But that is my concern. I guess as I sit here and lean side to side on my Macbook, I forgot about all the ports on the left and the dvd slot. Perhaps that's where most of the air enters the macbook. I did a quick google search and I didn't come up with anything definitive either way (heating or no heating) but I did find some complaints about marks and/or smudges on the screen from keyboard skins. So I don't know what to think. They look really cool. But that is my concern. I guess as I sit here and lean side to side on my Macbook, I forgot about all the ports on the left and the dvd slot.

We can work on getting some review samples from iSkin to see whether there's any performance, extra heat, or battery degradation using the ProTouch keyboard covers on a few MacBooks. @thehotrod: Good question.

Since there are no air inlet vents yet there is an exhaust vent in the back, I'm assuming air enters the MacBook through the keyboard. Is that true? If so, it would affect performance and battery life right? Would this cause the MacBook to heat up more.
