So, are the prints as bad as most think they would be? For me I can hardly notice them (1-3) after the first day, very happy with the print "resistance" thus far, curious about others who have the black pro?

I immediately slapped on a clear hard shell case out of the box last night so I can't comment on the top and bottom. However, the palm rests seem to be resistant so far.

Which brand did you get? I think I should get one. But I was surprised how few prints I had.

I got this one: EooCoo Compatible for MacBook Pro 14 inch Case 2023 2022 2021 M3 M2 M1 A2918 A2992 A2779 A2442 Pro Max Chip, Hard Shell Cases with Keyboard Cover, Screen Protector - Crystal Clear. It also comes with a keyboard skin and screen protector (I didn't install the screen protector). I've used this brand keyboard skin on my MBA and I was happy with it. The case and keyboard skin are thin enough that they don't impede usage nor add noticeable weight.

BTW, I also have a clear matte skin on order. I've been putting skins on my MacBooks but, unfortunately, my go-to brand (Bestskinsever) went out of business so I'm trying skoko (a Korean brand) which takes two weeks to deliver. I want to protect the outer body from scratches meanwhile but I may decide to keep the hard shell on instead.

good information thanks, yes its a matter of time before we all show up at apple and someone has "tested" the scratch/color ..

One reviewer mentioned the resistant coating is only on the outer shell. From playing with my roommates a day ago it did seem to pick up a similar amount of oil as my space gray machine.
