[Review+Recommendation] A Perfect LCD protector (film) for MacBook Pro!

First of all, I do not work for Powersupport and I am not doing an advertisement for them. I am just reviewing the LCD protector I just got from Powersupport! (If you search the forum, you'll find my previous thread looking for a screen protector for my MacBook Pro)

I've used a Powerbook G4, and the iSkin keyboard protector stained my LCD, so I decided to buy a LCD protector for my new LED MBP (whose LCD is so nice and bright).

I have the glossy LED 15.4'' LCD for MacBook Pro.
I've tried two screen protectors so far:

The first one I tried was from nushield.com. It was $15. It was the kind without any adhesive---it has "wings" you tuck into the frame of the LCD.
I wasn't satisfied with this screen protector at all, mainly because it didn't stay on the LCD as flat as I wanted and whenever I wiped my LCD, the protector seemed to move! The only nice thing about it was that I didn't have to deal with bubbles.

Then I gave up non-adhesive protectors and ordered another from powersupportusa.com. The protector was quite expensive---$35 (but I think the LED LCD costs more than $800). The protector didn't come in an envelop that says "do not fold", instead, it came in a nice box. Inside the box was a well printed black envelop. Inside the envelop was my Crystal Film for my MacBook Pro.

When I took it out of the envelop, I realized that it was actually thicker than I expected---this made applying it/eliminating bubbles an easier task.

I was really amazed when I applied it onto my LCD---the size was so perfect!! I couldn't see the film at all because the size was exactly the same as it should be! The problem was I didn't clean my LCD thorough enough and I had a few small bubbles caused by dust particles I could not eliminate. (I had to take of the film and clean the film using scotch tape and reapply it.)

Right now, none of my friends realize that I have a film on my LCD!! The only difference I can tell is that the crystal film made my LCD "more glossy".

This is by far the best LCD film I have seen---perfect size, crystal clarity, very glossy (might be a bad thing for you if you find the reflections on glossy LCDs distracting). Only downside is the price and the 30 minutes I spent eliminating bubbles.

I am very very satisfied with this Crystal film from powersupportusa.com and if you are looking for a protector for the New MacBook pro, try this one and you won't regret!!

 

Sorry that I have no pictures---i lost my digital camera in Atlanta last year :-(

 

do they make one for the MacBook ?

 

PowersupportUSA.com Crystal Film. The page says, "For NEW MacBook [Pro] 13" (black and white)." The "Pro" part is likely a typo.

On another note, thanks for the review Percybut!

 

..Bubbles and those little bits of dust and fuzz that love to confound these sorts of applications. Need to apply it in a military Clean Room to get it perfect. Still, sounds like a great way to keep the MBP looking new.
