The increasing prevalence of visual hacking demands proactive measures to protect confidential information, and privacy screens have emerged as indispensable tools in this digital arsenal. Recognizing the diverse needs of users, Kensington offers two robust solutions: the MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen and the Direct Attach Privacy Screen. As we navigate a landscape where data breaches are ever-present threats, these privacy screens stand as guardians, providing users with a choice between the flexibility of magnetic attachment and the cost-effectiveness of direct attachment, each tailored to meet specific preferences and security requirements. Choosing the right privacy screen is an important step in safeguarding sensitive information.

Kensington MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen 

The Kensington MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen is a user-friendly and versatile solution that redefines how you protect sensitive information. With its innovative magnetic attachment system, this privacy screen offers unparalleled ease of use. No tools or complicated installations are needed; a straightforward application using magnetic strips ensures quick attachment, making it an ideal choice for users who prioritize simplicity. The MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen excels in versatility by seamlessly adapting to your dynamic work environment. With its magnetic design, you can swiftly detach it for collaborative sessions and effortlessly snap it back on to return to a private workspace. This adaptability provides a convenient and efficient solution for balancing collaboration and individual privacy needs. 

Installation 

The MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen stands out for its effortless installation process, made exceptionally user-friendly with a magnetic attachment system. Users can seamlessly snap the privacy screen into place through removable magnetic strips, ensuring hassle-free functionality and enabling swift attachment and detachment. This feature caters to users who frequently transition between private and collaborative settings, providing a convenient and efficient installation experience. 

Flexibility 

One notable advantage of the MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen is its exceptional adjustability. Users can effortlessly attach and detach the screen, allowing them to work in private and safe from prying eyes or seamlessly transition to collaborative work. The magnetic attachment system facilitates this ease of use, enabling users to attach and detach the screen with minimal effort, and ensuring a clear view during collaborative sessions. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in dynamic work environments where privacy needs vary throughout the day. 

Kensington MagPro™ Elite 

Kensington also offers the MagPro™ Elite, which sets a new standard in premium privacy screens, delivering a seamlessly integrated solution for premium devices like Apple and Surface™. Unlike traditional privacy screens, the MagPro™ Elite directly attaches without needing magnetic strips or tabs, offering a refined and unobtrusive experience. This innovative design ensures a discreet blend with the sleek aesthetics of premium devices, such as Apple MacBook and Microsoft Surface™.  MagPro™ Elite seamlessly becomes an integral part of your premium workspace – allowing you to experience heightened privacy without compromising your device's elegance.

Kensington Direct Attach Privacy Screen 

The Kensington Direct Attach Privacy Screen is a cost-effective and dependable solution that stands as a beacon of reliability when it comes to data protection. Crafted with precision and security in mind, Kensington Direct Attach privacy screens distinguish themselves through a direct attachment system, providing users with a seamless and integral defense against visual hacking. The Kensington Direct Attach Privacy Screen is a cost-effective choice – offering a reliable, semi-permanent solution for individuals and professionals who consistently handle confidential data.  

Semi-Permanent and Secure Attachment 

The Direct Attach Privacy Screen from Kensington takes a semi-permanent approach to installation. This privacy screen becomes an integral part of the device by utilizing a direct attachment system with double-sided tape. Once securely fastened, it provides a seamless and unobtrusive appearance, minimizing the risk of unintended detachment. 

Consistent and Reliable Privacy 

Direct attachment with double-sided tape ensures a secure fit, minimizing the risk of gaps or unintended exposure. This makes the Direct Attach Privacy Screen an ideal choice for users who consistently handle confidential information and prioritize a more semi-permanent and reliable privacy solution. 

Ease of Maintenance 

While direct attachment implies a more semi-permanent installation, the Direct Attach Privacy Screen is designed to be easily removed when needed. This facilitates maintenance, allowing users to clean or reposition the screen with care. However, readjustment may require careful handling to maintain the effectiveness of the adhesive. 

Users must consider their specific needs and preferences when choosing between the Kensington MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen and the Direct Attach Privacy Screen. The MagPro™ Magnetic Privacy Screen stands out for its exceptional versatility and user-friendly design – allowing for effortless attachment and detachment. On the other hand, the Direct Attach Privacy Screen provides a more permanent and secure solution – catering to users with consistent privacy needs. 

Ultimately, the decision hinges on factors such as the dynamic nature of the work environment, the need to attach and detach, and the importance of a secure and seamless fit. Both options from Kensington offer robust privacy solutions, allowing users to tailor their choice based on individual requirements for safeguarding sensitive.
