Has anyone used or had any kind of experience with the iSkins for the keyboard of the iBook? I have the all newer all white model. I am getting ready to replace my keyboard because it has all sorts of junk under the keys, and I cannot figure out how to clean it.. I am very new to macs and so I thought after I replaced the keyboard I would get one of the iSkin protectors.

I have the iSkin keyboard protector for my iBook (it's the newer model as well) and I really like it. It doesn't affect the screen, doesn't affect my typing speed or comfort, so it's a big plus in my books. As for protecting, I've never had the experience of pouring anything on the keyboard, but it does keep the keyboard underneath free of dust and whatnot.

However, I have let others use the keyboard with the iSkin on and many (if not 3/4 of them) really do not like the feeling of typing with it.

Hope that helps.

That is great! Thank you so much for the input.

Maybe someone can now tell me how to clean under my keys so I dont have to replace the whole keyboard.

Well the local mac dealer here is going to replace my keyboard tomorrow, and my bubblegum pink iskin has been shipped yay!

I recon the best way to clean a keyboard is to remove it from it's fixing in the iBook, and use a can of compressed air to blow the dirt and stuff from under the keys...

However, if it is really dirty, replacement is pretty much the only option...

Peace,
