Really great product....just one flaw
I bought this for my MacBook Pro 13inch 2018 with Touch bar and Touch ID. I'll start with the case. The case for the MacBook is very sleek. It barely adds any bulk to the laptop. Looks and feels great. Of course this case is not going to protect your laptop completely from drops/falls. It will however, protect it from scratches to the outside on the top and bottom of the computer. The finish feels like a matte silicon. Kinda has a slight rubber feel but not as grippy, if that makes sense. That's the best I can describe it. I really like that better than just a regular plastic cover because that would probably be more slippery when holding the laptop or even when its on my lap. Silicon tends to grip skin/clothes better than plastic. But don't worry, this is not one of those soft rubber silicon skins either. It is still a hard shell just with a silicon finish to it. Next is keyboard cover. I really wasn't planning on using this thing as I felt how in the world is this not going to slip off the keyboard since the keys are almost flush to the computer itself? There is hardly anything for the cover to grip on to. However, I found it to be pretty good. It stays on very well as it almost has a sort of sticky rubber feeling on the bottom and a perfect indentation for each key to help keep it in place. It also helps to keep dust and spills out which is definitely a good thing. There isn't too much of a difference in feel when typing other than the keys feeling more grippy, however, it does take some time getting used to as there is a bit more restriction on the fingers when pressing the keys. Very subtle though. The little sack bag that comes with it to carry some of your accessories is very nice and feels like pretty good quality. I'll probably fit my charger adapter and USB-C cable in there with no problems. Nothing really more to say about that. It works! Then finally the worst part about this product, the screen protector. As far as how it looks and the ease of installation, I would have given this a 5 star rating. It doesn't affect the clarity of the screen in anyway. In fact I can't even tell that a screen protector is on this laptop. It's just as glossy as the display itself so you can't even tell its there. Just make sure you follow the traditional method of applying screen protectors as dust will create bubbles so you may need to use extra tape to remove these dust particles if you want a perfect installation. The bad thing about my experience is that I guess my screen protector came in slightly bent on 2 corners. So after I applied it, there are now 2 corners on the left that won't go flush with the screen. I can imagine that over time, dust particles will collect under it and make it more and more noticeable. Possibly even having to remove the whole thing later if it gets worse. All in all, I would highly recommend this product. I probably just got a bad screen protector so in no way does that mean the product is bad, maybe just needs to be handled better when packing it for shipping. Hopefully yours will be ok. If it wasn't for that I would have given this a 5 star rating. It really is a great product and I am really glad I bought it. Hope this review helps you.
