    Does anyone use a keyboard cover on their new M17?
    Can you recommend a good one?
    Thx!

    Thx, but thats not really what I meant. Was thinking more like something that the above first reply pointed to, a silicone cover that you can type on.
    Cheers

    I thought you were meaning something like bigtony suggested haha. Well the 1st one looks pretty cool. ;)

    I wonder if it's comfortable for typing, I can't say how annoying it would be if it sticks to your fingers while typing :p

    Instead of going through all that pain and have all things sticking out + it will look ugly / loose the brightness of the keyboard by alot, I would wait a while and when available, I would just buy another keyboard as a replacement in case it gets 'old'.

    Bought this about 2 weeks ago and arrived after I sent my 17 back for an 18, so anyone in UK looking to get one without the big wait I can sell one soon (nearly 100 posts). I'll repost when its in NBR Marketplace.
