InvisibleShield on Macbook

[deepy]

Or better yet, maybe I should just ditch the IS and spend my money on a better product.

Oh wait a minute...I did!

Lol...makes me glad i never got the IS in the first place. But because I live in the UK, i had to pay $12 for delivery of my marware. I wish i'd just gotten 2 or 3. I know its only a matter of weeks before I start getting ink stains all over it. For some reason, whilst in lectures, I manage to get ink all over my palms lol. My marware is gonna turn blue soon lol...maybe I can sell it to people with a blue macbook from colorware pc lol!

I'm with you. Any product requiring water to get it to work is no product for my computer!
If it was something that didn't have wires and such then ok...but Apple won't replace the stupidity involved with IS.

I don't know if the spray bottle they provide with InvisibleShield is soapy water. Didn't feel like it, but I don't know what it was.

Still, I put it on my daughter's MacBook, and I'm typing on it now. It seems to have survived three applications of it, and we've had it longer than icec0ld has on the MacBook, and he's had it on his iPod longer than that. icec0ld's MacBook also survived. Have there been reports of MacBooks failing because of the InvisibleShield spray?

I wouldn't open the spray bottle and pour it into the screen bezel or the battery compartment. But I had no problems spraying it where it was meant to be sprayed.

Haven't seen any discoloring at all, and we've eaten watermelon and oranges and cookies while using it. It did get dirty, but I cleaned it with window cleaner before taking the photos that I posted. Came right off.

Two months isn't a long time, of course. Maybe a nasty surprise awaits. But I won't worry about it unless and until it happens.

dont mind them hqsbud, the forum is filled with more worry warts than mac addicts ive found. some people have apparently traded in their common sense or exchanged it for blonde ambitions (no offense to blondes). there is a huge difference between putting liquid onto the surface of a macbook and directly applying it onto electrical parts while turned on. if there are naysayers about the shield or the best skins ever, that's really their loss. if you ask me, i'd much rather take the time and patience to apply (and reapply if neccessary) a clear piece of scratch proof 3m liquid activated adhesive than a product with their company logo plastered on it for everyone to see. that's not to say marware's product isn't good. it in fact maybe much better to the palms since it's stated to be made from pvc leather, but personally, i bought the macbook (and the nano and the 60gb) for function AND style. if i cant show what the product looked like, i might as well have gotten a dell....

I agree! can't wait to apply mine.
I called shieldzone for a tracking number but they said they don't give them. so I'm waiting aimlessly for my two macbook full shields and two 30GB ipod shields.

Having a piece of saran-wrap look-alike clinging to your Macbook is stylish?

If you ask me, both the IS and the Marware are equally unstylish.

The macpads have more promise. If I were still in the market for a palmrest cover, I might try the silver.

Stylish? Don't know about that. But look-alike?

LOL..that's funny. Well, since the IS costs about 50x more, I guess it should look better than actual saran-wrap.
