[QUOTE="rpg51, post: 1417772, member: 234706"] Whatever. Maybe I'm the only one! In my own defense I will say that I have been using laptops almost exclusively for about 15 - 20 years and never once had a problem like this. It is the kind of thing you would not notice unless you look very closely while the screen is turned off and clean. Little tiny pin head dots. Interesting though that the pro is now glass - but not the air. Mine is an air. I'll be very very careful from now on. Tell me, what is the safe way to carry it in the car? I tend to place it in a neoprene sleeve and set it on the back seat all by itself. I think you are right you can never put ANYTHING on top of your closed MBA laptop without risking damage. And never put it in your brief case in a sleeve with a client file in the same brief case because you are looking for trouble. Come to think of it I have done that on a couple of occasions. Maybe that did it. There is a tendency to think of it as a file folder of sorts that can be put in a case and then in a brief case with other file folders - but it is not durable enough for that sort of thing. Yes I bet this is exactly what happened. MBA in neoprene sleeve, placed in brief case with perhaps three half inch thick files. Maybe I set it down upside down rather than on edge and the three 1/2 inch file folders caused it. I do think folks should be aware that damage can occur even when you are very careful - so beware! Not everyone is as careful as you are Nick. [/QUOTE]
