How do you carry it? How is it stored?

Pressure on the device often causes this. I would put a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UORW12E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L7NKzbVG7J0X3 over the keyboard when shut to prevent further damage.neoprene case and backpack
This. Even the slightest pressure, with the insane tolerances on these devices, can cause the screen to rub against the keyboard. That's why a ultra soft, clean cloth may help this get worse. If you can find a case that prevents any pressure on the device that would work too.Leo wrote:

The backpack could be the problem.
How much pressure is being applied to the MacBook -- to both the top and bottom of the MacBook -- when it's "fully packed" into the backpack?
It probably doesn't take much to... "make an impression", so to speak.

[doublepost=1503420230][/doublepost]How has that worked for you so far? It's been a while since you made this post, has there been any issues with the product? Does it interfere with the screen or keyboard in an unexpected way? Are you still using it today? Thanks!

All laptops suffer from this issue in some form or another. The problem is that even thicker screen cases are 'thin' relative to their surface area and so when pressure is applied near the centre of the casing, contact is easily made even if sufficient space was manufactured in. I even experienced this with my old IBM T42 and that thing was practically indestructible.
So far, nothing suggests that the new MBP screens are more prone to keyboard pressure than preceding models.
None of my past laptops have had this problem. Then again, I've never bought a Glarebook Pro (glossy screen). My antiglare is recessed, lower than the bezel so it doesn't come in contact with the screen at all.
I'd avoid saying "all laptops suffer from this issue" as it is impossible for you to be aware of, and potentially have used every laptop out there. This is impossible which makes a statement without merit.
Apple's form over function is ridiculous - a laptop doesn't have to be super thin to be a great laptop. There are too many trade-offs for this thinness, and then add in the the outrageous pricing after removing ports etc...
Thanks for the suggestion, but a notebook of this value, has to have a good quality screen.
I have already learned that this protection can leave more marks on the screen.
Apple does not want to change the screen of my macbook and now I'm talking to my lawyer and we are going to ask another computer and indemnification for Apple .
Everyone had to do the same.
I use it every day and it's perfect. I recommend it to protect the screen.
Anyone else seeing this happen?
I haven't abused or done anything out of the ordinary with my new MBP. I don't put a cloth or anything in between keyboard and display when closing it. Do you guys think this warrants going to an Apple Store to have it looked at?
Here's a pic of what it looks like.View attachment 680913
Just wanted to report back that Apple replaced my display for free, no questions asked, even without Apple Care and outside of the warranty period. Of course, I have no idea how to prevent this from occurring again in 2 years time. At which point the coating repair program will surely have ended. :/Wouldn't this fall under the coating repair program? I have slight imprints of the edges of certain keys in the middle of the screen of my two year old MacBook Pro. Also, significantly sized spots where the coating has come off have very recently developed around the iSight lens at the top of the screen. I was going to make an appointment at the Apple Store about it one of these days. Here's a picture of what the screen looks like when it's turned off and reflecting the sunny sky:

I also noticed the lip doesnt close completely on my 2017 mbp. Do you think will this cause a problem?I received my RADTech yesterday. It's useful, but I have noticed that when using, my display "lid" will not shut all the way, more so on the left side. I can move the corner with ease, but when I shut the lid without the RADTech everything is pretty tight and a little more stiff to open.

the reason you quit using is because the lid doesn't close completely ?I stopped using mine. I felt that debris could get in easily. I did a really deep clean with water and a microfiber cloth and removed a lot of the marks. There is one that is permanent at this point. It’s from my shift key. I have also been wiping it down after using and keeping the display open, unless I’m carrying. I am thinking about getting rid of it and moving up to an iMac.
btw I have reached rad tech about the issuecorrect. the lid was open a bit on the left side. it wasn't secure enough for me
