screen protector on a macbook pro retina

[virginia sustarsic]

<p>will be getting a new macbook pro retina 15" and using it for photography, anyone using a screen protector? i see there are thin filmy ones and rigid plastic ones, can you suggest a good one, or do you think they will interfere with view of the images, thanks, virginia</p>

<p>I don't use one on my 13# MBP or my iPhone. You couldn't tell by looking at the screen--and I do not baby my equipment.</p>

<p>The retina MBP display is a glorious thing to behold. I wouldn't want to have anything between it and me!</p>

<p>I've never used a screen protector on my Mac (or any...) laptops. It really doesn't need one, because, unlike an iPhone, you're not carrying it exposed in your pocket or purse with your keys. And it's not a touch screen, so you've really little reason to be getting fingerprints on it (though most of us do, anyway).</p>

<p>And I haven't used one on my iPhone 4 & 5S, either. I just stopped carrying the phone in the same pocket with the keys...</p>

<p>I have nothing on mine, doesn't need it. Very easy to clean up unlike the matt screens of the past. </p>

<p>Long answer is....no.</p>

<p>MacBook Pro, no; iPad, yes. An iPad is subject to abuse in normal use, whereas the MacBook sleeps completely protected.</p>
