Keep your money.
Do any Magic Trackpad users here use protective film for their trackpads? A shop near me has them on sale and I wonder whether they can adversely affect performance or not.
Unless your fingers (unlike normal human hands) are capable of scratching the surface, why do you think you need a surface protector?![]()
Fingernails.
Ya know, those weird things growing at the ends of your fingers?
You mean the ones softer than anodized aluminum? The ones that don't scratch up the Magic Trackpad?![]()
Have you ever had part of your fingernail come off/chip off, leaving a sharp point somewhere on there? Not saying this is gonna happen often or anything, but you can always be ready to keep your things in good condition. To each his own, I guess it depends on how much you really care about looks, or reselling.
I really wasn't expecting something this intense from this question. Please, let's not go overboard here
I was just asking because I wanted to treat my new iMac better this time around. I dinged up my PowerBook a lot over the past few years and I just don't want to do that this time around, that's all.
Exactly.The Magic Trackpad's surface is glass. Covering it will ruin it's incredibly silky smooth texture, and won't provide any usuable protection (the glass surface being rather hard).
