Privacy Screens

Have seen a lot of posts about privacy screens and they all seem to stem around the 2012 and earlier timeframe. I am in need of one for my 13 Macbook pro w/ retina. I travel quite often and tend to use my macbook to do work while flying and I hate for people to see what I am doing the whole time.

So my question is has anyone had any experience with putting on privacy screens and if you liked them where did you get them at?

Thanks in advance

So I got the 3M privacy screen from Walmart and it works well. Fits the screen perfectly and i have no complaints. Just like putting a screen protector on a phone make sure its all lined up and no bubbles are on the sides where the sticky tape goes.

But no matter what you won't have bubbles in the middle which is good, especially for people like me that are horrible at placing screen protectors on.

If you don't want to see a person sitting next to you what are you browsing you can set screen saver settings as 2 minutes or set timings . But the person can peep out in computer sitting next to you , and you can only request him .

Screen saver settings is just meant if you leave the computer , it will start after the time that is set .once you click on screen saver it will go away .

OK not quite sure why you wrote that. It was clearly not what I was looking for in regards to an answer.

Im looking for a privacy screen so when I'm actively on my computer people can't see what I'm doing it they were sitting next to me like on an airplane
