Silicon keys, together with a cheapskate screen protector on my late 2013 15" rMBP. So far nothing wrong.![]()

The aluminum housing functions as a heatsink to help cool the machine. Having a case on it just nullifies that function.
I wouldn't put anything over the keys or palm rests. Why hide the beauty/design of the machine? It's like putting plastic over your couch.
The only thing I've added is a non-glare film to my screen because I don't like the reflection.

where did you get those keys?
Got rid of my cover after having to wipe the screen each day from the outline of the keys. Not worth it for me.
I clean my retina screen with a dab of clean water on a cloth. That's it.
Does it damage the retina screen?
The primary cooling is via the vents on the sides and back of the MBP. Any heat dissipation (which is in all directions) has minimal impact on cooling, compared to the fans and vents. Having a keyboard cover will have no meaningful impact on cooling.The aluminum housing functions as a heatsink to help cool the machine. Having a case on it just nullifies that function.

I have the same concern tooWhen you close the lid with the keyboard cover, will it damage the retina display? I know it does not have impact on cooling but my main concern is about retina display.

Which keyboard cover do you have? my main concern is if i do that my keyboards become oily and then the oil from it gets to the screen so is there any way to protect it? Instead of a screen protector which reduces the quality of your display and it being the main thing that you paid for is stupid. Can the oil from the keyboard cause damage to the screen?

which product do you use? is it worth it? Screen Protectors are pretty dam expensive and theres no guarantee of applying it right without bubbles or dust and does it reduce the quality?I wouldn't put anything over the keys or palm rests.

Can I use the kuzy keyboard protector without the screen protector or will it damage my screen? Is the screen protector a necessity? I have seen a rmbp with one and the glare sucks with the protector plus the quality of the screen also goes down so its pointless. could please post a few more pictures? And the case you are using, how is it and of which brand is it? Im thinking of purchasing the kuzy rubberized case or the ipearl mcover
Some covers may leave marks on the screen and some may not. I'm sure others who have used the same covers can tell you their experiences and you can go from that. I personally prefer not to put anything on my MBP, but I use an external keyboard most of the time, so the built-in keys don't see enough action to wear quickly.When you close the lid with the keyboard cover, will it damage the retina display?
