Review: Uniea Keyboard Cover
by Magnus
If you really want to protect your Apple notebook, getting a cover for your keyboard may be a good idea. And if you’re the kind of user who likes to eat and drink in front of the computer then you probably know how much dust and particles gather under the keys. I’m sure you only spill coffee on your keyboard once before starting to protect it, especially on a notebook. Uniea offers the kind of silicon cover that has become popular lately, with offerings from several companies coming out. This particular cover fits both MacBook and MacBook Pro (15- and 17-inch) and it comes in pink, blue and transparent. It has a smooth top surface, and your fingers glide easily to find the keys. On the bottom side it’s a bit stickier. Fitting it onto the keyboard took a little while because you have to place it just right. But it’s no major task and once it’s in place you don’t have to move it again. Our cover had a mismatch for the enter key, which Uniea seem to think is split into two keys. Otherwise the match is near perfect and the cover fits very tightly over the keyboard. Perhaps our cover was an early production one and we hope that problem has now been solved. Typing with the cover on is actually pretty nice, but that has a lot to do with personal preference, I think. It makes the keys a bit softer and the typing a bit quieter. I’ve tried these types of covers from other manufacturers and Uniea's seem to be right in line with them in terms of quality and feel.
