    guys, does anyone know of a screen guard or screen shield that we can put on the laptop screen of MAC BOOK AIR and turn the GLOSSY screen into a MATTE (anti-glare) screen.

    also does anyone know how effective this method is ? for making the MBA screen fit for outdoor usability where there may be a lot of backgroud light and reflections ?

    I'm not too sure about what brand of screen shield you would need, but I know a friend of mine just bought a big sheet of the matte finish, and just cut it out to the size of his screen, although it ended up falling off after a few months. He was a photographer and used his laptop outside alot, he said the constant change from outside to inside (or in its case) made the adhesive wear out very fast.
