Two recommendations for accessories for my Macbook Air extremely useful for both what they are meant to do and also as something completely different. The first was a simple privacy screen to keep things private when I’m sat in meetings making notes I don’t want seen travelling. The second is a keyboard cover to protect the keys from my aggressive typing (I wore the M and N keys away in 6 months on my last laptop).
The unexpected bonus of the privacy screen is that I bought one that had guide rails stuck to the side bezels so it can be slotted in and out as needed. This also stops me getting fingerprints all over my monitor. I just take it out and clean it with soapy water, plus it only cost about 15 dollars so i’m happy to replace it if I need to.
My keyboard cover (as recommended by Kathy) actually does an second job of catching crumbs and long bits of hair (the classy fallout of not stopping work to eat and being on the keyboard 18+hrs a day). I love the Moshi keyboard protector which is so light and thin I don’t notice it’s there and doesn’t effect my typing – in fact i’d buy it purely to protect the keyboard from debris. I was surprised by how nice the Moshi was compared to other covers I have seen which created too much of a buffer between my typing and the keys to make them workable.
If you want to try it out, here’s the keyboard cover. Again it “sits” on the keys , it’s not glued on so can be removed and cleaned (spot a pattern here ?}
