Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of ProTouch Keyboard Protector, MacBook Pro 15/17" - Arctic Clear
Customer Review: Like it but not love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
The protector does its job at protecting the keys from contamination and possible liquid spills. However, like other reviewers noted, the protector makes the letters and numbers harder to read, but not impossible. Some of the other skins available have the letters on the cover itself for easier viewing. That would have been a good option for this protector as well to eliminate the problem with seeing the keys. I have a 17" mac book pro and this skin fits the shape and size of all the keys better then a previous skin I had. I read the review that warned that this item does not fit the new 17" models. My computer is new and the skin fits it very good. (perhaps we are talking about a different model) It feels good to the touch and if you have the "light" up key option, it does show up good through the protector. I have considered returning it but probably will not as I type without looking at the keys.Customer Review: Some issues, but something you NEED to have regardless of brand
Summary: 4 Stars
Exactly one year ago I had a little accident with a spilled beverage and my then Powerbook G4 Titanium (and it cost me about $1300 to rewire the entire laptop after the hard drive crashed from the spill). Let's just say I bought this ProTouch keyboard protector for the Macbook Pro solely out of past experience. Like some reviewers have mentioned, the protector itself moves about and doesn't exactly suction to the edges of the keyboard, but overall it allows an almost similar typing experience sans the cover and the fact it's washable is pretty great (even though I've done so and it's almost impossible to dry it all without visible droplets...I recommend you only wash the top side and avoid getting water underneath). Overall, if you want to protect such a costly expense I highly recommend purchasing ANY keyboard cover. Trust me, I know...boy, do I know!Customer Review: ProTouch Cover
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the ProTouch Keyboard Cover. For the money, it was a good investment. There are several covers out there that may be better, but this was a cost effective option until I can find a better cover. As others have stated, it takes a little getting used to as far as typing with the cover goes, but I'm sure that any cover will have this. It sits pretty well on the keyboard without moving. I live with four Australian Shepherds, and did not realize the amount of dust and hair that lands on the keyboard until I got this cover for my new MacBook Pro. Makes me wonder what is in the keyboard of my old iBook.
The only thing that is missing from this cover is something that protects the palm rests. I will be looking for this in the next cover that I get.
Customer Review: Great product.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hesitant to buy this for my new MacBook Pro, but I'm glad I did. I took a little getting used to, but it fits very well over the keys with minimal typing interference. It's not completely transparent so it does cloud the key symbols a little bit, but not enough to make them unreadable in normal light or when the backlighting is on. I don't have any problems with it sticking to the screen (I have the regular, not glossy screen) when the cover is closed. This is cheap insurance for your computer. Liquid spills into the keyboard of a laptop computer are a disaster. The repair will be very expensive and will not be covered under warranty.Customer Review: Pro Touch Protection
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. Definitely does not feel like it's close to $30.00 product quality. It is a very simple and painless install. After the first installation is it apparent how much protection this little silicone thing offers...a lot! The only problem I have with it is that it does touch the screen after putting it on the keyboard. If your Pro touch is doing its job(collecting dust, crumbs, and oil from your fingers) residue from what it collects will get onto the display. My recommendation? Buy it and take it off before you close the lid.
