does the black carbon fiber protector make the surface overheat?

Hello Monica,Our black carbon fiber cover will not cover the air holes of your product and it will not cause overheating. Thank you for your inquiry.

I do not believe so. Before I had the protector the outside of the unit was warm to the touch and it still is when using the unit moderately. I think the scuff resistance of the cover is a plus. I would still buy the cover.

No it does not I used my surface in a training class that lasted 6 hours and I did not have a heating issue

I have not had any problem yet with it overheating. I used it to laminate a bunch of table menus for a restaurant. Though, as soon as I am done with it, I unplug it and let it cool before putting it away.

I use it pretty extensively just about every day for about 2 years now. I have never noticed it radiating any excessive heat.

No, the area remains black, however if you touch the area with the heat on you will feel a difference. but it does not get extremeley ho, just mild heat

I don't know if you have purchased already but my overheated so much I don't use it. I called to have it replaced which they did and still generates so muchheat I don't use this one either. I have a cover that comes down to cover my burners in the stove and that is the only place I can use it with confidence that it will not burn anything around it. Be careful. jfkflyguy-Dan

Not that I know of...it's never overheated and does its job every time, highly recommended! Hope this helps.

I had mine on for an hour or so, and it got hot, but did not overheat. Sorry, Wish I could help.

Hello. As with any cover, overheating is an inherent problem. I have this product and use it when traveling. At home, I remove the cover to allow heat dissipation of the laptop.

My proofer never gets that hot. I do agree with others that your unit is defective. I have mine, (when in use) on a roll around "school" cart. No problems with over heating that kind of composite plastic. I also have used it on tile table top. Of course it would not hurt that at all.

Some people warn against placing anything on the heat pad other than the cover that is designed for it. They think that doing so can cause the pad to overheat and fail.

So far i have had no problems with any over heating. I have had this cover for about 2 months.

I've used it for over a year and never had an over-heating issue. The computer gets warm when gaming or video editing, with or without the case on. I've never compared the actual temperature difference, but it seems to be insignificant.

Mel, good question. The case/computer does get hot but I have not experience any overheating. Because I have the same concern, just recently I started removing the upper back cover to allow air to flow around my laptop when in use for a long period of time. You might consider this an annoyance but I love the design of the case and how it protect my laptop.

In my experience, the heatsink gets too hot to touch, so I would be wary of improper airflow.

Not on my case. I bought 5 of these protectors (for myself and for my co-workers) and I have not experience this problem with anyone.

No. I have not had any issue with the device overheating and I run with it in 100+ degree temps.
