This is my third color :] and eventhough I love my Pink one and my Orange one... this is my favorite. Mainly because my favorite color is green but also because on the caps lock button instead of it being filled in white it's actually a clear dot so you can see when you caps lock is on instead of having to guess with the other covers.
And it arrived early :].
BUY ONE :]! You won't regret it. TopCase GREEN Keyboard Silicone Cover Skin for Macbook 13" Unibody / Macbook Pro 13" 15" 17" with TOPCASE® Logo Mouse Pad
the cover looks very cool with a backlit keyboard. the only thing we did not think of was that our machines are european keyboards so the keys are placed slightly differently. we had to cut out part of the silicone to make it fit so make sure you have american keyboard style if you purchase.
I ordered the keyboard cover to protect my MacBook's keyboard and, as one might surmise, because it it fun looking. I also ordered the green snap case at the same time, but the snap case came first. The silicone cover skin fits almost perfectly, and works just as it should. It is a bit darker than it looks in the illustration. It sounds different when I type (my son commented on the sound when he couldn't see my keyboard--"What is that?"), but I'm used to it now. I don't type fast enough to feel impeded in any way, although my son might because he can type more than 100 wpm. I just wanted to keep out a little dust, a few crumbs, and protect against liquid spills. And, according to my grandkids, it's kind of cool
I didn't think I was going to like it, and the way the company shipped it, I was disappointed. But, when I took it out of the envelope and put it on my MacBook Pro, I fell in love with it! It fits perfectly, protects my keys from dirt & dust, and I can still see the lit keyboard through it! The minor flaw it has is that the letters/numbers/symbols are not perfectly aligned. - just a minor insignificance!
This is my first Macbook keyboard cover, and although initially expecting something somewhat shoddy because of a few complaints in other reviews, I was surprised to discover how good-looking and functional this cover is.
The cover came folded in half, which I wasn't too pleased about, but after unfolding it and using it for a day or so, the cover fits my keyboard perfectly. The edges of the cover have not started to fold in on themselves (causing the cover to let debris under itself), and the cover holds firm to the keyboard when I type and slide my fingers across it. If you really need to use the keyboard backlight or see the Caps Lock light, this cover will allow you to do so, although because the light is diffracting through the silicone, the backlit keys will appear muddier than backlit keys without the keyboard cover (referring to the sharpness of each backlit key). I don't consider this an issue, though. I hardly use the backlight anyway.
Another annoyance is that any kind of lint, dust, or fabric will stick right to the keyboard cover and is a hassle to get off. Obviously, this means that they cover is doing its job, but debris sticks to the cover almost too well.
Nonetheless, this cover is definitely a good deal for the low price. It protects the keyboard like it should, and it fits. They cover will press against the Macbook screen if pressure is applied when the lid is closed, but this has caused no damage (not even cosmetic) whatsoever to my laptop.
Several people have even asked me how I customized my keyboard and were surprised to learn that my green keys were because of a keyboard cover.
I'd recommend this (or a similar color, same design) to other Mac owners looking for a keyboard cover.
Overtime keyboards tend to become grimy and sticky if you like to eat food around your laptop, even if you don't eat food, the sweat from your fingers will cause the keys to become sticky. Also, dust and other particles will get in between the keys eventually building up and causing problems. Typing on this was a pain in the ass at first...you get used to it and actually on days when you take it off you end typing much faster than usual, the case for me anyway. I think this is good protection from spills also. the fit is not perfect but for $5 you can't go wrong with this+the colors look cool. **edit- the cover comes in contact with the screen subsequently leaving imprints.
The item does keep out dust and dirt but it DOESN'T fit the keyboard to the tee. It is off and when you type it's different. Not sure if there are any other product like this that fits perfectly but you get what you pay for too. With that being said I would recommend cause it DOES keep out dust and dirt, which was important to me.
I'm really picky when it comes to purchasing anything online since I can't see or touch it for myself. This keyboard cover is perfect for the MacBookPro because of the fitting. The only complaint I had is that in the photo it LOOKS lime green - which is what I wanted. When the product came in - it's a clover green, not the bright neon color I was looking for. I decided to keep it since I was too lazy to return it & repurchase another one from a different company. - Macbook Pro - Dust Covers - Keyboard Protector - Keyboard Skin'
