This Clear Silicone Keyboard Cover Skin fits my MacBook Air keyboard perfectly. It stays flat and the LED lights of the keyboard shine through. It feels great to type on it and I like the frosted look which makes it looks discreet and blends in with the brushed aluminum. I can’t imagine typing without it because from years of experience typing on laptop keyboards, they get dirty so fast and dust will always creep in. Plus, the oils of the fingertips will eventually make the keys shinier and with black keys, it will be very noticeable.
This is a generic product that comes sealed in a clear plastic sheet bag. There is no branding (words, description, graphics) on the outside package. It was a toss up between getting this generic brand or the one from Elago. But for $10 vs. $14 (both including shipping), it was the lowest price and I’m very satisfied with the quality.
Definitely get this skin to protect your keyboard!

This product — basically, a fitted silicone sheet — does the job of keeping dust and pet hair out of my keyboard. The molded surface fits my keyboard perfectly. I like the gauge and feel of the material. It is somewhat opaque, with a matte finish, but does not detract much from the backlit keyboard. I think it goes better with the aluminum Mac than a shinier material. It is washable and feels sturdy.

i’m very pleased with the cover, no more dust or cat hairs will fall between my keys, the clear silicone still lets you see the lighted keyboard. the texture feels a bit rubbery but you get used to the sensation. the color isn’t exactly clear, it’s more like a frosted clear. love it and wish i’d gotten one for my older macs.

I expected a more clear, transparent keyboard cover. its very frosty and doesn’t exactly fit the keys all that well. i thought they were going to fall deeper and surround the individual keys better? and when i type, i have to type extra hard to make sure i don’t make typos. also, the places where i type most, the cover sticks to the black keys so that it looks like oil residue when it’s really not… that’s annoying too. i can tell the quality is super cheap just by comparing it with my other friends who have bought the same thing from other places. oh well, that’s what i get for trying to go cheapo on my first mac. =(

Well, it fits OKAY…takes a while and several washings in cold water to get it to mold around the keys. The letters are barely visible through this skin (I don’t have the lighted keyboard). The somewhat thick silicone traps heat inside the Mac and when I decided to take the skin off to type without it after a few weeks, it left a gooey smeary residue on the keys….had to use rubbing alcohol to take it off! (Not good) I am going ‘skinless’ now….this is a cheap product, both in price and in quality. Better to spend $20 on the Moshi with your $1500 MacBook than to skimp on this one.
