A Great Choice!!! [Posted on 2008-02-22]
I bought this for my brand-new MacBook (White). I looked at a lot of other brands, but this one seemed to be the thinnest and least intrusive one that I could find, and the price wasn't bad either. I found that some of the edges didn't stay down very well at first, but I think that this is just due to the fact that it is folded up a bit in the box. Now that I have had it a while, it sits nicely on the keyboard and doesn't interfere at all with the MacBook closing tightly because it is so thin. This fits perfectly around the keys too! The bottom side of the skin is slightly "stickier" than the top, so it holds to the surface well, but doesn't leave any residue on the keyboard itself. It did feel strange at first to type with the skin over the keys, though I am a fast typer and this makes the keystrokes a bit slower and softer at first. It's a little less responsive than normal keys. However, I got used to it quite quickly, and now I really kind of like the fact that it dampens the sound of the keys and is softer on my fingers. The fact that it protects the keyboard from scratches and dust, though is the best part! I don't have very long fingernails, but I was finding myself scratching the keys with them as I typed - this solves that! I also don't have to worry about dirt and oils from hands, or dust. With a white MacBook, I was really worried about it getting dirty or stained from use. A quick rinse and pat dry will clean this cover well. Or, if you don't have time to wash it, I've found that rolling one of the sticky, tape-like lint rollers over both sides will remove any dust or particles that have accumulated. I haven't noticed any of the problems mentioned before with the computer running hotter than usual because of the cover. I do tend to use my Mac for long periods of time, and didn't notice much of a difference with the cover on or off. I also haven't notice any problems with discoloration yet, but I haven't had it for too long. Even if it does, I'd much rather have the cover discolor than the keyboard itself! All in all, a great purchase - I'm so glad I bought this right away so my Mac keys will always stay in (almost) factory-looking condition!

So far I've loved it! Keeps my make away from dust and dirt and it is easy to write with it on the keyboard, I didnt even have to get used to it.
This product is ok [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I still have some issues with the way it fits on the keys. It doesn't cover all the corners completely, but this does not get in the way of using the keys. So overall this product is ok.
worth buying [Posted on 2008-05-09]
i bought this product for my second macbook after having spilled lemonade on my first and ruining it. I also got a similar item that goes in the ports to protect them from spills, since that's where the majority of the lemonade went. I really like this protector, it doesn't get in the way of typing and honestly makes it more comfortable to type (my nails no longer scrape against the keys, which used to remind me of a chalk board). it also makes typing quieter.
Works Well, but my wrist hurt [Posted on 2008-06-21]
I got this product for my MacBook. It does what it is advertised to do, however I found that I had to hit the keys so much harder to type that my wrist started hurting. I ended up removing it from my computer.
