MBA 11 keyboard touching screen?

[kkel19]

I noticed I get a keyboard imprint (wipe off-able) on my screen after awhile when I open the MBA. Anyone notice this?

If youre picky/particular about it, I'm sure you can get it exchanged. Sounds like it's off by a mm or two. It's happened to other MacBooks and MacBook pros.

I'm using a RadTech ScreenSavrz for MacBook Air 11" and it works a treat. Protects the screen and also using as a wipe for the screen. Highly recommended as I use a Moshi keyboard protector which touches the screen.

man 17 bucks for a piece of cloth? good god. I wonder where I can just buy a super big microfiber cloth and lay it on on my mba when I close it.

I had my screen replaced for light scratches caused by the kb. Unfortunately, they are not removable and a couple of days ago I noticed the same marks on the new screen. I began using a slim sloth on the kb whenever I close that laptop.

It could just be the dust on and between the key caps falling on the display when the clamshell is closed and the device tilted.

Try keeping your keyboard a lot cleaner; brush it off and shake it out upside down before closing. Maybe use a vacuum on it.
