Anyone currently choosing a 13” MacBook Pro from Apple cannot avoid a glossy display. And the 15” MacBook Pro is available with a matte display only at extra cost. For many, this is often an argument against the popular Apple notebooks, because as soon as a few rays of sunlight hit the glossy display, hardly anything can usually be seen. Working directly next to a window or even outdoors becomes almost impossible as a result.

Folix anti-glare film provides a remedy here: it is completely scratch-resistant, reduces distracting light reflections and at the same time increases colour contrast. Unlike many other non-reflecting protective films, colours are reproduced faithfully even through the film. The anti-glare film is cut to fit the MacBooks precisely in shape and contour and is applied dry.

Anyone currently choosing one of Apple’s popular MacBook Pro notebooks has to avoid direct sunlight in order to see anything on the display. With Folix anti-glare film, involuntary working in rather dimly lit surroundings comes to an end: Folix’s anti-reflection layer enables a drastic reduction in light reflections and guarantees crystal-clear, colour-accurate reproduction. As a useful side effect, the hard-coated film reliably protects the display from dirt, grease and unsightly scratches.

Folix can be fixed easily and without bubbles to a previously cleaned display and can be repositioned at any time during installation. The film smooths itself out within three days. The use of the latest precision techniques and a special adhesive layer guarantee a precise cut and optimum edge adhesion. Folix is also extremely durable and can remain on the display for several years with conventional MacBook use. However, it can also be removed at any time without leaving any residue.

Folix anti-glare film for the 13” MacBook Pro is available at an RRP of 37.99 euros including VAT, and for the 15” at an RRP of 42.99 euros including VAT.
