1.0 out of 5 stars This is the Portrait Filter. The Landscape Filter is a separate product page.

Was confused by the product page and ordered the wrong variant. News flash there are two different variants of this product. It's not one product that works in both directions as the images clearly show. That couldn't of been less clear on this misleading poorly worded page.

This is an interesting product, the idea of a stick-on temporary screen protector that is reusable is as well executed as you'd imagine possible which isn't very well. I guess the idea here would be put it on the iPad in the morning, ride the train to work, take it off and put it in its non-stick folder, then put it back on before riding the train back to work. If you have to do that, then this does afford some privacy but not enough; as others have pointed out rotating the device allows others to see what's on your screen.

I don't like having the floppy gap between the screen and the iPad's glass, it ruins the finger feel, and even from straight on, the screen looks murky maybe even a little creepy, and definitely not the beautiful bright Retina display I paid for.

I've tried this for a few days with daily removal of the screen and the reuse system seems to work OK, but I wonder how long it will before I have to replace the included sticky tabs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only private in the Portrait Mode.
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2013

It is easy to apply!. There are corner pads that allow you to reuse it over and over and it comes with a spare set of 4 if those do get dirty or messed up. No bubbles because it doesn't apply directly to the iPad screen. And you can use the touch feature through the screen effortlessly. After a while you will forget it is there. It also resists fingerprints better than the iPad screen. Easy to clean with included microfiber cloth when it does get messy.
The reason I give it a 4 STAR and a serious caveat to consider is that IT ONLY PROVIDES PRIVACY IN THE PORTRAIT MODE. In the landscape mode, there is no privacy. So movies played like you would normally see them are open for anyone else to watch. Just so you know about that one limitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars But I really like this one

OK. It's expensive. There are cheaper privacy films you can buy. But I really like this one. I don't use the sticky corners. I just slide it in my iPad case over my screen when I want privacy, and I remove it when I don't. It offers great privacy, but it's super easy to get rid of when you want to share your screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, easy to apply privacy filter ...

The media could not be loaded.
One of the good things about the iPad is when you are typing in your password, you can see that last letter. Am I entering in the right password? Yes, if I see that letter briefly. Well, I've got news for myself, if I'm in a public place, someone can see all of those letters as they are entered in. I don't really care to share my Amazon password with them nor that of my email.

The installation of this privacy filter was quick, easy, and seamless, quite unlike the ones that bubble up and have a high frustration level. The instructions are practically intuitive and quite clear. When you open up the package you see a small tag attached to the filter which is sealed in plastic for protection.

It simply says "Apply adhesive corner tabs to this side." There is a cardboard insert that has very good visuals to follow. There is an extra set of corner tabs for later use if you need them. If you decide to remove your filter, there is a hard plastic storage folder included.

FEATURES:

► Utilizing 3M's privacy technology, you can use your tablet in public without revealing confidential information. You clearly see your information on your display while people at your side only see a darkened screen.
► Unique, removable feature allows you to stay private when needed; remove filter to share.
► Quick, bubble-free attachment method allows the privacy filter to be removed and reapplied numerous times.
► Privacy filter protects your device screen from scratches and the rigors of daily use.
► Privacy filter and adhesive corner tabs are washable to remove any dirt or debris.
► Convenient storage folder keeps your privacy filter clean while not in use on your device.
► Limited one year warranty
► Made in USA

I was quite pleased with this filter. You need to keep in mind that this one is meant to use in the portrait (vertical) position. It works perfectly as you can see in my short video. I pan the camera from the front to the side and back and you can see how quickly your screen disappears. The only way one can peek into your screen is if they are looking over your shoulder or move their face close to the screen. If this happens, obviously you won't be typing in that password.

This is perfect for travel or the on-the-go person who will use their iPad in any public setting. You'll simply have to remember that this is a portrait filter. It also appears to be good for protection and I'll probably leave it on. There is a small 3M cleaning cloth included. Very nice filter that adds that extra degree of protection and privacy that I like to have for my iPad when I'm not at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only Partial Blackout for Person Sitting Alongside Leaning In
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2013
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This 3M EASY-ON PRIVACY FILTER FOR IPAD2 offers fairly decent privacy, but it doesn't black out your screen for someone standing behind you (looking over your shoulder) or black out the screen completely for someone sitting beside you and leaning in. It offers privacy for the vertical (portrait) iPad position only--which is actually a nice feature, since you can hold your iPad up in the horizontal (landscape) position to share with anyone and everyone nearby without removing the filter.

Installation is extremely simple. You stick small adhesive patches on each of the four corners of the stiff plastic filter, then gently stick the filter onto your iPad. (Check to make sure you have an iPad 2 or 3rd/4th generation iPad, because the cutouts for the home screen button and front-facing camera must match up.) The filter goes on bubble-free, without any need for a cardboard "squeegee".

The privacy filter is easy to remove. The kit includes a heavy plastic sleeve for storing the filter after you've added the corner stickers, and also includes four extra corner stickers for when the first set of stickers wears out. You need to use some care when removing the filter: on my first attempt, three of the sticky corners stayed on the iPad. Probably that was because I applied the filter on top of existing screen protector film and pressed the corners down firmly. On my second application, I pressed the corners down quite gently, and the stickers stayed on the filter when I removed it for the second time.

Because the privacy filter doesn't completely black out the screen when someone is sitting close by you, I rate it at 4 stars ("I like it" on the official Amazon scale).

One star because there is no option for anything lower. Listing says it is a 3M product, but product delivered is not 3M.
