Would you recommend leaving this on while the Macbook Air is closed? I've heard that a keyboard cover can damage the screen due to oils and pressure.

I haven't had any problem with damaging the screen so far. If it happens, i'm gonna sue the company. Regardless, don't get this product... it's not that good.

I've had mine for a year and have never removed it from the keyboard. I have not seen any damage or imprints on the screen. My macbook air is closed most of the time. I love this keyboard cover.

Mine has been on it since I purchased it with no problem. It is so thin and formed you don't even know it is there.

I think you would be fine... I have not had an issue with my MacBook Pro at all.

Yes but why would you need it? The screen is protected by the keyboard cover. Unless you want to pull out the iPad Air and still have the screen protected in some way

I think that you are asking if this cover can be used and closed if you are using the optional detachable keyboard. Yes. This cover works great while the keyboard option is being utilized. This is how I use it since I really don't care for the on screen keyboards. I am really pleased with this cover, even more than the keyboard itself. The only knock I have against it is that it does not have a spot for items like thumb drives. Besides that, it is well designed and constructed. I have been very happy with it and would purchase this cover again.

You sure can! The screen rotates so when you close it back on itself, the keyboard is protected under the back of the ipad. It's slick.

Yeah I get smudge marks from my most used keys. I ended up putting a small price of cloth over the keyboard when I close it to prevent from happening.

No mariaelena, it doesn't damage your Mac. I would say go for it, since it really protects your laptop from scratches that could occur within the palm rest. But I would say the protection around the mouse pad is useless. It sticks so closely that you won't be able to tap the track pad at ease. Also the soft tap on the mouse pad is not easily recognized because of the sticker. So just go for the one around it. It's will be cheaper.

I have an older MacBook Pro 17," and, yes, I can close my Mac with the pads on. It doesn't close completely, but it does close enough to sleep. In general, I leave the pads on when I'm at home, but take them off if I'm storing my laptop for travel.

It's the feel. You don't really feel like there IS a keyboard cover. This I really like; however, I really don't care for how it's appearance changes almost immediately. It becomes so cloudy, you can barely identify your keys. Heat is another concern. This MBP vents heat through the keyboard, which is very important. The Moshi seals in the heat, forcing the Mac to vent elsewhere. Hope that helps.

I purchased a Shaggy Max screen protector to prevent this - a soft cloth that lays between the screen and the keyboard when I close the computer. The keyboard cover has left no marks on my screen since I started using the ShaggyMax screen protector.

The computer itself has a sturdy case especially if the key board is attached. The extra cover should help reduce scratching. Drop any computer just right (especially on corners) and it can shatter the glass etc. To be honest, I have never used my case. However, I have taken my 2 in 1 on several trips without any scratches or other damage.

Ditto Frank's comment. We had to remove the cover from the ipad, but the keyboard is great. Just be careful, it does not hold it tight, and if you try to pick it up by the keyboard, disaster could ensue.

Yep, mine has been overheating also. I thought it was the keyboard cover that came with it, but after throwing that away, my computer has still been seizing up so I just took the cover off today and hope I'll have no more problems.

Hello, You may close the screen when it is attached to the unit. But I take my laptop home an a regular basis and I have a plastic cover on the top and bottom to protect the unit from scratches. Here is the kicker... You will have to take off the bottom plastic protection every time you want to lock/secure your laptop to the Landing Zone Dock. I would still buy it again, it

Yes, you can close the computer with the cover on. It makes absolutely no difference in opening or closing.

If you don't clean the cover periodically (every other month) it will accumulate oils, gunk, etc... and it will transfer them to the screen. No different than any other keyboard cover. On the other hand, it fits like a glove and protects the the laptop well

This laptop hasn't a touch screen. You have to take care with the things you leave there, because any screen is going to be broken if you leave something between the keyboard and the screen when it is closed.

The keyboard sleeve is clear. But if you leave it on while you close your laptop the shape of the keyboard begins to imprint on your screen.
