I have a iSkin keyboard cover that I really like and I also bought the Marware past rest cover with the keyboard blanket cover. My question is putting that on top of the iSkin keyboard cover and closing it, is that too much? Do you think that is putting pressure on the screen? Thanks

i personally thought the iskin cover alone was to much. besides after a while it got bothersome cause it kept slipping around while typing

Huh, I have had it on my keyboard for about a month and had no problems at all with it. Your would slip off the keys when you were typing?

has anyone else used the iSkin? I want to make sure it is not too much pressure on my screen.

Alex, could your problem be because you are using it with a TiBook and not a Aluminum 'Book which the iSkin is designed for?

I use the marware by itself and I sometime worry it's too thick, so I would definitely question using the two together. I think you would probably just be better off with one just in case it is putting too much pressure.

I have the Marware strip on my Blackbook's wrist rest. I generally like it. Hoping that there is no funk when I (eventually) remove it...It is supposed to be funk-free, but you never know do you?

I know some friends who would use iSkin + Radtech's ScreenSaverz because the iSkin has a tendency to leave smudges/imprints on the LCD when its closed.

Um....well....I pulled mine up because I had a few air bubbles and there is a sticky residue, but I ran my fingernail across it and it came up fine so that should not be a problem.
