Do you apply the film to the screen monitor as well?

I just read that if you have current scratches it will “hide” them on someone’s iPhone screen. I wonder if this is true on other devices. Anybody know?

If I apply the Invisishield to the palm and mouse areas, will this in any way nullify my AppleCare warranty?

No I don’t think it will.

Hi everyone!

I bought the full body kit for my macbook pro had it looks great! I really have peace of mind! You buy a 2000$ computer and you don’t protect it from scratches!? After all, Apple computers are sleek and sexy….

I really enjoy my purchase.

Hi! I’m plannig to purchase a macbook pro; it has an aluminium case and apparently it is not good to apply the inivisible shield because it will retain heat; thus overtheating the macbook pro… Keep in mind that it’s one guy on a macworld forum who told me that…

Besides, there are already vents to avoid overheating which the invisible shield doesn’t block… I have another question; I called the invisible shield company and asked them if it has pre-cut holes for screws in case if the mac has to go for reapairs or change memory… Did you notice holes for screws? Finally, Can it be removed easily? The company said yes but they want to sell, so… Do you know if it damages the finish when you remove it? How do you put it back, with the solution?

Thank you very much for your time! I know I’m asking a lot of questions but it will be my first mac and when you pay 2000$, you want to be sure…

Thank you once mnore!

@Johnathan – Yes it can be removed easily and doesn’t damage anything. I didn’t end up putting the top part on my MacBook as it was a hassle to install by myself, although you could probably get it done if you had a friend helping.

Hi! I’m looking in buying a new white macbook this fall and I want to protect it. I see that shield zone offers a good product. However, I have a few concerns…

1. Can it be removed? If so, will it damage the finish look of the macbook (is it destructive?)

2. The apple logo ies not perfectly flat with the case; is there a build-up of liquid? Does the shield fit perfectly on the logo or does it curve?

Thanks! :)

If posible, I would greatly appreciate to see photos of the shield on the top cover of a white macbook.

And I forgot to mention that the standard shield is around 35USDls and not 55 as mentioned in the review.

Julieta posted some pictures at deviantart showing how to apply the large shield “near perfection”. This application technique is the best so far.

Never thought how easy it was to apply the large sticker until I saw this girl’s tutorial. Recommended.

@DD – Yeah I had the top shield on my old MacBook (which got replaced by Apple for another issue) and I don’t believe it covered corners. It was a while ago, so I could be wrong.

Hi Paul,

Did you end up applying the top shield?

If so, does it cover the corners? A number of similar products seem to leave the corners uncovered.

I used the shieldzone on my ipod and i love it.

I just got mine, but I’m curious about the top sheet. The apple logo on a Macbook is a little recessed. How does this work when putting a shield on top? Has anyone had problems with the liquid collectin there, etc?

I purchased the shield for my new Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and for my wifes Black MacBook. I’ve only installed it on my MacBook Pro, and it did take a while to get the top aligned, but i did get it on. It looks great and i’m sure it will protect my computer from the dreaded scratches.

One thing that has happened already while i was stuffing it into a Brenthaven 12/15 Pro laptop case is the back corners look (feel) like they were burnished (turned upwards). This surprised me because i have an older Brenthaven 15 Powerbook laptop case that it fit into tightly, but it didn’t do what the new case did to it.

I’m calling them for a replacement on Monday, but i’m still satisfied with the product overall.

Has anybody only bought the standard shield? It seems as if you do not really need to protect the bottom since you barely see it but it may make some sense to protect the bottom so if you want to sell the macbook the bottom looks nice.

Also the Invisible Shield comes with a lifetime warrenty. I use this product on my Cell Phone and my iPod and will use one on my MacBook when I get one. (Shield Zone is actually a local company to me so if I have installation problems a quick drive down the road solves this, their customer service is one of the best.)

Also concerned about the discoloration issue, I bought some Fellowes-brand PDA screen protectors, and simply stuck those where one’s right and left palms would rest. They’re just the right size for the MacBook.

No sticky-glue stuff needed. They stay in place just fine. Still on first set. Package came with 12, so I’m good for a long time, I figure.

But frankly I think the discoloration issue was either a hoax or much exaggerated. Nonetheless, I took out a $12 insurance policy.

Looks good, but I’m prone to changing my mind. Is it removable?
