I just don't like Zagg's IS rubbery feel.. Maybe I won't mind having it for the bottom.... but otherwise.. i hate Invisibleshield.

i just got the incase neoprene sleeve. i think in some places it's referred to as a 'plus'. there is an incase sleeve that has a zipper, but this one doesn't. i like it, but it is a pain to get it in and out. not sure i feel like returning it. i'm hoping it will get easier to take in and out the more i use it. it also feels kind of thing. this will be used inside an stm bag so i really don't need my sleeve to protect necessarily.

I had one on my 13 and got one for my new 11. It gives over time and is easier to slip on. I liked it for the neo piping along all four edges that gives it an overall edge padding that many other sleeves lack. Sides are just right and not overly thick.

I have InvisibleSheild for my Zune HD, iPod Touch, and iPhone 4. I took it off my iPhone 4 since I really hated the rubbery feel and end up buying cheap screen protector for the back and powersupport anti glare screen protector for the front. Couldn't handle the rubbery feel XD

I prefer ghost armour over zagg on the iPad, and I think it would be the same thing on the MBA.

I've ordered black carbon coverings from ghost armor at the mall, and can't wait until it comes in and gets installed.

aren't ghost armour and zagg similar? sticky feel?

does it make the trackpad have a sticky feeling? or is it still pretty easy to move your fingers on it?

I don't have it for my laptop, not planning to get it.. but using it on touch screen devices, it doesn't feel smooth at all if you compare it to other screen protectors.

Probably going to be a loose bag since it seems like it's for macbook/pro(?)

Yes it maybe a little loose but I've been having trouble finding one that carries a AC adapter which is important to me when i'm traveling...

for $18, i'm willing to give it a try though..

You're going to put the power adapter/brick with your MBA?

Lots of choices here. A little pricey, but the sleeves, bags and other items - and the customer service - are first class. Don't miss the short, descriptive videos of each item.

I am in love with this company. Yes, they are expensive but I second the notion that their customer service is excellent. Products are great, too. I've had a messenger back from them since 2008 and it still looks new. Use it every day.

Invisibleshield is too shiny which adds an odd look to the aluminum surface of the Apple laptop. The only one that works with Invisibleshield is the white Macbook.

Try Wrapsol, it matches the aluminium finish and less obvious..Take a look at my pictures.

Got the Moshi Clearguard for my 11" Air...and it is invisible. I can't even tell it's there and its giving it ultimate protection.
