MacBook screen protectors may damage display, experts warn

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Screen protectors are generally not recommended for MacBooks due to potential harm to the display and its anti-reflective coating. Adhesives can damage the coating when removed, and thicker protectors may prevent the laptop from closing properly, potentially damaging the screen. While some magnetic privacy filters, like Kensington's UltraThin, are considered safer alternatives, other accessories like hardshell cases, keyboard covers, and webcam covers can also pose risks by interfering with the laptop's hinge, cooling, or screen-to-keyboard tolerance.
