StarTech.com 4-Way Privacy Screen for 12.9" iPad Pro (3rd Gen and Newer)
iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd gen+4-way privacy ±30°Touch-enabledUp to 51% blue light
The StarTech.com 129IP-PRIVACY-SCREEN is a 4-way privacy screen for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation and newer) that blacks out the display beyond ±30° from centre in both portrait and landscape — for professionals who handle confidential data in trains, airports, cafés or open-plan offices.
The micro-louver filter keeps full touch and gesture support, adds an anti-glare matte finish with a scratch- and fingerprint-resistant coating, and filters 40–51% of blue light (380–480 nm). Cutouts leave the front camera, sensors and speakers clear.
Before you order: This is a one-time, self-adhesive filter — it cannot be removed and re-applied. Only the 12.9-inch iPad Pro from the 3rd generation onwards is supported; the 13-inch iPad Pro M4/M5 and iPad Air 13" are different sizes.

What It Means in Practice
- People beside or behind you see a dark screen, whether the iPad is in portrait or landscape — useful on public transport and in shared spaces.
- Brightness drops (60% light transmittance), so you may need to raise screen brightness slightly.
- The matte surface reduces reflections and resists fingerprints.
- The full installation kit makes a clean, bubble-free application easier.
What Will Not Work
- iPad Pro 12.9" 1st and 2nd gen (with Home button), iPad Pro 13" M4/M5 and iPad Air 13" — different screen shapes.
- It cannot be peeled off and re-applied — it is a permanent, one-time installation.
- StarTech does not state Apple Pencil compatibility for this filter.
