So I purchased the smallest size privacy screen (14 inches), because of my need and the cost-effective price. I wanted to use it as a privacy screen for the Kindle Fire HD 8 I bought on Prime Day. I purchased a glass screen protector to protect the touch screen on the tablet. I couldn't find any glass privacy screen protectors made for Kindle Fire 8, and while the plastic film ones may work fine, I didn't want to remove the glass one which protects my touch screen just to add a film one for privacy. I wasn't sure I could put the film one over the glass one.
I also purchased a Fintie tablet cover for my tablet, into which the tablet slides and is held in place with a hook and loop tab. (https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-All-New-Amazon-Generation-Release/dp/B089VKPP38/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VTLOSS8FOH73&keywords=fintie%2Bcase%2Bfor%2Bkindle%2Bfire%2Bhd%2B8&qid=1691428330&sprefix=fintie%2Bcase%2Bfor%2BKindle%2Bfire%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1&th=1) I thought that the privacy screen might slide in on top of the tablet and keep my screen private, even if I had to remove it to use the touch screen.
I purchased this privacy screen for that purpose, created a template of my tablet, and cut it to the correct proportions to meet my needs. Voila! The privacy screen does exactly what I needed it to do. Bonus! The touch screen features are not at all affected and work through both the glass screen protector as well as this privacy screen.
What I really like about this situation is that if I choose to not use the privacy screen, I can take it out and slide it behind the tablet in the case for safe keeping. This screen protector has one side gloss and the other side matte, so I can choose which way I prefer (matte side out). It does darken the screen a little because of the smoke color, but honestly at this point, I hardly notice it at all. In addition, this privacy screen is thicker than what I would have received had I ordered the privacy film. Because of this, I feel that it provides one more layer of protection, and that it will resist scratches as well as be far more durable.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to hack this privacy screen for my Kindle Fire HD 8!

Not Comparable to 3M
The AmazonBasics privacy filter was a disappointment. I have a 3M (21") filter on my work computer, and from anywhere outside the very obvious viewing area, you cannot tell that the monitor is on at all. With the AmazonBasics filter, I can read 10pt text at a 75˚ angle with ease (see images).In addition, I verified the measurements in the listing against the bezel's interior measurements before purchase, and the stated size should have fit perfectly - the bezel measures EXACTLY 24.5"x13.5", plus/minus .125" for tape error; When installing the filter, I had to trim .25" off the bottom for it to physically fit inside the bezel.I won't be returning it since I cut it to size, but rest assured I will be purchasing a genuine 3M to replace it.

ottimo, non riduce molto la luminosità frontalmente, ma lo fa quasi del tutto se si guarda di lato.
