Overall this is a great quality skin for a Macbook laptop. It closely matches the original OEM color. Easy to re-apply and re-align if you make any mistakes during application. I only gave it 4 stars since it doesn't include any cleaning wipes or cloths (which other "skins" brands include at no charge).

This fits perfectly on my MacBook Pro but I just find the screen protector very thin and fragile.

First off, READ everything so you understand what's what and secondly GO SLOW and clean everything VERY well so you don't get dust, pet hair etc trapped underneath. I can't stress doing this in a clean air environment or simply washing it well and letting it set and they use mouth to blow lightly any dust that landed back onto the surface.I peeled the entire backing off of each item because pulling the adhesive backing is a bit tricky when it's also partially stuck to the surface, just make sure to pull slow and evenly and not to CREASE the protectors. It sounds a bit scary but it's not at all, just GO SLOW. I did and took 20 mins for everything from cleaning to dust free and adhesion.I didn't use the trackpad cover at all as I like the trackpad nice and smooth and not to have a "texture" which it will but it's a nice texture too, just not for me. when you do the LCD screen part, clean the hell out of the screen and fully dry it, let it sit for a couple mins and then use the dry smooth pad to remove any fingerprints you don't want trapped underneath, THEN spray it with warm water so it moves freely easily, this helped immensely in alignment for this LCD cover installation part so I could move the whole thing around to get it perfect. DO NOT use this on the 3M other pieces, they have adhesive and water won't help it and make it harder to install but apply it VERY loosely at first because you may have to VERY slowly pull it back up a little bit to align it. It's VERY tight and exact fitting which is awesome but it's easy to have some hang over the edges too so you will have to adjust it a bit, so take your time and get it stuck on loosely and slowly rub your hands to finish the install and also making sure it's aligned before pushing too hard so it'll come back up easily of you have to make adjustments. once happy smooth it out by hand all over and make sure nothing is hanging over the edge or it WILL catch on something and peel up. The bottom and top outer parts are the easiest just make sure everything lines up and then go back after any adjustments to rub a bit harder so it adheres down all the way but leave it kinda loose the first time just in case so it peels back up easily for adjusting.Ity all sounds harder than it is but the key is to leave everything loose until happy and all air bubbles or dust is off THEN rub it all down hard using the dry cloth provided (on the screen especially so you don't fingerprint it all up)This is cut so precise you just have to take it slow but you can get an absolute PERFECT fit if you take your time. I HATE installing this stuff and I got mine 100% even first try with no adjusting needed but I took my time and went very slowly too.The worst part for me was the little dust particle that got behind the lcd screen piece so put that on evenly and lightly and use the little dust sticker provided to "tap" on that little particle if you see it then smooth everything down or you'll see it trapped under there for life and it could drive you nuts depending on you OCD lol.That it, just GO SLOW, PREP and CLEAN? very well and you'll have zero issues installing these parts. Again, mine took literally 20-30 mins if that, more like 20 after I cleaned everything VERY nicely on my new 2018 Air. Hold it to the light sideways to see if you have fingerprints too. I had several I couldn't see straight on, then apply with the screen off so you can see bubbles and stuff under the screen if any and get them out before pressing it on tight.The ONLY complaint or CON I have is that, while this covering 3M material is thin, my clamshell bottom tabs BARELY snap once this cover is on, the tabs were already very tight and the 1mm material adds just enought to where the bottom clamshell case doesn't quite snap on like it used to before unless I REALLY push on them so I might just take the case off, but I don't want to mar the new covering either even though that's what it's meant for. I also got the silver color for my space grey machine so it has a 2-tone look which is kinda cool. I had one weird issue I worked with the manufacturer with, my laptop (Air Retina) got hot and it peeled up a tiny bit in the bottom side and because the heat stretched it a bit I couldn't get it to stick back down without a crease forming. It's VERY small and usually heat only makes these stick even better so I had some kind of weird fluke but definitely NOT gouging this product or the seller. They are AWESOME!!! Just be VERY slow going and take your time and smooth it out as you go and peel back the backing a bit at a time as you go. The key is to get it started as straight as you possibly can so as you go it'll all fall into place perfectly. I got mine 99.9% perfect on the the first try. Clean the hell out of your surface area and let it dry completely and have the little dust removal sticky piece ready so you can remove any little particle that gets underneath. You can pull the shield back a tiny bit to do this if you notice a piece of duty or a pet hair etc so that's why you do tiny parts at a time. If you follow this it'll look amazing after you're done. DO NOT USE A CLAMSHELL or other hard case on this afterwards. It's too thick and you'll scratch it all up and the tabs of the clamshell won't fit around the laptop and the shield both. This is intended to replace having to use a clamshell.

I have ordered name brand skins before and was never super happy with the fitment and look of them. It was always something I put on to keep it looking clean and to cover up the few scratches it has. Stumbled upon this the other night and it was an immediate buy for me. My MBP is Space Gray and the color matching is almost identical. Be careful when applying it because the 3M is VERY ADHESIVE and you will cause it to stretch (especially around the logo) if you have to remove and reapply. Overall, I am beyond impressed with the quality, looks, and price of this product. Time will tell to see how it does against scratches and wear but I think it will do a great job at keeping the MacBook case scratch-free.

I almost never write reviews on Amazon, yet this product truly did exceed my expectations given other similar sellers on Amazon. The only reason I'm not awarding it 5 stars is the interior and exterior decals differ slightly in color. Note this review was not sponsored or endorsed by the manufacturer.As you can see from the pictures, the fit of this decal is almost EXACT, unlike other manufacturers where the Apple logo isn't cut correctly or the decal doesn't extend to the actual edges of the computer. The color matching on the exterior decals is also perfect, you cannot tell they have been applied.The only issue I have with the product is the shade of gray for the interior decals is darker than the exterior, so there is a much more clear contrast (still minor). It would have been great if the interior decals were the same color as the exterior ones. I also found the alignment VERY slightly off beneath the mouse and on 2 of the scroll holes on the rear decal (again very slight, 1mm or so as you can see in the pictures).Do not rush the installation process. It took me about 30 minutes to apply the 2 exterior decals and the palm rest decal. My advice is to keep the backing on half decal while you align the other half. This will prevent it from prematurely sticking to your computer and requiring you to peel and reapply (potentially stretching the decal in the process). When applying the top decal, I also recommend you start by aligning the Apple logo cutout, and work your way outwards towards the edges to minimize the chances of wrinkles or air bubbles.The product is well packaged, in a sturdy letter-type package, and includes 2 microfiber cloths, some screen cleansing wipes and the decals / screen protectors. The manufacturer was also kind enough to supply application instructions via email prior to delivery. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the product, I'd just wish all decals were the same shade of gray.Time will tell how well the adhesion performs. This is using 3M ControlTak adhesive, true to the product's description, so I expect it will hold up well and will not leave residue when removed. As of now, I highly recommend this product.UPDATE:Over 7 months later and the decals look just as good as they did on day 1. They have not peeled in the slightest, and maintain a uniform shade of gray. Highly recommend.
