For casing, you can choose for invi shield, hard casing or soft cashing. this is the one im using http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=28705015

For keyboard protector, i dont think you need that since the keys are all in black color and easy to clean. another issue is also because the heat dissipation.

For palm guard, yea, there is a need to stick for it. Moshi is one of the best, but the Moshi package which around rm100 comes with trackpad protector too. I dont think applying the trackpad protector is good because will decrease the sensitivity.

For screen protector, i think iklear is not bad.

was thinking bout this case but its not cheap lo. i plan to get this and then put inside my laptop bag. the sleeve machines gave me looks bit ....risky. coz can easily scratch the surface.

i considered the speck before but the color not so nice wor. prefer black or silver color of the aluminium. .

Yea, im just same like you, was considering speck, but the color really not my type. So at last i still decided to buy this shadow casing. am going to buy a wireless mm mouse skin for my mouse too. which will cost me rm95 in future.

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.

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

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.

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.

bro, ur xgear shadow ok ka? mine macam causing heat problem a little. when running quicktime and doing some copy stuff, the temp shoots to 80+
now i took off the lower casing for proper ventilation and so far has been around 50-65 range.

not really, i remember my heat is 75celcius(with 8600 on), task doing - The sims 3(mac), itunes(playing song from ipod touch),safari(10+ tabs) and the otherside VMware running windows xp with xunlei and pps(pause for the video streaming).

Btw, i do have a Cooler Master NotePal cooler with my mbp. not pretty sure whether it helps on reducing the heat. I don't think so the casing will bring you extra 15 Celsius heat.

the brand of cooler is not important, try get those cooler which have a big fan in the middle. Those will have a better effect.

For me mac get into 80celcius is normal, don't need to be too worry about the heat problem.
