    I was just wondering what you all do to protect the soft touch finish of the r3. Especially the palm rest and the top of the laptop.

    And what about protecting the screen?

    Do any of you use some kind of plastic screen guard on screen? Does it effect the quality of the display much?

    Which sleeve for the r3?

    Google shaggymac. I have one of those cut to fit my R3 that I lay on top of the keyboard while closed. It doubles as a nice cleaning cloth for the screen.

    For when the laptop is closed, I can simply use a soft cloth in between the screen and keyboard.
    I am more worried about the rubber finish on the top of the laptop (when it is closed) and the edges?
    And any suggestions for sleeves?

    I know there is a thread for bagpack sleeves etc created by dookie11 but there aren't many (any actually) sleeves that I could find there.
