    Is anyone using one? I know that companies like invisibleshield do custom sizes and there are a lot for the xps 1330 bu I wasn't sure how it would look because of the edge to edge screen!

    probably with hte edge to edge screen, u'll see the edges of the screen protector, and if you have somethign that brush at the edge of the screen protector, you might peel it off or something....

    I don't think a screen protector is worth it. There is no delicate anti-glare coating and the surface is glass so it does not scratch easily - I clean mine with wet toilet paper or other tissue. Not seen any problems in several years.

    Has anyone found one yet? And I don't think the screen is glass... It is plastic. Too much flex for glass.

    That was my initial impression - but I think it is a very thin glass sandwich. Liquid? behind the glass provides some support and the flexibility resulting from the thinness actually makes it more resistant to breakage.
    (Still no scratches here)

    I just picked up one of these from my school book store and it works great.. The Macbook 13" size fits my xps 1340 perfectly.

    click on the macbook size to see pictures of it in action.
