Is it okay to put a hard cover case (with ventilation vents) on the outside of the MacBook? And a silicon case on the keyboard? I also put a thin screen protector to avoid scratches, is that fine as well? By using these protection items would there be any damage to my device that I should be aware of?

I'd be afraid of overheating since I feel all Macs are undercooled & especially the Laptop... I'm thinking the case is figured into the cooling effect... is it metal or plastic?
So I can use the keyboard cover while I’m using the MacBook and take it off when closing it.
It’s plastic.
I guess so but why would you want to?
