    Just an FYI to those who have the need or want to purchase this item.

    If you live somewhere tthat's hot and muggy...and your hands tend to get sticky or sweaty while computing

    this thing is NOT for you, the guard is sticking to my fingers constantly while I type this message!

    Does make typing a lot quieter though LOL

    Mine was so dirty that you can't see the letters underneath them. I tried to clean it with soap and water, but the oil stains are permanent and REALLY looks bad on the keyboard. Their palmguard is excellent, however.

    Yeah, it seems like most people that bought the Moshi are having issues with cloudiness from permanent skin oil. That's why I bought the iSkin with the printed keys. You shouldn't have to wash your hands to use the keyboard protector, that's what it's for, to absorb the skin oil. The only issue with iSkin is the backlit keyboard is useless with the printed key version but it's fine since I only use it when I'm drinking liquids or eating near my Macbook Pro.
