Will it damage my screen?


Probably.


Is it safe?


No.


Will it crack my display???


Possibly.


Apple specifically cautions us not to place anything between the display and the keyboard:


Using a camera cover, palm rest, or keyboard cover on a Mac notebook - Apple Support


"Leaving any material on your display, keyboard, or palm rest might interfere with the display when it's closed and cause damage to your display."

there are two reason you might want to install a screen protector on you PHONE:


one is that you might drop the display so that it hits a rock and cracks.

A: The MacBook Pro does not open far enough to drop on a rock and crack the screen.


the other is that you might damage the phone's touch-screen by touching it with something unusual.

A: the MacBook Pro is not a touch screen. Don't touch it with anything unusual, or for that matter, anything usual.


There is no reason to add anything to the surface of the screen on a MacBook Pro, and because it has a delicate anti-glare coming, it WILL be damaged by adding anything.


Don't.
