Wouldn't it cause the macbook to overheat when you use it together with the casing since the temperature airflow area is blocked?

act i use it when nid bring my mbp outside house if at home just use it naked + cooler fan

A little bit heat, but im using it in room with aircond, so no problem at all....use it for 3 hour n so far is ok.

Hello Lowyat Retina Macbook Pro user,
Before this I had lotsa problem putting my palm on the laptop pads because im afraid it is dirty, haha yes i paid lotsa money into the Retina model of course i'm taking care of it to the fullest, not even a single fingerprint should be on my laptop screen.

So one of our forumer did a sale on Retina Macbook Pro palmguard, I think he's the first seller in LYN to do this because to find Palmguard for RMBP is a little troublesome ..

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2501431 > here's the topic. Just in case those who wanna get it to take good care of their retina macbookpro.

Some images of me applying it..









So far process of what I did , i got less air bubbles, even got use the credit card to push it out. Easy to install but do take your time. now i am enjoying my palms on my laptop !



Thank you seller! BRY7!

Im using 15inch MBP with SPECK casing, so far, no overheat, i used it for something 20hours +

mbp?
my mbp has been using a speck satin for a few years now. use it only when i need to move about, it is naked when placed on a table for a long time.
never dealt with heat issues so i guess its ohkay?

hi , bry7 , if apply with palmguard will be help too?

Using Kinjio sleeve for my 13 inch MBP
Bought it just because the design is pretty nice but don't really recommend it as its really loose (obviously) LOL

Since i don't bring my MBP out that much, i'm fine with it

i doubt it will help as it doesnt fully cover the edges

anyone using specktru satin for their mba 13? izzit this casing can scratch the body?

I used it before on my MBA 13 previously. Doesn't scratch the body once already installed.

But you may cause scratches when putting the case on and removing it.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012): Do not use palm rest covers
Products Affected
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

Symptoms
Leaving palm rest covers or other material on the palm rest surface of your computer could result in damage to the display when you close it.

Resolution
To enable thin design, the clearance between the display and the palm rest area is engineered to tight tolerances. Do not use palm rest covers as the added thickness may interfere with the designed resting position of the display.

As a best practice, keep the palm rest clear of any material.

If the palm rest sticker is thinner than 1mm, I don't think it will affect the screen because the rubber at the edge of the screen that acts as cushion between the screen panel and the body has at least 1mm thickness. As long the cover is big enough to rest under the rubber and not inside when you close the lid, it should be safe.

it doesnt touch the screen at all, i tried placing it on the screen.
the cushion is higher, what Apple said doesnt make sense

But then, if you think back, Apple definitely made some researches throughly before making those statement, they won't simply making statements knowing that it would influence the sales of those accessories makers. I still think it's best to follow their recommendation.

anyone bought speck from the online us stores?

thanks

u can get it from the reseller. RM158 (if not mistaken)

speck casing tends to crack easily when i see review from speck website after months of usage, isit true?

i dont know. so far have only used it for barely 2 weeks

best palmguard is not to rest your palm on the chasis la
have been using mine and it's spotless
