I hate to keep plugging certain inet companies (I'm starting to sound like a salesman!!), but the leather FULL screen cover I got for a 15" PB has worked out great. It came from OWC.

Now, I wasn't sharp enough to get this as soon as I got the PB (as I was warned to do). It actually took me almost a year to order one! Generally, I try to keep my hands very clean while working on any machine, so oil transfer btw my fingertips and the keys/screen was minor.

The reason I mention this delay was because the cover came with a Kleer Screen cleaner (wet/dry) that did a nice job of cleaning the screen, the keys, and then the computer body. There is still one tiny screen smudge that probably could have been avoided had I gotten the cover earlier, but I still see this tiny sheath of leather as a great investment. No more worries about screen damage from dirt, oil, etc.

My $0.02. YMMV. I recommend getting the full cover, not the one that only covers the keys...

That image of the keys from the keyboard pressing up against the screen.
Everybody I know who's had a Powerbook has had it happen. (Unless they were
smart enough to stick something in there.)
