Scratches on Laptop

How do you all keep your laptop from getting scratched? The Gateway's glossy fronts seem to be a magnet for scratches. It seems as if just touching it leaves a mark.

 

Hmm i move mine all around the house pretty consistanly even putting it in and out of the my case after nearly every use and have not had an issue with this. Not a single scratch...

 

;_;

I hate you.

I put it in my backpack and keep the top facing the backpack fabric, not everything else inside, but somehow it still gets scratched.

 

maybe it's you backpack? maybe get a sleave to put it in then into your pack

 

wait and see if others are having this issue but i don't think i've read any complaints...

 

I have yet to get scratches on mine either. I've even cleaned the surface with a magic eraser (the mr clean ones) and still nothing

You might have had something small stuck in the fabric of your back pack and it causes abrasions to your case.

As to getting rid of them... not sure really. You could check the Cosmetic Mod board for help, but i think (and dont quote me on this) some people have use the auto scratch removing wax to aliveate some smaller abrasion marks

 

Try and find some sort of polishing agent to take out scratches, and then you could buy and apply one of those clear (or opaque color/graphic) vinyl skins to protect it. The vinyl skins are very thin and do not mar the surface.

 

haha nice! Mr Clean Mr clean doo doo do do do doo do

 

Sounds perfect
Is there some specific site that specializes in skins like that?

 

There's a few. I've only ever really looked at the graphic/art ones over at gelaskins.com, but over in the notebook cosmetic modifications forum they might have some more options. I would just google "laptop skins" or some variant and go from there. I believe you can get a decent clear set for $15 with palmrests included from skinweaver, which is the most reasonable price I've seen.
