Privacy Tempered Glass Screen Protector for MacBook Pro 13

What the fit on the MacBook Pro 13 looks like

Protection here is a stack: an oleophobic top coat, the tempered glass body, a shock-absorbing middle and the silicone adhesive that holds it down. The outline is machined for the MacBook Pro 13, so there is no overhang and nothing for a case to catch. It goes on by hand with the guide frame from the box, which holds the sheet square while it drops. The glass takes the scratches the original screen would otherwise collect, and 9H is the rating that covers keys and sand.

Daily use, scratches and replacement

Day to day the sheet is a privacy finish that narrows the viewing cone so side-on glances get a dark panel. Fingerprints wipe off with a dry cloth because of the oleophobic layer, and touch response does not change — the glass is thin enough that the digitizer reads through it unchanged. Expect a year of normal use before the surface starts to look tired; a sheet that has taken an impact will show a star or a crack line, and that is the signal to swap it. Keep the dust sticker from the box until the second sheet goes on, because a trapped speck is the usual cause of a bubble that will not press out.
