    Does anyone have a suggestion for a cloth to use when closing the lid to keep keyboard grease off the screen? I am using the outlet foam piece for now.

    17.3" Widescreen Laptop Screen Protector

    this is what i use. It also doubles as a microfiber cloth to clean the screen/laptop with. I its perfectly with the m17x r3. I always use it.

    Edit: amtk908 beat me to it.

    I use the same ShaggyMac on my R3, it is a perfect fit. I was having issues with oils from the keyboard getting on the screen, the ShaggyMac stopped that.
