Is there a Macbook Pro Screen Protector that still keeps the screen glossy?

Glossy screens have more vibrant colors. And I want to get Screen Protector. Is there a cheap screen protector that keeps the glossy screen?

Doesn't matter too much if there is a big honking reflection covering half the screen and you have to alter the environment to look like a dark cave to see the screen.

By the way my new Mac's anti-glare screen is just about as vibrant as a glossy screen, without the reflections. 🙂

The cheapest screen protector is the one already included on the machine, just protect it by closing the case when not in use.


Any "film" you apply is going to interrupt the surface reflection of light rays that is presently giving you the reflections also the light rays emanating from the display itself. You will lose your vibrancy you cherish. Also dirt, fuzz, bugs etc get trapped behind it and also bubbles, peals at the edges due to the heat of the display.


Ideally anti-glare glass should be used, but I guess as long as Apple makes stuff in China the private intellectual property that is required to make it won't fall into Chinese state hands.
