Comments on: WiFi in the Park: anti-glare filters vs. hoods http://cafecommuter.com/archives/17 taking the home office out of the home Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:43:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Eric http://cafecommuter.com/archives/17/comment-page-1#comment-9 Eric Thu, 26 Apr 2007 07:21:35 +0000 http://cafecommuter.com/archives/17#comment-9 Well I finally got a refund for this thing from the seller, minus the 15% restocking fee. It was taking so long I had also contacted Amazon about it so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. Anyway save yourself the hassle I went through and don't buy this filter expecting to use it with you laptop outside. On the other hand if you really need a privacy filter then go for it. In any case it seems pretty over-priced. Well I finally got a refund for this thing from the seller, minus the 15% restocking fee.

In order to test this thing I had to peel off protective film from both sides which might make it impossible to return it to Intelligen. Add to that the fact that even if they do take it back they would deduct a 15% restocking fee and I'm pretty disappointed. On the other hand it does work great as a privacy filter, but that's not what I need. Anyway I hope I can get this resolved and get some refund. I purchased it through Amazon.com so if the seller doesn't want to take it back at least I'll be able to attempt a reimbursement claim with Amazon. stay tuned!...

It wouldn't match your MacBook at all. Cool computer and nerdy accessory. Hmmm..... I have a ViewGuard for my MacBook and it works great. The glare reduction helps when working near windows and lights. I purchased mine directly from www.buyviewguard.com but I think you can also get them on Amazon.
