Which keyboard cover ?????

this may be a stupid question but, which keyboard cover goes with the Mac Book Pro? I want to order one, but I want to make sure that I get the correct one.
we have 3 Great Danes, 2 cats and a bunny and there is 'always' hair landing on my laptop that I blow it away. We have an in house vacuum system and I'm going to get the computer cleaner (it's for other things too but the 'computer' part caught me.
Any help is appreciated!!

Don't make the mistake of going in for the Capdase silicone rubbery covers(or any other silicone cover). They sure do protect your keyboard but they also attract a lot of hair and its difficult to keep it clean.

  • 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.

  • Should I not be using a keyboard cover?

    I got a keyboard cover yesterday and I love it already, but I've heard quite a few people say that it can, and for them, has, damaged the screen. I'm just starting college so I'm not exactly made of money, and I'd hate to ruin my screen because of something I was uneducated about. Should I keep it on? Thanks.

    It is only good in theory....
    Will it block spills and dirt? Yes.
    Why is it BAD? The oil from your fingers etc. transfer to the screen when you close it.
    It keeps in heat, prevents (heat rises, the cover keeps it from escaping) the Mac from venting itself,….Macs vent from the FAN (convection).
    from the conduction transfer of the metal chasis, ....and thru upwards heat radiation (thru the top platform/keyboard).
    If youre worried about damage not covered by Apple warr.  (such as spills, theft , drops etc) you can buy personal insurance for same which is very cheap per year.

  • 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!

    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:
    [http://www.iskin.com/productkbrdair.html]
    (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?).

  • Will a US layout keyboard cover fit on a Japanese Macbook Air 11"?

  • Keyboard Cover

    I want to buy a keyboard cover for my macbook pro A1398. I noticed that there is a difference in my keyboard compared the standard keyboards. It is a english and arabic keyboard and the enter button is in upside down L shape. Where can I find a suitable keyboard cover?
    Thanks in advance

    I have been using a Dell 2405FPW 24" LCD since early Sept 2005. It is a wonderful monitor, whites are truly white, grays are gray, etc. Color acccuracy is as good as I could hope for. No bad pixels. It adjusts for height and tilt and has many more outputs than does the ACD. I only wish the Dell looked more like the Apple, but it only cost $899, so I really can't complain.
    I originally wanted to get the 23" ACD, but with the many color problems they have had, and which I have observed myself where it has been displayed, I couldn't take the chance.
    But if you get one, be aware that your PB will run warmer. Mine runs between 130 F and 140 F with the PB lid closed. However, the PB is not hot to the touch. The increased heat is because of the work the computer must do to display all those pixels. A local Apple dealer confirmed to me that the PB would also run warmer if I was using the 23" ACD.

  • What keyboard cover should i buy for my MacBook Pro 13in Aluminum Unibody?

    I am struggling to find the right keyboard cover for my mac. This is my first mac, therefor i am not experienced in purchasing such accessories. If you could, please give me your opinions, and i would appreciate you giving me the "pro's" and "con's" of each product. Thank you!

    moshi clearguard is the best, i found it out @ the mac store

  • 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.

  • Why does the keyboard cover text fields ios 8

    Why does the keyboard cover text fields in safari in ios 8 in safari?  I've never had this problem before, but now when a text field is near the bottom of the page, I can't move it above the keyboard.  If there any fix? This is extremely annoying and renders filling in text on many web pages impossible.

    This solved it for me. I only needed to split it once before it was fixed (but shouldn't have had to do it at all). Thanks, chuck9999, you're my hero!

    Re: Why does the keyboard cover text fields ios 8in response to TeraBI had the exact same problem on my iPad Air and it's working fine now. Try toggling your keyboard a few times between split and regular using the keyboard key in the lower right corner.  I also then docked the keyboard a few times.  The turned-off/rebooted the iPad and it's worked fine ever since.  I stumbled upon the fix reading another post, and it did work although not sure why.  My guess is toggling the keyboard and rebooting updated something in the "registry".

  • Hello! Question about Macbook Pro keyboard cover.

    Hello! I have recently bought a Mac Book Pro is Retina display ( 13 in) and I am looking to protect it as much as possible. I bought a case. I saw the keyboard covers and though they were a good idea. I was almost about to purchase one until i read a comment with someone stating that the keyboard covers were not good for the laptops. That they make them overheat or something to that effect. Is this true? I am simply looking for some knowledgeable advice since i don't know too much and the technical side. Thank you for your time!

    Cases placed around Mac laptops run a risk of causing the computer to overheat.  There are smal openings for the fans to pull air in and push it out, providing cooling.  The Aluminum case is a heat sink providing a major way to remove heat.  Any covering of he Aluminum body inhibits he heat removal process.  The more enclosure you add, case and keyboard cover, the more difficult it becomes to get rid of he heat he computer produces.
    Be cautious about adding too much in the way of enclosure.

  • 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.

  • 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.
