    Hey guys,

    I am thinking of ways (economical) to protect the plamrest of my MbA. The moshi plamguard seems to be an expensive option and would like to know any other methods of protection, that you guys would recommend?

    thanks in advance

    I'm sure there are several solutions from 3rd party vendors but TBH, if you're protecting your $1000USD computer I don't see where the Moshi Palmguard for $20 USD is expensive. For example I've seen many threads of people scratching their palmrest from their watch or getting corrosion from sweaty palms. Neither of these can be reversed once they happen so the $20 investment would be worth it. Moshi has gotten a lot of good reviews. Some cheaper 3rd party solutions may not lay or stick well.
    You can check Ebay for the Moshi Palmguard, possibly a bit cheaper.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Really appreciate it.

    The reason why I'm asking this is mainly due to the fact that I'm currently in India and will be traveling to the Caribbean via UK, where I will be i staying for five days ((in UK). Unfortunately, the apple online store for the UK does not stock the 11 inch moshi palmguard.

    Does anyone know if this is something that can be bought in-store, rather than online?
