There are two reasons iPhone users add screen protector:


• your iPhone could get dropped face down on a rock, and get broken


The MacBook Pro screen does not open far enough to get broken by falling on a rock.


• You could scratch it by accident with watches or jewelry.


MacBook Screen is not a touch screen. You are unlikely to scratch it because there is generally no need to touch it.


There is no need for a screen protector on a MacBook Pro. Installing one will damage the screen coating and interfere with the clearance in closing the display.


DON'T install a screen protector.

Thanks. I only ask because my dog knocked it off the couch and broke the screen. I had only had it a month. It's fixed because of Apple care+.


Well, I guess it is a learned take-home lesson. Glad to here you invested in the AppleCare+ it can be a life saver.
