Get A Keyboard Cover Now Or You'll Regret It Later
Plus, five more smart technology finds you can't afford to miss.
We're not the type to take unnecessary risks just for the heck of it — especially not when it comes to our expensive electronics. But until recently, we were unknowingly playing fast and loose with our laptop's life by using it without a keyboard cover!
Not anymore, though, folks: These days, our laptops and computer keyboards are protected from dirt, dust, hair, debris and even liquid spills thanks to a slim silicone skin that fits snugly with the keys. It's removable, easy to clean and may just save your hard drive from shorting out if an accidental splash of water, coffee or wine somehow lands itself on your keyboard.
These silicone covers are available in a variety of colors and designs. You can have a Starry Night skin, a solid color skin, a rainbow skin, a penguin skin or pretty much any other kind of skin you can imagine. Whatever you pick, it'll keep your keyboard looking and working like it's brand new.
