I cant post in enough threads how much of a fan I am of invisible shields by ZAGG. Their customer service is outstanding and their product quality is amazing.

I would vote for Wrapsol as I have installed on other idevices(ipad, MBP, etc) that have aluminium surfaces. The matte finish closely resembles aluminum surfaces. Do a search on the reviews.
My wrapsol kit for MBA is in the way and I keep my fingers crossed

I'm also about to order two zagg shields for our three MacBook Air's and two iPhone 4's.
It's a few hundred bucks, a 50% off coupon would be nice about now

I exclusively use Best Skins Ever. Great quality and price point.

I got my wrapsols yesterday. I love the matte finish. Much better looking than zagg or bestskinsever, both of which I have used on many devices in the past. Wrapsol was expensive but considering that I am going to use the wrapsol palm rest protector and not going to get a different palm rest protector (moshi) like I usually do I guess it isn't too bad.
can anyone take pictures of the wrapsol? cause i plan on getting a invis sheild with my 50% off coupon. im interested to see how the wrapsol looks on the macbook.

I'd get bestskinsever instead. Exact same material as zagg, much lower price, environmentally friendly packaging (comes in an envelope). Only the marketing is worse. I've tried both myself. Although the material is supposed to be the same, it seems like the bestskinsever actually offers better transparency and stays on longer.
Wrapsol has a matte finish that's almost invisible on aluminium. The InvisibleShield has a terrible glossy finish that also gives off an orange-peel effect. It's tolerable on screens (I have one on my iPhone 4, it's OK) but on aluminium, it looks terrible. I applied one to my aluminium MacBook Pro and I got rid of it after a few days.

got and installed my wrapsol for my 11.6" mba last night. easy to do...the spray/wet technique is definitely superior to reducing bubbles.
my old macbook black didn't need a skin...nice matte rubber but i didn't want the mba to scratch.
keeps the same matte aluminum look, you hardly know it's there. no heat trapping, the mba is much cooler than the macbook black ever was.

There are cut outs for the feet but not for the screws. Bestskinsever appears to have openings for the screws. Since I do not plan on opening my MBA it is not an issue for me.

No, those parts are not protected with the wrapsol, but it's not like you don't have a case/sleeve for your MBA. The Wrapsol is used to protect it from scratches, and you're most likely going to get them on the bottom area.
True, but I was thinking of using a leather-book type case, and the sides are the two exposed areas. But it's not a big deal if they get a tad scratched up. Thanks for the info!
I'm still waiting for mine but you can see in this vid. Pretty much invisible, looks really really nice (because you can't see it).

There is also a thread below that shows off a MacBook Pro being Wrapsol'd. The first two pics are dead but the last pic isn't. You can see the texture is really good, nothing like the InvisibleShield. Note that the MacBook Air's Wrapsol is better than the MacBook Pro in that it protects the two sides beside the keyboard as well.
