(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best laptop screen protectors

I remember someone posting here a while ago about applying a matt protector over their Chromebook screen. Looked great.

However I can't remember if it was a TCB2 or another model.

I'd like to apply a matt cover to mine.

If you are out there, please help.

Edit: With the power of Google.

In case anyone comes to this thread via search, I got a Moshi iVisor and absolutely love it. I was hesitant because it's much more expensive than any of the other ones ($70 when I bought it), but it was effortless to install and even inside the house it's way better, and I can actually use it outside. I really hate not having matte screens and now I am happy.

Unfortunately Apple discontinued the matte screen... Which was wonderful. I can sit in the sun with my MBP and the glare isn't an issue.


This is the best-reviewed option, unless you want to get a Mac Mini and a field monitor.

If you are in EU this is it buddy

But there probably is an equal on Amazon.com

The ones I buy for my users laptops stick to the screen just like a phone screen protector.

Depends on where the light source come from. You definitely going to notice reflection with darker background or application but not to the point where it bothers me.

I am sure there are those anti glare sheets you can layover to solve that issue (assuming you still want touchscreen)

I just bought this, I will let you know if it fits when I get it

i found this

These ones?

I bought a matte screen protector and it has worked well for me. It ruins the use of the webcam which is garbage anyways.

This is the one I purchased. I'll leave it up to you to see if the company makes one of the size you need:

something like this would do but just looking up "anti glare mbp 15 screen protector" on amazon will give you plenty to choose from

Maybe this might work?

Not sure if it is matte, though.

Looking at the product on Amazon, it looks like they do have one particularly for Yoga. They also have protectors for both the 'touch' and 'non-touch' X1C panels. The drop down there lists all the different Lenovo machines. Also there are different types of protectors ex. "Anti Glare", "Privacy", "Clear" etc. The one I installed is the "Anti Glare" version for X1C Non touch panel.

Correct, just the keyboard. https://www.amazon.com/RadTech-Notebook-Gear-ScreenSavrz-MacBook/dp/B01NAND0X4

I think That’s all you really need for the problem you’re describing

Sorry, I used the wrong link for the screen protector. I changed the link in my post. Here the matte screen protector.

It's probably the glossy display. I put a matte screen protector on it. This made me feel like I wasted $15 for a screen protector, but it works and eliminates the glossy reflection problem. The thing is, your eyes are looking at 2 images at the same time and you're going to have to strain to look at the image you want to look at. Obviously that's going to put some strain on them.

Bullshit.

The glare is the worst thing about the Retina MacBook Pro, easily.

We were looking at buying a bunch of antiglare covers for our systems at work, such as these: http://www.amazon.com/Moshi-iVisor-Anti-Glare-Protector-MacBook/dp/B009J90R4W

It may not be as bad as the old MacBook "Glossy" displays, but it's still terrible.

I would recommend getting something that fits a couple of internal hard drives packaged in a Pelicase. I transport a lot of Photography gear including some hard drives / SSDs for on-site backups with those, they are pretty much the industry standard (in my field) for getting gear to the shoot / job in one piece. Water resistant, you can park your car on it, can shoot them with a shotgun etc. The only problem: It makes you look like a weapons smuggler / James Bond Bad Guy, so be prepared for extensive security checks in airports.

I would check the size of the 5-bay Storage though. There will be a pelican case for it though.

There's your answer. I'm willing to bet the other guy who had a screen replacement used a rubber/plastic sheet over the keyboard as well. Apple instructs people not to do it because it fucks the screen.

The tolerances are so small that when you close the lid, the rubber sheet applies pressure on the screen and that can lead to premature failure. I spoke to a tech who worked at the store I bought my second MacBook from and he said that he's seen a few cases where people used a rubber keyboard " condom " and it ended up damaging the screen.

Edit : webpage from apple on the usage of keyboard covers

>How bad is the screen glare? Is it bad enough not to get it?

Possibly moot. If the glossy screen was a problem, you can just get a matte screen protector (this kind of thing) for $10-20.
