Great price for a useful item. I read about all the issues people had with the keyboard heating up because of the silicone trapping the heat, but I found this to be a relatively minor issue as I keep the skin on only when I am eating near my Macbook or when there is some other threat around exposing my computer to more dust particles than normal, such as my cat who sheds. It is a perfect fit, and it is not completely transparent, but you can still see the keys. The silicone is very soft, and I actually like the way it feels to type more with the skin on. It molds each key perfectly, and mutes out the sound of the keys. All in all it was a great shopping experience! Also, Mactop refunded me some of my money when the price went down after I bought it. If you want to protect your Macbook, this is a great accessory to have at a decent price.

Very nice product although it's not suitable for the new white macbook keyboard. It doesn't fit over the "enter" key

Fits well: The skin fit well on my white 13" Macbook and definitely would have kept out any spills or crumbs.

Warps easily: The skin warps easily from the heat of your hands (especially the part where my palm rests on) and gets all stretched out.

Slips out of place: I tend to rest my wrists on both sides of the track pad, but if I let my wrists slide toward me even a little, the entire skin slips out of place. It gets pretty annoying having to constantly readjust the skin every time I rest my wrists on it.

Attracts dust: The skin seems to attract dust very easily. The dust mostly accumulates on the side that does not face the keyboard, so it doesn't actually get int the keys, but it just makes it look so dirty. I had to wash the skin once every week or so (with soap and water).

Changes color: I've had the skin for about 6 months and the skin has turned an unattractive shade of yellow.

I decided to throw the skin out and purchase the more pricey Moshi clearguard keyboard protector and the Moshi palmguard (in white). It cost about 4x as much for the clearguard + palmguard, but it's definitely more worth it than this one.

Gave it 4 stars only because it does not fit completely when using a clear (speck product) shell to protect outside of your macbook. Love the fact that it covers the track pad click button as well as handrest area - not just the keyboard. When using it with a shell, the bottom corners do not wrap completely around it and poke up a little. not a major problem though. Typing is a little bit different but did not take too long to acclimate to.

The Rasfox Keyboard Skin for 13-inch Apple MacBook Laptop does a good job of protecting the keyboard from liquids or other hazards, and keeps essential skin oils from building up on the wrist rest areas. However, as with most keyboard covers, it does make the keyboard feel spongy, which is a shame considering the excellent quality of the MacBook keyboard. Still, it's a decent product.

I love the keyboard skin. I just bought an apple macbook a few months ago, and I was concerned with it being white. I looked around and got really lucky with this product. It fits my keyboard perfectly, I know there are some that have writting on them, but this is clear. It covers all the keys and where your a hands rest too. It keeps my macbook looking new, and protects it from any unwanted spills. I'm also in school, so eating and drinking while I'm studying is a must. No prob here, highly recommend this product.

- it didn't really fit to my keyboard and mousepad.
- however, it's still can be used
- i had been using it for more than a year.

I bought this because I spent several weeks in Ghana in an area where I was collecting a lot of research outside while being exposed to dust, dirt, bugs, etc. It was SUCH a great purchase. It completely covered the keypad keeping it in perfect condition. My only complaint was that it made it slightly more difficult to type as quickly as I normally would, but that is a small price to pay to keep keyboard free of dust and dirt.

The cover fits the exterior edges of the macbook nicely, but is not a good fit for the keys or trackpad. The cover sticks up over the keys to the point that I can't see the letters. It also doesn't fit around the trackpad enter key. It does mute the sound of the keys, which is nice, but because it doesn't line up properly there are a lot of typing errors.

I would honestly return it but it was cheap enough that it isn't worth it.

I got this for my boyfriend's macbook about a year ago. He used it for several months and was constantly annoyed by it. He said it got dirty easily, was hard to type with, and he constantly had to readjust it. Eventually he decided it was harder to keep clean and nice than the computer itself and not really worth the hassle so he threw it away. It looks nice and everything at first, but i think overall it's pretty useless.
