I've been using the 16" MBP since launch but have used a Radtech keyboard protector over it. When I open it up, it looks like a decent amount of pressure is being applied to the cloth while the device is in a sleeve in my briefcase. I'm thinking of getting rid of it as I don't want to put pressure on the screen but also don't want to scratch it up.
Has anyone noticed marks from the keyboard onto their screen? Just curious, thank you.
This happens to me. My 16" was just delivered two weeks ago and I'm using the RadTech cloth. I can see an imprint of where the cloth was making contact with the screen.
I contacted RadTech and their advice wasn't too helpful, unfortunately. They said that I'm seeing an outline from the cloth because there is a thin film layer left on the screen from production, and that when the cloth makes contact with it the film smears. They advised that I should wash the cloth using hot water and soap and let it dry, and clean my screen with PAPER TOWEL!!! and isopropyl alcohol. Paper towel is highly abrasive, being a wood product, and I would never touch a screen with sensitive coatings with it. I was very disappointed with this advice.
I did use a clean microfibre cloth to clean my screen, however, and I also washed the RadTech cloth using hot water and soap. Unfortunately, the cloth is now extremely wrinkled (I might iron it), and the imprint from the cloth is still left on the screen after usage.
What did you decide to do in the end - are you still using the cloth, or have you given up on it?
I too want to protect my $6,000 CAD computer. Every MacBook Pro I've owned in the past have had marks on their screen in the end from the keyboards. I'm trying to avoid that as best as possible this time around.
