Anyone experiencing scuffs on screen/bezel on 8150

Has anyone experienced scuffs on the bezel of the screen while toting their 8150's around? It seems to be from the strip covering the speakers at the top of the keyboard.
I also have a line on the screen from the top edge of the touch pad. I was able to clean it off with a microfiber cloth, but the scuff on the bezel remains.

I've carried the machine to and from school each day in my OGIO bag, but haven't done anything abnormal.

Thoughts? Recommendations?

 

I'll tell u the same thing I tell people who complain about the scratches on the back of their ipod Touchs--stop looking at them.

 

Thanks, but not very helpful.

My concern is that the keyboard is touching the screen while the unit is closed and could scratch it.

Scuffs are one thing, but damage is another.

 

This is a very common thing on the P170HM...the lower part of the bezel gets scratched from the horizontal area where the ON/OFF/WLAN etc. logos are, when carried in a backpack, simply because there are none of those rubber parts protecting that area of the lid...it´s a design flaw.

People even sell custom P170HM M3 protection layers on eBay. (I bought one too late...the lid got scratched on the first journey)
I was surprised to see that Clevo did nothing about it when the newer 3D design was released.

 

yeah, just buy or create a protection layer for your screen. I too am surprised that Clevo/Sager/Resellers doesn't include one. It's pretty much standard on all shipped laptops.

 

Im pretty sure mythlogic includes a protective cloth for this purpose with their rigs.

 

its nice to hear that Mythlogic is providing this for their customers.

 

Same thing happens to me. I travel with my NP8170 and now have scratches on the bezel even though I take extreme care of the machine. It is a design flaw and annoying for a $2k machine. My only real complaint about the machine.

 

Thanks for the responses, gents. Reps all around.
I'm cutting a piece of microfiber cloth to cover the screen and lid when not in use.

 

the rubberized finish was clevo's biggest mistake, it scratches to easy. but i havent noticed anything around the bezel/speaker area. also if i remember correctly my mythlogic did come with something in between the screen.

 

Yes, making the bezel glossy is one of the stupidest design decisions in this notebook.

You get glare off the bezel and it scuffs off the lower half of laptop when closed.

I have an 8130 and it's not rubberized and I still get scuffs on the bezel. Not on the screen though but my screen is matte.

In my experience, almost all notebooks that have glossy bezels suffer from this issue. My Acer netbook has a black glossy bezel and it is severely scuffed from rubbing against the bottom half of the netbook when it is closed.

 

Take the bezel off and sand it with a fine sand block to make it matte. Matches laptop finish and matte screens better. Problem solved.

 

And you could make the problem even worse or ruin the bezel not to mention having to dismantled your screen first and maybe getting new rubber feet for the lid if you ruin the adhesive. Why couldn't they have made the bezel out of the same material as the rest of the laptop?

 

Best guess....the stock option is a glossy screen so they made a glossy bezel. Saves them money to use the same glossy bezel on all of them no matter the options instead of getting a new one.

Just like the keyboard being the same on every model. Many of us don't like it, but it saves them money.
