PanzerGlass Magnetic 2-Way Privacy Film for MacBook Neo 13-inch
2-Way PrivacyMagnetic AttachSoft FilmMacBook Neo 13"
The PanzerGlass Magnetic 2-Way Privacy Film (PG51875) is a removable privacy screen sized for the MacBook Neo 13-inch, designed for anyone who opens a MacBook on a train, in a café, at a shared desk or in an open-plan office and does not want neighbours reading the screen.
It is a soft film, not tempered glass, and it attaches magnetically, so you put it on when you need privacy and take it off when you want the full, bright picture back. PanzerGlass describes the privacy as 2-way: people sitting to your left and right see a darkened screen, while you look at it straight on.
Before you order: This film is cut for the MacBook Neo 13-inch only. It is not interchangeable with the MacBook Air 13.6-inch film: the Neo and the Air are different models, so order the film named for your exact MacBook.
What's in the Box
- 1 × PanzerGlass magnetic 2-way privacy film sized for the MacBook Neo 13"
- PanzerGlass does not publish a detailed list of accessories included with the film
What It Means in Practice
- Side-view privacy: someone next to you on a flight or in a meeting room sees a dark panel instead of your emails, spreadsheets or client data.
- Removable: because it is magnetic and not glued, the screen goes back to normal the moment you take the film off, for example when you present or share the screen with a colleague.
- Expect the picture to look slightly dimmer straight on while the film is attached; this is how every privacy filter works, so many users raise the brightness a step or two.
- The film also covers the display surface while it is on, which PanzerGlass describes as protection from scratches and everyday wear.
What Will Not Work
- It will not fit other MacBook sizes or generations than the ones listed for this item, and it is not designed for Windows laptops.
- The 2-way filter blocks viewing from the left and right sides. It does not hide the screen from someone standing directly behind you.
- It is a soft film, not tempered glass, so it is not an impact or drop protector for the display.
- PanzerGlass does not publish whether the lid can be closed with the film attached, so plan to take it off before closing the MacBook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take it on and off every day?
Yes. The film is magnetic and PanzerGlass describes it as a portable privacy filter that attaches in seconds, so daily on/off use is the intended way to use it.
Will it fit a MacBook Air 13.6-inch?
No. Each PanzerGlass MacBook film is cut to one screen size. This item is for the MacBook Neo 13-inch. For the 13.6-inch MacBook Air order PG63443 instead.
Does it also work as a screen protector?
While it is attached it covers the display and PanzerGlass describes it as scratch resistant. It is a soft film, though, so it does not replace careful handling or a sleeve when you carry the laptop.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
