    Hello -

    Anyone have a good suggestion for a screen protector? I'm not too concerned about glare, and I'd like whatever I buy to be 'non-intrusive.' Just looking for something to protect against scratches.

    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    If you're going to purchase the green onion, make absolutely sure that your work environment is dust/distraction-free.

    I've seen people ruin their screen protectors from having cat hairs amongst other things sneak in there during the install process.

    If you have pets, I would do it at a friends house/campus study room/office environment.

    My green onion is sitting at my doorstep now. Have the two widths of tape all ready that they recommend in the video..

    If you do get one go to their website for sure. They have an install video that is WAY useful looking about getting out bubbles and lint/hair while installing.

    If you follow it it should be a much easier install. I will post personal experiences tonight! :D

    Yes it was!!!!

    Install was a real PITA!

    I still have a tiny bubble or two you can see when the computer is off(or when your screen is all white like on google webpage). that I will be working out over time but have to say...this thing really helps with making the screen visable in sunlight :D It's not perfect but a nice step in the right direction.

    Also nice to have something to help protect the screen. I know if I had to do it again it would be MUCH easier as you really learn what WOULD have made it easier on the first install..lol

    Overall pain to install but great results :)

    Hahaha...I'm not looking forward to it when I buy it. I actually have question about it, is it a pretty good scratch resistance screen protector? Or do you put something in between the keyboard and the screen when you close it (e.g. shaggy mac; I use a microfiber cloth)?
