KB Covers

covers 20080226 213601 KB Covers

KB Covers are durable silicone covers for Apple Keyboards and Laptops. I had the chance to test out a few of their products, including a few for the MacBook Pro and a few for the Apple Aluminum Keyboard. They have many different styles, and different designs, including Keyboard Covers that have printed shortcuts on them, such as for Photoshop or Final Cut.

These KB Covers are molded for the exact product you order them for, and look very good with the overall Apple design. They are washable, so if you happen to get them dirty, it is quite easy to clean. They help to protect your new shiny Mac or Keyboard for dust, spills, and wearing away. Its very easy to remove them, and switch between covers if you do happen to order a few.

I see KB Covers as great accessories for every Mac user, especially those who work on the go a lot, and those that work in messy places.

Product Info:

Name: KB Covers
Price: $24.95 to $39.99 depending on model

Apple drops the price on the 1GB iPod shuffle, announces 2GB model

07shuffle fam 20080219 213353 Apple drops the price on the 1GB iPod shuffle, announces 2GB modelPersonally, I hate the iPod shuffle. But it serves, if nothing else, as Apple’s least expensive gateway to the iTunes ecosystem. Today, that gateway got even less expensive. Previously selling for USD$79, the 1GB iPod shuffle (available in bland silver, disgustingly teal blue, putrid green, substandard purple and a passible (PRODUCT) RED special edition) is now selling for USD$49.

The price drop means that entering the world of iTunes is now $30 cheaper. It also means anyone who won a 1GB iPod on eBay for anything more than $50 after shipping is probably already weak from kicking themselves upon hearing the news this morning.

To make matters worse for recent buyers, for $10 less than 1GB shuffles were selling yesterday those willing to wait a little while can buy a 2GB iPod shuffle. That’s twice the musical uncertainty !
