Pictures of Wrapsol on a 13 and 11 MBA

What's better about the wrapsol compared to bestskinsever? Aren't they the same thing?

I just put on the bestskinsever on mine. I've had good experiences with them in the past on my iPhone and iPad.
By now I'm quite good at putting them on, but it's not difficult anyway.
Just took one big pasta dish out, filled it with a bit of soapy water, soaked the skin in there, shook off excess water and put it on.
All done within 10 minutes, top and bottom.
MUCH cheaper than any other skins.

I like using a spray bottle for large applications and the bowl of water method for smaller jobs. Looks good. The MBA is the first laptop I've wrapped. It was much easier than any of my smaller devices, particularly those with curved surfaces.

Why does that look glossy? My wrapsol makes it look it's not even there!

Do you have their contact info? I tried the online form but it doesn't seem to be working.

I had three issues with mine on my 13"

1) The top piece is a little short on the horizontal fit, and just a fraction too long on the vertical fit.

2) The two extra "arm" pieces for the front face (sitting opposite sides of the keyboard) are way to large. The shorter part of the "L" part is too thick as well. I just left them off entirely as I found them useless anyways.

3) The palm wrest area fits well from side to side but it leaves very small gaps on both sides of the trackpad. Compared to my Moshi on my MBP, it looks 'gappy' and not at all form fitting as I expected.

I sent an email to Wrapsol about this, along with pictures. No reply yet but we'll see what they say.

I used the support form, not the form to get a replacement. Haven't got an answer yet

Anyone got a response from wrapsol?

The look is great. One question, though. Would this have any effect on heat dissipation for the unit?

1 week and no response from Wrapsol regarding the wrong size for the top part. First and last time I bought a Wrapsol. Zagg and Bodyguardz's support are great...

wrapsol support

i had an issue with my mba11's screen and had to mail it back. had to remove the wrapsol.

contacted wrapsol and although there was a temporary issue with their warranty form, and then a 4 day delay to reply to my email to support, the eventually got back to me and a new mba11 wrapsol is on it's way.

wouldn't give up on them, they definitely have a great product. customer support is decent if not perfect (like sfbags)

I have only used their support form (twice) because if I use the replacement form I have to pay for shipping to get a replacement, which I don't intend to do.

I have used Zagg Invisible Shield for at least 3 or 4 of my laptops + iphones. I have gotten quite good in putting them on. But I do prefer the non-glossy look of Wrapsol. Just installed in on my 11" MBA. I must say, the matte, yet sparkly look is much better than the glossy invisible shield. Installation was also much easier because the matte finish hides any imperfection (like bubbles). For invisible shield, the tiny pockets of water will take days to weeks to complete vanish. With wrapsol, I don't see them at all ever right after installation. Finally, the cut or fitting of my wrapsol was perfectly fine. It's between 0-1 mm away from the edge all around. The key is not to over stretch the film, but gently wipe to squeeze the water out while stretch gently to bring the film's edge to the computer's edge.

EDIT: I did find something I don't like. The wrapsol film covers all the screws in the bottom of my MBA. If I ever need to open it up, I'll have to remove and discard it. The Zagg invisible shield I had on my 13" MBP had holes around all the screws. I opened/closed the MBP a couple of time to upgrade the RAM and HDD. I won't be able to do similar upgrades for the MBA, but still be nice to know I could when I need to.

I applied Wrapsol on my MBA 13" yesterday and also noticed that it is not a perfect fit. I have 1-3mm small edges all the way around. I have used both Zagg and BodyGuardz for several years and never had any problem. So I know how to apply a film

I also agree that it is really bad that the screws are covered. Both Zagg and Bodyguardz have much smarter layout.

I finally got in touch with wrapsol (thanks to twitter).

They confirmed that more people have problems with the size of wrapsol of MBA. But they wanted me to pay for shipping x2 to get it replaced...

I never got a response to my email so I ended up using the on line warranty form, uploaded a picture, and paid ~$5 for shipping. The replacement was shipped immediately.

Don't you have to send back your old wrapsol to be able to continue to use the lifetime warranty?

just to find out there is no case on it, just pictures of a fancy new MBA.

Not sure, I think the next time I want to use the warranty I have to send it in...I guess wrapsol accepts a picture the first time and then after that they want the actual skin.

Put a wrapsol on my MBA13 and its cool, I like it a lot.

After a day of use, I took the one off the trackpad and tossed it. Can't get better than glass!

If that is a scratch.......then it is cool. A machine that gets used is allowed to show a bit of character.

As i always say......it is a TOOL not a JEWEL!
