets the job done.
Great product. Does what it's meant too. Just have to make sure you put in on properly (make sure the correct side is facing you - it does make a difference) because the directions on the package don't tell you that there's a right way and a wrong way.

Works well, but falls off easily
I bought the privacy filter after seeing another student at school with one. This filter does NOT black out the screen like the image shows. There were angles that I could still see my screen from that were not directly in front of the screen (like it is supposed to work). For the most part, it does obscure what is on your screen, but don't expect other people just to see a blank screen as is shown.

My main reason for giving the product 3 stars is the little plastic holders that hold the screen on, that you attach to the frame of the screen have very weak adhesive. The top and side holders worked well, but the bottom holders started falling off about a month after I was using this screen, and that is with only using my laptop 3 - 4 times a week for a couple hours at a time.

Every time I opened the laptop, the filter would fall off, and I would have to reposition the holders, and they didn't stay on properly, so finally I just took the filter off and don't use it anymore.
