Reviews for Moshi ClearGuard Keyboard Protector for Aluminum MacBook and MacBook Pro

I just got this product a few days ago on my 15 inch rMBP. I was worried it wouldn't fit, but it fits great. Keeps the keyboard clean and protected. Also, it keeps the typing noise down from hitting the keys, which is great if that gets on your nerves like me. A great product, and was shipped very fast to me.

This is a great product which fits like a glove and is very thin to ensure a tactile response. Next time I upgrade my MacBook, I'll go straight to Moshi!!!

I have had this cover for over 6 years. I have to replace it because it has a small tear around the "N" key. However, it saved my computer from a couple of coffee spills in my days and I love it! Going to order another one. Great investment.

Bought this protector at the Apple Store, previously i bought a cheap silicone cover and i throw it away the same day, but moshi is a dream come true.

You get protection from dust, hair (i doubt you can protect a macbook keyboard from a cup of coffee but they say so) and fingerprints, the cloudy look goes away if you clean it SOFTLY and NEVER use SOAP, got 2 months with mine and i love it. Way too expensive but i had some cash to burn anyway...

Don't wait - get one of these bad boys today. It has saved TWO of my MBPs from soft drink spills. You hardly notice it's there until you're so thankful it is!

you decide to wash it. The keyboard protector was good for two says or so, but quickly starts to pick up dust and finger markings which show quite clearly because of the clear color. The protector also leaves keyboard impressions when you close your screen and when you try to wash it as directed on the package (light detergent and a wet cloth), there ends up being splotches on the product which also affects the backlighting of your keyboard. If you buy this product, you will probably have to replace it every week as cleaning is not an option. Definitely not worth the price and the product does not last.

In terms of protection, it is somewhat usefull. My only problem is that it is never clean on both sides. I wash it with water and soap every other day, but it always looks dirty. Not sure how I can dry it properly to remove those water spots.
The one for full size wired keyboad is what they need to make for macbook.
On the other hand, if you remove it, your mac in shinny but looks dirty
It is so sticky that it works like vacuume cleaner and grabs everything including even one hair.

Great for protecting keyboard from any spills or stains from dirty or greasy fingers. At first it's a little awkward to type using it, but you get use to it after a little while. Only downside is that it seems to be blocking the speaker, which isn't a major problem. It doesn't block a great amount of sound. I would prefer my keyboard being protected over the sound not coming through completely.

Works great, I hardly know it is there. Super thin and strong. I have had this on my macbook pro for a year now, it is still in perfect condition. I use it to help protect my laptop in my ceramics studio and it works great. I would and have recommended this cover to my friends.

First off, for those of you worried about this keyboard protector leaving some kind of imprint on the display (which is what I was most worried about) -- don't be worried! It's made out of a minimally sticky material that does not really attract dust or dirt, which therefore, keeps the dust and dirt from your display! It's a great product!

At first, it didn't seem to fit exactly right, but it took a day or two for it to settle in, I guess, because it now fits perfectly, doesn't slip off when I move the laptop around and works great! It doesn't stick to my fingers, but it does come up off the keyboard a tiny bit when I hit the delete button or the right arrow key, but I think that is because I tend to press the key and move my finger a little bit, pulling the cover up with my finger.

The texture of the cover is great! It is not sticky at all, just feels like textured plastic. It's a hard feeling to explain, but it is really nice.

Overall, I would rate this a perfect 5 stars! It does exactly what it's supposed to and, for me, actually makes me enjoy typing even more! For one, I know my keyboard is safe from spills or dirt of any kind AND I just like the softer feeling of the keys! Second, my keys will look good as new forever!

For the record, I have the Retina MacBook Pro and this cover still works great with that. Moshi did a wonderful job with this product! I haven't noticed any "overheating" issues, but will update my review if I do!
