Keyboard skins anyone?

:C
I don't believe so.
I think you're the first person I've talked with that even used the Dvorak key layout.
LOL...

Funny ... at my school I know 5 other people that use it.

The cool thing about MacBook keyboards is that moving the keys around is really easy.
 
how about a great screen guard ?
or palm guard ?

thanks I am ordering this soon as I can find a good screen protector too.
 
I ordered a moshi clearguard from amazon, and they sent me a clear version of that GTmax skin. It reeks of chemicals, and is a cheap piece of crap. It has squared off corners, when the MBP has rounded off corners. It is a PIECE OF ****.
 
I was looking at getting one of these but I read through the reviews and they are saying this blocks the backlighting. This is a deal breaker for me as I use my MBP at night a lot and I really like the backlit keys.
 
Mine has the rounded corners and yes it does block the backlighting....but it does do the job it was intended for. I use it at work to keep my grubby hands off keys. My auto shop can be one hell of a dusty dirty place @ times.:D
 
They are great

I ordered one of these they are fantastic for the price. They help protect your keyboard and feel better than the actually keys. The only problem is the computer sometimes gets a little hot due to the fact that there is the backlight and I heard that the macbook pro(may have only been the macbook) has air vents in the keyboard. But who knows I love the thing.
 
Well, I never type with the backlight on anyways so that's not an issue.
As for ventilation, we'll have to see.
If my mbp starts getting too warm for my taste I just won't use the cover.
I mean, it was only 3 dollars. C:
 
I had a problem with silicon skins on another laptop. The silicone skin left permanent marks on the screen that I couldn't clean off. I had the screen replaced before I was able to sell the laptop.
 
This is a great price. I bought a silicone keyboard skin to prevent spills. I eat and drink while I work on my computer. I've been using mine for about about 3 weeks.

Pros and Cons.
Makes the keyboard a little bit sluggish. You're typing through a membrane, so the keys don't spring back as fast. Saves wear and tear on your keyboard. I can already see wear spots developing on the skin.

As others pointed out, it blocks backlighting. If you want backlighting then get the transparent version, the lighted keys will show through, it will look a bit smokey.

I've notice my laptop temperature has gone up 5-15 degrees according to SMC fan monitoring.
