Hi,

I'm getting my new 15" PB tomorrow and I was thinking of buying screen protectors from MacAlly. Is this product safe to use or should I go with a soft cloth protector from shaggymac.com?

Appreciate your advice...

I'm using the screen protector (foam) that came with my ibook right out of the box, and that seems to work great. Till it falls apart I don't think there is much need to use anything else. That said I use, and clean, a keyboard skin to help with that. (mid 2005 ibook)

WTF? iBooks comes with screen protectors? Mine didn't...

It was just some thin packing foam, no? I think there was something like that in my January-bought iBook when I unpacked it.

Neither did mine.

Yeah its just the packing foam, but it works well with the iskin I got for my keyboard.

MacMan05 · 2005-11-01, 20:03

Does anyone have any experience using screen protectors from MacAlly? Would this in any way harm my screen?

I am told this is just incredible.

I'm going to get one myself soon, if you are still looking once it arrives I'll let you know. Throw me a pm if you are intersted. Although this video testimonial looks pretty good.

That poor iPod! Slightly OT but what product would you recommend to remove the glue residue left over from the removal of one of those "brand X" iPod shields?

Maciej · 2005-11-01, 23:11

Brand X? What exactly were you using?
I haven't encountered residue left over, however... I believe a little bit of hexane will be able to clean it up nicely, without dissolving the plastic, however... don't quote me on that. I get the properties of acetone and hexane mixed up way too much...
