I know some users use the Invisible shield as a protector for the MBP 2010. I have seen several unboxing videos and noticed that new MBPs are wrapped by a film right out of the box. Is it advisable to use that transparent film to protect the laptop from getting scratched?
Got a tip for us?

Is it advisable to use the film which came with MBP 2010 as protector?

I thought the same thing as I was taking it off but it did not stick and ended up taking it off any ways. I am going to try to find some type of protector today, its way to pretty to even get finger prints on it let alone think about a scratch.

With the promotion Guiguiga mentioned I'd get the Invisible shield too since they offer a "lifetime" warranty with it (if it even tears etc. send the old skin back to them and they'll send you a new one. However, for regular prices the $49.99 or whatever it is now is way too expensive. www.bestskinsever offers a similar product for $27.99 regular price.
I got a new MBP last week. The plastic wrap is definitely not suitable for long term use. It's got the adhesion of a post-it and thickness of a ziplock bag.
I'm also a big fan of invisible shield. I have full body versions on my ipod touch and Canon digicam. I've also used screen versions for cameras and a blackberry. Excellent product.
However, I wouldn't consider it for the MBP. With such a forgiving finish and relatively wide expanses, I don't see it as a good match. But I'm curious to hear form others who have gone that route with laptops. I AM thinking about doing something to the glossy screen. That's really distracting.
