Nice, but could use some refinement for its pricepoint.Jan 29, 2010
Overall, I like the Moshi PalmGuard, but I think based on its not-so-cheap-for-a-piece-of-plastic status, it could use some work. Application was fairly easy, however I found that the strip above the trackpad when installing it from the bottom up (as they suggest) got a bit of a buckle in it. I was able to adjust it carefully and get it to adhere, but it did come up one more time an hour later. Once this is in place, I'd suggest really pushing hard all around to ensure proper adhesion. Much easier to install than a screen protector though, that's for sure.
The trackpad protector works well, and allows all finger gestures, but I'd like it to be a smoother texture. It's not quite as silky smooth as the uncovered surface, and takes a little getting used to. The other problem I noticed, and honestly just wasn't prepared for due to the nature of the palmrest cover, was the presence of air bubbles. So word to the wise: imagine the trackpad cover is a screen protector and really try carefully to avoid trapping air. I'll give this a little more time, but the trackpad cover may have to come off soon. I'd rather have paid less for the palmrest cover and not had the trackpad cover bundled with it.
UPDATE: Within hours of posting this, of course the band running along the top of the trackpad is now perpetually buckling up and not adhering properly. The surface was prepared before application to get rid of any grease or dust, but this thing is just not adhering properly in that area, especially when the battery is charging and the surface becomes warm. I have contacted Moshi's customer service, so hopefully they address this problem soon.

 Wonderful product, works perfectly, installs easilyNov 08, 2009
I am so glad that I bought this product. Moshi really makes great, high quality items. They apply very easily in seconds, can be removed and reapplied with no fuss or residue, and it blends in well with the aluminum of the unibody model. I was a little bit worried that the trackpad cover would decrease usability but I have not had any problems with it at all, even when using the special features like pinch, 2 finger scroll, three finger scroll, etc... If you want to protect your mac from dirt, oil, and scratches then you should definitely invest in this product.
Good BuyOct 05, 2009
Was a little nervous my finger pad wouldn't work through the protective film but I haven't had any problems.
Good product!
Great ProductAug 12, 2009
The product is great. While trying to apply it to the macbook pro, I had to remove it and apply it again a couple of times and it did not leave any residue. It fits perfectly. The trackpad protector comes separately. I installed the trackpad protector after some hesitation as the previous comment said that it disabled some functions. But it worked for me. I do have to tap a little harder for the tap to click to work. However, for the protection that it offers, it is worth it.
Great product!!

 Good protectionApr 28, 2009
Protects the unibody well, where you rest your palms while working on your MacBook Pro laptop; however, the cover that sits on the trackpad prevents the user from its full potential; i.e. you can't use the multi-finger movements, can't use the light tapping, etc. The only thing that works is the actual clicking of the trackpad
