Best keyboard cover for Macbooks out there
(5 out of 5) by S.R. on Feb 6, 2009 (NY)Pros-
-VERY thin, I hardly notice that it's installed. Unlike those silicone covers.
-Keyboard lights up clearly, doesn't impede the light at all.
-Takes 2 minutes to get used to. It definitely doesn't feel like a bare keyboard but it doesn't feel like it's a covered keyboard either.
Cons-
-Kinda pricey for a very thin piece of industrial plastic. The price might be high due to the fact that its molded SPECIFICALLY for macbook keyboards. Because it's an EXACT fit.
-DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT fold or crush this cover. keep the original box if you need to store it away. Unlike silicon this product WILL WRINKLE. I decided to clean mine because it does feel sticky after long term use. I cleaned it with soap and water and i decided to WRING it out. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE. the product had wrinkles that would not disappear. I was too cheap to buy a new one so i have to live with annoying wrinkles.
Other than that..this is hands down the best keyboard cover for macs out there and not a lot of people know about it.

not my favorite
(2 out of 5) by Natalie Natalie on Aug 2, 2009 (los angeles)I've used a silicone keyboard cover for years and this plastic one, albeit thin and flexible, simply doesn't compare. (Plus, the material reminds me of those tacky plastic sofa covers.) It is more slick to the touch and often slips off the keys when I pick up the laptop verses the silicone cover that stayed put.
I'm returning this one and looking for a silicone keyboard cover.

Almost perfect
(4 out of 5) by Pratap on Mar 4, 2009 (Bangalore, India)I bought this for my 2.0GHz Unibody Mac. I have been using it for a week now. My thoughts:
> It is NOT a perfect fit. But close enough. Does not fit perfectly near the function keys. But where you'd hit the keys frequently - i.e the letters and the space bar, it fits well.
> Takes a while to get used to because if you push your finger over a key, chances are the CG will flip momentarily.
> Does not stick to the aluminum surface. Which is good and bad. Good because it doesn't leave any sticky residue and can be cleaned. Bad because it flips like mentioned earlier. Because it is so easy to flip, I am not sure how protective it can be against liquid spills.
> Have not noticed any heat issues so far.
> Muffles sound when you type, which is a good side effect.
> Is very clear. The silicone feels high quality. But I think it is over priced.
And yea, it does protect your key board from dust.

Great Keyboard Cover
(5 out of 5) by Z. Rogers on Sep 7, 2009 (South-East MI, USA)Keyboard looks bare unless in direct sunlight. Doesn't impede typing at all after the initial 'stickiness' wears off. Looks like it could blow away in the slightest of breezes, but has stayed on my keyboard for over six months. Wash with soap and water, let air dry and you're good to go. I've recommended it to many people, those who bought it agree that it's a good investment. Keeps your keyboard from getting shiny and could be the saving grace in the event of a spill.

Great product
(5 out of 5) by Lisa Mcclellan on Aug 27, 2009I am always weary about buying products so I always read reviews and with this product the reviews were mixed so I was skeptical. However, I really enjoy this cover. I would consider myself an average keyboard user and I really cannot notice a difference when the cover is on. In fact I would almost venture to say that the keyboard feels even more comfortable with the cover. It fits my MacBook Pro 13 inch perfectly!
