I recieved an iSkin Keyboard protector for my brand new PB 15inch... what a useless gift!

The iSkin is rubber and you put it over the PB keyboard to protect it from spills... I tried typing over this rubber, and it was nearly impossible...

What a useless gift... Anybody else find iskin useless?

We have the ones for our iPod's. I am grateful because the protection is good. Ruins the nice look, although they are far from ugly.

We also have the iSkin for our eMac's keyboard. It does slow typing down a bit, but my teenager, who is a very speedy typist, has become used to it. We lost a keyboard through spillage, so it's worth it and not useless in this context.

Notebook keyboards are a different animal, with a lot less movement. I suspect I would not like it on my PB.

It is what it is, I will say I find the iSkin keyboard protector useful in the sense that is saves the screen on my PB from being marked/scratched by the keyboard itself when closed during travel.

On a side note, what do you guys do to clean the books screen? I use monster cleaner and it does a good job, but it's alot of $$...

I use an anti-static cloth to get the dust off and if it's uber dirty, I use plain water (a damp cloth) since chemicals can ruin the anti-glare coating of an LCD screen.

Monster Cleaner is designed for screens (LCD, DLP, CRT...)
So it shouldn't hurt, right?

Codger

Just a damp cloth. Tried the Monster cleaner on my old TiBook and it wasn't any better than the damp cloth.

monster cleaner is pretty costly, but i've never seen a cleaner screen. shines my tv up nice too

So do you guys think the iskin will be annoying to use on a wireless keyboard. I've been thinking of getting one because the keyboard's design causes junk to get all in it.
