Wish I could give this a 4.5. There isn’t anything wrong with the description, just wish there were a couple changes to make it perfect. I made a few adjustment myself.Overall quality is pretty good. Only have had it for a week, so I can’t say anything long term, but so far it’s nice. I like these shorter height for my personal use. Pretty good value for the money.The one adjustment that would make it a 5 star is if the individual screens were magnetic so you could use magnets to hold things up. I was able to find flexible magnet sheets and cut them to size to fit in the pockets which fixes that for me. Now in addition to the regular sheets I have in the pockets, I can easily stick things with magnets.

I purchased this to use with my ShadowDark games. It's excellent. There are six panels with clear protective pockets. I printed off the tables & references I use, and it lays them out nicely.When closed, it's pretty thick. It appears to have a light magetic closure, so it doesn't open accidentally when traveling.I like the small size, as it keeps me more connectef with my players, while still being large enough to hide my notes & maps from the players.I'm extremely happy with this product.

How you feel about this screen will come down entirely to the height: 6.75 inches. That's fantastic for letting you clearly see your players, exchange props and handouts (or snacks), or look at any maps and/or battlemats you might use. For actually hiding your notes (or the unredacted versions of those maps and handouts)... I've found it's plenty. But really nosy players could no doubt make out a detail or two if they tried, and if you're running games for NBA players, this won't even be a hindrance.With the measurements in mind, there's nothing you could complain about with this screen. The embossed faux-leather and magnetic closures all have a very high-quality feel, and plastic sleeves for your own reference sheets will always be more useful than whatever smattering of random dross "official" screens (and reference sheets) get stuck with. This is a lot of quality in a small package. Emphasis on small, yes, but also on quality. If you're looking for something like it, this is the one you want. As a very short DM, I feel seen with this screen.

I'll say it right up front: this is my sort of GM screen. I like the shape, the size, and the weight. I appreciate that the group-facing side is a neutral weave-pattern, letting me use it with a variety of different games, without it being totally uninteresting. I also like not having art on it -- that may be a controversial take, but I don't want art on a screen grabbing any attention. I want it to do its job of screening material from prying eyes, but otherwise be unobtrusive.On the inside, the six clear panels (which are about 4 3/8" by 6 1/4") give me room to put in things that I need for my game: summaries of rules that I don't want to have to look up, NPC names, or whatever. The plastic is pretty standard clear vinyl, and I have used wet-erase on them without any problem, but I wouldn't try dry-erase for fear of ghosting. The fully-stretched out length of the screen is 36", but it sits open at about 28-30" in width, with the ends coming back towards the GM. This is great for a dining table, but might be a bit long for a card table or similar. This above-average length comes from having six-panels instead of just three or four, as well as the need to leave sufficient space between the screens for the panels to fold into itself without undue stress on the vinyl.The height is just 6 3/4" high, which makes it the shortest GM screen I have, but it still works just fine at hiding maps or NPC stats from the players, while minimizing the wall between us. And I really like that -- I am not a fan of portrait-oriented screens (which are usually about 11 3/8" high), as I feel like I am hidden from the players. Even landscape-oriented screens are usually 9" tall. That said, there isn't as much real-estate on this screen as there is on a full-size screen, so if you are a GM that prefers having a lot of material on the inside of the screen, or if you need a large font, this probably isn't the right choice. Also, producing inserts for it requires a touch more work than 8.5 x 11" screens: for my part, I made a quick MSWord doc with two text boxes, put in the material I wanted, printed them off and then cut them out with a hobby knife. It was a one-time 30-minute process, and now I have the template ready to go for whatever else I want to do with this screen.I like the quality of the material -- it's a heavy-weight vinyl wrapped around what I take to be heavy cardboard inside. I have bent the hinging parts back against themselves and I am impressed with how the double-thick material gives without any hint of tearing or brittleness; it seems likely to hold up to a lot of foldings and unfolding. I have some other vinyl GM screens where that hasn't been the case. It has a good weight, which keeps it pretty much where you put it, and keeps it from collapsing when tapped or shaken. It also seals up when closed, thanks to the mild magnets in the cover. I thought that would be something I didn't feel much about one way or the other, but actually I like it. When I strike this screen, it folds into itself and makes a neat, tidy package. No worry about beating it up while stuffing it in a backpack -- it's going to be fine.In conclusion, I like this screen so much, that it has immediately replaced the screen I was using. It may not be for everyone, but it is certainly worth checking out if you are in the market for a system-agnostic, low-height screen.

I bought this for Shadowdark as I did not like the screen information that came with the official licensed game. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that despite it having shorter height dimensions it was still effective at keeping notes and such hidden from players. It's also a little wider than the standard screen and it's easy enough to print off the proper size information for the inserts.It folds up nice and small which makes travel and storage a breeze. It is also way easier to reach over the screen to draw on mats or move miniatures. Overall I'm very happy with it and may have to switch all my screens to this as my standard.
