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

- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320847549985

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)

  • 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

  • Keyboard Cover for the MBP

    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!
    kevin
    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?).

  • 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??

    What did Logitech say when you contacted them?

  • 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.
    http://webshop.pro-tect.eu/site/EN/shop_product/9?
         However, if you do find one that only covers the keyboard, be sure to mention it as that would infinitely be better. 
         Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Non-gummy Macbook Pro keyboard cover (online retailer)?

    hi all,
    as anyone who has ever spilt a beverage over a Macbook's keyboard can attest to, the Macbook is a sensitive beast when it comes to liquid.
    I've been meaning to buy a keyboard cover for my Macbook Pro (2.2 Ghz Quadcore model, 2011) for ages. But I know that some keyboard covers are a lot better than others in terms of texture.
    Can anyone recommend an online retailer of such covers? I'm after the non-gummy type. The kind that is made of a transparent plasticy material that doesn't stick to your fingers or rub off onto the screen when the lid is closed.
    In the past, I've had one of the crappy gummy styles, and they're horrible to type on (like I said, they get stuck to your fingers). Whereas my mum had a much nicer, more neautral-feeling cover for her own macbook. it didn't look or feel like there really was one on it (which is what you want, or so I think).
    So if anyone has a keyboard cover on their Macbook (Pro), and it fits the above non-gummy description, can they please let me know where they got it?
    many thanks : )
    Sam
    PS does the current Macbook Pro use an identical keyboard layout? will a cover that fits it, fit my 2011 machine?

    GeertN:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The keyboard and top case of the MacBook Pro are a single piece. If you can purchase one you can replace it yourself following directions at iFixit. If you are interested in doing this yourself please post back for additional tips.

  • Keyboard cover compatible between old MacBook & new MacBook Pro?

    Hello all,
    I have a silicone keyboard cover for my first generation white MacBook. Will it fit the new chicklet style keys on the new MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!
    Steven

    I second that. Just tried my friend's iSkin keyboard cover for the previous generation MacBook and it fit perfectly on my new MacBook Pro.
    Actually, I just went over to iSkin's website and they also say that their MacBook skins fit the new MacBook and MacBook Pro.

  • Where i can buy a silicon keyboard protector for hp omen

    I have looked in all the usual places (amazon, eBay) and it does not appear anyone is making this product. Sounds like a Shark Tank business idea. 

  • 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.

  • Portege R700 - Keyboard Cover

    Do Toshiba or anyone else for that matter make a keyboard cover for the R700 series?
    i want to preserve my laptop in as new condition, so wearing the buttons is something i'd like to avoid with one of those translucent rubberised covers i've seen for other laptops
    cheers
    Ben

    Hi 1994F7PT,
    As far as I know Toshiba doesnt offer such keyboard covers. I have done a Google search for keyboard covers on Portege R700 and I found some offers but for US keyboard. Maybe you can find some keyboard covers for R700 and EU keyboard. Have also a look on eBay, there you can also get many notebook parts.
    If you have found something you can post it here. Im sure its interesting for other P700 owners! :)

  • U330 Keyboard Cover

    Hi, first post.
    No major problems to report yet with my U330.
    I am looking to find a keyboard cover for the U330. A UK/EU style keyboard. I ordered one but found it to be a US syle. (It's all abouth the 'Enter' key shape). 
    I've found plenty of US styled ones but no UK.
    Can anyone help ? 

    yes of course!

    He is also the guy I bought it from. It comes from Hong Kong so it take about a week. But its a perfect fit and I like it a lot, also I think you can find the product from him for a little bit cheaper, I got mine for 17.99 S&H included.
    But I would definitely recommend it! No more washing my hands before using the macbook for me!
