[UAUG] protect screen when closing MBP lid

[Caleb Call]

I know the original Macbooks had the same issue.  My wife's was  
showing signs of it and I found several other people online that were  
having the same issue.  I took it to the  Store and they replaced  
it without any hassle.  We bought her a keyboard protector and it's  
worked fine since.  The nice thing about the keyboard protectors  
(well, atleast some) is they double as a great screen cleaner for  
getting rid of all the dust that tends to gather on them.
