Read Before You Review - There are 2 Skins!
These is a secret that is not quite as apparent at first. When you first get your keyboard skin, you will likely only see ONE keyboard skin in the clear plastic bag it is packaged. However, there are TWO skins in the package: a clear and a labeled skin. Since silicon likes to stick together, it may look like ONE skin. However when you try to put BOTH as ONE on your keyboard you will be quite disappointed... likely because the TWO skins are not perfectly aligned. What you need to do is simply separate them! It will feel odd when you first do it. Given the two are thin you might think you will rip one or something, but they are quite durable. Just do it slowly and patiently.I have included some pictures to illustrate the scenario above.The label keyboard skin fit my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" perfects. The clear skin (free gift) was off just a few millimeters, which throws the fit off more and more as you move left aligned to right.If you flip the labeled keyboard skin over to see the back, you will see there are two skins. Its evident because most likely they are misaligned. From the front you would never know. Which is why its so easy to look at the labels on front and think its just ONE skin.HRH is aware the clear skin does not fit and will find out why. Since I believe the majority of us are buying the LABELED skin, not many are going to be disappointed the clear skin is not usable. Given the price compared to others... this remains the best bang for the buck. You just need to make sure you separate the two skins.

Fits perfect, get screen protector
I paid over 4 K for my Mac. I use it for broadcast-quality video rendering. I want to resell someday without any wear and tear (within reason). I was worried about this silicone key protector leaving marks on my screen when closed and in a hot environment. I love the silicone keyboard protector. It's thin. It's lettering is bright and bold. No mistake which command I'm issuing. It stays in place. It reminds me of training wheels for a new bicycle rider. Someday, I hope not to need it. Until then, I have also installed a ridiculously difficult screen protector to prevent any silicone rubbing against the screen. Now, I feel confident that I have mitigated possible damage. Yes the bubbles on my screen protector which protects against the silicone keyboard protector reminds me of my astronomy class...

Two covers, peel the clear one off -- 2017 MBP Touch Bar
Okay folks, like others initially I was pissed because it was all wavy, then I realized they sandwiched two together. Now, its not a perfect fit, but maybe it will fit better after a few days of banging on it. I will attach pictures to show you what I am talking about. So one photo will show you on the keyboard, this is immediately after figuring out their were two covers, VIM and Clear. The other shows the clear one, I think it says in the product description we get two, it is just very poorly worded. Cheers, I hope this helps.

Convenient for editing
Its was a great product for the first month and Id love using it when I am doing a lot of VFX work, the shortcuts really come in clutch. However, the only reason I've put the cover to rest is because it lost its stickiness a little bit afte a month and would fall off frequently on the ground when the mac was at certain angles. It would then pick up dirt and was very hard to clean. Especially with the new MacBooks you do not want any sort of dust, crumbs, or dirt in your keyboard, I recently had to get my entire keyboard replaced and thats when I decided I was not using this cover at all anymore. I am considering trying a more expensive brand that will last longer.

Probably Won't Buy Again
You kinda get what you pay for, but I figured I'd give this a shot because I wanted to cover my Touchbar MacBook Pro keyboard so that my greasy hands wouldn't mess up the keys [again, sigh]. This doesn't allow the backlight to come through at all. I don't know if this is the case for other covers too because I've never tried them, but it kinda annoyed me. Yet it's really thin, which means it often tends to bunch up on the keys, so basically my 90 WPM typing speed was significantly reduced and it made me really impatient. This does come with two covers. But they're both not that great, so I mean, who cares. Also, the graphics started to wear off after a few weeks. Maybe I'm just acidic or something.

Not one, two skins
Despite the product descriptions, the actual item contains two skins. They are intentionally stuck together so you have to peel both of them off.The clear skin is thinner than the skin with the legends, both work very well. A small problem with the skin with the legends is that the backlight on the keyboard is probably not going to bleed through. Still, very good deal, especially the fact that you get 2 for the price of one.Update: a minor downside is that the skins smell like slightly burnt plastic or shorted out wiring, which is not a big deal, but when I opened the package I thought my laptop caught on fire, so just fyi

Don't be fooled because it's cheap - it's just as good!
Fits correctly, printed well, and just as good (if not identical) to the $20 versions. After buying one program version to confirm the quality I bought the cover for every program I use (5 in total for the price of 1 official cover). All are perfect.VERY VERY HAPPY with this.

Fits very well and doesn't move much once in place. The keyboard backlight doesn't show through too much on my 2017 MB Pro, but the product itself is great. Doubles as a cover for outdoor events where there may be a bit of dust in the air etc....not something that could protect your gear at Burning Man or anything extreme, but good for light dust protection. Goes on and off without using any adhesive.

Sticks well to the keyboard.
when I first tried it, it sat on top of the keys a bit loosely for my liking. However there was a peelable second layer once taken off, the cover sits well around the keys.

fits very well, better than I thought
This is a nice bit of kit for anyone who uses Adobe LightRoom a lot. They also have the keyboards covers for a myriad of other programs.
