I recently purchased a PowerMac G5 and wanted to keep the rather posh looking Mac keyboard from getting dusty, dirty or filled with the occasional cookie crumb.

The Protouch XT is fairly overpriced but it does what it's supposed to. Of course, dust will stick to the keyboard but it's *supposed* to prevent dirt and so on from getting into the keyboard. It takes some getting used to: while the cover will suppress the usual keyboard noise (which is minimal to begin with), you'll have to get used to typing with a keyboard cover over your keys. It seems more apparent with the numpad keys.

The cover does not get in the way of the USB ports on the rear of the keyboard. It simply covers the top as described.

This has so far kept my keyboard dust free. I wash it on occasion with standard dishwashing soap and water.

I purchased this for my iMac & I lasted about 3 days w/ it. I couldn't get used to it. It would make my delete key stick & I my space bar would not respond. The plastic from it would get 'stuck' & would cause it to not make a space.

It got annoying for someone who can touch type very quickly.

Needless to say, it is going back to the store...

If you want a cheaper alternative use Saran Wrap. Why spend so much money just because it has an apple label on it?. My keyboard is nice and clean. When the saran wrap gets dirty just wrap it around again. May I add it's much more snug on the keyboard too!

Despite its being obviously overpriced in relation to its manufacturing cost (at most a nickel's worth of plastic) I seriously considered buying one of these--until I compared it with the cost of buying a whole new keyboard. With an educational discount you can get a spare or replacement keyboard for $26 ($29 non-educational). That's way better protection than just putting a condom over the keys. And at that rate this product is not only not worth it--it's a ripoff.

I think the iSkin is great. I live in a household that is very dusty, plus I have two basset hounds that shed like crazy, so the iSkin has saved my keyboard from getting dirty beyond repair. I didn't have any problems getting used to it. I wash it with dish soap and water every once in a while and hang it to dry.

Keeps corn muffin crumbs, hair, nail clippings, booger balls, coffee, juice and any other things that can get inside and under the buttons of your keyboard out. It's a really snug fit though, by really snug meaning, you have to kinda of stretch it ever so slightly to fit just right.. This cause one of the keys next to my space bar to get stuck sometimes and i have to remove the skin and replace. But it does keep the keys nice and white, just remember to wash with soap and water once in a while...

I have several Macs at home and work, and I won't use any of them without the correct iSkin keyboard protector. I like the softer feel it gives the keys. I like being able to clean them with a little liquid soap and water and the keyboard remains nice and white. Just make sure you buy the one that fits your keyboard style.

Since I don't type on top of the keys, the iSkin bunches up into the side of the keyboard causing the keys to stick down, so I use it only to cover the keys when not using the computer. Although you can't feel them, air pockets can't be removed from under many of the keys.

Great tight fit keeps dust and other particles off your keyboard
