ShieldZone is shipping its invisibleShield protective covering for Apple's MacBook Pro notebooks, letting users both protect and show off those sleek metal cases.
Salt Lake City’s ShieldZone today announced its invisibleShield protective coverings for Apple’s MacBook Pro line of notebook computers, enabling users to simultaneously protect and show off those sleek metal cases.
Three invisibleShield designs are available for either the 15-inch or 17-inch models of the MacBook Pro. The “standard shield” protects the trackpad, click button, and wrist areas on the inside of the notebook, as well as the outside top of the MacBook Pro. The second design covers the bottom of the laptop (enabling the users to set the system on virtually any surface, including abrasive things like cinderblocks) without scratching up the finish. The third variation is an all-encompassing shield: top, bottom, trackpad, mouse button, and wrist areas.
The standard shield is priced at $39.95; the bottom shield is $24.95 and the full-body armor costs $54.95. It may seems a little pricey for laptop protection, but for some folks, these sorts of protective coverings can be a lifesaver. ShieldZone makes protective covers for a number of electronic devices (iPods, camcoders, PDAs, watchs, tablet PCs, etc.) and I’ve personally seen a few of them in action on the road with digital cameras, GPS devices, and audio gear. And lest you think that protective film can’t be very tough, consider that ShieldZone originally developed it for the leading edges of helicopter blades. They’re certainly not appropriate for every laptop user, but for mobile professionals who may be using their systems in chancy environments

RSSShieldZone did not develop the film for use on military helicopter blades. The film was originally developed for helicopter blades by another company. ShieldZone only devised the alternate use of the film -- protecting digital gadgets -- in 2005.
