Hey guys. I'm looking to buy something that will cover my keyoard so that when I close the laptop I won't get any smudges/key scratches on my display. I saw in the Apple store that Marware sells a "protection pack" that comes with a keyboard cloth and a cushion for your wrists, but I'm really only looking for something that will cover the keys etc so my new shiny glass display stays pristine. Any suggestions?

I don't think covering the keyboard is necessary as there is a small clearance space when the top lid is closed. The new unibody construction which is used in the current line of aluminum MacBook should provide good protection for the display.

However, if you're suffering from screen mar paranoia, buy a chamois cleaning cloth in any auto parts shop and cut it to size so that it fits over your keyboard when you close the lid.

Regards.

I would suggest the Marware pack. I have it for my MBP and am very satisfied!

Have a look at this:
iSkin Products for your Mac or PC

It is a brilliant site with great quality products. I completely recommend them.
