Wrapsol Invisible Shield on the MBP Pics

I love how the Wrapsol shield looks on that. I had a friend put an invisible shield on his older non-unibody MacBook Pro and I didn't really like how it looked. The Wrapsol however, looks excellent. I'm almost half tempted to get one for my new MacBook Pro after seeing it on yours.

thanks for the photo's, just ordered one for my 15" MBP

ty looks great. i'll order one

Just installed a Wrapsol on my new MBP. This is my fourth Wrapsol install (2x 13" MBPs and 2x 15" MBPs), and I've also done a bunch of IS/BSE installs on classic MacBook Pros. I think this one probably came out the best for me in terms of perfect alignment.

Can't say enough about how much I love Wrapsol on my MBP. The matte finish blends nicely with the aluminum, keeping it as nakey as possible while providing scratch protection.

Thought I would add my pics to the mix, in case anyone was considering a Wrapsol. I don't use the track pad piece. $30 on Amazon or at Fry's.

I like the idea of the Wrapsol but I'm hesitant to use one because it detracts from the look and feel of the naked macbook. Plus it's a laptop--who puts screen shields on laptops? They don't get handled the same way a cell phone does.

Also, the most commonly scratched/dented/chipped part of the new unibody macbook pros are the sharp edges themselves. The Wrapsols do not cover these edges, only the flat regions that are seldom scratched anyway under typical use.

how does it cover the apple on the lid? is it a circle cut out or does it cover the apple logo completely?

Its clear, so most likely covers it.

By the way, Are you able to take this anywhere to get installed? Best Buy?

I have the wrapsol too and I love it. Only problem is that it doesn't cover the sides of the laptop . My sister was handing it to me and it scraped against some metal and now I have a nasty scratch on the front side of it. Other than that, it's great. I got it for $25 on Amazon.

All I can say is to stay as far away as possible from any carpets. I made that mistake for the first piece I applied (the palm rest) and I had to lift it up countless times because I was constantly finding lint that got stuck under it.

1. It doesn't take away from the look or feel at all, it's a matte finish, much like the Aluminum itself, so it blends in, you really have to look to see it.

2. Where did you read that its a screen cover? Nothing I've seen on here, or on the Wrapsol website have I ever seen anything that would make me thing that..

It does cover it, like the OP said. And I haven't seen anyone that would apply it, but it's really not that hard to do yourself, as long as you have patience and about 45 min.

I think the carpet thing goes without saying (although, apparently not ), but yes, keep it away from any dust, lint, pet hair, etc while applying, or you will be applying and re-applying and increasing the chances that you will warp the skin.

looks like price went up a little on amazon

I went looking for this on Amazon, and it was 24$ but out of stock , wrapsol website is also out of stock, I note the amazon reviews for the 17" shields are very negative, saying the cut and fit is way off, maybe the lack of product and reviews are related?

I really like the look and feel of the wrapsol, but the above point ultimately led to my getting a bodyguardz fullbody kit.

@diablo2112 Is it a tighter fit for the Speck case now that you've Wrapsol'ed MBP? Any chance of the Wrapsol peeling off from coming into contact with the clips on the Speck? Also, have you noticed any scratches/dents on the MBP itself where the Speck clips come into contact with the MBP? Thank you

I've also tried applying a Wrapsol onto my mbp after using an invisible shield for a year.

Gotta agree with the others, hands down Wrapsol's texture > IS. The matte finish mimics the mbp's original texture much better than slightly stick orange peel, if you know what I mean.

However, I've developed a small orange-yellow dot on the back of my mbp just after 3 days since application. Does anyone else notice discoloration of the Wrapsol in the long run?

Thanks

Pretty snazy if i do say so

waiting for mine to come, though i'm tempted to just apply an iron man decal!

I have enough problems with keeping heat down with gaming. Another layer of insulation sounds like a bad idea.

Is anybody getting this for new mbp 15 2011????

Can we share some info if someone finds them? Yes, I know mbp 15 2010 and 2011 is same but I want it to be exactly the same(meaning I don't want to shell out money for 2010 wrapsol version and find that it is not to the teeth)..

There were no changes to the unibody the thunderbolt utilizes an existing port so the wrapsol is the same exact specifications for the 2011
