MacBook Pro "paper"?

[Samuelsan2001]

The reason for all the packaging, protectors on phones, little bits of paper in macbooks etc is to make sure that when a new product reaches you it is in the best condition it can be.As is only right and proper you pay good mony to receive a good product.

Then you will use it in the real world and it'll get worn, there is no escaping it short of boxing it up and not using it....

Use whatever protetors etc you like but lets be honest if that is what you are worrying about then you bought an ornament not a tool to use...

Have been throwing the same "paper" in the rubbish for over a decade straight out the box. My Mac Notebooks travel with me all over the world for work, have never incurred an issue. My simple recommendation is open Notebook lid, firmly grasp the "paper" screw it into a ball and throwaway, move on with life and enjoy your Mac, with one less care in the world

Perfect reply to all this OCD nonsense about day to day tools...

The paper is the equivalent to any plastic holding the power cord/other cable in any electronic box. Pointless...but it's just there for looks and to add a nice little touch. It's the attention to detail. Does it serve any real world purpose? No. But, it looks good and you know you got a new machine. That's about it.

Just use your MBP and quit treating it like a collectors item. It's pretty, I get it, but that's not the point.

I have a 15" retina MBP and this is what I use, it's called Shaggymax and it works great:

Just my two cents if you are that worried, get a keyboard cover and screen protector combo from amazon. I also used to use that paper to keep the oils from transferring to my screen but i find that this combo works a lot better.

I would submit that the keys can indeed contact the screen. Look at what's going on with the "staingate" issue. You can sometimes see the outline of keys and trackpad on some of the affected screens.

Exactly , some will never bother to notice it but when you use your own hard cold cash to buy this aluminium beast you tend to try to make it look new in years to come. Now I never used cloth but I definitely use normal A4 paper to put the distance between the screen and the keyboard. Especially when I have the keyboard silicon skin to protect it from debri and dusts. Read somewhere that the silicone cover might harm the Retina display screen .

... and I dont want to learn it the hard way.
