Hi

Is anyone using these ScreensavRz on their PB's?

Do they make the machine hotter?

Thanks.

I got one for my old 17". Unfortunately i lost the screensaverz, i left it at a starbucks and someone took it in the brief time i left it there. Pissed me off. Anyway they do what they are supposed to, course so does the piece of foam that comes inside the pb between the keyboard and screen.

I enjoy mine, keeps the oils from my fingers of my monitor, and when used as a wipe really just cleans the dust and little gobs of spit off

1. Yes, I do.
2. No, my PowerBook is always sleeping when I use my ScreensavRz.

Ditto. I also use the radtech with my iPod photo and it works wonderfully as well.

I have one for my 15", does what it's supposed to do... I like it b/c it's very durable and allows me to wipe the screan and my external LCD (as well as my iPod) down. Also, you can wash them in the washing machine and wet them to clean your powerbook all over. A good investment IMHO for such an expensive machine.

Almost magical how well it cleans the screen, and no chemicals needed.

I have nothing but the utmost praise for RadTech's products thus far after being referred to them by a good friend. I have a ScreensavRz and I use it all the time and it doesn't do anything but exactly what it's intended. I also have the PowerSleevZ which works great, though it's a bit of a tight fit, although it's gotten easier to slip on and off over time.

In particular, I recommend OmniCleanz which cleans, well, everything. It doesn't take much, it's perfectly safe, and it's returned my 15" PB to as good as new.

I actually spray glued a piece of a manilla folder behind mine because I was still seeing keyboard marks on my screen.

Would radtech be a better option than the ACME Powerbook covers ? I want a radtech with the big X logo, but the acme also looks cool.
