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

I just purchased the 13.3" MacBook Pro to replace my 3-year-old MacBook. One of the main problems I had with my old machine was that after a while, the palm-resting areas on either side of the trackpad became worn and discolored. I'm very into preserving the out-of-box loveliness of my computer, so I was definitely interested in something that would prevent this (without compromising the overall appeal of the computer).

The moshi PalmGuard is the only product available at the Apple Store to do this, and so far, it does its job well. It blends well with the aluminum frame and also fits pretty well (it's definitely NOT a perfect fit, but it's close enough to not be problematic). The PalmGuard also comes with a trackpad cover, which I have not placed after reading reviews stating that it affects the sensitivity of the trackpad, which I believe. The material is definitely thin, but not thin enough to not affect the trackpad. And, because it's NOT attached to the the PalmGuard, it IS optional.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to keep their laptop as pristine as possible.

This is a great product. The fit is almost perfect, much like the moshi iVisor. Although it is not designed to remove, if you are careful, you can pull it off as you are applying it to make adjustments...just BE CAREFUL if you need to do this. I will confirm the track pad feels rougher with the protection on it, but I have not had any problems with sensitivity. I find the feel of the palm rest to be pleasant, it is a bit rougher, but more of a tactical feel. Color match is spot on. Obviously there is a difference between aluminum and vinyl, so I am not going to say you cannot notice it. It blends in well overall, however. If you are looking for a palm rest protector, you will not be disappointed here.

I just received my palm guard in the mail. It took me less than five minutes to get it out of the packaging and onto my MBP. For those reviews that say it doesn't fit, they are incredibly picky....I think it fits amazing. Now I don't have to worry about accidentally scratching the palm area of my brand new computer. A bit on the pricy side for a sticker....but overall worth it in my books.

This is a must have for your MacBook Pro! Very easy to install. It only took me a few minutes to apply to my laptop. The trackpad protector integrates nicely and you won't even notice its there. I would like to see MOSHI add strips for the left and right panels, which is why I only gave 4 stars. That is a minor issue, but some of the other protectors cover the whole front. Still a great buy and product. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
