Reviews for moshi 15" PalmGuard Palm Rest Protector for MacBook Pro

I also have the keyboard protector from moshi, I think they make a wonderful product. As far as functionality, there is no difference whatsoever. It obviously feels different than the macbook, but I believe that is the point, so it protects the palm area and trackpad. It fits perfectly and blends perfectly with the macbook pro, I recommend for any mac owners who want to preserve and protect their investment! My only qualm is that it is a bit pricey for a piece of plastic, I don't understand why the moshi products are a little expensive, but all in all it is worth it.

This is by far the best protection on the market. I just installed mine and it is perfect. barely even know its there... defiantly worth the nickel...

cheers!

This is an essential product for those looking to protect the palm rest of their MBP from scratches and dings. I purchased this for my late-2009 15" MBP, and it transfered flawlessly to my new 15" i7 MBP when the other unit had to be replaced; there have been no problems with adhesion.

I do not use the trackpad protector because I found an unacceptable depreciation in responsiveness when I did, but it's absolutely worth buying the product just for the hand plant protector. The protecter does exactly what it's supposed to, and it looks fantastic! I use it along with the Moshi keyboard protector, which also functions very well though can deform a little with heat and use.

I bought thisproduct about 2 months ago for my Macbook Pro. Buy it if you are indecisive! It fits on perfect, comes off easy when you want it to, and leaves nothing behind. Protects both the palm area and trackpad perfect, and the trackpad still works great! I havent wrote a review for anything online before, but i liked this so much i decided people would benefit from it. Again, a must buy for this computer.

I will keep it short. I bought the Moshi PalmGuard to protect my MBP's palm rest area. Two things worried me about the purchase- 1) The color and shape matching with the aluminum, and 2) Putting it on and the after effects.

The first thing I absolutely love about the product is the 100% perfect color matching that Moshi has achieved. And I am very finicky about my MAC. A single dust speck drives me nuts. But the palm guard just blends in and is absolutely unidentifiable unless you run your fingers around the top edge where it ends, just below the speakers, and feel the almost non-existent boundary. The precision cutting on the thing is amazing and there is absolutely no rough or ugly edges poking out over the sides at all.

Putting it on was a breeze! The semi-rigid material really makes aligning it easy. Just get a feel first without removing the protective backing, and then go for it. It just falls into place. I have been using it continuously for over three weeks, and there has been no adhesive spill overs, or corners bending upwards. It is just an invisible layer of protection, and feels great!. I will recommend it to everyone!

About the trackpad protector: The trackpad on the MBPs are glass, and don't need that much protection. Also nothing can provide the same feel on surface as glass. Which is why I chose not to use that part. It is lying safe in my closet. I didn't like the feel of it. Or rather I prefer the feel of the smooth glass. So I left it bare, and it has done me no harm- cosmetic or otherwise. I can't comment if the trackpad guard will reduce the sensitivity of the trackpad, but considering it will cover up the glass, I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I am not risking it. It is important to remember that the palm rest is a dormant area. The trackpad is a functional area, and one that relies on touch sensitiveness at that.

when I first saw/felt this on a friends computer, I loved it. I liked the feeling under my palms when I touch type. The bare metal of the Mac somehow felt bad. With this guard, this was fixed. I also loved the tactile feel of the track pad guard. So I rushed to buy one.
Now I've had them on for a week or so, I've found a great loss on the track pad. I like to point and click anywhere on the track pad and that has become almost impossible now. I now find I have to click in the bottom of the track pad and it renders the apple option of track pad clicking useless. There is no comparison to the tactile response without this track pad guard. As much as I love the product, for that reason alone being such a let down, I've scaled back my rating.

I finished installing my palmguard and I'm not impressed. I love the look of it but it doesn't play well with my satin speck see thru. I managed to squeeze the palmguard on one side under the tab of the see thru. On the other side it keeps lifting and the tab keeps going under the palmguard.

Color looks good ... and Trackpad response is not that great .... i bought it after i read the reviews but disappointed after using ...earlier i used to do just a gentle touch on the track pad but now its hard i am clicking

This PalmGuard is a great solution - it really is sized perfectly, and the precision of the color matching is impressive. I was ambivalent toward the trackpad guard, but tracking texture is an intensely personal matter. I was sad to leave this on the MPB I just sold, but I'm buying another right now.
