Overall, I like the Moshi PalmGuard, but I think based on its not-so-cheap-for-a-piece-of-plastic status, it could use some work. Application was fairly easy, however I found that the strip above the trackpad when installing it from the bottom up (as they suggest) got a bit of a buckle in it. I was able to adjust it carefully and get it to adhere, but it did come up one more time an hour later. Once this is in place, I'd suggest really pushing hard all around to ensure proper adhesion. Much easier to install than a screen protector though, that's for sure.
The trackpad protector works well, and allows all finger gestures, but I'd like it to be a smoother texture. It's not quite as silky smooth as the uncovered surface, and takes a little getting used to. The other problem I noticed, and honestly just wasn't prepared for due to the nature of the palmrest cover, was the presence of air bubbles. So word to the wise: imagine the trackpad cover is a screen protector and really try carefully to avoid trapping air. I'll give this a little more time, but the trackpad cover may have to come off soon. I'd rather have paid less for the palmrest cover and not had the trackpad cover bundled with it.
UPDATE: Within hours of posting this, of course the band running along the top of the trackpad is now perpetually buckling up and not adhering properly. The surface was prepared before application to get rid of any grease or dust, but this thing is just not adhering properly in that area, especially when the battery is charging and the surface becomes warm. I have contacted Moshi's customer service, so hopefully they address this problem soon.
