    Just an FYI for anyone considering a TPU keyboard cover. I have tried both silicone and now TPU. I got two Cooskin covers from China. When I opened the package I wondered why double sided tape was included. After putting the cover on the keyboards, I realized why. These things are so slippery that normal typing causes it to lift off the keyboard. You're supposed to use the double sided tape to hold the cover securely over the keyboard so that it doesn't shift. The silicone covers I had did not have this issue since silicone is softer and seems to cling to the keys, but the problem with silicone is that dust and debris keeps clinging to it too.

    Anyway, I am not going to be using these covers and just wanted to point this out to anyone considering one.

    I never understood TPU covers, cases, etc. It completely destroys the form factor, aesthetics, size, etc of the laptop (or smartphone, or keyboard). I don't even run a case on my smartphone.

    Just use the device as-is, and be careful about dropping it or damaging it.
