Clear covers for PowerBook palmrests?

[murbot]

Since my current PowerBook is partially work funded, I will probably be keeping it for some time. Like, I'm talking about actually maintaining ownership of it right up to, and past (*gulp*), the next revision. Yes. For real.

Now of course this is completely uncharted territory for me. I've never really had to worry about long-term care of my Macs before. That isn't to say that I haven't always babied them, but I'm looking for a little extra protection. You know, your girlfriend is on the pill, but you pull one on anyway. A little extra protection.

I was thinking that some clear covers for the palmrests would be a good idea. I saw them mentioned in a thread here recently, but can't remember ever actually seeing any for sale. Something like the cover that comes on an LCD, maybe a little bit of adhesive to tack it on there. It would stop sweat from pitting the aluminum (very low % of people have this problem, I know) and from shirt buttons, etc, scratching it up.

Has anyone seen these? Know where I can find one? For some reason my Google prowess has left me this afternoon and I can't manage to find anything.

These (http://www.pawasapo.co.jp/products/rr.php?category=pb) are what you want, you'll probably have to contact Mac Imports (http://macimports.com/home.html) as they don't have these listed but claim they can get stuff from Power support.

Thanks, man. My mom always said, it's great when the milkman visits!

:lol:

Welcome to AppleNova, BTW. Cheers.

It's a really shoddy, cheap-looking website, and I swear I think I've read bad things about this product.

I didn't know there were clear ones. I just thought murbot was imagining things. http://forums.applenova.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I personally prefer the ones at Power Support better but these would probably be easier to get.

I emailed the guys, hopefully those aren't *too* expensive. They look pretty cool.

The clear ones are kind of what I was thinking originally, thanks Brad. Holy crap what a brutal site though.

I'll see what pans out from the Japanese dudes.

I tried those once. What pissed me off the most was that they had the product name all over them, turning my TiBook into advertising for them, and I was paying for the privilege.

The other thing that pissed me off, was that it was basically one sheet of full-sheet transparent Avery Label stock, printed with their name, and they charged more for one sheet than it would cost for a whole package of Averys.

Why not just get an external keyboard and not only save the palm-rests on the powerbook, but save your wrists too.
