Can you keep it on the Macbook pro and not take it off (just close the laptop?)

I have an older MacBook Pro 17," and, yes, I can close my Mac with the pads on. It doesn't close completely, but it does close enough to sleep. In general, I leave the pads on when I'm at home, but take them off if I'm storing my laptop for travel.

Yes! I just purchased this cover for the exact device. The cover may wiggle ever so slightly, but it's not even noticeable when you're typing on the cover. Just FYI, Apple says not to leave covers on when closing the macbook, because the space between the keyboard and screen when the macbook is closed is tiny, and it may possibly damage your screen in the long run. Sometimes when I close the macbook with the keyboard cover still on, some dust/oil transfers to the screen.

I wish I could say I knew but I don't. That might be a good question to ask the company directly... I leave the MacBook plugged in as the default and working as our backup drive so I leave both on to backup in the background. Sorry I can't help more than that.

Yes and yes (if it is connected via USB). The Firewire, Thunderbolt, and Mini-DVI ports are obstructed by the elastic band. You might could finagle them in, but I don't think I would, since it would put stress on the cord. I guess you could cut the elastic band on that side, it seems superfluous in my opinion anyway (there is one on each side that keeps the case from being able to lay flat like an open book). The USB ports, power, SD slot, and headphone jack are all free and clear and ready to use. This is on a 1.5 year old Macbook Pro (purchased Jan. 2013).

Unfortunately no. It's not a dock able laptop, also the battery is internal and completely closed in so removing it isn't an option

Good question. I just recently bought a MacBook Pro and honestly it didn't dawn on me to try it. I'll test it out and let you know.

You can take it off however you dont need too. I think it is best to leave it on during maintenance and disassembling.

I have a late 2014 model macbook pro 13 inch. The case is good for protection, but like in my review the base cover comes off occasionally. The lid/screen cover is solid and has never come off. I should note, I take my macbook in and out of its carrying bag and open and close the lid multiple times daily.I also have the kuzy keyboard cover, screen protector and palm rest. Those items are a necessity as well and work just perfect. I work in a dusty environment so its vital if I want my macbook to have a good life.

Yes, you can. When the lap top is in use(open position) the apple icon is lit up. The case is a black, however it is see through. I hope this helps.

I never remove the case. It doesn't cover up any of the openings/slots in my MacBook Pro 13. As a result, I assume that it gets all of the ventilation it needs.

No, I do not think you can take it off. It looks like it is silk screened on. This is a wonderful item. I love it!

No you can't, this is for macbook. And also otherwise the quality of the cable was crappy, it stopped working on 2nd use. I don't encourage anybody to touch this piece of garbage.

Yes. Mine stays on all the time. It never falls off. I also have a macbook air 13 inch and it fits perfectly! You should be fine :)

Hmmm well if your purchasing it for a MacBook I would say yes because unlike any other laptop there isn't a fan that it can block because the bottom of it is solid. I leave it in the case with a hard shell and it's fine

my 13inch macbook has had it on for 3 years now and it's got a full 1/2 that jets out away from the corners. It's literally like placing your macbook inside a bigger book. Once it's zipped its fully protected. And I still place mine in my briefcase for transport or I just zip up the book and take it where Im going.

I don't think so. I have a MacBook Pro 13" with this keyboard cover on. I can close the lid as easy as without the cover. The keys are squared.

It's never slipped off from my laptop, unless i intentinally shift it on my keyboard. Also cause i've pretty much use my laptop in my desk But of course, if you flip your laptop upside down for whatever reason, duh its gonna fall off
