Closing the display with screen protector

I use a "Shaggy Mac" screen protector (cloth) whenever I close the display. However, when I try to close the display with the cloth in place, I have to exert a little extra pressure to make sure the lid fully closes... its not difficult to close, but its certainly not as easy as it is without the screen protector. Is this ok for the display? Thanks!

If you're just closing the lid while it sits on your desk, then no, I don't think it's necessary. But I pack mine in a crowded backpack full of books, and that appears to be enough to compress it to the point where the key-tops touch the screen. With grazing light, I can see that they've already had a slight effect on the screen surface.
I just use the thin sheet of plastic foam that shipped with my MacBook. It serves the purpose, is precisely the right size and is very cheap.

  • Should I keep the Otterbox Defender screen protector for iPhone 4S

    Hello everyone! I have a quick question. I own a Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4S and was thinking about removing the built in screen protector and replacing it with a Invisible Sheild from Zagg. Do you guys think I should do this? Also do you think a full body Zagg can protect my iPhone without a case? Let me know your thoughts and opinions! Thank you!

    I originally used the Otterbox Defender with my 4S, and I immediately removed the built-in screen protector. I didn't like the way it felt when using the touch screen. Instead, I applied a screen protector directly to the screen. (I can't remember the brand since it's been almost two years.) I didn't care about dust protection. I just cared about impact protection.
    After a few months, I ditched the Defender because it was too bulky. I've used an Incipio case since then and my phone still looks like new.

  • What is the best privacy screen protector for the MacBook Air?

    I am looking for a privacy screen protector for my 13" MacBook Air that will interfere the least amount possible with image clarity and such. I work in a busy university medical center as an intern (so sadly I do not have my own office) and would like to be able to use my MacBook while sitting somewhat close to other people. Privacy is an issue because the information I deal with is protected by HIPAA and FERPA. What are the best privacy screen protectors out there, as far as quality and performance go?

    Best there is, is the 3M privacy screen

    3M has the entire marked cornered in quality exotic plastic films and screens.

  • Macbook - closed the display lid and the computer restarts

    any ideas ... i have tried restarts, reparing permission, reinstalls .... its like using windows ... or maybe even in iphone as it seems this too is struggling.
    i miss when the products just worked, time and time again
    do i just need to take this into apple for help or will there finally be an update to resolve this problem ...
    i need to depend on this computer - any idea.
    thanks for your insights.

    one of our brand new MacBooks has the same exact problem: occasionally, when closing the display the macbook will spontaneously close all programs without providing a "save" prompt and restart.
    being brand new - it has the latest firmware, and i've updated to 10.4.10.
    anyone else having this issue - any resolutions? i agree that it's most likely a hardware malfunction.

  • Question about the SGP Oleophobic screen protector

    I just ordered one of the SGP Ultra Oleophobic protectors and was curious about their longevity. I never used a screen protector on my 3g and never had a scratch, but after some of the horror stories I've heard, I decided to put one on my iP4. Anyway, I don't have much a frame of reference as to how long these things last. Should I expect to buy a set twice a year/every two months? What has been your experience?

    Resolved. Went to Genius Bar this morning to discuss yellow-screen issue.
    The Genius looked at my iPhone (which is yellow), looked at my girlfriend's iPhone (which is okay). Brought both iPhones to the back office, came back within minutes, and said "compared both to my iPhone yours (the yellow one) obviously looks more yellow. I will compare yours with other display iPhone models, and we will give you a replacement if we still find yours too yellow."
    So he brings me and goes to in-store display iPhones, and compares. Mine looks obviously more tinted and looks worn out. He admits my screen is defective, and goes on to give me a new replacement phone. Screen looks awesome, and it works very good.
    My original phone (yellow one) serial number started with 868. My gf's iPhone starts with 888. And my new replacement iPhone starts with 878.
    Now this is just my thoughts, but if other yellow phones are also serial batch 868, I believe it is the defective batch. Maybe not, but it is possible.

  • Closing the display kicks me off line

    i have a brand new macbook and everytime i close the display or if my screen saver kicks in i get kicked off of aim. is there a way to prevent this from happening?

    display [...] i get kicked
    off of aim.
    Closing the screen/lid forces the MacBook into sleep mode (ie. connections are also lost).
    1. I suggest closing the lid as far as possible without having the MacBook go to sleep.
    2. Or attach a mouse, close the lid and press a mouse key to wake it up with the lid closed.
    3. Close lid, wait until sleep, open lid somewhat, try and press a key on the keyboard, close lid again.

  • Closing the display w/o sleeping.

    hey, i was just wondering if anyone here knew of a way to be able to close the mbp screen without the computer shutting itself off in sleep mode. I'm backing up my hard drive and i'd rather not have to leave the screen open.

    You can run the MBP with the lid closed if you have it hooked up to another monitor. Here is how. Sleep the MBP. With the lid closed, Connect external monitor, and turn Monitor on. Plug in power supply, then USB Keyboard, and it should wake up on the external monitor only. If it doesn't wake up, hitting the space bar should wake it. I wouldn't run it long this way. But if you open the lid after waking it on external monitor, Lid monitor stays dark. If you want to use 2 monitors, either wake it with the lid open, or open it and select Detect Displays from the Displays Preference panel. Mine is a little screen in the menu bar. I always keep my PowerBook G4-17 attached this way when it is in the office. 4 years and going strong. I suppose running it half the time with the lid closed might hurt it, maybe that's why the airport died 3 days after AppleCare ended! I don't think it gets as hot as this MBP does

  • Shut off Powerbook Display without closing the Display

    I just set up a great external monitor and everything is appearing on the external perfectly. There is nothing appearing on the PBs internal display except for the blue desktop background. I don't want the built in display to get burned with the blue desktop pattern. I am using the PBs keyboard as my main keyboard. Is there any way in Tiger to make the built in display turn off without having to use the display-closed mode so that I can continue to use the PBs keyboard?
    Thank you!

    eww,
    Duh! I thought that there would be more to it.
    Thank you again, very much!!!

  • IPhone 4 Case WITH Screen Protector

    what case do you guys recommend to use WITH a screen protector?
    I read that a lot of the cases will cause the screen protector to peel up on the edges thus causing bubbles
    thanks

    I personally wanted a case that is as slim as possible. My preference was not to ruin such a cool, contemporary design with a bloated case that looks like the Michelin man is hugging your iPhone. So, I chose this one (screen protection kit is included): http://bit.ly/dzJx89

  • Need a silicone case with screen protector for Zen Mi

    Anyone seen a silicone case like the ones on ebay for the zen micro, but one that has a screen protector like the iSkins do? I need a case, the vaja are way too expensi've and I don't want anything bulky like the leather cases I've seen.

    One more option: I have read and seen all of the case posts and had decided on the pdaen leather belt pouch, because it has a flip over snapable face protection with total accessability otherwise. Then I was working outside one day and it was raining slightly so I started using small plastic bags--ziplock and another which is like the bag at the grocery store that you put your produce in. I make a tiny incision for the jack and either tie or zip the open end. This works so well that I am no longer looking for a bag of any kind. It keeps out the dirt and more importantly, moisture, and it gives me exactly the same access as I had before I wrapped it-- touchpad and all. Not at all stylish, I know, just practical and functional.
