Hello.
I just got my 2011 15inch Mbp and im really OCD when it comes to getting scratches on my new Apple gear. I was wondering if I was to install a BodyGuardz under a Satin Speck shell, would it lead to any ventilation/ heat issues? Is there anyone that currently has this case configuration?

These are the 2 products I am considering.

Thank you for your help!
 
I'm not sure, but I'm also looking into getting the satin shell and wondering about any heat issues that might come up. These new machines are beasts but that comes at the price of heat. Although my early 2008 MBP is idling around 135F right now, so it probably won't be a huge change. I don't have it in a case though, and when I use it hooked up as a desktop, I have it on an elevated metal stand for cooling.
 
Dont get the stick on POS...i got one for my phone and i LOL'ed at it and took it off....you can even see in those pics that theres is grime on the edges...i would rather have scratches..
