Newer Technology, Inc. announced today its NuGuard Keyboard Cover for 11″ and 13″ 2010-2011 MacBook Air notebooks. Available now for $11.99 from Other World Computing.
Protects Against Wear And Damage
NuGuard Keyboard Covers feature a silky smooth silicone surface to provide the fastest touch-typing possible. The form-fitting sheet is molded to cover each key and the space between each key for protection against key wear, food/drink spills, and dust/hair clogging. MacBook Air users can customize the look of their notebook with four stylish color choices: black, white, pink or red.
“The NuGuard Keyboard Covers are a great way to add personal flair to a MacBook Air while protecting the keyboard from wear and tear as well as the machine from damage,” said Grant Dahlke, Brand Manager, Newer Technology Inc. “They’re smooth to the touch for fast typing and easily peel off for simple cleanup to keep your MacBook Air looking and working like new.”
is there plans to bring a blue coloured version?
I’m sorry, but we can’t divulge information regarding the feasibility, development status or projected release date of future products.
When we do come out with new products, they will always be announced here on the OWC Blog right away, so bookmark us to be among the first informed on new products from OWC and Newer Technologies.
Okay, i was trying to hint it as more of a suggestion for a blue colour.
These keyboard covers seem awesome, but Apple’s manual — at least for my new MacBook Pro — says don’t place anything on the keyboard. Presumably that includes keyboard covers. Who is right, OWC or Apple?
Both are right actually….it depends on if you are using your MBA in “closed lid mode”:

Never place anything over your keyboard when operating in closed-lid mode. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off, which might create excessive heat and drain your battery.
