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

I bought the Moshi PalmGuard and the keyboard protector along with my MacBook Pro. The application was easy. I just aligned the edges perfectly and worked my way in securing it. The color matches my MacBook perfectly so I can hardly tell that it's there.

I've read the other reviews on here so I was worried about the trackpad losing sensitivity or responsiveness if I applied the trackpad portion of the guard, but I haven't noticed a difference. If anything, it improved it. I noticed that when I used it without the guard, my finger would occasionally "slip" and the cursor wouldn't move on my screen (especially after washing my hands). The sandpaper-like texture of the trackpad gives it a bit more "grip" when you're using your finger to maneuver.

I've gone through two of the older suede versions since I bought my macbook two years ago, and I love them for protecting my macbook, but they drive me nuts because for a student who's on their computer 8+ hours/day, it would just start looking dirty after a few months. So I was so excited when I saw that they improved the model in time for my second replacement. It's great and now (hopefully) I won't have to buy another one in 6-8 months!

I recently dropped my tv remote on the palm rest to the immediate right of the track pad. Of course, my treasured mbp gets its first dent, though minor, it stuck out like a sore thumb, to me at least. So I look at replacement pieces and to my dismay they easily run $300+ with installation. I find this product and not only does it protect the computer, it completely hides the blemish. Blends great with aluminum finish and feels "protective". Install can be tedious, but take your time, it will be worth it. Excellent Product only wish I had found it sooner...

This shield is great! It provides great protection and the fit and color match my MBP-13" laptop perfectly. You can barely tell it's there! It's a great buy if you're looking to protect your wrist rest and trackpad from dull spots due to extended use.

The ONLY negative I can see is that you do lose that smooth glass feeling of the trackpad. It is replaced with a very light texture, which is what will provide long wearing protection. It isn't enough to get annoyed with but it is worth noting that it has a little texture.

Make sure you get this PalmGuard aligned properly the first time you put it on, as it's not repositionable. Once it's on your computer it virtually disappears! Great job MOSHI.

I received the palm guard in the mail and it took one simple easy stick to get it to line up correctly. I LOVE it. My previous laptops have gotten quite dirty for the palm area. It matches perfectly and feels great. My only complaint is I did have to remove the track pad part of it. The sensitivity wasn't great (I do graphic design, so this was important) and there came to a point where it wouldn't register when I moved my finger over it. But overall, fantastic product. I'm buying another one for my husband's MBP.

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.

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!
