Privacy/glare protector for MBA screen?

Hi,
Has anyone found an add-on privacy/anti-glare filter that fits the MBA screen? I know that there are lots of 13.3" offerings from companies like 3M, but I'm concerned that the MBA's form factor doesn't leave enough space to close the computer with a privacy panel in place...
(I've found one model each on Amazon and eBay, but the descriptions don't leave me with much confidence that anyone has actually tried putting one on a MacBook Air and confirmed that the computer will actually close with the filter in place. I'd love to hear from someone who's actually tried it before I drop $50 on one.)
Thanks!

Thanks, both of you, for the links to suppliers. However, it would be great to hear if anyone has actually tried using a particular brand (successfully or unsuccessfully).
Privacy filters are typically a bit thicker than clear screen protectors, and while it should be very easy to make a privacy filter in a 13.3" size, I'm less sure that that it's easy to make one thin enough that it can stay in-place when an MBA is closed.
The usual method of installing these filters involves adhesive tabs attached to the screen frame:

This is nice because it makes the filter easy to remove, e.g., if you want to share your screen with someone for a few minutes. However, I'm wondering if this installation method works with the MBA given the especially limited clearance between the screen and keyboard when the laptop is closed. (For example, one product I found that mentions the MBA describes this installation method, followed by the concerning sentence: "if the laptop isn't suitable to use the hang tags, use adhesive tape instead.")
Thanks!

Anti-Glare Film for Glass Screen

I want to get a new 15" MBP but I'll have to get a glass screen because I don't want hi-rez.
Has anyone found a good anti-glare film for glass screens that works well?
Anyone think that apple may offer regular rez w anti-glare?

revDAVE,
I installed one of these and I love it. In fact, I just ordered a high-res UMPB with the glossy screen because I can add a matte film to it if I want, but I can't remove the matte finish from Apple's offering if I don't like it.
Just take your time with the installation to avoid any air bubbles.
eww,
I have no commercial interest in the supplier of this product and will not gain anything through this recommendation except the satisfaction of being helpful.

I've bought from them several times for various cell phones and my new Blackberry. They sell them in sets of 3 for about $6.50 for the set. You can also look on ebay for these things.
Good luck and if anybody orders from here, please post so others will know the results.
I'm having trouble looking for them on ebay. I don't what to search for. I kept typing in anti-glare protectors for mp3 players, but there no results.

What is the best privacy screen protector for the MacBook Air?

I am looking for a privacy screen protector for my 13" MacBook Air that will interfere the least amount possible with image clarity and such. I work in a busy university medical center as an intern (so sadly I do not have my own office) and would like to be able to use my MacBook while sitting somewhat close to other people. Privacy is an issue because the information I deal with is protected by HIPAA and FERPA. What are the best privacy screen protectors out there, as far as quality and performance go?

Best there is, is the 3M privacy screen

3M has the entire marked cornered in quality exotic plastic films and screens.

Looking for Screen Protector for A5500-H / A8-50

I'm looking for a good but reasonably priced screen protector for my Mum's new A5500-H. I know there's loads of cheap ones on e-bay but I've tried them for other devices before and found they don't apply very well or have a nasty rough surface that your finger sticks to, making the device unpleasant to use. I've got the model with two speakers, so need cutouts for them at each end. Generally I think the Matte protectors are better as they cut down on reflections, even if they do make the screen a bit less clear/sharp.
I really want a pack of at least two, in case I mess up applying the first one or just as a spare for future. This one's cheap enough to buy two but I've not come across kwmobile before, so they might not be any better than the e-bay ones.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile%C2%AE-protector-ANTI-GLARE-resistant-against/dp/B00KPX8DE2/ref=pd_s...
This on the other hand is quite expensive at £11.69 for two but I think I at least recognise the brand, although there's only one review so not enough information to know if they're actually any good
http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-Screen-Protection-Lenovo-IdeaTab/dp/B00JKOWAUA/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qi...
I was hoping to find something decent around £4 or £8 for two.
Xtremeguard I think are OK and this seems like a good price for three but coming from the US I'll have no recourse if it turns out to be rubbish as it will cost more to send it back than it's worth
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pack-Clear-HD-XtremeGuard-HI-DEF-Screen-Protector-Cover-For-Lenovo-A8-50...
The fact that they're selling this single one for more than that pack of 3, makes me concerned that the latter might not be very good
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-XtremeGuard-LCD-Screen-Protector-For-Lenovo-A8-50-A5500-Anti-Scrat...
Perhaps there's a decent but reasonably cheap option for a different 8" device that I could cut down so that it just covers the actual screen area?

Hmm, I notice that the cheaper Xtremeguard 3-pack says they have a "slightly grippy feel" which sounds like the nasty ones I've used before on other devices. The more expensive Xtremeguard single protector has to be applied with water, which I don't fancy either, so I'm still looking for suggestions.

Screen protector for the zen sle

I am looking for a clear screen protector to fit the screen of my sleek as a temporary until i get a case. Does anyone know where i can find one that isn't to costly and works very well and fits snuggly with the screen of the zen sleek?

I am using the Photodon protector for the TX2. It's honestly a bit small. They will cut them to size. I found videos online and apparently the Photodon interfered the least as far as glare reducing screen protectors go. It does reduce the touch sensitivity some, but I've noticed very little difference after initial adjustment. I like to take my college assignments and reading to the park with the kids and the nice mirror screen does not do well for that, so I went for the glare reducing despite the bit of fuzziness that results. The display works quite nice in spite of it. The inking, which I thought was excellent before the protector, is actually even better. I think the minute amount of texture actually enhances pen action. My two cents. I'm ordering another custom fit to size presuming my replacement machine performs better than my initial. I'm having a ton of post errors. I think it's bios, honestly, but HP offered me a deal I'm having a hard time refusing...still very torn. I ordered this to my specs with nearly every upgrade included. The replacement would not have my fingerprint reader and I've been trying to go without it to determine whether I can live without it. Frankly, in tablet mode, it's a godsend, although it is not nearly as functional as my old Toshiba laptop's was...It would register far more websites and programs than the one included with the tm2...still, logging on from sleep in slate is miserable without it! I tried an app that lets you sign your name instead, but it doesn't seem to like Win 7 64 no matter what I do, including unpacking the MSI and manually placing files in folders.
Sorry, got off topic...but give Photodon a try.

Screen Protector for the TM2

Anyone know of a good screen protector for the TM2 that doesn hinder the touch screen? I have done a search but nothing comes up. Maybe its just too new for now.
Will a TX2 screen protector fit? I don't have a TX2 so I can't compare the screen sizes.
Thanks

Helix - Exact dimensions of screen+bezel and cutout locations for custom screen protector?

Hey Helix owners,
I want to get a screen protector for the Helix, but I don't want the anti-glare one offered by 3M. Photodon prints custom screen protects to dimensions you give them. I was hoping to get the dimensions of the screen+bezel and the cutout locations for camera and tablet button... I'm not able to measure these very precisely myself. Anyone know where this information can be obtained?
I called 3M and they sent me a data sheet for their anti-glare protector, but it contained no info on dimensions and cutout locations.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

Ordered a Screen Protector for Retina

I've been using a ShaggyMac screen protector for my 13" MBA don't leave home without it. We now have a new Retina MBP and just got the 15" MBP Shaggy for it, they don't officially say for Retina as of yet, but it fits perfect. This will protect and clean the Retina display for a few years. Also installing a set of StrutsHD for added durablility...frequent landings and takeoffs.
Now gonna find a new messenger bag...

Personal choice. If you have small kids that use the iPad, you never know what they might drag across the screen. I added one because my grandkids use it.
 Cheers, Tom

Screen protector for TouchPad - yea or nay ?

If you use a screen protector for your TouchPad, please help the community (well, and me too!) by letting us know your experiences, in particular:
What brand?
Ease of application (and removal)...getting the bubbles out? Dust trapped?
Quality of the view (Glossy or matte finish? Does it minimize glare/reflection? Does it give off any distorted effects?)
Feel, and touch screen sensitivity issues?
Many thanks!

1. PhantomSkinz and some el-cheapo cling-type protector off eBay
2. Horrific application for the PhantomSkinz. I will never, ever buy another of their products that requires water to apply. The el-cheapo cling protector was MUCH easier to apply, but I could never get it 100% dust free under the protector. Every time I applied it, there was always dust underneath. So annoying.
I gave up on any screen protector for my TP.

Phone Devil Magic Screen Protector
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VPT5U2
I have used a number of screen protectors and this is one of the best ones so far (from the 20 in a pack for 0.99 cents to the military/space grade ones). The anti-glare feature doesn't get any better than this. The other product that looks good too is the Power Support screen protector. However, the PhoneDevil/MediaDevil are a better bargain. I have the Power Support anti-glare on my iPad and the PhoneDevil/MediaDevil on my iPhone. After installing both I ordered another pack of the PhoneDevil/MediaDevil for my wife's iPhone and for 2 other iPads that we have. I use my iPhone/iPad to process credit cards and customers have to sign on them. It is nice to hand them the gadget without tons of finger prints on the screen. It is also easier for them to see outdoors.
As with any screen protector, the key is to ensure the screen is clean. I recommend that these are installed in the bathroom. Let the hot shower run for a bit so the bathroom steams up. Once the steam has cleared, clean the screen as noted in the instructions. Don't be in a rush. Take your time. Also, use the card provided to remove any bubbles.

Does anyone know if the new iPad fits the Powersupport screen protector for the iPad 2? And if so, where can I get it installed?

Hey, I was just wondering because I am purchasing my New iPad on Sunday! So excited! But I want to order a screen protector before I go and purchase it. I heard you could get screen protectors installed at Best Buy, but I'm not sure!! Please help!

I just got the powersupport crystal fil for the iPad2 and installed it on my new iPad (3rd gen). It fits perfectly and so far it doesn't affect anything (proximity, portrait/landscape rotation). in my opinion it's the best screen protector for the iPhone so naturally I thought i'd give it a go on the iPad (no adhesive, easy install, great quality etc). One note though, I'm not sure if the anti-glare one would work well on the new iPad with the retina display. I know the iPhone 4 uses a different one than the 3GS. Oh and Best Buy doesn't sell the powersupport.

Should I use a screen protector for an iPhone 6 Plus?

I just bought an iPhone 6 Plus and can't decide if I want/need a screen protector on it. I take great care of my phones and do not set it carelessly down on any surface.

Yes.
We were going without for the first time, and after only 2 weekes, my wife just showed me a hairline scratch on hers. She says it could not possibly have happened, but it did.
I just ordered screen protectors for both of ours.
