Worst buy ever...
Written by VH from Orange
May 21, 2009
The edge turns black and sticky. The surface became black after a while and you can't even wipe it clean. The laptop looks cheap and dirty with it on. Lucky for me, when I peel it off, there was only some sticky residue on the edge, which I cleaned off using a damp cloth. Don't make the mistake of buying this useless overpriced piece of plastic. It's a waste of time, money, and energy. If there was a rating option of negative stars, this would receive a negative 3 stars from me.

LOVE IT!

I love this product. I bought it the same day I got my mac, put it on, and haven't taken it off since. I originally didn't put it on exactly as I wanted it, but it was easily fixed. I advise you to have someone help you and do the process very slowly so as to avoid bubbles. (You might even be able to get someone in the apple store to apply it for you.) But it works great and doesn't feel sticky around the edges, lies flat and fits perfectly. After 6 months its starting to not be as white as it originally was, so I'll probably replace it soon.
Only 4 stars out of 5 because 5 out of 5 is just overrated.9 of 10 people found this useful

Great Product

I just took my first one off. It didn't leave any marks and looks great underneath. It is not a re-useable product, but eh... what's 20 bucks. Buy one if you don't want your mac to discolor :)

Buyer beware
Written by GG from Blandon

I got this after the top casing to my Mac cracked from normal use. I thought it would protect it better. It seems to have, although I'm left with a few problems. The first on is that it gets dirty and is impossible to clean, and the second is that it leaves a sticky residue if you try to remove it, which is also impossible to clean. I'm going to need to replace my top case now!

keyboard cover too small
Written by DP from Chiang Mai
Sep 18, 2008
I've had the wrist protector on for about 1.5 years...surely needs to be replaced at this point, but it has mostly done its job. The keyboard cover, however, is too small - ideally the thick stitched edge should fit nicely into the groove alongside the keyboard, but it doesn't reach that far. Thus it adds unnecessary pressure between the outer keys and the screen and has left permanent marks on my screen over time. I'd stick with just the wrist cover and skip the full protection pack.

No issues

I've gone through two of these (I'm oily--whatever) and I've not had ANY issues with this product. It does exactly what it says: prevents my white macbook from getting dirty.
Also, it helps protect the edge of the macbook where the little feet from the screen come down and hit the plastic. My cousin's laptop had cracked in these two areas, but the palm rest helped to buffer the "impact."
Lastly, those of you that had issues with the adhesive, not sure what happened there, because I had VERY EASY removal BOTH times, just like it advertises.5 of 6 people found this useful

this product is awsome. If you only use the mousepad and click protecter. the arm sticker is not worth putting one your nice macbook

Very helpful!!!

I just removed the first protection pack for my computer (replacing with a new one) what little residue from the adhesive remained on my computer came off easily. The pad did show dirt but a little of it could be removed using the anti-bacterial wipes from the store. I will continue using this product for a long time to come.

Marware Protection

This really does keep your white computer clean. The only slight problem is that it leaves behind some residue. You have to work to get it off of your Mac.

Gets the job done
Written by TK

I got this with my MacBook last August to prevent it from scratching and staining. It does both reasonably well, except finger and skin oils slowly turn it yellow. I've cleaned it with Windex, 409, bleach, etc, and it stays mostly clean but still isn't pearl white anymore. I use my computer more than the average user, and for it to stay this clean for this long, it was worth every penny.
However, it is NOT "re-stickable". It comes off like a sticker on a hot car window, leaving the slime. It all comes off with a bit of scrubbing though. Just make sure you get it on straight the first time, and you'll be fine. There's NO product in the world that is designed to be peeled on and off a plastic case every day.
I don't understand the other negative reviews, this does what it's designed to do admirably well. As long as you clean it once a month and get it on right the first time, you won't have any problems at all.
