Zagg Invisible Shield on MacBookPro Unibody 2010

Hello !
I have few questions related to the install of the invisible shield on the new macbook pro.Here they are :
1)Do you recomend installing protective films like zagg ones on MacBookPros like the new unibody ?
2)Are there any risks involved doing the "exterior" shield install ?
3)After searching all over internet , i've "detected" not 6 Liquid Submersion Indicators, not 4 as internet articles revealed.Does anybody know more info about their placing and their sensivity ? I don't want to ruin my applecare .

Thanks in advance ,
Adrian.

MacBookPro 15' 2010, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

1) Those protective films stop your Mac getting scratched on their flat surfaces - they don't protect the corners. If you want to protect against those possible scratches, go ahead and use them.

An additional benefit is that it makes the Mac less slippery, which is useful if you carry it around a lot.

2) As long as the film is designed correctly and does not cover your ventilation slots, there is no risk at all.

3) Any liquid on a computer is crazy dangerous to the computer. Don't worry about the location of the sensors, worry about the liquid!

I surely don't intend to destroy a 2000$ laptop by denting it etc . I bought ishield just for scratch protection ( daily usage )
I've mounted the top part of the ishield and been very careful with the openings ; after opening the laptop's top half i've noticed some liquid managed to enter in the gap between the rubber band a the display , so i made a little vacuum and it went out perfectly. I've got a little freaked out when i saw liquid at the margin , even though i covered all openings..
Thanks for ur reply , do you think it's normal ? here's a pic with the laptop with the top half is mounted

Good job! Neater than I ever managed. Just keep a tissue or towel handy to catch those stray drops.
