Perfect fit and perfect functionality.
- Written by Elizabeth S from Tallahassee
- Jul 1, 2009
I disagree with the other reviewer. Mine fits my 13 inch Mac like a glove--it does not slide around and it cannot compare to Saran Wrap. There are four dogs and one cat in my household. Despite constant vacuuming, my house still gathers furballs and dirt dust dragged in from the dog pen. This keyboard protector does as it should. It keeps out the pet hair and the dust--a good thing when you consider the fact that the "guts" of the laptop are under the keyboard. Worth every penny. If you research other sites that sell this, you'll see that those who have purchased it feel just like me. …More

Pros and Cons for using Moshi with the MacBook Air
- Written by Chris A from Austin
- Mar 22, 2010
This cover came as advertised, and I liked using it until I noticed that it seemed to be slowing down my computer. I would recommend using it only when you want to be especially quiet or when you are likely to get your computer dirty. I no longer use it for everyday use.

Pros:
The keyboard cover fits the keyboard perfectly.
Typing is quieter with the cover on.
The cover keeps the keyboard clean - no more accumulation of dirt and oil.

Cons:
The keys feel slightly less responsive. You type slower until you get used to the cover.
The cover picks up oil from your fingers and deposits it on the screen.
The cover causes the computer to get very hot and slow down. Networking in particular is much slower when the cover has been on for a while. It also seems to slow down the processor. …More

GREAT product
- Written by Julie C from NORTH BEND
- Aug 25, 2009
I took a chance on it, and I love it. This thin protector fits perfectly, no sliding around on the keyboard at all. Easy to type through - I don't hardly feel it there. I often go from computer to cooking, and now I don't worry about wet/greasy fingers! Definitely worth it to protect my valuable investment. …More

Best Keyboard Cover

I've had mine for months now and I love it. It doesn't hinder my typing as other keyboard covers do. I love that it's clear so I can see my back-lit keys. I ruined a previous Macbook by spilling water on the keyboard. This cover makes me feel at ease. …More

Answer

yes, it will fit any MacBook or the regular Apple Keyboard without the numeric keypad on the side....all of the keyboards are the same size...if you are questioning buying this product...I highly recommend it...especially if you ever eat around you computer...it will keep crumbs and other particles out of your keyboard that could potentially make it hard to type or use your keyboard. …More

does it fit the macbook air?
- Asked by Amanda G from Conshohocken
- Aug 2, 2010
1 Answer
Answer

Yes. Not exactly, but pretty well unless you are fussy.

Tested on the 11.3 MacBook Air.

It's a good fit, except for the top row of keys where where the key indents in the Moshi extend about one or two millimetres above (i.e. away from the user) the top keys - toward the screen, and the key indents in the bottom row extend about one or two millimetres below the bottom keys (toward the user).

In other words, the top row and bottom row of indents are slightly bigger than the keys they cover. Not vertically bigger, but a slightly larger size.

I didn't first notice the small extension of the indents to the top and bottom of the key board at first, until I looked closely.

Airbook lid closes just fine. …More
