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

I absolutely love the Moshi Palmguard! I am using it with my 13" MacBook Pro. It fits perfectly. It is almost unnoticeable. I love the feel of it and it does not reduce the sensitivity of the trackpad. Again, this is a must-have product & I absolutely love it!

People Say that it loses sensitivity when it does its perfect!!! Feels very study and is soft to touch!

I love this product. The application process is so easy with tabs to help you remove the sticky part from the paper. The color and texture match perfectly with my Macbook pro. I have long nails and would hate to ruin the surface of my Macbook, so this is exactly what I was looking for.

Overall a great protection plan for your Macbook!

As others have mentioned, this palm guard is perfectly matched to the Macbook Pro. It fits literally perfectly and even the colour is an exact match. Take the time to fit it exactly, you won't regret it. My problem is that it seems to bubble on the right side. I took the time, I layered it perfectly on the first try and for whatever reason it will occasionally bubble-- especially if I'm sitting outside with it. I didn't even bother with the trackpad cover based on the other reviews. It's a good buy, especially to protect against scratching at the wrist area. I wasn't crazy about the high shipping cost though. It arrived in a huge box when it's really a flat board that could fit in an oversized envelope. Hopefully the shipping costs weren't determined by the size of the box.

I purchased the palm guard together with my 13'' MacBook Pro. I loved it! The colors was perfect, it felt well and I was sure my MacBook not only looks great, but will be protected.

However, a few days ago ( now my MacBook is 6 months old), a certain spot on the trackpad stopped responding. It acted weirdly as it did not want to move and respond to finger movements. I read all sorts of forums, apple support, nothing helped until I decided to unstick the trackpad palm guard. I touched the stop which did not respond and it seemed fine. Then, I sticked back the palm guard and it was working fine.

I have no idea where the problem came from, I would like to understand. Overall, it is a great product, I find it very useful and protecting, but as I described before, for some reason the trackpad did not respond.

I was able to actually reset mine a couple times to get it right and it's holding in place so the statement of you can only place it once is not quite true.. Very happy with this item. its a perfect fit on mine..

The store installed it for me, so I don't know how to comment on installation, but it was rather quick.

The colour blends in well with the Macbook Pro Unibody, and I like the texture although it's not as smooth as the main body.

As many have stated you do lose some sensitivity issues on the trackpad, but only for tap to click. You have to apply just slightly more pressure than normal, but you get used to it very quickly. I find that it is easier to use the finger gestures on this surface as well.

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.

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.
