![]() As much as I liked my Moshi cover, I like this one even more. Fortunately, before sending it to Apple for servicing, I learned about UPPERCASEs GhostCover, ordered it, and slapped it on my serviced Pro before even turning on the machine. Im a cat owner-need I elaborate? As fate would have it, it needed service and due to this models extremely integrated design (not to mention that the keyboard never worked right), the entire logic board-which includes the keyboard-had to be replaced. When I finally upgraded to my 2016 Pro, I was distressed that no protector was available. A little background: Im a huge believer in keyboard protectors and used one (made by Moshi), from Day 1 of ownership, with my 2009 MacBook Pro. I havent been writing many reviews lately but I had to make an exception in this case. But because that protection came at the expense of a comfortable typing experience, this isnt a product Ill be keeping on my MacBook Pro keyboard 24/7. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to make the purchase. There is, obviously, some utility to having a keyboard cover, especially for those who are obsessive about keeping your MacBook clean. Likewise, I dont plan on returning this keyboard protector, and will save it for situations where I might feel its needed. Apple is also to blame for designing such a flat keyboard in these models. To be fair, this isnt entirely the companys fault. This is important to me as a programmer, where the typing experience makes all the difference. I do recognize that other reviewers have noted that it perfectly fit theirs, but I guess for my MacBook Pro 15-inch with Touch Bar, typing with this protector never felt right. However, it didnt resolve the fact that this keyboard cover is just slightly loose. They worked to the extent that typing on a key didnt cause the protector to lift up. After applying it flat on the MacBook Pro keyboard, I discovered how loose it was on the edges as well as the middle keys, so I used the small adhesive strips included with the protector. I just wasnt able to comfortably type with this protector on it.
