Hi, I see they offer iVisor 13 for both new macbook pro 13″ and old macbook unibody, is the label at the bottom of the bezel “macbook” or “macbook pro” (for iVisor 13)? Or is it just trasparent?

Does the macbook pro still close all the way with the keyboard cover on it? How is the keyboard cover with lugging the computer around? Does it ever fall out of place? Is it pretty well fixed in place?

How does the iVisor affect screen quality compared to other anti-glare covers? I would expect some muted colors, but does it make the screen, especially whites, look like there is rgb noise everywhere? I have a PowerSupport cover and it cuts the glare for sure, but the noise or “speckling” on the screen is horrible. I’d love to find something better because I really need the glare cut, even if I lose some of the vividness from the colors, but the noise and speckling on the PowerSupport is almost as bad as the glare.

On a 15″ unibody (Fall 2008), the Clearguard definitely does not cause overheating.

I ran the CPU at 100% without the keyboard cover on for 20 minutes to let the CPU temperature stabilize. I then put the Clearguard on and ran it for 5 more minutes and CPU temperatures did not change.

@Mark
It doesn’t cause overheating.

@Huberto
Perhaps investment is the wrong word. I could have purchased a cheaper white Macbook, but my goal was to save time and be more efficient at work. I believe I made an investment towards my career. Also, this computer has maintained its value far better than some stocks I own. Haha.

“A MacBook Pro is an investment.”

A computer – something that becomes obsolete and loses its value with astounding rapidity – is not an investment. It’s expensive, but it’s not an investment.

Does anyone know if keyboard covers cause overheating?
A friend claims that MacBooks suck air in through the keyboard and vents it out the back?
Would I run the risk of overheating if I were to use one?

I looked into this… seems great, but none of the products seem to work on the non-Unibody Macbook Pros. Am I wrong? Anybody have any suggestions for the older Macbook Pros?

I’ve been using a Moshi Clearguard on my keyboard for a few weeks and love it. No more worries about wear on my keys or crumbs in my keyboard. Yeah, I sometimes eat while working :)

I’ll also second the recommendation for http://www.bestskinsever.com. It does take some effort to apply (about 2 hours for me), but it protects most of the outer surface of my Macbook. Some people don’t like the glossy look, but I prefer it.

I don’t have anything protecting my screen, so I’ll definitely look into the iVisor.
