Customer Reviews
Well though out, it does all it's suppose to!
I was hesitant about this keyboard cover--after reading some negative reviews online. But in owning my MacBook for only 6 weeks, some of the keys were already starting to become "glossy" and a little worn ( I am a writer). I also smoke and eat around my laptop--which were both always getting too close for my comfort to the keyboard (and hence the computer itself).
I was very pleased to find how much I like this cover. It fits well (despite some negative comments by others), which considering the keys on the MacBook are actually seperate, is a great feat. I found I adjusted to the new typing sensation quickly (I touch type 90WPM): it does slightly affect typing--it feels softer, and makes the keys much quieter. What has made me a believer and lover of this product is seeng all the crud that has formed on it in just a few days--this stuff will no longer be getting onto my keys and into my MacBook, and that is great!
<<>>UPDATE: Well, I went through two iSkin, both of them turning brown in certian spots--it looked as if a very heavy smoker had been typing away on my MacBook. It might just be an issue of my body chemistry and the silicon, but I did not care for the dirty brown haze over certain keys and areas--as much as I liked this product (and it does work well), back it went. My keyboard is now naked and exposed again...!
This thing is great
I kept having near-misses with my new Macbook so I bought this keyboard protector. I like the feel it gives the keys and I feel much more comfortable eating and drinking around my computer because it keeps out crumbs and although a large spill might be able to seep in around the edges, it would greatly increase the odds that you wouldn't have a problem by giving you more time to get your computer shut down and keeping out the vast majority of the spill. The clear one you can hardly see that there is a keyboard protector on there. I think a protector like this should be included with the computer.
Macbook runs hot.
I use it when there is a danger from spills, and it does the job. The only concern I have is that the macbook pulls air from around the keys on your keyboard to blow out the vent in the back to keep the processor cool. When I cover the keyboard, the macbook runs about 10 degrees Celsius hotter than without it. Take it off and it cools back down. The guy at the mac store said that it wouldn't hurt anything, but I'm not so sure. If you put a fan against a wall and it has no air to pull into itself it will burn up, and the way I see it, that is sort of what you are doing here.
Conclusion: It works, I just wouldn't keep it on the keyboard all of the time.
