(More customer reviews)This comes with two ways to attach the screen to your mac, one if using double-sided vinyl tape, and the other is to use plastic "hang-tabs".
Well the hang tabs don't actually fit properly on the aluminum macbook this is advertised for (see picture of product), and you have to stick them not to the alumium frame of the screen, but on the black border of the screen. They were obviously not designed for this, in fact the manual shows them being used on a generic desktop LCD monitor, NOT a macbook. When I attached them and tried to slide in the film they all fell off. As they attach with glue this means I can't attach it that way anymore.
Okay, so on to the double-sided tape. It works great for holding the screen in place, except that you can clearly see the tape through the screen, and it gives a nice, distorting rainbow colored patch in each corner of your screen. This is clearly visible up to about 3-4 feet away. The illustrations here too show a generic desktop LCD.
The tape can't been seen from the distance you'd usually be viewing a desktop monitor from, but it looks incredibly horrible on my macbook's screen.
In summary, this is a great product if you have a 13.3" desktop monitor that you want to stop people from viewing, but if you want to use it on a macbook as advertised you could probably do better with saran wrap and duct tape. At least it comes with a microfiber cloth, which seems to be the only thing I'm going to be able to use out of this product.
