I wonder if these are any good. Seems pretty thin. Might be better for a device like an iPod.

Quoted: BodyGuardz are a clear film that covers the body of a device providing scratch protection from outside elements. Designed to custom fit each particular device, these protectors are made from the same material that is used to protect the front of automobiles from stones and other abrasive elements. Tough and durable, you can be assured that your device is protected by BodyGuardz.

I think these are the best screen protectors made. They are stiffer than others, so they're easier to get on properly, and they don't peel. I have had one of these last a year of abuse in my pocket, compared with a few months with the thinner protectors. The transparent backing with a grid on makes it easy to cut it to the right size. Cutting them is easy, so buy the universal ones for more flexibility.

To apply without getting fingerprints on the glue, bend the backing halfway, starting from the top (where it's separated). Fold the backing over and, since the protector is stiff, it will stick out, rather than flopping over. Put that end down at one end of your screen, then press down with the squeegee card and peel the backing away as you go forward.

I'm dotting this one because it has the best picture of the protectors themselves, but Amazon may not be the best place to get them. And here they're labeled as "Body Glove" but they're actually made by Fellowes. I bought mine at Radio Shack.

LAPTOPS are sometimes more convenient than desktop computers, but they can generate a lot of heat. After it sits on a bed, a sofa or a lap for an extended period of time, a notebook computer can become uncomfortably hot, even dangerous.
