    I'm looking for a skin for my Macbook.
    By skin, i mean one of the clear ones that you apply straight to the Macbook.

    I've seen several of them out on the market, but I want one that covers the corners at least slightly. Anyone has any suggestions, and bad experiences with certain ones?

    Are you afraid of scratches? But your MacBook is matte... and doesn't scratch nearly as easily as the white glossy MacBook :confused:

    I'm not so worried about scratches, but it gets greasy VERY easily, and it's a hassle to have to wipe it so often. And then, if you don't wipe it well enough, you get "streaks" of grease which often look like a weird long scratch. :p

    Hmm... well, in that case, the best one I know of is the InvisibleShield... but I don't think it covers the corners completely (plus it's kind of expensive). All others I've seen are kind of ugly looking...

    Oh, and good morning :)

    I don't actually want a hard shell, otherwise I'd go fort he clear speck case. I'm looking for something that actually adheres to my Macbook.
