"Good" and "under $10" usually don't belong in the same sentence.
Good is this.
Under $10, well, I'll let someone else go there.
I have a 13" MacBook Air, too. I have a screen protector, a speck clear case (sent them a complaint yesterday or scratching my air) moshi palm guard and A KEYBOARD COVER. I have one that is 5.99. I bought one off ebay, the first one was black with the keys already imprinted but it was for the previous generation so I emailed the guy and he sent me a clear one instead. http://cgi.ebay.com/CLEAR-Silicone-...193?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b21ee309
This doesn't not leave any keyboard markings on my screen. I had the problem 1-2 times, but not very often. I try to press the lid while it is closed but still no markings on screen I would really recommend that one.

Keyboard covers make Air's run too hot.
I`ll poke some holes in it![]()
Does that smudge the screen like the poster above you mentioned?

I have been a big fan of the Moshi skins for many years on my Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Just like clyde2801 said, the Moshi's are thinner and more responsive then cheaper generic ones. What do I mean by responsiveness? Basically, its the ability of the skin to be able to "bounce" back quickly once you have pressed down and let go. For me, its really annoying to have that stuck key feeling when I am touch typing.
With my current 11" Air, I finally found a skin that IMO is better then Moshi's. The company is called Rearth. Given the 2 weeks that I have being using this thing, I give them high marks for the following:
- It is not too expensive. About $13
- Super thin. Even thinner then the Moshi
- Is engineered to be very responsive with the tops of their keys being angled
- Has small, gutter-like holes on the side for venting of heat
- Has both white and black outline colored skins that allow for the backlit keyboard lighting to show through

This says it is not for MBA made after Oct 2010. Don't they have the same keyboard?

ty for the link but it states it's for the macbook and theres no mention of the Air but there is for other models... can you provide me with an amazon link as I much prefer to do transactions through them, especially with the prime free 2 day shipping or $4 for next day
