Article: Eyes Off: Why Privacy Glass Screen Protectors Are a Smart Choice
Let’s be honest - sometimes you want to keep your phone screen to yourself. Whether you’re reviewing sensitive work emails on the train, entering a card number in a café queue, or simply having a scroll and sulk moment on the sofa, not every glance is meant to be shared.
That’s where privacy glass screen protectors come in - your subtle sidekick in the battle against nosy neighbours and over-curious colleagues.
But what exactly are they, and why might your phone thank you for one?
So, What Is Privacy Glass?
At its core, a privacy screen protector does the same job as a standard tempered glass protector - it shields your screen from scratches, scuffs, and those heart-stopping drops. Ours, made from aluminosilicate glass (also known as high-aluminium glass), is impressively robust with a 9H hardness rating - meaning it's tougher than your average plastic protector and ready to face life’s little mishaps.
But the real magic lies in its discreet filtering layer. To you, the screen looks crisp, clear, and perfectly readable straight-on. But at 28° side angles, it fades gently to black. That means only you see what’s on your screen - and those awkward glances from the person next to you on the bus? Gone.
Key Features of a Privacy Screen Protector:
Left and Right Anti-Peep Technology
Built-in filter narrows visibility to a snug 28° viewing angle, shielding your screen from nearby eyes.
Slim, Sleek Protection
At just 0.3mm–0.33mm thick, the glass is featherlight yet fiercely strong - easy to forget it’s there, until you’re grateful it is.
Premium Tempered Glass
Made from aluminosilicate glass and rated 9H for superior scratch and impact resistance.
Crisp and Clear
With 79% light transmittance, your screen stays bright and beautifully viewable (to you), without compromising clarity or colour.
Touch-Perfect Response
Smooth scrolling and seamless tapping, with no lag or lift.
Easy Installation
Designed for a bubble-free fit, with a fuss-free alignment system included.
Who Needs One?
If you work in public spaces, travel often, or just appreciate a bit of privacy while messaging, browsing or banking - this one’s for you. It’s also perfect for anyone who doesn’t want their screen to become the centrepiece of a stranger’s day.
Think of it as digital discretion - like sunglasses for your screen.
The Trade-Off?
To keep things balanced: privacy filters will slightly reduce brightness and limit clarity from side angles - but that’s rather the point, isn’t it? Some cheaper options may also dampen touch sensitivity, but our ultra-thin design ensures smooth sailing (or scrolling).
