Which Accessories should I get

Well, if you’re really concerned about condition & resale value, then I suppose that those accessories make sense. But personally, I’ve always found that films/shells/etc. interfere with my use and enjoyment of the machine—so I don’t use them (only removable carrying sleeves for my notebooks).

 

I have a Keyboard protector on mine. I like it cause it prevents my keys from getting glossy after a while.

I dont think you need a screen protector at all.....

I have a sleeve for this macbook air but on my previous 2008 aluminum macbook that i sold I had a bestskinsever skin on the bottom only.....i was just very careful with it. when i sold it, it was still in near mint condition.

 

I dont use a hardcase. I'm using a neoprene sleeve.

my 2008 trackpad didnt show any signs of wear, but I also enabled tap to click and rarely push to clicked it.

 

I use a matte screen protector because I work outside frequently and I can't stand glossy screens. The protector doesn't make it perfect, but it is a lot more bearable.

Other than that, I use a soft case for transport, and if I work at a coffee shop, a keyboard protector.

 

Just a sleeve

for transport, as well as a radtech cloth to have over the keyboard during said travels. Plastic cases are hit and miss, I'm not using them anymore; and I also picked up an 11" 2011 refurb, lovin it!

Inside a leather messenger/satchel bag.

 

When I'm on an airplane or know I'll be using my MacBook Air with liquid nearby, I use a Rearth keyboard cover. They are pretty cheap and thin enough so that they don't leave marks on the screen when you close the lid. Other than that, I don't use covers or film (except a neoprene sleeve for when I carry it inside a bag or suitcase). I used to use the films and screen covers on phones, etc. but then I realized that all I did was make my user experience that much worse the entire time I owned the device just so that I can see a "mint" condition device right before I sold it on.

 

if you're planning to use the dictation and you're a spitter: screen and keyboard protector
