Hey everyone—
So I really like the new Smart Keyboard Folio, except for the fact that it very easily picks up fingerprints and grime, and sometimes it’s hard to clean off unless I use a damp towel and clean it off and then dry it really well. This is a pain point that carried over from the old Smart Keyboard because the material is exactly the same. The fingerprints and the fact that I’m afraid to put it down everywhere because it gets gross so easily was really messing up my enjoyment of the device.
I was surprised to see this product on the web and decided to give it a shot:

I just installed it on my folio and took some pictures for you all to see. I’m quite happy with this product! The installation is super easy because if you’re careful, you can pull it back off and re-align. The underside adhesive is apparently in a ridged pattern (like a ruffled potato chip) so you don’t even need to worry about bubbles—they just press right out, and it’s much easier than getting the air bubbles out from under a screen protector.
Just thought I’d share this with you all. The one I purchased was the matte finish gray, but now I kind of wish I got the blue. The decals are really thick and high quality, but don’t seem to add any perceived thickness once they’re on. They also seem to peel off really easily if needed, and the seller says they will not leave any sticky residue if you uninstall them. They do smell a little chemical-y when you first take them out of the bag, but it’s already going away after about 15 minutes.
