I e-mailed Power Support!

Subject: Ant-Glare screen cover for new Aluminum Mac Books.

Are you guys going to offer a Anti-Glare screen protector for the new
Macbook and Macbook Pro glass screens?

Many people want Matte screens, but because all the notebook screens
are glossy glass now Apple does not offer a choice.

When do you think you will have a solution to this problem?

Is there anyway you could make it easier to put on? it's enough of a
pain putting one on a iPhone without dust or air bubbles getting in,
with the huge Macbook screens it will be even harder.

Yes we are currently in production on films for the New MacBook. They will be available in 3 weeks to 1 month. Please keep checking our website for updates. As far as an easier application process, I have found it is easier (for computer films) to have another person help you apply it. If you can minimize the time the film is exposed to the air, the better!
 
High five! In the absence of any kind of support from Apple, this is definitely a good thing from my perspective. Granted, I'd prefer a hardware solution, but since I've come to really love everything else about the new machines it looks like this is the way I'll be going.

Hoping for some videos etc. to demonstrate application and results.
