I think getting a nasty, scruffy sunburn would be worth it just so you could turn the tables on Mrs. C. <br /><br />My new laptop came with the plastic cover. Left it on for a couple of weeks just to preserve the newness. The moment the cover was off a heavy object fell off a shelf and scratched the cover. (fortunately didn't crack the screen). My laptop is easily identifiable now.

It would drive me nuts to see, smudgy, peeling, scratched plastic on everything like that. The curled up edges collect dust and pet hair. It's far less durable than what it's "protecting."
