    Going to need a bag, was considering ordering their messenger bag from Alienware (Dell)... It any good? I know there is a backpack thread but I didn't see much about the messenger bag.

    Also - I know quite a few of you use dividers to stick between your closed laptop and screen so nothing touches... Rather than using some felt is there anything a little more.. professional, durable, etc? I'm not exactly sure what its called so my google-fu isn't digging up any results :(

    Just curious, what's wrong with a microfiber? That's what I will be putting in between my laptop whenever I decide on one. The uses for said microfiber just sounds better than anything else I could of. Others might think of better things, though. :)

    I'm not sure there is anything wrong with it.. When people said they used felt I just imagined it had a tiny bit of padding to it.. I guess a microfiber might work (and I'd be fine with it)

    Why not just get a pack of something similar to these adhesive bumpers & put one in each corner of the top of the inside of the lid?

    I have been using something similar (black instead of clear, bought locally for under $3) for about 6 months with no further issues of my keyboard touching the screen. Also, if/when they wear out, you have spares. ;)

    I use a piece of microfiber cloth. You can wash it or just replace it whenever you want.

    Also, I use it to shake off dust when powering on/off the laptop.
