where do u get the matte surface screen protector?can u recommend one here and how much?thanks2.

what about the surface/casing and also the keyboard? trackpad i think yeah.

mmm, now i understand why one of the LYN forumers told me to prepare a lot for the protection thingy. LOL. keyboard + trackpad + case + screen

My protection on my aluminum MacBook 13" >> Moshi Codex 13 White SE > Speck See-Thru Clear> Moshi iVisor 13AG> Moshi Clearguard > Moshi Palmguard > Moshi Shieldpad.

LOL protection kaw kaw. Don't know why I just love Moshi stuff. Very apple-ish and simple.

Come to think of it. RM219+RM138+RM180+RM110+RM120= RM757 respectively. Moshi Shieldpad comes free with the Codex. Damn I spend a lot. Some more add another RM550 for my Crumpler King Single. =Rm1307. Haven't add the price of cases I got for my iPhone 3G and Apple Mouse and Keyboard. Both Wireless.

Next target Sony Cybershot DSC-T900 !!

i think ur protection reli cost u kaw kaw also. shld b around 1k?

I can agree that protector really cost you kaw kaw. even can cost more than your MBP hehe

I didn't bother with all those protection. A sleeve is all I use, and slot into my deuter backpack while inside the sleeve when I need to take it out.

i got mine during the discovery week recently in mid valley.. i think it was around RM70.. you can get it in machines..

well for me i didnt feel the keyboard protector was so important as the keypads itself are black in color (for the aluminim MBP), so i dont think they will be stained easily, plus i clean my MBP everyday.. the keyboard protector will make the keypads feel different when using, so i didn't really like it..

there is small gaps under each of the keys, i'm worried things may go under and accumulate and thus make the keyboard no syok typing

at first i was like you. wanted to buy heaps of protection. but i ended up not getting anything. well accept for a laptop sleeve and i good bag for it. and im quite happy that the macbook seems alright. the only complaint i have is the oil stains on my keyboard. cos i didnt clean it everyday after use in the beginning so now there is certain areas of the keys thats 'shiny'. think that is caused by the oil. think new users shud clean it everyday with iklear rather than buyer a keyboard protector as this well effect the heat ventilation right?
and a trackpad protector is recommended too.

there are keyboard protector which have micro vent holes on the top 2-3 rows of the keys

wah, rich ppl can buy so many protections. but i dun even give a shit to buy those stuffs la, i got one protect leather cover thinggie, but i will take it off when i'm using it. i wanna have the "original" uMB feel. not the uMB with lotsa lotsa lotsa.....condoms =='

i only got a leather cover thinggie looks like an organizer, and that's all.

im a moshi fan as well haha. but y u get speck seethru AND codex? kind of redundant ;p n i never knew got codex white SE haha


that "original" uMB will be gone once it is covered with dents, stains and scratches

The Moshi Codex act as a just a sleeve for me. Yea, want to preserve the condition. Once, dents, stains and scratches are there. I'm sure I will be very upset. But, so far so good. Still new as ever. Moshi Codex was a gift from an uncle. So I don't mind having it on my collection since it is free. ( Some more SE mah)

The only Moshi product I din't get is the Moshi Zefyr. Since, I'm using the mStand. No point buying something that doesn't work for me right?

wow so nice ur uncle hehe. i wanted the codex before but then decided not to. its because the codex is too nice, later i worry if i put my laptop on a dirty table etc. spoil the codex ;p now juz using speck seethru...dirty table oso dun care..haha

Yea it's true. I take out the MacBook inside and put the Codex back into the backpack. Moreover, it is in white color. Get the black one if you are scare of dirty. Since you can't see dirt on it.

haha. i seldom bring my uMB out anyway, i leave it alone on my 6feet long table. so i dun think there's be anything will harm it unless my house runtuh. and the day its with fully dented, stained, scratched = the day i change a new one

wah, all those moshi moshi thing not cheap ler.

i think in the end, i might just get trackpad, keyboard (with ventilation), screen protector and mayb a case (RM100+). thats all. :| not sure sufficient or not. hahah. don wan to spend too much. i think keyboard maybe can buy later. important is the case and the lcd.

i don't bring my mb out that often and I only have a case for it and I clean it every week with wet cloth.

up till today, it still look new.

just out of curiosity, if macbook is that easily bend, means it's not recommended to use the cooling ball? i'd been using the cooling ball for my macbook as i got it free frm machines.

regarding to the toughness of unibody mac

it's tough on the chassis, but the surface is not
this is the properties about aluminum, wide piece of thin alu is very easy to get dented

another example, take a look on the restaurant's kitechen. Made from stainless steel.
Yes it's tough, shape wont change so easy, but it's easy to be dented with just simple knock (using harder material properties material)

the theories are the same to Unibody mac.

Johnny ive was talk about robust unibody, not dented-proof body
