Allergic to aluminum

[drdom]

Greetings to everyone.

I've recently switched and finally got myself a MacBook unibody 2.4ghz. It looks so elegant in all it's aluminum glory.

A few days ago though I noticed that both my palms (just the area that rests on the MacBook) were fissured and the skin started to flake off. I'm a physician by profession and could tell that this is a form of allergic contact dermatitis. I thought long and hard and figured the only new thing my palms have been resting on lately is my MacBook.

Anyone else had this problem with their MacBook?

I wanted to keep my Mac bare and keep it free from any sort of protection that would ruin the all aluminum look but I guess I'm the one who needs protection from my Mac.

Any suggestions of what could put on the part where the palms rest? I'd really prefer something close to invisible.

Thanks

I love that pacman sticker eating the apple.

my suggestion, buy a wireless keyboard and mighty mouse

just buy a palm rest. there's a leather cushion magnetic type in PMC, you can easily attach and detach it when not in use..

I guess this is a job for G-Mask (transparent)...

no offense, but some suggestions are terrible. The plastic shield doesn't even protect the palmrest area

try this, available at Powermac

wouldn't it be weird if you're using a laptop then use separate keyboard? unless you're pairing it with a separate monitor, then that's an acceptable set-up. The keyboard of unibody is plastic, he just need something that will prevent his skin from constant contact from the aluminum palm rest, not the keyboard itself.

Moshi PalmGuard is the only way to go.. at least it will still look like aluminum..
