    Hi all.

    I'm looking for a full glass screen protector for my R3. I read through the threads here discussing the same topic, but I didn't get a clear answer.

    I see items on ebay, but they are the typical square cut 17.3" rectangle. Is there one that's full glass (edge to edge) protection?

    For the people who's had their R3 for a while, does the keyboard/trackpad start making up the glass after a while? I will be commuting with this laptop everyday in a backpack...and I have yet to see a laptop that does not suffer from permanent keyboard marks on the glass.

    I got one of those back when I had my m17xr2 and it wasn't even a proper screen protector like you would have with a ipad3, iPhone etc it was just a plastic sheet with adhesive on the top edge. Big Waste of money. Just get a big microfiber cloth and put in between screen when closing.
