Actually it is included. The $45 wrapsol includes 4 pieces. It covers the top, bottom, palm rest, and touchpad.
I think the whole bundle is $49...
But I got the wrapsol cuz I heard great reviews about it. and I personally just dislike zagg. And never tried bestskinever. but we'll see!
Wrapsol all the way
I use Wrapsol for most of my Apple products except iPhone and my iPod classic. I have been using bestskinever and ZAGG, and by far I can say that Wrapsol provides the best protection and feel. The matte feel of the skin is just marvelous.
Having said that, I love the feel of 'naked' aluminum casing on the MacBooks, but I HATE fingerprint greases and smudges after short use. I don't like ZAGG because of the shiny feel and the skin captures a lot of smudges from your finger.
Wrapsol is the way to go IMO

The $49 bundle includes the grip pad which goes on the bottom.
Sweet! Thank you....
Got a Wrapsol for my Retina MBP and one for my iPad3 cheaper than the normal price for just the MBP.
I've tried every manufacturer out there and on every device the clear winner has always been Wrapsol. Best product. Best customer service. Best warranty. Their products have never let me down and their follow up service has won my business for life. With the 50% off FIREWORKS coupon code I recommend buying now and never looking back.

I was about to order a Wrapsol, but the shipping to Canada was $22! I couldn't justify it considering it was for 4 thin plastic films
That is absolutely crazy! Why so much? Shipping to Canada shouldn't be much more than the US.
I would check out sticker boy, they have some pretty good ones but i'm not sure about the black translucent.
I'm still trying to get a review by someone before i order from them,
I really like their brushed aluminum look and they also sell skins for the sides as well.

crap missed it
anyone got a current promo code?
I think they usually update it here: http://www.facebook.com/wrapsol
I also missed the July 4th sale and the "facebook" promo code isn't working for me even though it's still on facebook. Anyone else have any promo codes for this?
NONSENSE. It has no effect on the temperatures. The internal heat sinks are blown by two fans. That's what dissipates the heat from the CPU and GPU. The entire unibody doesn't really help in that regard.
Try this: encode a 1080p video while having your internal fans on max. Then use a fan and blow on the laptop. It does not make your CPU temps go down at all.
I have had wrapsol on all my laptops and it does not insulate anything.
Does anyone know if either the Zagg or the Wrapsol covers the sides and corners? I'm pretty sure the Wrapsol doesn't, but I'm wondering if the Zagg does. I have the Zagg on my iPad and it includes all corners and I love it. However, after reading what others have posted re the Wrapsol, I'm leaning toward that for my rMBP.
The wrapsol comes with two strips of protection just for the corners of the mbp. Unfortunately, it's only 2 corners you can cover at one time because the kit only includes TWO STRIPS! I wish they would provide 4 strips so all four corners are protected. I have them in the FRONT two corners rather than follow the instructions on placing them in the rear considering I will bump into things more from the front than the rear.
