MacBook Air 11.6 Invisible Film Keyboard Protection

Historical text from HellasProject (2009–2014). It is not current advice or a present-day service.

A little while ago I sold my iPad (iPad 3G 16Gb) together with the Camera Connection Kit and much else, put in a few euros, and got the MacBook Air 11.6 with a 128GB SSD..

A very nice tool!! But I also learned from the iPad that the more you protect it, the easier it is to sell later! That is why I looked on eBay for a few things. One of them is Invisible Film Keyboard Protection, that is, for all the keyboard keys. I did not, heaven forbid, sit and put them on one by one; it has a system that lets you put on about six at a time and more!!

I quote product information..

Designed for demanding MacBook users who care about their precious machine. Macmate is a sweat/scratch resistant thin film solution that effectively protect the MacBook’s palmrest, track pad, keyboard, top and bottom case against the deleterious yellowish stain, effects of grease, irrepairable scratches and smudges that accrete over time. Macmate provides quality protection while remaining unobtrusive.

I can say I am quite pleased; it barely tired me at install, it took me about 15 minutes for everything..

In the pack besides the full keyboard there is another piece with extra keys in case one goes wrong or you place it badly. I needed it because my F4 came off and I crumpled it; I thought oh now what, then I spotted the extras and calmed down!!

I also include photos of mine!!
