Protecting The Macbook Pro with an Invisible Shield

Looks great with the Invisible Shield on it, not only does it protect it from scratches but it also makes it look nice and shiny.

your mac looks nice after the shield is on ... don't abuse it John just use it like u normally do :p

I went over to John's house to help with the install...let me tell you my side of the story, I was doing fine but John was in a rush to go workout so we had to speed it up :cool:

John--it's G A R Y, not G A R R Y! ;)

The InvisibleShield is awesome, I have it on my iPhone (the install takes a bit longer due to the tricky corner pieces, but still easy) and it's fantastic. It adds some extra grip to the slippery iPhone. Definitely worth it given the lifetime warranty and 30 day money back guarantee!!! :mrgreen:

I'm not sure I need to protect my laptop with an invisible film because it seems like technology advances so much that I have to replace it every couple years anyways. I'm sure you'll be getting a new Mac next year too John :lol:

It just looks like a bunch of stickers to protect from scratches??? You really trust it with your expensive mac laptop?

I use the Invisible Shield on my MacBook Pro 17 also and say I almost view it as essential. I had an identical PowerBook 17 and did not use it. The one thing I learned from that is that over time the right wrist rest and the mouse area started to show a lot of wear something that did not happen with my Pismo PowerBook. I like to rotate out machines every year or so and one of the things that PC people may not know, is that a used Mac that is in good condition can do quite well on ebay. I keep all the packaging and usually get top dollar because I keep the machines in such good shape. The PowerBook I had did not do so well because of that wear. The Invisible Shield is one of those additions I think that will pay for itself. With that said, I do not cover the top of the mac. I only cover the inside of the laptop and the bottom only because I think the skin on the top takes away from the look of the machine.

I am using the InvisibleShield on my iPod Nano too! However, you definitely need to spray the solution on the film to soften it. So far, my iPod haven't been scratched yet since I put the Shield on.

I'm going to write about this!

Aww dang John, you should've told me to get you one from China. The ones from China are actually the original ones because Invisible Shield uses them to sell :)

My biggest problem isn't scratches on my devices (phone, iPod, etc)...it's how they always fall out of my pockets when sitting down or when they're in my jacket pocket. To stop them from falling out I took a 1" x 1" patch of skateboard deck tape and put it on the back...works like a charm.

BTW...Invisible Shield is one of our sponsors here at my workplace. I didn't realize how popular their product was until I started searching for them on the web. Who would've thought clear plastic tape would be so popular?

I actually really like the aluminum feel of my Macbook Pro and I have a sleeve to protect it during transport so I doubt I'll be putting this stuff on mine. It's like putting a plastic cover on a handcrafted Italian leather sofa.

That's a cool analogy. I guess, however, if you want and need a laptop with the capability to hold a lot of images, videos, and if you need one with a lot of RAM, them you have to shell out the money. If all you're going to do on a laptop is word processing, then you can go with the $600 one.

I heard of this invisible shield months ago.For me it is too costly.

Well John I have heard so much about you.You are regarded one of the great blog gurus and blogged on many of the blogs. I didn't knew anything about you until I visited your blog a few times.

I just have a small request, would you like to guest post on my blog. Or can you give me some suggestion on my blogs.You presence at my blog is most awaited.

$54.95 is pretty steep for a plastic cover for a Mac or any cover for that matter.

I think laptops are like sunglasses - when you buy an expensive pair you're always dinging it up and losing it. So I bought the cheapest laptop I could get for $600 - a nice Compact. I've dragged it all of the world and it doesn't have a ding on it!

I've had one of these for my iPod for ages and it is absolutely awesome. Recently I took advantage of their lifetime free replacement policy to replace my shield, and after peeling it off was I pleased to see that the iPod was as pristine as the day I bought it - and this was *after* I had demonstrated its coolness countless times by scratching it with my keys.

Is the plastic hard once it's dry, or is it more rubberized kind of like those rubbery skins they have for iPods?

MotoTTZ did a good job ;)

Yes, but can I run over my MacBook Pro with my Segwey and not sustain any damage?

John, you have officially turned into a fanboy :!:

SO you want me to spray a soapy solution on my laptop to put a clear plastic cover over it....hmmm, sounds dodgey and not worth the risk to me. Some of that soapy water gets through to the motheboard and you'll have a nice and shiny broken laptop.

I'll think i'll stick to getting the odd scratch, that really dont bother me and just replace the thing when its getting old and is a bit scratched. $50 for this doesnt seem worth it to me.

*lightbulb moment*

Just seen the affliate links, i get you now. Turning that 2nd placed income closer to number 1. All makes sense now...

Interesting. A Macbook Pro's own knight in invisible armor. Never seen something like that before.

And I really need to get a laptop. Maybe I'll look into this one...

Thats a good idea.
let me get one. but costly. :razz:

Quite expensive, but I guess it has value for the mobile blogger. I mean, for the price of $50, you might save yourself from wrecking your laptop and having to buy another one.

How's it work on the individual key or is that not covered? Does it impede sensitivity of the touchpad too?

So I take it they only make these 'shields' for Macbooks?

John--have you tried approaching Apple for advertisement? Since you have been praising/mentioning about Apple...
Just curious.

Nice Idea john... really great
