UPPERCASE GhostCover Premium Ultra Thin Keyboard Protector for MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 13" and 15" (2016 2017 2018 2019, Apple Model Number A1706, A1707, A1989, A1990)

Ive been using this cover for several months on my 2017 TB MacBook Pro. The cover stays put without using the adhesive strips. The cover is extremely thin so it wont interfere with your typing. I bought this because I read in a popular forum that the cover will slightly reduce the keyboard clackety-clack noise (it doesnt). The cover does keep out dust, crumbs (if you eat over your keyboard) and small amounts of liquid (like a few drops of coffee or soda but dont expect protection from spills). But as the cover ages, the cover turns ugly white (like waxpaper) but when the keyboard is illuminated I can still see the keys perfectly. Im personally not bothered by the ugliness but I mention it because some people care very greatly about the appearance of their equipment. Assuming that the plastic doesnt crack over time, Id buy it again. Ugly and all. If I can find a cover for my 2013 MB Pro, Ill buy it.

Absolutely thin and nearly fell into place when installing. So far, dont even need to use any of the sticker accessories to keep it in place, its staying put on its own! The material does help reduce the click of the keyboard significantly. I was incredibly surprised by how loud the new mac keyboard was, and almost embarrassed when I took the mac into a lecture one evening to take notes. The cover helps reduce the click SIGNIFICANTLY. However, the new mac keyboards are not forgiving with tactility, and the thin cover will impact the feeling of typing, as well. A trade-off, but this is more to do with Apple than the design of this cover. The unit was well packaged with a hard plastic backplate to maintain the shape of the keyboard cover film and included removable adhesive stickers that you could cut to size and apply around the keys. I will say, they did a premium job of packaging this and even included a small card explaining why the touch panel is not covered - which completely makes sense (would interfere with function, touch panel would blur and it is already scratch resistant.) They also include a coupon for $10 off their form-fitting leather case, which again, is overpriced ($39.99 for 15" model) - there are some fantastic form-fitting cases for half that (like TomToc, which includes a closed cover) and Soyan which also has a flap​ cover and just over $10. Minus one star for price - I paid $12.95 as of this review, and its not worth it. I would have liked to explore other options but was desperate to get a cover before the next lecture to help with sound.

I like this product for what it is and give it 4 Stars. I think if the edges of the cover had a slight “tackiness” (think of 3M post it notes) that ran along the edges, or even on the entire bottom, this would be a 5 Star product out of the box and freshly installed. The tackiness could be rejuvenated once washed of with soap and water after being cleaned. So far it does what I need it do. Keep my keyboard clean, looking new and give a barrier between the screen and keys. I don’t know how well this will hold up. It may stretch out, crack, etc so we will see. I did use the self adhesive tabs right away to keep the cover in place so it doesn’t blow off when using outside or fall off from me carrying it around with the lid open. Out of all the products out there, this has to be the best for the money and I’m all about value.
