Review on Protect Your IMac Keyboard With ProElife Silicone Cover Skin - Full Size And Ultra-Thin, Wired USB MB110LL/B-A1243, Ideal For Apple Lovers (Black) by Jair Baltrusch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Something weird going on.

The jury is still out.First, the sizing looks correct.I was disappointed that the cover does not extend down the sides of the keyboard at all.So it's just laying there. Easy to bump or flip.Typing was easy, except it's got a mind of it's own. As I typed an e-mail, it went into a stuck "return" key and I couldn't stop it. I had to throw the cover off, then restart the message. Eventually, I had to exit the programs and restart the browser too.I have no idea what happened, some weird combination of keys?Luckily I was able to recover my mail from "drafts" and proceed.I may try taping the corners, otherwise it will go in the trash.It's not expensive, but I hoped to make the new keyboard better, not worse.UPDATE: I had to toss the cover off again as the keyboard went into continuous "return".I think what's happening is the overlay is a tiny bit too small (1 mm.?) from side to side and the right hand lower right corner is "return". This gets bumped and I can't stop it.I'm going to try some tape to keep it immobile, otherwise take it off when using the keyboard.UPDATE 2: Tape won't stick. I guess it has like a talc to keep it dry. I gave up.I'll look for a simple cover (bag) that I'll take off to use the keyboard.Good concept, bad execution.

Pros
  • The keyboard cover reinforces stability and precision, minimizing typing errors and improving typing speed
Cons
  • It may create a lot of static and be less comfortable to use
