HardShells and keyboard covers

My MacBook was brand new btw I waited for this products to arrive so I can start using it, I've been using a hardshell and a keyboard cover from mosiso for the last 6 months, everything was great the only thing I noticed was that the lid closes easily, like its heavier with the lid on, so I decided to remove it, I dont know if its related but once I removed the hardshell I started to hear a weird noise like a click when I move the computer, and also the keys look like there's some glossiness on the edges like if the paint worn off,so what are your thoughts? stop using this accessories ? the worn off paint or whatever was because of the keyboard cover? I tried to do the best but I feel like I ended up with a worst result

MacBook Pro 14″

I would not use either. Here is what Apple has to say about using keyboard covers:

what do you think about the hardshell?, my main concern when I decided to use a keyboard cover was the dust that can get inside the keys

Why do you need a hard shell? The computer already has a hard case.

Dust is not an issue in normal operating environments. Using a keyboard cover is far more likely to cause damage than is dust.
