Does the cover help keep the Mac from sliding off your lap or out of your hands? I travel with mine and often have to use my lap as a table.

It's a hard plastic case that can slide easily, but from my experience it hasn't!

The surface has a bit of a rubbery texture to it and it does hold my laptop in place. Sliding should not be an issue.

It does not slide around while using the laptop but when moving the lapdesk the computer does slide and could fall. When in use it is pretty stable. There is also no room for a mouse to move around if not using a finger mouse on a laptop.

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping:

Unless you tip it or knock it backwards, it should be all right. Because of the lip in the front and the pads at the perimeter, it is pretty secure and the lap top does not move. I use a 15" Mac Book Pro on the stand and I have no problems.

I have not used my Mac outside with the covers, so I don't have an answer for this problem. The case has been wonderful.

I do not own one but I can tell you that I have a similar ASUS with that keyboard cover and it is great! I have 2 ASUS 550DT laptops. One of them has the keyboard cover while the other does not. I prefer typing with it off. Of course, it sucks for typing at first as 1.) you are not used to it. 2.) it isn't worn in yet when it is new. I had a lot of issues with it lifting up with my fingers and missing keys when trying to type fast. I had to go to typing with one finger at a time. However, over time I can hardly tell the difference now and I would rather have it than not have it as it has saved my laptop many times during spills. It is very easy to slip the cover off when needed and get to typing. I ordered several of these covers for my laptops but ended up giving one to my mother when she got her ASUS laptop. That's how I ended up with 1 laptop that does not have a cover. There is no doubt that typing will always be easier with no keyboard cover but I highly recommend that you use one.

I have the mac book pro 13 (not retina). The case often shifts only when the laptop is open but for the most part it holds my laptop. When its closed it fits perfectly. But it has never fallen out

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.

For sure. It's super easy to get off. I just slide my index finger beneath a corner edge, and the corner slides right up. The smooth silicone also feels pretty tactile, and does very well in keeping the cover flush to the keyboard, especially for how easy it is to remove...but why would you want to take it off for travel? That might be where it'll protect you most. Also, it makes my keys even quieter, and there are no cpu-heat issues with this one either. Had mine about 8 months now

Does the cover stay put? the one i have the soft cover keeps coming off and the plastic pad is exposed. Thanks.

I also have a mac pro 13" but my cover does not move around much. It does alter the touch of the typing a bit, but that's much better than replacing the computer which I had to do due to a spill. I don't think it's supposed to be tight fit, but moving around a lot is not OK either.

I do not have a problem with my laptop sliding. it has like a mesh/ rough top. my laptop has grips on the bottom.

With the keyboard detached, the cover will flip back and over but there is no way to prevent the cover from sliding on your table surface. This case is designed only for the tablet with a keyboard attached.

It doesn't fold behind the mini like the soft cover does. However, if you flip it, as Collin said, the magnet will grab and they hold nicely together. You don't have to put the keyboard aside, which would be inconvenient when not at a desk

I have the mac book air. There are straps to secure the laptop. This product is not bulky. It does protect my mac book. I am going to order another for my husband's laptop also. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

The shell does a great job of protecting my MAC Book Pro from scratches, so under that those conditions, it's very good for traveling. However, if you are a little rough with your computers ( dropping, hitting the edge of the computers against hard surfaces), these cases may not fully protect the computer from damage.
