    Do you already have it or are you asking how to put it on?

    My macbook has it on the trackpad and button, I've read a few people who said they didnt like it on them and some who didnt mind, I'm among those who don't mind.

    Sorry if my post didnt make much sense. I already have the invis shield. I heared that some people didnt put the invis shield on the trackpad and button. I want to know why they didnt and if I should do the same.

    I have mine on the trackpad and wristpad. Having it on, i feel more comfortable knowing that it won't get worn out as easily. If you look at some pictures on the net, people with PB (or any laptop for that matter) have wear marks on the trackpad. Having it on prolongs the life of your system (IMO).

    As for the marks.. i'd say try cleaning it off or something.. I have a few marks on mine.. but its really difficult to take it off and reapple again so do it with caution.

    i have invisibleshield, but on my treo smartphone instead, but its the same thing, just smaller. I find that over time, the clear sticker will attract dirt, esp around the edges because of the adhesive. but I guess thats still better than getting scratches having the area look worn out from daily use.

    I took the IS off the trackpad. It made trackpad movement jittery.

    Mine works fine on trackpad and whatnot.

    I noticed that my IS was yellowing a bit and I contacted Shieldzone about it and they said such a thing was eligible for a free replacement, all i gotta do is give them 2 bucks for shipping and they'll send me a free replacement (this is part of the lifetime warranty)

    Also just to give a few people heads up, some people like to buy IS off of eBay, but be warned that such a purchase is not eligible for free replacements.
