got the shadow casing for my mbp. still feel mbp is nicer in its own but i feel safer wif the casing. its quite soft to the touch but the see-thru plastic for the apple logo looks a bit out of place. :|

also my other complaint is the palm rest... the casing is a bit distracting at the edge. don feel quite comfortable since its like something protruding out fr the edge. can feel it wif my wrist.

but other than that, so far so good la.

my backpack can fit up to 15" notebook and its cushion padded inside.
I want to get shadow casing also but I saw the review on youtube that shows mbp can't close properly so i'm gonna leave it unprotected. Just using keyboard protector at the moment.

have u try to change the direction for the front casing? its carbon fibre btw =D

i changed here n there. it's not perfect also. could've been better - the apple logo placement i mean.
the palm rest area reli hurting my wrist a bit. hahaha.

as for the moshi keyboard protector. looks nice n perfect. soft touch also. only problem is that...it comes off too easily. hahah. coz its non-sticky (thats why wont leave stains on the keyboard).

Why dont you see mine instead of youtube one? lolx. i have no problem closing at it.

i think its true that cannot be closed properly. the difference is pretty minimal. i don reli mind about this small difference to be honest.

but one other major concern is the heat. a lot of reviews saying the heat problem will arise if you are using heavy duty stuff like photoshop because it blocks the air ventilation at the back and bottom. the aluminium casing will not be useful anymore. and it'll be worse if u have a silicon keyboard protector. i hope my moshi 1 wont be as bad. but i'll closely monitor the temperature and update here as needed.

Hi i must say, i just bought an capdase rough screen protector, its better comparing to glossy. when its under light, there's no reflection. Ask the keyboard protector issue with them, they said that they open the new mbp once, and they noted that its totally seal. so there is no problem using screen protector. oh ya, i bought a marware palm guard too. although looks ugly but the touching feeling is damn nice. oh it comes with a trackpad protector and a clothe. the trackpad protector not only dint decrease the sensitiveness but increase the smoothing touching. try that. the clothe is better a bit compare to others. let me know if you want me to upload my pics.

mm i ordered moshi palmguard. seen good reviews of it.
screen protector? i can live w/o tat. i actually like the glossy screen (call me weird).

i jz hope the xgear wont overheat my mbp when running adobe stuff.

i have no problem with my shadow when running ps cs3 and flash cs 3 so far. my temp turn up to 80 + when im running one of them + itunes + safari + vuze, then on parallel side, thunder + pps.

whoa. u have keyboard protector on?

nope. oh yea, forgot msn at parallel too. haha. the temp is normal i think.

oh ok ok. thanks for sharing. i do have keyboard protector on. will go get an ext hdd 3.5", iklear to clean the screen...and tat's all. hahaha. but those 2 will get later la. really poor now man.

p/s... i cant utilize my mbp yet coz of leopard. don wan to keep my stuff inside since i gonna do a clean install once SL comes in.

hdd 3.5 for FW? mbp itself lack of usb d. the iklear is anti-glare? or what?

clean install and update doesnt make a big different.

FW = ? yea. mbp not enuf usb, but the hdd is not that big. plan to get a usb hub for other lightweight devices.

iklear is used to clean the screen. it's a kind of liquid.

i've read somewhere that doing a clean install of SL is better. since it's still new, might as well do that.

FW=firewire.

Oh i get what you mean d.

Yea, since yours is new do it then. mine got quite a lot of data, so cant do a new and clean. will update it.

Sounds neat to me. Care to share where/how much u bought the screen protector, palm guard and trackpad protector? Pictures would be great =D
I just got my new MBP recently, so now I'm looking for these things to protect my MBP =D

u can try moshi palmguard (rm110), it comes with trackpad protector.. for screen, try moshi ivisor AG (rm170)..
im using the palmguard now and thinking of getting ivisor.

The screen protector is around rm100. i just compared mine with my friend's mb 13" with other screen protector. Main different is still mine dont have reflection under the light because mine is rough surface, lights will unable to reflects. The most similar example you can see is the photos you print out on a smooth or rough surface paper.

For the palm guard protector,the package is comes with palm guard protector, trackpad protector and also a clothe. the brand name is marware. i think there are 1 people selling it here. Price also around 100. the palm guard is like 2 pieces of silicon square stickers stick on right and left palm side. the color is alike, but still can easily spot the palm guard. for trackpad protector, its hard to spot it and the feeling is very good after apply it. Sorry still not yet go and take pics about it, kinda lazy atm.
