is it just me or do none of these have a piece to cover the screen?
seems kinda weird considering screen protection is there bread and butter
that being said i am interested in one and want to make my choice soon so it can get here for when my ultimate config RMBP gets here

I've always found that for all my laptops, I tend to scratch up the bottom sometimes, not all that often. I just like keeping my tech products in top notch condition, so this time for my mbpr I decided to get the bottom protection from bestskinsever.
i have had wrapsol on three macbook pros over the years...never any complaints, blends in perfectly with a matte finish, great cs and warranty, and i have never had it raise operating temps. (i use stat menu to keep track of temps ect.) will not go with anything else
Has good reviews, with the coupon mine came out to $17 (I only got the cover for the bottom). The full is closer to $30.
Got the wrapsol bottom, top and palm. heard it was the best feel and look. haven't gotten it yet, but should arrive same day as my rmbp!
i know right ! ..... wrapsol is pretty popular here... i didnt find any coupon code but i did find 25% cash back on this site!

... not sure how this cash-back site is .. but there is no harm in trying...
I highly recommend BodyGuardz clear protector for the MacBook. I had mine on for a good year or so until I changed to a Carbon Fiber skin. Both products are excellent, but I feel like the clear protector was much more protective. It had a really good grip and feel, and was seriously durable.
You can get it for $50, but like ijen0311 said, you can get 30% off if you post on their facebook page. I've only tried a few other clear protectors (ZAGG, ugh), but this is a top-notch product IMO.

I consider myself outrageously picky when it comes to cases. I haven't found a better slip case than this.

got my wrapsol in and installed. pleased with the fitment but not happy that the screws are covered by the bottom sheet. the old one had all the little screws cut out so you could remove the bottom panel without damaging the skin. not sure if this was a fluke but have contacted wrapsol to see what they say.
I am going with the same thing i wrapped my iPad in...**********.net. Awesome material, and it looks spectacular when installed.
That is a thing of beauty, and the making of video really sells you.
Going naked. I'm pretty careful with my tech.
I nearly just sent him the $100 out of being so impressed with his hand-made attention to detail... but then I decided I might as well get one if that's already the case. ;-)
I'm actually a "go naked" sorta guy myself. People always think I'm crazy because my iPhone doesn't have a case... but out of many years of habit, my phone ALWAYS goes in my front right pant pocket, and my keys go in the left. I've never had a single scratch on any phone ever that way.
Main reason for a slip case is that let lets me carry a few things at once in one stack without worrying about any of them scratching the mac. Sometimes I'll throw a drive, tablet, wedding album etc. on top of my laptop and pick them all up together.
