    I was wondering if anyone could forward me to a Fujitsu Lifebook S2110 keyboard protector akin to the iskin ones found at http://www.iskin.com/protouch_PB1.html

    Something that is also silicone and not polyurethane for better touch and feel. I've already looked into the protector reviewed here at notebookreview.com but didn't find it as suitable.

    Thank you.

    I don't know whether they make such a product for your model, but I devised an imperfect - but workable - solution for my Compaq V4000 when I couldn't find a commercial product to fit the bill.

    It is as low-tech as can be, LOL! I cut up a disposable plastic tablecloth and attach it around the edge of the keyboard using strips of a double-sided removable poster tape. The tape peels off easily when I want to replace it and leaves no marks.

    It is certainly not spillproof but it does a good job of keeping crumbs and dust out of the keyboard without disrupting the functionality. The material is a soft, somewhat matte plastic (not glossy) with just enough "give" to make typing comfortable. It takes only a couple of minutes to apply, and I replace it when it gets grungy - every six weeks or so.

    Having said that, I think Fellowes offers a customized solution where you send them specs and they produce a cover to order - IIRC, I think you can get it through Office Depot or Staples. But I'm not sure if it's for laptops or only regular keyboards. Anyway, maybe it's worth checking out.
