Netherlands, but I think these things get shipped from China. Not from an Amazon warehouse for sure, so might take a while before it gets here.
Hopefully it will not take that long to get delivered. I’m really interested to see what’s the process, as I’m also from the Netherlands.
I have this exact one and it works great and shows illumination at night too. Fit is good and does not touch the screen when closed.
Do you have any updates regarding the keyboard cover? Is the package already dispatched?
I've always used one since my first ever Mac in 2010. I've gotten so used to it that it defined my typing experience. It mutes the rattle-y sound of the keyboard and makes the keys feel less mushy as well.
I got the same one from ANOIYA, looking at yours and the cut, I think they're all from the same vendor.
Typing experience is kinda okay on these, definitely had better experiences with covers. Plus the edges could extent a little further. Overall the quality is kinda meh (given I had to return my first order because the edges were stretched).
My prior 2018" cover was by MOSISO and it felt much much better, waiting for them to release one now. For now this will do though

Guys, just interesting what is the point of using these ugly keyboard covers on laptops? Is it echoes of butterfly keyboard issues? Asking because I haven't had any problems with M1 Air's scissors keyboard even though I often eat at it (butterfly of the 2016 MPB was the hell though). Do not believe that typing experience does not suffer because of them.

For me it was a drink-spill accident a friend caused on top of my white macbook way over a decade ago. No butterfly or scissor mechanism would save me from that sadly ?

Just received this one in the mail, this is not the first one I ordered which is from a different brand, but this one got here first.
Came in nice packaging, fit is pretty decent I would say though with these things I am still hesitant to close the cover for fear of damaging the display. Doesn't slip while typing, and although it impacts typing experience slightly I am already getting used to it so I'll probably keep this on for now.

I have the same one, keep the MacBook open so it does not mark the screen. I like it, makes typing almost silent, and the fit is spot-on. After a couple days it is no longer noticed.

I ordered a Techprotectus hard shell case which came with a keyboard cover... but wasn't planning on using as I thought Apple strongly advised against this?

Yeah, but what is the difference between typing on or dirty keyboard or dirty cover? You can always wipe dirty keyboard in a one minute (or use vacuum cleaner if you get used to eat sandwiches above the keyboard). While using covers, you're not only loosing great tactile feedback of macbook keyboards, but also getting risk of damaging the display by cover. It reminds me screen protectors that turn macbook's screen with best in class antiglare coating to mirror displays like of some cheap chinese laptops or those plastic cases that people put on their sleek aluminium machines to turn them into bulky pieces of plastic. Isn't it better to just buy some cheap lenovo or so to get the same or even better experience out of the box?

There is no risk of damaging the display unless someone uses a hard keyboard cover like those made of bamboo.
For people that type a lot, the keys can quickly wear out. That’s why you see that shine on keyboards. It’s not because of oil, it’s because a layer of the ABS plastic key cap has literally been sanded away.
Yes, this is the perfect reason to pay $2K+ for laptop to touch it through a peace of rubber. Hope the next buyer will appreciate your matte keyboard ?

I couldn't care less about resale value. For me, rubber key caps are preferable, especially since key travel on MacBooks is far from ideal compared to ThinkPads.
Sorry for slow reply as I don’t come to forums much. I am happy with it still and find it does the job well, no obvious issues in either build quality or usability. Would recommend it.
