All the important electronics that make your iBook or PowerBook G4 tick are under the keyboard. If anything gets in between your keys, it poses a serious threat to your computer's health. If you love your iBook or PowerBook G4, you will want to protect it against everyday hazards caused by spills, dirt, crumbs and other unwanted elements. The ProTouch PB is precisely molded to fit and protect your keyboard by creating a protective barrier without restricting use of the keyboard. Stays in place while you type. The iSkin iBook/PowerBook G4 keyboard protector requires no adhesives and grips the surface of the keyboard without slipping. This method allows for easy removal and application. Washable and easily removed. When washed regularly or removed before closing, the iSkin keyboard protector eliminates screen staining by reducing the occurrence of finger oils and dirt particles being transferred to the iBook/PowerBook screen.
Customer Review: WARNING: May Fry Your iBook - Otherwise, Okay
I already have an iSkin cover for my desktop iMac keyboard, and bought this item for my old Clamshell G3 iBook for the same reason: to muffle the keyboard noise. It works as advertised. Unlike the desktop version, I didn't even have to trim it to fit the spacebar. Like the desktop version, it's grossly overpriced (the manufacturer's cost can't be more than about $1), but there's no cheaper alternative, so you might as well bite the bullet and buy it. Having said that, they should include a WARNING for Clamshell iBook owners: if you leave this cover on the keyboard when you close the iBook, it will force down a couple of keys and prevent the iBook from going to sleep. Because the computer vents much of its heat through the keyboard, your iBook will then heat up, possibly cooking itself to death. Mine just sat overnight like that, and when I picked it up this morning it felt like a hot skillet. It's now shut down and sitting on my desk to cool - it seems to have survived, but I don't know how many hours this experience took off its lifespan. The same thing may happen with other PowerBook and iBook models, so be sure you test the machine's automatic sleep function before folding it up with the iSkin in place.
