I’ve been using this brand for years when it comes to privacy screens. It takes a VERY hard fall for the screen to crack — it rarely has cracked with me and I usually never have to use the second screen in the pack, I just give it away. As for privacy its awesome! Obviously on the highest setting the screen will be slightly visible. On your average brightness, your screen will not be visible at all. Overall great product and highly recommend. If you place it on correctly and have realistic expectations, you’ll like this product.
