those are nice
had one for my mba
so is the census that the skins do increase the temp significantly?
Am I right that this is similar to Zagg and Wrapsol in that it is a "sticky" that is applied to the rMBP? Also, if I already have the Wrapsol and all I want this for is the sides, does either the top or bottom "only" options come with the side pieces?

It is 0.50 lbs and the dimensions are about 16 x 4 x 7 (h/w/l). Use the promotion code "facebook" to get a 25% off to help alleviate that hefty shipping cost to canada.
How does the wrapsol feel? I'm looking for something that is not "tacky", sticky, or grabbing feeling. I've tried bestskinsever and zagg on my ipod touch and those were my main complaints. My fingers couldn't glide very well over the surface because it was so sticky and tacky feeling. The zagg felt rough.
This is crazy! Why do companies charge so much to ship to Canada?
totally so now im reordering with the facbook coupon
$37.46 with free shipping to shiptoit (some reshipper ive heard good things from)
then a additional $8.50fee+$6.69 to have it come usps to avoid brokerage
so all said and done roughly $52.65 thats like half of what it would have been
No it is not sticky or tacky, my fingers slide over it, there is a slight texture to it. (It's less slippery than naked.) But thats more do to the texture not because it has that sticky feeling.
Great to hear there wasn't any residue. I was wondering about that.
Yesterday I covered my rMBP with the full Wrapsol kit. Installation went well. You do want things wet enough so the skin can slide in order for perfect positioning.
The skin is matte, not shiny, with just the right amount of grip. Very nice.
However, I ended up removing it from the trackpad. Although the Wrapsol's texture wasn't unpleasant, the smooth trackpad felt better to me.
I ordered the full kit which included the grip pad for the bottom. I might skip the mega-grip pad since the skin's grippyness feels just right. The grip pad might be overkill.
Agree. I had to remove the Wrapsol from 2 different MacBook Airs b/c of problems and the Apple store needed to open the bottom. Each time it was easy to remove w/ no residue or stickiness.
Also, Wrapsol provides a lifetime replacement for when you have to remove the skin. Just stick the old skin on a piece of paper, take pics of it to send them, fill out the form online and they will send you another one free. Well, except for a $7 shipping/handling fee. But given that you are getting a brand new one, its worth it.
I bought Wrapsol after reading these forums and I am in love with it. The only things I didn't install was the grip pad and trackpad.
