Questions & Answers

Is it possible to get the landscape privacy filter as well as the When I am not using the privacy filter, do I need an extra protection ?

It is necessary to order both filters if you want to have the option to hold your iPad either way. It is important to note that each filter corresponds to how you hold the As of writing, I am not running a "protection filter" on my iPad, but if you would like some protection on the screen when the privacy filter is off, then consider getting While they do not provide protection against dust and such, the privacy filters do provide some degree of scratch protection by virtue of being attached to the glass at the corners.

However, this one is really good to me
5/5

It's all good. Private films are cheaper. You can get them at a cheaper price. However, this one is really good to me. As for sticky corners, I never use them. Often you'll want to share your screen, but it's easily removed when you want to protect your privacy.

The private mode is only available when using the Portrait mode
4/5

The application is easy to fill out! It comes with corner pads that allow you to re-use it over and over, and there is a spare set of 4 if they happen to get dirty. The iPad screen doesn't contain bubbles because it doesn't come in contact with the screen directly. The touch feature on the screen can be accessed effortlessly as well. It will slowly fade into the background after a while. The screen is also less prone to fingerprints than that of the iPad. When it does get dirty, you can clean it with the included microfiber cloth. I only gave it a 4 STAR due to the fact that it only provides privacy in the Portrait Mode, which is a serious caveat to consider. When the screen is in landscape mode, privacy is not possible. Therefore, movies played in a way similar to what you would normally see are available for everyone There is one limitation I want you to be aware of.

The Portrait Filter looks like this
3/5

You can find more information about the Landscape Filter on its own During the ordering process, I ordered the incorrect variant due to confusion on the product page. Here's a shocking fact there are two variations of this product. As you can see from the images, it's not one product that can work in both directions. There is no way this misleading poorly-written page could have made that clearer.

The screen is kept away from prying eyes
5/5

The landscape and portrait versions of this are both available for me. This filter is intended to keep people who detest "shoulder surfers" from browsing their browsing histories, and for people who want to keep their browsing history Due to the way the filter works, there will be a particular orientation when it is used. People on the other side of your screen using the Portrait version will be blocked whenever they are about 30° off perpendicular to your screen. Once they are passed 45 degrees, the entire screen will be black. Although the filter cuts people's views when they're viewing from above, it doesn't do anything to block it. As you rotate the iPad 90 degrees, you will no longer be able to view the iPad's screen from above or below, but it can be seen If you like the way you work in one particular position, then you should buy the filter that is intended for your You will find the following items in the package Please note - It is a filter* - Sheet of eight adhesive pads (4 to be used at the time of installation, 4 to be spares. )*br - To clean your screen, you need a screen cleaning cloth - BRO- Detailed instructions The plastic folder containing the filter provided a place to store it when not in use.

Installation was To dry your screen, you use a soft cloth to clean it, then lay the filter on something flat with the label facing Put an adhesive pad on each corner of the filter and peel the adhesive off the pads. You will need to remove the labels at the center of the filter, clean it with a cloth, then remove the protective tape from each of the four pads after installing them all. Once the bottom edge of the filter is aligned with the iPad screen it is then turned over to align the top edge with the iPad's glass. Be sure that the hole for the home button aligns with the hole for the camera as you guide the top edge down to the The plastic folder that was provided is where you store the filter after you're finished using it. It would be helpful if you saved the little blue plastic tabs that you peeled from the pads when you installed them. These can protect the tab from cruft and dust in the future. The screen worked fine after I moved it from my gen 3 to my daughter's gen 4, as long as you keep it clean and do not get dirt on the adhesive pads.

The filter worked well in blocking prying eyes, however the quality was diminished. a result, I see no reason to keep it up there all the time. Although it hinders the ability to read or to work, it doesn't affect ability to read. This product does not have bubbles, as stated in the product description. My mind sees that as a huge benefit. The worst thing I don't like about screen protectors is having ugly bubbles under them. As the entire filter is not affixed to the iPad screen, there is no chance of bubbles appearing. I think the price is a little high for casual users, but overall, I found the product useful, but I think the intended use is not emphasized enough. It certainly helps people who want to maintain their privacy to the maximum extent possible. A few positives A lot easier to install and remove than having to resort to using a toolbox. Easy to store and reinstall with the included plastic folder. Additional adhesive pads are included. Screen cleaning cloth is a nice touch. - Does not significantly affect the feel of the surface - Does not alter functionality - Negatives While the price is somewhat high, it does not protect privacy when viewed from above or below. While it will eventually scratch, it should last for a long time with careful use. What this does is affect the screen's clarity and brightness to some extent, but it I just updated the post (for 10/29/2014) I have used my screen daily for more than 10 months and it still works very well. The item has a few minor scratches, but nothing too serious. The screen gets dirty when cruft and dust are between it and the iPad, but it's easy to clean. The interesting thing is that I'm still on my first set of adhesive pads and have a few extras left.

Privacy filter that works perfectly and is easy to apply
5/5

It is a good thing about the iPad that you can see the last character at a glance when you are typing your password. I've got a bit of news for myself if I'm in a public place, anyone can see all of those letters as they are being entered. It doesn't really matter to me whether or not they have my Amazon password or my email address. I found this privacy filter to be quick and easy to install, and it was entirely painless, unlike those that bubble up and are very frustrating to install. Practically everyone can follow the instructions, and they are clear and easy to understand. To protect the filter, the tag is sealed in plastic. When you open the package, you see the tag attached to the filter. A cardboard insert provides adequate visual directions that simply state "Apply adhesive corner tabs to this side. " There is only one line of text on the cardboard insert. A set of extra corner tabs is available for later use if needed it. To store the hard plastic storage folder you receive after removing your filter, please use the hard plastic storage folder provided.

I was quite pleased with the quality of It must be kept in mind that this one is to be used in the portrait (vertical) orientation. As you can see in my short video, it works perfectly. In the video embedded below, you can see how quickly the screen disappears from the front, the side, and the back. Unless someone is looking over your shoulder or moves their face very close to the screen, no one can peek into you It is obvious that in such a case, you will not be entering the password.

This is especially useful for travel or Internet usage. Here is the Any public place is the ideal setting for a person who is going to use the iPad. I am also going to leave it on because it seems to be good for protection. In addition to the cleaning cloth, there is a small 3M cleaning pad. When I'm not at home, I find it useful to have the extra amount of privacy and security that I like on my iPad.
