3M introduces removable privacy filters for iPads

MINNESOTA, USA: Recognizing the essential need for worker flexibility, 3M introduces new Easy-On Privacy Filters for iPads, allowing users to stay private when needed and share content when wanted.

With the growing prevalence of tablets used in the enterprise by the mobile workforce, the need for mobile data protection and "on-the-go" visual privacy has multiplied. Mobile employees are finding themselves in situations where they need to protect confidential company information while working in public spaces, but still require the ability to share content when collaborating with colleagues.

The 3M Easy-On Privacy Filter uses the same microlouver privacy technology found in all 3M privacy filters that provides protection from unauthorized side views and data security threats. Thanks to a new attachment method, this privacy filter features uniquely-formulated adhesive corner tabs. The washable corner tabs allow the filter to be removed and reapplied hundred of times with a bubble-free application. The 3M Easy-On Privacy Filter also comes with a storage folder to protect the filter when not in use.

"The inspiration for the 3M Easy-On Privacy Filter came from market research that revealed that tablet users wanted to protect their screens and the data they are viewing, but they needed the flexibility to also share content when collaborating with colleagues and partners," said Nicola Stevens, business director, Specialty Displays and Projection Business Unit.

3M Easy-On Privacy Filters are now available for the Apple iPad(second, third and fourth generations) in portrait and landscape orientation at $49.99 and for the Apple iPad Mini in portrait orientation at $44.99.
