Does anybody have a Keyboard cover for the MBP?
i'm looking to invest in one, just need suggestion on which and where to get one!

btw: its a 15" mbp

Whether you're talking about the old MacBook Pro (with "PowerBook" style keyboard) or the new unibody Late 2008 MacBook Pro (with chiclet, MacBook Air style keyboard), the BEST one I think, because I searched far and wide and tried them "all" out, is from iSkin.
It's not sticky (like ZCover's) and it's not el cheapo like some other ones I've seen that advertise as not being sticky (it literally, the silicone cover, sticks to your fingers while typing), but look like crud.
I am typing with one right now. It is fantastic. I bought the "painted on" ones. It was the Arctic Pro Touch FX model.
Here it is:

(If you have the older MacBook Pro, just go to the right section on their website. You can also choose which ever color you like, of course. I just liked how the keyboard cover I got looks like there is NO keyboard cover at all!).
P.S. KBCovers also sells a similar cover and they are not sticky either. I just didn't find out about them until after I bought my iSkin one. (Was at Macworld last week, why I was able to "test drive" all the models before settling on one). Also, PowerSupport is coming out with one--according to the dealers there--but it's not out yet. Their demo is also not the sticky kind. (Too much info?).

  • Keyboard Cover for the Envy 17-j053ea (EU)

    Hello all, I'm in search of a keyboard cover for the laptop model in the subject. Keyboard covers for this model of laptop exist but they are often the US layout (for instance, the return key is a rectangle as opposed to a 7 shape as it is on an EU layout). Whilst this doesn't run under hardware problems, it would however run under protecting the hardware.
    Is anyone able to find a keyboard cover for me as I cannot seem to find any anywhere?!
    If only it was easier to clean laptop keyboards from tiny bits of dust and dog hairs.
    Thanks in advance.

    Helloo,
         I've also been searching for a cover for my HP Envy, and I have the 15" one, but it's still pretty similar because there's no covers with the EU return key [the one that's shaped like a 7]. So after alot of searching, I went on the second page of Google [!!!] and I found this link that provides customized clear keyboard covers!
         The catch? It covers the entire bottom portion of your laptop, including the touchpad. So for me the idea of a plasticky touchpad is kind of repelling, but I'm not sure what you would prefer, so I'll just leave the link here.

         However, if you do find one that only covers the keyboard, be sure to mention it as that would infinitely be better. 
         Good luck!

  • HT3050 where can I buy a battery compartment (screw in) cover for the 2007 apple wireless keyboard?

    I need to find a (screw in type) battery compartment cover for this 2007 apple wireless keyboard.
    The cover for the 2009 version does not work.  Even though it is similar--the three battery system requires a different cover.  Where can I possible get one of these parts?

    Contact Apple to see if they can obtain one (Apple store would be the best bet).

  • Keyboard cover for Late 2008 Unibody MB Pro?

    Hi, was just wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard cover for a Unibody Late 2008 MB Pro.  I recently purchased this Moshi ClearGuard keyboard cover but it didn't fit, despite a few people saying it did in the reviews.
    Thanks,
    Evan

    Most keyboard covers don't seem to fit well, as also trapping additional heat on the machine. I've been using these MBP's since 2006 and never had a need or desire for a keyboard cover. (never had a keyboard issue, of course I never run it thru the dishwasher,or use it in the shower, or use it for a stand to run my espresso machine)...
    the additional heat will do your machine no help.
    Being careful and using common sense is your best protection.
    Your call though

  • Should I get AppleCare for the MBP I am getting?

    Hi guys,
    I'm thinking about either getting a new MBP 13 or 15" for college and I'm just wondering if getting AppleCare is worth it. I know it's better to be safe then sorry, but my school gives white MBs to us and not once have I broken it. The laptop itself is already expensive enough as it is, so I'm just wondering if it would be a smart idea to save a few (hundred) bucks by not purchasing applecare.
    Thanks for your consideration!

    Like insurance, when you have it, you never need it. When you don't, then of course something happens. If this were a desktop, then I'd be more on the fence. But portable devices just are that much more susceptible to damage. So I always advise my clients to get the longer warranty with laptops that leave the house/office daily, versus a desktop where I don't make it an issue.
    I always get Applecare whenever possible as a matter of preference. Way back, with my Apple //c, I had 4 motherboard replacements to fix various issues. But I realized that just one of the repairs paid for the Applecare completely.
    Recently, my 2008 MBP had a keyboard problem. The MBP has nary a scratch despite my daily use and travel with the MBP. But I got in "under the wire" since my Applecare expires in March 2011. But without Applecare, I'd probably be out something in the range of $100-$150. While not as much as Applecare, just the idea of having Applecare meant I didn't worry about whether I could afford it and just called the Apple Store for an appointment. I got my MBP back the next day with very little muss and fuss.
    Being a student, Murphy's law will have your computer break just before the deadline for your paper. With Applecare you'd have a little better chance of getting your computer repaired in time instead of cursing for not being able to afford the repair. If you don't get Applecare, then I'd recommend dropping a dollar a day into a jar to make a rainy-day-fund. At the end of a year you'd have over $300, enough to cover one repair, or to purchase Applecare before your one year warranty runs out.

  • Should I use a keyboard cover with the new retina screen?

    Someone in an apple store told me I shouldn't use a silicone keyboard cover on the new 13" macbook pro w/ retina because apparently theres not enough space for it when the laptop is closed and its been causing faults? Anyone know anything about this?

    It also blocks the air intake.
    I use the original thin foam packaging that comes between the screen and KB from the factory to reduce debris gettting in and the monitor getting impressions.
    Since it's light and thin, lets air get in under it and into the machine throught the keyboard, deflects spills it's been great for the last few years.
    I use a external keyboard and scroll wheel mouse to take the wear and tear, I hate trackpads anyway.

  • Is there a  reason to purchase a protective cover for the back of the iPad2?

    I am buying an iPad 2 soon and want to purchase the Zaggmate case with keyboard. The back of the iPad woud be exposed even though the screen would be protected. Is it necessary to purchase a cover for the back of the iPad other than for "gripping" reasons?

    Purely personal preference, IMO.  In fact, any case is a matter of personal choice - I know many people who use their iPads naked as they don't like anything encumbering it.  Do what pleases and works for you.

  • Does using a keyboard cover block the fans?

    I am using an iSkin keyboard cover for my MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display purchased in 2012. I was wondering if using this keyboard cover hinders the fans' performance.

  • Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad2 doesnt display correct character when pressing Shift + number

    I have an Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad2. It will not type the correct character when pressing SHIFT + most of the number keys. (SHIFT + 1 and SHIFT + 4 display correctly with ! and $). The iPad was updated to iOS 8.1.2 yesterday, but that did not aleviate the problem.
    Suggestions??

  • Keyboard cover for Thinkpads

    Hi, I am interested in buying some keyboard cover, mostly to prevent dust from settling on my new Thinkpad L520's keyboard.
    Looking around, mostly on ebay, I have seen keyboard covers supposedly compatible with Thinkpads (featuring the trackpoint) but the images tell another story.
    Has anyone ever bought any such keyboard cover for their laptop? Is it worth it?
    Would greatly value your input
    I am currently watching the following keyboard covers

    Thank you for your response.
    Is there any particular keyboard cover that Lenovo endorses, i.e. has tested to fit properly with Thinkpads?
    As I said, I am worried a little bit about the trackpoint usability being affected.
    Some covers/skins seem to have a hole for the trackpoint, others have the plastic wrapped around the trackpoint.
    This is the case with some skins sold by Lenovo USA (not available fore newer models and outside the US)

  • Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for my iPad Air

    Hi all: 3 day ago I bought one Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for my iPad Air in black; but I don't like the combination with my white IPad Air and I lost the receipt. If somebody has a white one and want to interchange it please let me know. Thanks!

    The Air 2 is slightly thinner, bit is essentially the same size as the Air, so while it may be ever so slightly loose it should still work just fine.

  • Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

    There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
    Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
    Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
    What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
    - To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
    So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
    Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
    In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
    As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
    So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
    To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
    1) login to my administrator account
    2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
    3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
    4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
    5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
    Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
    Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
    This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
    Give it a go and see if it works for you.

    OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
    I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
    ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
    Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
    If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
    So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
    If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
    Just a theory.
    (oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)
