This product is OK. There are cheaper products out there that are just as good at 1/3 the price. The material on this product is thick and gives good protection, however, it is shipped folded in thirds and take some time to get a good fit. There are better values out there.

This review is from: PROTOUCH KEYBOARD PROTECTOR ACCSF/MACBOOK PRO WHITE (Accessory)

I've had one of these in the past and loved it. Unfortunately after years of use it got a little weakened and I accidentally ripped it. I'd been searching for another iSkin keyboard protector for ages, but since my MacBook Pro is not one of the new ones with the black keys, it had been very difficult.


Over the course of a year, I tried a few other brands. And, yes, while cheaper, they just weren't as good. I think that was more of a waste of money than spending the extra cash on this one. iSkin just makes a quality product, and most of the time, you have to actually, you know, PAY for it.

Anyway, this is definitely my favorite keyboard protector out there. I'm so glad I found it somewhere! I'm saddened that iSkin isn't still making them. I wish I'd purchased a few spares back when I got my Mac, just in case.

Like the other reviewer said, it comes folded and does take a little while to flatten out. However, it doesn't take very long to do so. Maybe 1-2 weeks. In any case, it wasn't a nuisance to me/didn't get in the way of typing.

And as with all keyboard protectors, it will transfer the grease from your fingers onto the screen if you leave it on when you close the lid (people always seem rather surprised to discover this). This can easily be solved by either cleaning the protector on a regular basis (I usually try to 1-2 times a month, depending on use) or by placing something over it before you close the lid like a folded paper towel, piece of paper, etc. Either way, it's a lot easier to clean your screen (with a soft, damp cloth when your computer is off) than to try and clean out all the bits that get under your keys. So it's a very small sacrifice to make, IMO.
