Read reviews before buying.

I guess I should have read the reviews before buying this item, due to the fact that the color of the space grey is way off mark! If you are looking for something to protect your computer from scratches, then 5 stars all day, but as far as cosmetics, it's a horrible match, it actually looks more silver than space grey, need to fix this ASAP! Heck my Ethernet adapter did a better job if color matching and it's made of aluminum.

Pros
  • Reduces eye strain by providing a non-reflective surface
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove without leaving adhesive residue on the MacBook surface

It's a good product, I was unlucky

I feel like this palm rest is pretty well designed. It installed easily after thorough cleaning of the Macbook Pro top plate - no bubbles etc. By design the adhesive for these types of products is not very strong. It has to be forgiving or you would never be able to remove it. The outer right corner has become curled up and damaged. It will not lay down because the glue is not strong enough and the material has become creased. I'm not sure how this happened, but it probably was from the…

Pros
  • Can be used on other devices as well, such as keyboards and smartphones
Cons
  • May attract pet hair and other debris, leading to hygiene concerns

Great protection with unnoticeable color difference

Yesterday I took my computer to work with me and got the trackpad and palm rest areas sweaty and dirty. When I got home I immediately put this on and it was so nice! It took about 5 tries to get it correctly aligned and never had any issues with bubbles. I also have a case on my laptop and this skin fits well in it without being lifted on the sides. The trackpad is still sensitive as ever and while the color/finish is different, I don't think it's that noticeable.

Pros
  • Compatible with 2019 Released MacBook Pro 16 inch Model A2141 with Touchbar and Touch ID
Cons
  • May not be a perfect color match for the MacBook, leading to aesthetic inconsistencies

Provides a nice tactile feel

One of the things that always concerns me about my laptops is wear on the palm rest and trackpad. This protector abates that, and it does so very well.The adhesive doesn't leave residue, which is important. It has a little bit of texture to it as well, which provides a nice tactile feel. I haven't noticed any lack of responsiveness from the trackpad, either from taps or from clicks. Application is easy, and the quality of the adhesive helps in adjusting it.The only beef I have (and it's not…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May interfere with the operation of the MacBook's built-in speakers

Its nice but the size is off

It has been a nice protector, and looks nice. The only problem is even though I tried to make it as perfectly placed as I could, I wanted something that I could place perfectly where it looks seamless. The size and with the adhesion sticking so well makes it very difficult to do that, and also the size is a little bit to small at the edges, which I was hoping it would be perfect for a product that is fit to size for an expensive computer, but other than that It is something I am glad I bought…

Pros
  • Prevents scratches and dents from forming on your laptop
Cons
  • May cause skin irritation for those with sensitive skin

So my watch left a extremely small dent on the unibody of my brand new MacBook Pro on the right wrist side as well as the left wrist side. As a perfectionist, it was driving me NUTS to see these dents. And being a first time MacBook owner, I didn't know they had screen protectors and trackpad/unibody covers until I saw a Apple forum and someone recommended this item. All I can say is I wish I would have purchased this BEFORE I scratched my MacBook. But the milk is already spilled, so that's…

Pros
  • Offers affordable protection for your MacBook Pro
Cons
  • May prevent the MacBook from fitting into snugly-fitting cases and bags

Great protector on my review.

Bought it to protect my new MBPro 16 against body oils. Installation is easy after you clean your laptop with the provided cleanup pad, it can be applied quickly and can be reapplied if you don't put it on straight the first time. The entire bottom part of my laptop is covered and the cover for my trackpad covers it pretty much completely. Spend a little time simulating application before pulling the sticker of the sheet, it'll be worth it.Once it's applied, it feels snugly, and provides good…

Pros
  • Comes in a reusable packaging, reducing waste
Cons
  • May cause discomfort for prolonged periods of use

Utility guaranteed. Average quality. Good price.

I'm a practical person with a utilitarian mindset. It's fine. It mostly lines up perfectly with edges etc. You get a lot of value for the money. Buy this if you want to protect your machine from fading, scratches, etc, without breaking the bank. The giant sticker arrived faded in two corners which is only visible at night. The portion near the speakers lifts up occasionally. Regardless, I think it will make it. I'd buy again.

Pros
  • Renew the worn-out palm rest, It’s a great way to update your worn-out palm rest with a different fresh new look
Cons
  • May trap heat between the cover and the MacBook, leading to overheating

Durability, aesthetic look, and ease of application

I like the quality and ease of application of this product. I have a brand new, out-of-the-box 2020 Space Grey 16", 1 Tb MBP Space Grey, ($2800+ investment). The color match is almost, if not spot-on. I began applying and halfway through, checked for glue residue by lifting it up a little, and there was none; zero, just as advertised. So far, I am well pleased and would definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • Fits your 16-inch MacBook Pro A2141 (2019) perfectly
Cons
  • May not fit older MacBook models, limiting its versatility

Really good palm rest cover!

This palm rest is very nice. I found the it doesn't completely perfectly match the spacing of the palm rests on both sides of the trackpad, but it's very close. Same thing right around where you open your laptop from. The feel is very nice and now I no longer need to worry about my watch scratching the palm rest of my computer up or have any risk of any extra oils coming off of my skin and going onto the laptop body. Overall, I really do like the palm rest cover skin and it'll definitely stay…

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • May absorb sweat and oils from hands, creating an unhygienic environment

Obviously, you can see the cover. But nobody cares

I put this on to protect a new purchase. When I was doing so, I noticed that there was definitely clear visibility of the difference between the covered part of the aluminum and the raw aluminum Macbook Pro case. However, after a couple of weeks, I've totally forgotten it's even there. This stuff is seriously rugged, I would take a key to my brand new $4000+ laptop and not even bat an eye. No peeling at the edges, no discoloration. Really makes me happy with protecting my investment.

Pros
  • Prevent your new laptop to avoid scratches by watch, buckles, jewelry and other metal objects
Cons
  • May obscure the MacBook's design, rendering it less recognizable

Awesome 😎 for my opinion

Overall, it is very easy to install and does not affect too much of the sensitivity of the trackpad. You have to trim the edges of the trackpad protector by following the matte clear sticker on the back of it otherwise it will overlap with the palm rest cover skin. The feeling is a little rougher than the actual MacBook and the color does not blend in as much as it looks like it does in the picture, but it is expected. Overall lovely. Waiting to see the durability of this protector.

Pros
  • Extends the trackpad life, resistant scratch, dust and normal wear and tear damage
Cons
  • May cause reduced responsiveness of the trackpad

Perfect fit on my MacBook Pro

Perfect fit on my MacBook Pro. I ordered the space gray version. It's not a perfect color match since it is made of a vinyl-like material, but a very close match, and under some lighting it does appear to match perfectly. It's a tough material and goes on easily if you take your time and apply it with patience. Clean the surface thoroughly and make sure it is dry. I started with the track pad first and them applied the larger palm pad cover. It's a precise fit so apply with care. If you need to

Pros
  • Adds a layer of protection to your MacBook Pro without being bulky or heavy
Cons
  • May block access to important ports and connectors on the MacBook

Does the job, but I have some suggestions for improvement

I always purchase a wrist/palm protector for my new MacBook Pro, as I wear a watch and the buckle has worn the surface in the past. This product is as described and I am not displeased with it. However I do have two suggestions.1. Though the color is not bad. my previous protector was an exact match. A better match in color will give you better reviews2. The cut of the protector was almost too exact which made application more difficult. Let me explain. If the protector just a hair smaller it…

Pros
  • Minimizes noise while typing
Cons
  • May make it difficult to see the keyboard in dimly lit environments

Fits .sort of best in my review

The larger portion (for the palm rest area) fits well. The sticker for the trackpad area is too large for the 2020 release 16" MacBook Pro. It is too large and hangs over the edge of the trackpad area. The thickness is nice and feels like it will last a while. Bummed that the trackpad portion does not fit. That is really what I needed to protect from wear.

Pros
  • Ultra thin 0.2mm- you can hardly feel it is there, easy to use.
Cons
  • May increase the weight of the MacBook and make it less portable
