Separation of Retina and keyboard in MBP 2017

[AjTee]

Hello Guys,

Can you please tell me if you separate something Retina and keyboard in MBP?

I am looking for something to separate my Retina screen and keyboard.

Read about scratching Retinas because of keyboards in MBP.

What do you think about it?

Place a thin sheet of lint-free cloth in between when the Macbook is closed?

I've always used something like this for my MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Works great and can be used as a screen cleaner.

the sheet of material that it came with.

Or, just a plain sheet of paper works fine (and cheaper to replace when lost, too)

Paper is no durable.

It is very rare in Europe. Cannot find on german Amazon. Very good thing.

If you do not carry your MBPro in a book bag or allow anything to press the screen against the keyboard, this cloth will not be needed. I worry about using a cloth as it will press against the keys which will turn on the laptop.

Thing is that sometimes I need to take it to bag. Piece of paper between screen and keyboard will be fine?

I got a Radtech cloth (after reading around a bit on this forum) https://www.radtech.com/products/screensavrz-macbook-pro-keyboard-cover - seems to work well so far for separating my keys from the screen on my MBP 2018 13".

Sure, but it is easily replaceable, very cheap and easy to recycle too.

I take a sheet of paper that I do not need anymore (some old draft), and throw it to the recycle bin a couple of months later, when it wears out. So, I just delay the recycling of sheet of paper by a month once every few months, which is not too bad. It seems less costly and even more environment friendly that having a specific item made and shipped on purpose.

I've been using the included black Apple microfiber cloth that came with one of my Macbook Pro computers. It covers the trackpad fine and the space that separates the trackpad from the keyboard along with some of the keys.

That part that separates them was the part that first left marks on my 2016 15" screen and later from the trackpad and those nearby keys.

Ok so thin microfibre cloth seems legit ?
