ID Guard
Verified41 reviews
Not That Secure – I've just tried this. Seems to work well at first but it doesn't take long to not be effective. Despite the claims you can still read through the pattern. Makes it harder to read the print but not impossible. Show details
ID Guard – It has proved very usefule in blocking out personal details on many items. I do wonder how long the ink will last and if there is some way to replenish it Show details
Legxercise .Sometimes later than 30 days before I even open it . Have spent a lot of wasted money with GSD – Very unhappy customer . Seems I will never learn .Only 30 day return is a scam . Show details

This is a great idea – The perfect way to hide your identity so no one can steal your personal information. It saves a lot of shredding. I should know all about that as I have been shredding a lot of old paperwork. Show details
Stamp security – Works well, but must let dry, doesn't work well on papers that have a plastic coating. Colour covers thickly and you may need to run over several times. The container its self is compact and user friendly Show details
Security safe – Great little device to protect our information, should have got one earlier. Removes any personal information with one swipe from all documents, bills, notices and invoices keeping our details hidden from anyone. Show details
Negative reviews
Waste of money – Product is useless and it explains why only 30 day "warranty" refund period is given. Initially, I found that it does not always make the print underneath unreadable. I had one page where you could read it after using the "ID Guard". However, I put this down to the print method used for the document (eg laser, inkjet etc) I tested a few more… Read more
and it was OK,
I purchased a buy-one-get-one-free offer, so I decided not to return it. However, now at 60 days, i have used it on approx 20-25 pages and the ink is nearly exhausted and it is useless. It won't protect anything with the current darkness of the stamp.
I haven't bothered opening the second one, but based on this experience, I estimate that it may be useful for a total of 40-50 pages combined from both stamps, so at $50, this is $1 per page.
Toys for fools who rush in. Fake junk that ironically lowers your bank account – It's just another fake gimmicky product that makes you think it will ease the terrible pain of life. The ink is easily removed with methylated spirits and the original cured ink on your documents remains for all to see. The TV ad is laughable. The word fake is actually in the ad. $39.95c? These useless products sell for as little as $2 each on eBay. Come on, seriously? Show details
Waste of money – Waste of money. In spite of multiple applications all information is still easy to read. Misleading and false advertising. Similar to using heavy black permanent texta as information still legible. Show details

Great product – Love my ID Guard. Much faster than shredding. I do find that on some medical labels that the ink doesn't seem to want to adhere, thus still being able to read names etc. on the label. Overall a very quick and easy solution to identity theft. Show details
Saves shredding everything – The ID guard works well on most paper surfaces but not on paper that has a gloss finish to it,like brochures that come in the mail.However it has certainly cut down on the correspondence that I have to put through the shredding machine. Also it’s a shame it’s not refillable. Show details
love it, very helpful – love it, very helpful to protect my privacy and I feel safer when I dispose of personal mail and packaging of my perscriptions. It makes me feel safer against idenity theives. Show details
This product is a waste of money – Useless, this product does not do what is claimed in their ads. Even rolling over names and numbers numerous times proves to be unsatisfactory - you can still read everything! Save your money for something that works.
It's an excellent invention! – I LOVE it. The only downfall is that, the ink doesn't dry quick enough. But, otherwise..... I find it perfect to wipe out confidential information on paperwork before throwing the papers in the recycling bin.
ID GUARD useless, waste of money – It does not do what they say, unless you roll over something a dozen times, do what it says on tv, you can still see everything, waste of money, never again, and Im being ignored online. Show details

ID GUARD - A GOOD IDEA – ID Guard is everything they say it is. Quick, permanent cover of your information for people NOT to see. A good idea for all those Documents that you feel you need to shred that now can be put in the recycle bin for disposal and no one knows your personal details. Show details · 1

Feel At Ease – Using this id guard stamp is a far for easy and convenient way of securing your personal information so it can be disposed of safely. I used to shred all my no longer needed documents then dispose of them in the garbage not recycling which to me is a grave waste of paper. I did this because my local council did not want shredded paper in the… Read more · 1
recycling bin! The id guard stamp really works, you cannot read the information from either side of the paper after you have covered it with the stamp ! So good.
A Good Buy – This is a product that does as promised. It hides information very well. It is easy to use. Save the need to separate an address etc from the rest of the page for a different disposal method. Time efficient. Show details
Seems to do the job so far – Thanks it seems to do the job on the whole. Some text if slightly raised will still show even if completely black printing. So far so good. We will see
ID Guard – This ID Guard is brilliant easy to use and perfect for covering name and address on envelopes and paper work. Great for protecting your identity from being used and stolen.
It is a great product – THE id did exactly what I expected. It saved a lot of time cutting names and details from recyclable paper. The second order will ensure that I will always have one on hand. Show details

Perfect solution to stop identity theft – Finally! At last! A truly fantastic item to stop identity theft and doesn't require a PhD to use. Personal details can't be seen from either the front or the back. Show details
Only Secrets – The ID is great. One of Globals best products. Simple to use. Hides things so well. No more tearing addresses off letters. Something for every home. Smallness allows easy convenient storage. Show details
Wonderful product to save security – I purchased this item to prevent personal information going into rubbish bin. It is fabulous and exactly what I needed. Recommend it to everyone if you don't have an shredder, I am sure you will be happy.
ID Guard – Perfect! I used to use a permanent marker to black out my details on mailing labels and most times one can still see the details when you put it at an angle. With ID guard, it inks over very well and the security printing completely obscures m details to a point you can read it, so it's great and what I was looking for. Show details
Cover up – I looked for something that I can use if I didn't want to get my shredder out all the time. This does the job. Though may need to do second coverage to ensure complete coverage. Some times you can still read text underneath. This could be a problem as you don't want personal data to be readable. Overall this isn't bad but not perfect. Still need my shredder. Show details
Works exactly as described – I have waited ages for delivery of this product & now keep it on my desk where I can use it anytime to obscure any private details on otherwise unwanted mail. Excellent product. Show details
