Is it worthy for me to use a screen protector on a New MacBook Pro 14inch 2021???
I spent 23USD last week on a screen protector just to avoid scratches on my expensive MacBook Pro but when the screen protector arrived, it just disappointed me because dust could still accumulate between the original screen and screen protector. That could risk my MacBook’s screen. What do you think folks, should I try another screen protector or just use my MacBook with it.
You should not use a keyboard protector on a Mac, for the very same reason you should not use a screen protector. Or, if you insist on using a keyboard protector, remove it each and every time before you close the screen.
Just clean the keys once in a while with a microfiber cloth which is slightly dampened and stop worrying about bubble wrapping it in order to use it. It's more durable than you give it credit for.

I fully agree with lobsterghost1, as a screen protector or keyboard cover can be catastrophic for your Mac's screen. You may want to read this - How To Protect Your MacBook (And How Not To) - Apple Community
If you have issues with drink spillage, you can still use a keyboard protector- just be sure to remove it before you close it. You may want to invest in spill-proof lids, too.
All you need is normal care and handling and these are not needed. My experience is these items, like other "helper" apps and items, are seldom what they are cracked up to be or worth the money and hassle.
While I'm a big proponent of screen protectors on devices like iPhone and iPad, which are touch devices, I would NOT put a screen protector on a Mac. For one, the screen is not a touch interface device. You look at it. You don't touch it. And two, the tolerance between the screen and keyboard is infinitely small. Depending on the thickness of the protector, it could put undue pressure on the screen when the screen is closed on the keyboard, creating the opportunity for more harm than good.
Wow, that’s true but the keyboard protector actually leaves marks on my screen when leave my MacBook closed for a long time and it’s even worse if dust accumulate on the keyboard protector which increases the pressure and even leaves clear marks on the screen. That’s why the idea of the screen protector spark my mind.
I understand, but using a keyboard protector also has another bad side effect. Your MacBook pro gets cool air from the keyboard. Covering it is making it operate at higher temperature, which isn't a good thing. Be more careful with liquids near the keyboard and you'll be better off without anything on the keyboard or screen.
sure, you’re right. Thanks 🙏🏿
the original MacBook Pro screen is even more clear compared with a screen protector.
I once spilled a drink accidentally on my older MacBook keyboard and that killed my old MacBook 💻. That’s why I’m trying to protect the new Mac 💻 from all unexpected things from happening.
You’re right 🙌 maintaining MacBooks is a responsibility Lol 😂 my kids don’t need to even get closer to it, otherwise another mess
Trust me, I get it. These puppies are expensive and we want them to last a long time. But let's NOT do things we think might be protective, which in reality may cause more harm than good!
