XPS m1330 keyboard scratching screen?

[carldaru]

I think that's the reason why the 1520 has the space between the top and bottom when it's closed and the latch doesn't close fully....Dell put that in purposely so that it wouldn't scratch the screen...which is fine with me, because let's admit, the 1520 is not trying to save space or anything in terms of thinness....

I have a black lappymat that I can try taking a picture of with my m1330 if you want. The black does look good with it. The only problem I have is that it covers almost the entire width of the notebook. This results in a disjoint closing when I try to lower the lid. The lid doesn't go down all the way anymore. There is a gap in which I can see the sides of the black lappymat.

What you need to do is go to Shaggymac and get yourself the original laptop screen protector. Lappymats is a recent lame ripoff attempt. Radtech has good stuff as well. Search for Shaggymac for many good reviews.

Rip off attempt? I own both a ShaggyMac & a LappyMat... I love my LappyMat more... they don't brand their products all over and they offer a lifetime warranty on the product. LappyMats was also listed on Toms Hardware for the 2007 Christmas buyers Guide.

j_essence - LappyMats site has some lame images of its products but I found that under the review section the reviewing sites took some detailed images... I found the i4U review helpful with images

darthsat - The LappyMat should cover the screen and keyboard just like Shaggymac's and Radtech's offerings. Also from the looks of your image you should pull your lappyMat forward a little bit...

I started noticing scratches too. You can't see it when the screen is on thank goodness. I had to get a shaggymat since lappymats are sold out.

...I decided to try a Lappymat too (in transit, will report may favorite when I get it).

Got it... well, got it a looong time ago, actually

The good: It's thin, it's coverage is just about perfect and it's black

The bad: I prefer the smooth version of microfiber cloth over the Lappymat's "coarse" surface, but this is just psychological and there's no reason to believe one is better than the other in removing dirt w/o scratching sensitive coated-surfaces like our panels.

Let's just say that I am content in giving my Oakley microfiber bags a good shake, but I will probably want to wash the Lappymat on a regular basis.

Last but certainly not least, I'd like to state that it took some effort on the part of Lappymat owner, Mathew Everett, to get the product shipped to me in Europe. Apparently the first few he shipped got lost in the Int'l postal system but luckily for me, Mathew's not only a professional business man, but a determined one at that

Sorry to bring this thread back alive, but wouldn't adding like two rubbery cushion things to the top corners of the laptop protect it from hitting the keyboard?

isn't that going to ruin the hinges?

anyway
