Yes. The keyboard cover is a pale shade of the shell. It's taking a bit of getting used to, typing on the cover rather than the bare keys, but my MacBook Pro is nicely color-coordinated>

It feels mechanical. Clicky clacky! And yet, not too loud. It's a pleasure to type with.

It's like a sandwich bag. The flap folds over to put the Mac in and it folds back over it. It won't slip out unless you don't fold the flap back over.

It is not difficult to open or close. Have had this for well over a year and still satisfied.

It flips open easily. It is not loose, so it doesn't flap around but at the same time it's not so hard to open that it takes pressure to lift up. It's more like gentle click. However, the opening is not very big.

Not realy easy, but not hard either. I don't remove mine as I really like the case. Makes it like a small computer.

Hi Al, You seem to know a lot more about computers then I ever will... I have never thought about opening it to replace things... I have it set up as an extension of my larger lap-top. To me it's small, light and easy to use, this is why I bought it and I'm very happy with it... Sorry that I cant help you with your problem... Earl <*)))><

The info says "buckling spring", but it doesn't feel like an IBM (of which I have several. This keyboard does not feel solid, either. Rather unresponsive touch.

The filling feels like small, hard plastic BB's. The palm-rest cover feels like felt. It would be difficult to clean it seems to me. One characteristic is that it feels very warm, uncomfortably so. To me, the Microsoft Keyboard makes sense because it has a built in palm rest which is easily cleaned and does not feel hot.

Its not hard or rigid, but it fits very tightly to the macbookpro retina. Doesn't fit with a hard cover on on your Macbook pro. Its tough enough for normal wear and tear.

Yes, I love it. I have a Logitech too and it wasn't that great. This one makes it feel like its a mini laptop...

No, it is a pain to open, unless you have decent fingernails. You have to undo ~8 clips around the edges. I would recommend an external battery instead if you really want this case.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!

Personally, I never used the mouse provided. It feels like a toy. Also, the Macs mouse is too great to replace. Other than that, this product is perfect

It feels a little bit hollow inside that's all. I understand why people complain about it but it hasn't been a problem for me at all. also its only on the top part of the laptop. behind the monitor. ive had it for almost a year now and its a very worth investment.

Not at all. It feels very natural like you would expect from your laptop. I use it work and frequently type on my lap for hours with it. Good luck.
