    Has anyone taken those off without leaving marks? I'm afraid of removing them and leaving marks in the soft touch finish. Thanks.

    The only way it will leave marks is choosing the wrong tool to remove them. I use an Xacto knife real carefully to lift up a corner, then remove with fingers. It'll be clean of residue.

    Yes i removed them, you dont need a knife or anything, just remove them with your fingernail and there. And then clean off any residue

    I might be a little paranoid, but I always use a Scrape-rite (plastic) blade for removing stickers off laptop

    When my girlfriend removed hers it left two rectangles in the softtouch where they were. Thats why I'm wary to remove mine.

    I literally just got mine today and that was the first thing I took off. Used fingers, no problems arose and absolutely no scratching. I then moved them onto the bottom panel. That way they're still there and if I decide to remove them again there wont be any fading because the bottom isn't exposed nearly as much as the palm rest is. Looks dashing but the bottom still speaks of whats inside.
