Reviews for moshi 13" PalmGuard Palm Rest Protector for MacBook Pro

Can't tell its there and feels like nothing is there too. Easy to install, I would recommend to install the palm portion first then line up the mouse part. I would recommend to friends & I would purchase again.

Well done Moshi!

A great combination of form and function. The die-cut is perfectly aligned to the edges (for me at least) and the protection is IMHO clearly best of its kind, design and class. Also the feel is very natural and it is also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well.

Unlike what others have reported I haven't experienced any decrease in sensitivity in the trackpad with the film in place. Gestures are fine and I find the feel a lot smoother. Also keep in mind that if you only plan to use only the palm rest guard without the trackpad film the trackpad will be slightly sunken as the material does add some thickness to the palm rest area and so the outer edges of the trackpad will obviously feel lower. Something to keep in mind I guess.

Lastly maybe others might disagree but I like the little Moshi logo in lower right corner of the palm rest. It's just perfectly subtle for my tastes.

Although I have none myself ... if I had to point out negatives that others might find when considering this product they'd be as such:

- More or less a one-shot install. You need to be patient and line it up carefully. I start with the bottom edge. Re-applying is out of the question from the looks of it.

- As with all products of this type you need to make sure the area is clean and wiped down prior to install. The material is very robust and clearly isn't one that will allow any trapped air or dust bubbles to escape out to the edges over time. I reckon any bubbles would be permanent. Take your time.

- Doesn't fit well when used in combination with a RadTech Screensavrs cloth and/or silicone keyboard cover cloth as combination is too thick for magnetic latch to secure properly. Doesn't bother me, but it might bug some of you.

That's all I got. Ciao.

When I got got my mac book I was scared I was going to scratch the arm rest area so I ordered this product. To my surprise it worked like a charm, fit perfectly, and blends in with the actual color of the laptop. Its amazing and I recommend it to anyone !

It was scary installing this palm guard because once it sticks...it sticks! Yet it fits perfectly, the silver color matches precisely and it does a great job of protecting one of the most vulnerable areas of my MacBook Pro

I had the Moshi PalmGuard on my previous white MacBook for over a year and a half and I loved it. It kept the palm area clean and unscratched and was extremely easy to install. The material didn't wear in the entire time I used it. I was a bit skeptical about the PalmGuard for the new unibody MacBook because I figured it would be difficult to color-match the material to the aluminum. I decided to give it a shot since I liked the white one so much. So far its been great! It protects the palm area and track pad just like the older version that I had, and despite my skepticism is matches the color perfectly! I highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking to protect their MacBook!
