Macbook Protection

I am getting a MacBook Pro with Retina Display (13-inch) at Christmas.

I have been researching skins, cases and sleeves. As a result, I have come to the conclusion that I will be purchasing a skin for my new laptop: cases often build up dust and create scratching; and sleeves leave the MacBook vunerable while in operation.

I have seen two companies that manufacture these clear skins for the laptop.
These are ZAGG, with their InvisibleShield and, BodyGuardz, with their UltraTough Clear Skins.

I have linked the two products below:

I would like to know if anyone has used either of these products as I am currently indecisive.

Thank you all!

EDIT

I have decided to go with a case instead after reading many online articles and xTriickz's comment:
xTriickz wrote I've had my case on for 1 year now and I take it off and clean everything about once a week. Don't have a scratch on it. I would recommend a case over a skin just because the case is going to give you the overall protection, not just scratch prevention. But, then again if you prefer the skin, go for it. Just giving you my own person opinion. :satisfied:


I have been looking at the Moshi range of products, of which are linked below:

I would like to know if anyone has used any of these products.

Thank you all!

I saw these skins during my research. However, I am in preference of a clear skin.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

Body Guardz. I got one a while back and it was perfect. Brand new once i removed it.
Also be very careful with the pro it gets damaged easily. Also clean your keys a lot

Do you know if either case provides full protection? I'm concerned about the sides.

Thank you.

I've had my case on for 1 year now and I take it off and clean everything about once a week. Don't have a scratch on it.

Would I not get dust build up, causing scratches?

Thanks.
