[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1062950, member: 140470"] I don't think the issue is that the printed writings on the keys get transferred to the screen. I think the issue is that the keyboard leaves scratch marks on the screen due to it rubbing against the keys. I haven't heard too many complaints about this problem with the new MBPs so I don't know if it's a common issue. I don't have either problems on my mid-2009 MBP. What Apple did with the unibodies is that they added a rubber gasket around the edge of the screen to keep the screen from touching the keyboard. It seems it's not 100% foolproof but it works for me. Of course if you put weight on top of your laptop then it will press the screen down on the keys. The rubber gasket isn't very thick so I don't think much extra weight is needed. My old PowerBook had issues with screen marks because it didn't have the rubber gasket outline. I don't use any screen protection and won't unless I see that it's a problem with my MBP. If you are concerned that it doesn't hurt to use protection as been mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
