3M privacy filters for the protection of data and display screens now also available for iPhone and iPad

Anyone who works with sensitive information should protect not only the monitor on the portable notebook, but also the display screens on today's widely used mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Curious eyes of people sitting or standing next to you at the table in a café, restaurant, transportation vehicles, public areas or open offices can easily read any sensitive data on your display screen in a short moment and then exploit it in any way they please.

Anyone who works with sensitive information should protect not only the monitor on the portable notebook, but also the display screens on today's widely used mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Curious eyes of people sitting or standing next to you at the table in a café, restaurant, transportation vehicles, public areas or open offices can easily read any sensitive data on your display screen in a short moment and then exploit it in any way they please. An ideal protection against such curious busybodies comes from the privacy filters, which 3M is now selling in the Czech market with the dimensions fitting the display screens on mobile iPhones and iPad tablets. The films prevent unauthorized persons from reading the data, because the image on the mobile device can be seen only by the person that works with the device and sees the image without any distortions or other restrictions. Privacy filters on iPhone and iPad do not restrict the touch functions on the device at all and maintain a clean and clear image on the display screen. On the other hand, the 3M Natural View protective films, which 3M is now starting to supply to the Czech market, prevent scratching of the display screen and maintain it as it was when it was new.

The list of specific models which are equipped with filters for iPhone and iPad can be found at www.3m.cz/PCprislusenstvi in the section Films for tablets and smartphones.

Privacy filters used on mobile devices perform the same functions as the already well-known privacy filters on PC and notebook monitors. They are ideal for those who travel frequently and want to work on their assignments without being disturbed, or if they want to view their business or private documents without fear that someone could be looking on their display screen over their shoulder. Filters are easily attached or removed without leaving traces of adhesive on the display screen. The package of filters for iPads also includes a microfiber cloth, which can be used to clean the display before attaching the filter. The privacy filters are available in matte finish and in horizontal or vertical orientation.

The 3M Natural View films ensure a good quality and clean images thanks to a new technology which reduces reflections on the display screen and keeps it crystal clean even in a very bright light. Thanks to the film the monitor will stay without any scratches, thus ensuring the long lasting protection of your equipment. The film is easily attached and removed, without leaving any traces on the display screen. Thanks to the patented 3M technology of Stay-clean Edges, the film is also resistant against smears, stains and against settlements of dust and other impurities on its edges.
