This thing is complete junk.. it doesn't fit! I know I ordered the right one for my computer, so thats not the problem. It doesn't fit tightly around the keys and it comes off when I type. I can not get it to fit tightly no matter what i do. Ripoff.. I'm really upset because this thing was expensive for what I got.

For what model? I got one for my ibook a couple of years ago and still have it. It fits on the keys just fine and does not come off when I type. Only problem I really had with it when I first got it is that it didn't fit snug on the edges. I later learned to deal with it.

Sorry you have had trouble with it though that sucks.

I had an iSkin and I loved mine. It's not designed to fit snugly, that would be bad. Macbooks vent heat from the keyboard, it needs to be loose so the heat can escape.

I thought MacBooks vented through the back? I know my iBook vents through keyboard but I thought the design was changed?

I have one for my macbook pro, and love it. You just have to get used to it, it will feel different. However I have grown to love it. The keystrokes are silent, and I can be as messy around my computer as a I want to be. It also is nice because I can feel better about other people using my computer.
Overall a great product, a little overpriced, but worth it since there isnt another option.
I havnt had ny problems with the iskin coming up as I type, and it is perfectly molded for my keys.
