i just got one for my 2013 11" and it's not fitting that great. it moves when i type and doesn't fit well at all. is this something that takes time to seat or are others having similar experience?

the one they sent me does say Oct 2010 release - have they changed the physical keyboard in the air since then?
 
I dont have one, but I have used it before. It did move as I typed, so I didn't end up buying it. It may set as you use it, but I doubt it will adjust much. Maybe apply a little adhesive at the corners to help it "stick" in place?
 
Why should it move? Don't every ridge fit in their respective keys exactly? if not then perhaps the 2013 keyboard is just different enough from the 2010.

I have a cheapy cover but it's specific down to my Axxx model number, fits perfectly.

UK, Australian keyboards are different BTW.

It could be that the structure of the physical keyboard has slightly changed, and even a slight change would be enough to make an otherwise perfect-fit keyboard move around.

How much did you purchase it for? There's a great UPPERCASE TPU cover on Amazon for ~$12.
 
Mine definitely started to fit better with time.

After about two weeks it stopped being "floppy" on the corners.
