I have some very faint scratches on my macbook. I dont know how they got there - i store the MB in the little sleeve it came with.
Anyways, is there some way of getting rid of these light scratchs?

I am going to get bestskinsever or invisible shield, will the scratches show through?

Yeah a friend of mine has a white Macbook with similar problems, although he is very rough with the machine. It depends on whether you own a matte black Macbook or a white one. If you own a white Macbook then you could try using some non-abrasive scratch removers. Like a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser (alot of people seem to think that this works) or you could try using some Silvo and some elbow grease to remove the scratches.

Good Luck

If you're really bothered by scratches, you might want to have a look at the Speck SeeThru hard case for the future. They can be helpful in reducing wear and tear.
