Going back to the dust issue of Invisi Shields, does anybody have any experience of similar problems with Gelaskins or similar?

Machine has a limited selection in stock when I dropped by a couple weeks ago.

That works except if you're like me and have the artistic tendencies of an elephant with chronic diarrhoea.

However, when applied with proper talent, you'll get something awesome. Like this...

You don't need to get multiple skins. Gelaskins have been reviewed as easy to remove and, best of all, not leave any marks on the MBP.

Shogun Gamer review

Too bad nobody has done a review after several months of use...

No, looks like some permanent marker, probably copic marker considering it's done by the lead of the developers of Little Big Planet.

Nope.

The satin case protects the laptop from scratches and minor stains. Stains caused by excessive exposure to many forms of combustion, face-melting corrosive agents, death rays and head-on collision with somebody's face at speed are likely to overcome the case.

True. Nobody writes reviews of items X months old. But my earlier post was mainly to debunk the myth that you needed to buy multiple skins to prevent imperfect sticks.

Or you could go crazy and get a Pelican case or Storm Case. XP

Nothing says hardcore than a 27" iMac in the middle of a jungle.

Most skins cover only the flat area of the lid (back of the screen) and some have overlays for the trackpad and palm area. This means corners, bottom of the laptop and keyboard area will be unprotected.

A sleeve wraps around the whole Macbook and usually provides a certain level of water protection. However this protection lasts as long as the laptop is INSIDE the sleeve, ie it's still a naked laptop when you bring it out to use.

By buying a sleeve you're already like adding bulletproof armour on top of bulletproof armour...
